Well after last weekend I was kinda bummed when I checked the BBC weather to see that it was meant to snow/rain heavily on Saturday. Not another e-session with horrible weather! Well thankfully Aunty got it wrong and in the end who could ask for better weather? Emily and John came down from Letchworth for their engagement shoot and since John is very much into his kayaking we decided to take a walk around the river and then into Cambridge.
Lots of fun was had along with some scones and clotted cream. Enjoy!

Phew long time no blog! It would appear that the more time I spend taking photos the less I blog. Damn and drat, must rectify that! Anyway here’s a few from last weekend’s engagement shoot with Sarah and David. I’m not sure we could have picked a worse day for the shoot as it spent the entire time drizzling. Yuk! Sarah and David were fab though; not being phased by the weather or by being kicked out of the Grand Arcade (apparently taking photographs without flash causes epilepsy – I’ve learned not to argue 
) as we wandered around Cambridge’s old streets.
Lots of love going on and can’t wait for their wedding in a couple of months time!
More adventures soon,

So I’ve been working on Alana and David’s wedding album and website recently. The good news is the website is now finished and I’ve just put together this little video slideshow for them as well. Enjoy!

Phew what a day! My last wedding of the year, Alana and David at Down Hall Country House Hotel in Hertfordshire. Just got home, downloaded the images and well this one popped out at me. Straight out of camera, have to say I love it.

A very white wedding. So far this year I’ve had lots of rain, and a little bit of sunshine at my weddings. I guess that left one weather condition out which was determined to make an appearance. Yep on Saturday for Rob and Catherine’s wedding it decided to snow. As I’m sure you’re all aware the whole week has been filled with snow, however we woke up in the morning to sun and blue skys. Kinda fortunate really since I was starting to get worried about the hour and a half drive I was going to have to make in the morning to make it for the wedding.
Well yes anyway, the weather was superb for the majority of the day, if a touch cold. Rob and Catherine got married at St Thomas More church in Leicester just a few minutes drive from Catherine’s parents’ house. It was a really beautiful ceremony for a really lovely couple (well as loverly as lawyers can get )
I’m still sorting my way through the photos so you can rest assured there are a lot more to come but I just had to put this one up. Just as I was wrapping up for the evening we got the snow we had all
been hoping for. With a bit of lighting magic to turn on the outside light (yes it had no light bulb in it so I had to do it myself…) we managed to grab this. Enjoy!
Stay tuned, I’ll be updating this blog post with more photos as they come in.

So just before my weekend goes all manic I thought I’d put up this slideshow I put together from Susannah and Tom’s wedding earlier this year.
It’s a format I’m experimenting with so feel free to let me know what you think in the comments!

So October is proving to be a very busy month for me! I’ve got meetings with new couples coming out of my ears, engagement sessions and this weekend is Cambridge Lindy Exchange! Phew! No sleep for me. Standing out head and shoulders above the rest though was my first Girl, Girl wedding last weekend at the George in Rye. And wow what a wedding it was; Kerry and Sue. Sue’s a very fine photographer of her own and as such it was a real pleasure to photograph her wedding. Sue also invited along another photographer friend, Chris Beaumont, to cover the day. Now for those of you who don’t know Chris and I, we both have two things in common, we’re a *touch* competitive and a *touch* fond of a good single malt. As such and with Sue’s blessing we decided to put a slight wager on: a bottle of single malt to the best photo of the day. Chris, the shot below is my entry, where is yours?

So autumn is coming! As such we decided it would be a great idea to take Jon and Aurelie out for a quick engagement session before their wedding next year. Turns out Saturday really wasn’t the best choice of a day! Overcast and very windy. Oh well, I think we’re going to try again for better weather soon and once the leaves have turned a little more golden. Until then though here’s a sneak peak of some of the photos from Sat.
Recognize the location? Yep I thought I’d take them to my favorite derelict house just outside of Cambridge…

So I’m going to keep this one brief since I’m a touch snowed under by photos at the moment! Anyway Saturday was the turn of Klair and James to get married. I must say I started the day with some trepidation since James is the first friend whose wedding I’ve photographed. Normally my couples know me as a photographer first and foremost so getting down to taking pictures on the day is no biggie. It’s what I’m there for. With James and Klair however I had to transport myself from friend mode and into Photographer mode for the majority of the day before I could relax and have a drink with them. It was also the first wedding I’ve photographed with Jelena assisting me instead of the usual Holly. It all turned out brilliantly though, the day was perfect, exceedingly relaxed and just joyful. From what I’ve seen of Jelena’s photographs they look super awesome and I can’t wait to see the rest of them. Here’s a few of mine to be going on with though….

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!
The Riley Car! Tom and Susannah managed to snag a Riley for their wedding car, and, well I couldn’t resist a photo looking out over the rolling hills.
