Alex and Simon – Civil Wedding Engagement Photos
Posted by: | CommentsA few weeks back I got the chance to meet up again with Alex and Simon. Their civil partnership is coming up in June at Eltham Palace. A wonderful venue I can’t wait to get back to. These guys have a real eye for detail so I can’t wait to see what they come up with in styling the wedding. I’m guessing there may be a few more ‘details’ than normal with this one.
There are some more on my Facebook Business Page.
Pre Wedding Photography – Kat and Richard
Posted by: | CommentsA wee frolic through the wildes of Liss last night. Something a bit different to come on this one later on (like next week most likely).
Engagement Photography – Mills and Ben
Posted by: | CommentsYou knew it would happen. After nearly two weeks of sunshine and warm weather, the day of my latest (pr)e-shoot and it rains….A LOT! Nevermind, when life deals you a lemon, make lemonade…then add a bit of Southern Comfort to it and you’re mint. It seemed to do little damped the spirits (geddit) of Mills and Ben. Here are few of me faves.
All in all its just another brick in the wall

Lorna and Charlie at Cain Manor – A Brief Encounter
Posted by: | CommentsAnother quick client meeting. This time with Lorna and Charlie who booked me from Singapore. After we dispensed with the details I offered them one of 15 minute turbo sessions. Just a laugh and chance to see what I get up to on a wedding day. Most clients get worried about this (although champagne often quells any concerns) but its nice to say “that’s it guys…nothing more complex than that”. So, with all of us dressed for a day at the beach we buzzed through 3 locations in 15 minutes chatting along the way.
Cherkley Court – Engagement Photography – Nicola and Steve
Posted by: | CommentsOK…strictly speaking this ISN’T engagement photography. A proper engagement shoot would be about 1.5 to 2 hours…so 12 minutes hardly constitutes an engagement session. But 12 minutes is what we had and 12 minutes is what we did. It was kind of cool to see what we could get in a limited time span…especially considering they had only just met me for the first time. Normally, on a wedding day, both bride and groom are used to be photographed either through preparations or the ceremony or etc etc. So to turn up, how you doing and shoot is pretty daunting.
BTW, this was shot at a new venue (well, 3 years old) called Cherkley Court. Sorry, the building isn’t 3 years old…its really old, but its in its third season as a wedding and events venues. Pretty sweet!
The sun was at it worst…directly overhead…but I got some stuff I was pleased with.
Couldn’t decide which one I liked best…so here are two. Amazed at how much brighter the reflection is compared to the actual subjects
What was funny about this room is that its just a passage way. The coordinator thought I was made to use it…but there was a viewing going on in the rest of the house. So Lin…whatcha reckon?
Love in a….carpark!
Posted by: | CommentsDon’t let the rude title fool you. All will be revealed.
Evan came out with 2 corkers (OK, by the time I tell you it won’t have quite the same impact) this weekend.
1. Evan demonstrates his knowledge of how things are by explaining that when he was a baby he was in mummy’s tummy. We both look at each other (bemused), smile and Nicola says “yes, buddy, you were. Mummy had a great big old tummy and you were in it.” To which Evan replies, “but not anymore mummy, you have a very little tummy”. Needless to say hugs and cuddles for Evan. Chalk up the brownie points!
2. Lose the brownie points. My wife has…well…grey hair. She has done since the age of 23. I always said she should embrace it but we’ve agreed to disagree on it. So last night was hair colour night and naturally Evan gets curious. “Mummy, what’s that in you hair?” “Its hair colour.” “But why?” “To make mummy look pretty” (cue 5 seconds of silence) “Mummy….not pretty yet!” I assume this is because she had gobs of gook in her hair and if you squint hard she looked like Amy Winehouse (off the crack of course).
This past weekend’s wedding was a no blog zone. I told them to simply pay their taxes and then they come out of hiding…some people never listen. However I do have a few things for you. First a couple of engagement sessions.
George (ina) and Howard – Some football stadium which I’m not allowed to mention
Each player hand drawn, pixel by pixel
It later emerged that Howard was a Spurs fan…check out the home side heckler in the background
However, as Paula says “Opposites Attract”
Clearly it was Match of the Day
George reveals the secret to Beckham’s swirling free kicks…open toed shoes!
Attendance has gone down…let’s hope the team don’t follow
Neither look much like football hooligans
“ “
You’ll never walk alone (man, I’m running out of football knowledge)
Perhaps my favourite shot of the session
Shame he wasn’t a Man U, Liverpool or Arsenal supporter…then the red would have had more impact
1-1 draw
K&A (names abbreviated to protect the innocent) — Most certainly NOT in Swindon
First, a few for Leela’s dad…yes, you can use a car park
Kissing by the pale garage light
Couldn’t decide which way I liked most…so both go in
OK…that’s enough of the car park
The Groom-to-be used to be in the choir..I bet he never thought….
A rare moment with no one around…it didn’t last long
The problem with old buildings…nothing is straight!
They really go well together
A natural moment
Basking in the warm California (like) sun
Hitting the streets…guess who’s carrying her handbag!
I originally said I was going to post the US photos today. They are ready, but I’ll wait until Wednesday so that I get another post in this week.
