Wedding: Llyndir Hall – Kate and Paul

Filed under Weddings Tags: , , , — • Written by Alex @ 9:14 pm on June 25, 2009.

Edit: Kate and Paul’s wedding website now online! Check it out here.

So, sheep, sheep and more sheep. That’s how I always envision Wales. This time however the only sheep were fakes ones in the grounds of Llyndir Hall for Kate and Paul’s wedding. I’m not going to say anything about whether it’s the most tasteful thing to have in your lovely lawns or whether it’s a good thing to prolong the Welsh stereotype but hey, they were kinda cool.

Anyway, I’d driven up to Llyndir near Wrecsam that morning with the ever gorgeous Holly in order to photograph the (also) ever gorgeous Kate marrying Mr Paul Sinclair. We spent the entire day there following Kate in her journey into married life, starting with her prep in the morning all the way through to the dancing at night. I had a really awesome time, thanks for having me along guys!

Wedding: Cooling Castle Barn – Cat and Matt

Edit: I’ve just put up Cat and Matt’s wedding website. Check it out here.

So hands up who remembers Cat and Matt’s engagement session? Well if you don’t go check it out. These guys are hilarious and on Saturday I had the privilege of shooting their wedding at Cooling Castle Barn in Kent. Awesome venue, hell it even has a castle in the grounds, could anybody ask for a more photogenic location?

Anyway there’s far too many great photos to share them all so here’s part of the story. I began the morning with Cat and the girls getting ready at Smudge’s hair dressers in Sidcup…

Peak District: Rob and Rebecca

Filed under Uncategorized Tags: , — • Written by Alex @ 11:12 pm on June 1, 2009.

So, “Get to the Peak District.” That was the first instruction given to me by fellow photographer Mr Chris Beaumont on Saturday. Following that came; “Get to Heathersage, then drive out of Heathersage, turn left at the Flying Dog pub, go over the hill, far away, over a cattle grid, cross the palm of the helpful sheep then look for the short haired guy standing on a rock.” Useful.

Anyway Chris and I then hooked up with Sue Mossey for our first photographers’ shoot out. The idea was simple: Chris had a couple of friends who got married a year ago and were looking for some awesome post-wedding photos. Since Chris and I are always bantering about who’s the better photographer we decided to make a trip out of it (well and I love being chastised by a chubby man after 3 hours in the car for driving a Citroen…)

This being England I was planning for rain but it actually ended up being one of the hottest days of the year. Did manage to find some shade though under Burbage Bridge.

Becky also brough her fab wedding dress along with her. Really awesome to be able to bring out the dress and show it off up on the mountainside!
