Edit: Ok it’s not 5am this time around, only 4. Just putting the finishing touches to Ruth and David’s wedding at Woldingham Boarding School in Surrey.

Really great day, Ruth poured her heart and soul into the wedding with details to die for. Honestly I’ve never quite seen anything like it, if you’re getting married I highly recommend you try and convince Ruth to do the details for you. As a quick run down we had:

• Handmade confetti cones in baskets
• Handmade popcorn, sweets and cake instead of canapes
• Photographs of both Ruth and David’s parents and Grandparents on their wedding days
• Homemade, personalised cupcake favours
• Handmade personalised menus for each guest
• Fimo moustaches on sticks
• Personalised flip-flops for the girls
• Individual silk fans for the ladies

On top of that we had a vintage routemaster to take everybody from the church to the reception, a harpist and lawn games during the drinks and a sparkler exit.

I only hope I’ve done you justice Ruth, it was quite frankly amazing.

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!

More adventures to come!

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.
