Wedding: Woldingham, Surrey – Susannah and Tom

Filed under Uncategorized Tags: , , , — • Written by Alex @ 10:13 pm on August 27, 2009.

So normally when I go to a wedding I can be pretty darn sure I’ll have the most photography equipment out of everybody there. You can imagine my surprise then when getting close to the wedding venue I passed rows of paparazzi all with huge telephoto lenses at the ready. Fortunately for me it turns out they were actually camped outside Katie Price’s house, a stone’s throw from Susannah’s parents house in Woldingham!

I have to say it’s one of the most picturesque places I’ve had the pleasure to photograph. While Cambridge is undeniably beautiful, the rolling hills of Surrey certainly give it a run for it’s money! For once this year we even had the weather to match it. Stunning wedding, I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the fireworks at the end (yes I’m a pyromaniac at heart…). Thanks for having me along guys and have a great honeymoon!

Wedding: King’s College, Cambridge. Li and Nick

So here’s a conundrum, what do you put in a wedding photoblog post when the couple asks that you refrain from adding any identifiable photos of them? Well I guess we’re about to find out! Saturday was an absolutely perfect day for a wedding. The sun shone down on Nick and Li as they got married in the Cambridge Registry office, then moved on by punt to King’s College for a fab reception. For those of you not from Cambridge, King’s is an absolutely beautiful college. So much history and so many different photo locations. I was falling over myself with great places for shots! So, if you’re getting married at King’s and wouldn’t mind me putting identifiable photos up then please hit me up in the comments or use the contact page to get in touch. I’d really love to shoot another King’s wedding.

One&Other: Plinth on the Plinth

So for those of you who don’t know what One & Other is, where have you been? To fill you in, you might want to check out this post here.

Anyway, Bob the Pot took the the plinth last week for his spot. The idea? Get everybody on the ground to make clay models of themselves, then using the wonders of a fishing rod, hoist them up and add them to a clay plinth constructed, yes, on top of the plinth. He then intends to fire the plinth and auction it for Friends of Fulbourne, a charity caring for sufferers of mental illness. I agreed to come along, take some photos then take some shots of the final sculpture.
