Today I photographed Gemma and Dan who get married at Marwell Hall, Hampshire in September. We used both the front and rear of the house for some images of both some classically posed portraits and also some more contemporary images to get them used to being photographed as well as finding some locations they liked for some time alone on the day.
I’m taking advantage of some of the weekends in the run up to the 2009 wedding season where I have a “spare” day to do two things. Firstly I’m starting to push my cameras to their limits in tricky shooting situations as preparation for the romantically lit churches and wedding venues around the South of England where I’ll be photographing critical, unrepeatable and emotional moments – and secondly shooting some personal work (OK I know – busman’s holiday) to relax and enjoy myself.
Marwell Hall wedding photos of Joanna and Grahams wedding held in Marwell Zoo, Hampshire
Sunday’s shoot was for Joanna and Graham, who will be getting married in Marwell Zoo in Hampshire at the Hall in August. On a bright, and warm day we ventured up to the lovely Marwell Hall and got some lovely images in preparation of their wedding photography and then headed back to the Marwell Hotel for a drink and a talk through the details for the day.
Todays wedding was at Marwell Zoo – well Marwell Hall and Hotel to be exact, a favourite location of mine as an annual pass holder a frequent haunt for me both shooting weddings and visiting with my family. Fiona and Rob’s wedding was a wonderful day full of laughter and fun.
This morning saw us spend some time with one of our June couples Fiona and Rob who will be getting married at Marwell Hall in the zoo and then onto the nearby Marwell hotel for their reception.
