Wedding Photographer Surrey – Tor and Duncan’s Slideshow
Posted by: | CommentsThere’s no question I love being busy. Especially in the winter months. With 5 weddings between the 18th of December and the 9th of January I knew things were always going to be hectic. Christmas, New Year, travel to York — twice in 5 days. What I didn’t expect was 2 cases of Chickenpox and 4 days off of school. All in all it put everything behind…a lot. Thankfully everyone has been more than understanding…clients, family…everyone. For that I am grateful. Earlier this week I posted a new slideshow on the website. Here’s a link:

No, you haven’t walked into a random episode of ‘Chuggington’ but rather a shameless plug and testimonial from a client last June. Lucille and Richard were married at Clandon Park last year and with the delivery of their album it kind of brought everything full circle. I was delighted to receive this in an email a few weeks back:
First, Lucille and I are absolutely thrilled with the art book you did for us, it looks wonderful - we look at it just about every other day as it so clearly captures the spirit and soul of our wedding, in fact all the pictures you took will forever remind us of what a great day we had. We are both so glad that we were able to have you cover the day, it was a pleasure having you around, doing your stuff, making everyone forget that the lens was there (and making us all look so good).
All of our friends keep saying that they are “the best photos ever…”
Aww…bless. Obviously I’m over the moon…and even more so that I’ve gotten more than a couple of referrals from them. Thanks a bunch guys…

Wedding Photographer Surrey – Tor and Duncan
Posted by: | CommentsHelp Wanted: Red Nosed specialist need only apply. Seemed like a good idea on Thursday night when the snow started to fall. By Friday morning we were in a winter wonderland. Time to change the plans a bit and collect Darren a wee bit early. Funny thing was, it was far more dicey this side of the county than in Wonersh where Tor’s parents live and where the church is. It was funny being back in Wonersh. Nicola and I had our wedding reception in The Grantley Arms 14 years ago…the same pub that Duncan and many of the guests met at before the ceremony.
Bury Court was lovely — as usual. Such a warm and inviting space. Of course the gigantic overhead gas heaters probably have something to do with that. Below are some faves…some interesting bits and some random hoo-hah.
Ding dong merrily on high
Halleluja
For those of you without microscopic vision it says “Bra through hoops” – As Mrs Maguire said…”you had me a bra”
Both myself and this Bridesmaid agreed that it wasn’t the most convenient place to leave a map
Tor’s Dad get a first look
I DID SAVE THE DATE….I WAS THERE!!!!! Tor is Nick’s Brother and I shot Nick and Clare’s wedding in 2006
I know…its shocking…but its true
All about the girls
The headless groomsmen arrive minus the horse of the apocolypse
Its only fair that I show you this…
…so that you know who these belong to
Trying, without much success, the remember the 2nd and 3rd verses of ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas”
“oh bring us some figgy pudding”
Here’s Nick (aka Tor’s Brother and celebrity of the save the date card on the fridge a few snaps ago)
“we won’t go until we get some” — I assume that’s referring to the figgy pudding
Carol…no, really.
The sausage roll monitor wasn’t in the mood to play games
I’ve shot at Bury Court Barn loads of times…but had never seen this table plan idea
Tor sits by the window whilst the ghost of Christmas past lurks in the background
Never one to be outsmarted, Tor grabs him by the mistletoe
oohhhh…ahhhh…
ahhh…ohhhh…
Perhaps my most interesting cake shot ever (so what does that tell you)
Its so, ho, ho cold
Chef Boyardee
Eye-ye-ye
And a few from Mr Darren
Not many people will like this as much as I do…and that’s ok..moving on
Uhoh…someone just grabbed the map
This week I went long and he went wide

Posted by: | CommentsLoads more to come on Tuesday…more likely Wednesday. We’ve got a family thing going on Monday. So let’s just say tune in on Wednesday late afternoon. For tonights just one I decided let’s go for something that identifies the unique nature of the environment today.
Surrey Wedding Photographer – Nicky and Steve
Posted by: | CommentsA few weeks off and one never knows what might happen. A gentle ease back into the wedding photographer world would have been welcome. However, the weather had other ideas. Torrential downpours, alarming gusts of wind and even a bit of hail did little to make the transition easy. But I’m pleased to say the elements did little to dampen (get it) the results and in many ways helped contribute to some great opportunities. With a house in Epsom, a church in Guildford and a venue in Leatherhead we were certain to get soaked. Somehow, though, the rain gods seemed to take pity on us and every time we ventured out we stayed dry. Sadly the same wasn’t tue for all the guests. Some braved monsoon-like conditions to get from the car park to the church. Troopers…the lot!
It was my first time at St Saviour’s in Guildford. A wonderful building just inside Guildford town centre. Keeping up with the firsts it was also my first time at Cherkley Court near Leatherhead. As a wedding photographer you dream of certain venues. Light, space, period features…this place has the lot. I can’t tell you how much I would love to go back.
So..enough banging on. Time to get on with Nicky and Steve at Cherkley Court, St Saviour’s and Surrey.
Clean. Simple. Toast.
Ice Ice Baby
Hair Grafitti
Orange slice
“Hot towels…we NEED hot towels!”
its a little game I like to call…spot the Bridemaid’s shoe
it rained…more than a little bit
Steve smiles knowing that’s one more off the Christmas card list
Hey…wait a minute! I remember you! Cathy…the best client I never had
A little overdressed for a Saturday’s shopping in Guildford
Steve watches the screen at St Saviour’s — a distinctly unfair advantage if you ask me
Whoda guessed she would fall for the old “there will be a quiz later” gag
More than a little bit better than Jedward
His last wedding before he retires
The first time I had seen drinks and canapes at the church
Steve’s mum schools the youth in how to have a good time
Nicky is beaming at the confetti toss whilst Steve looks like he stepped on a carpet tack
OK…the carpet tack thing was just a joke. I know you KNOW people!
Enough to make me want to be a librarian
Radiate(or)
Hey…its my Just One! Sign up and never miss a beat.
The impressive stairway at Cherkley Court
After 4 hours and a few formals Uncle Ned realised the err in his ways in ordering those super bouncy souled shoes from eBay
The Bridesmaid Buffet
Nothing like the Bates Motel…can’t think why you would even mention it TBH
Stevohette
Yes…to answer the riddle I did actually get this shot by lurking through the window
People watch things in very different ways…
I’m willing to bet chap A (left) stole chap B’s (right) girlfriend at Uni
Nicky surprise video of messages for Steve from his friends in Singapore
Whatever you do don’t trip over the light fantastic
Who invited Nicolas Cage (dead left)?
And a Few From The Dazinator – AKA Darren
Darren – the master of the guest shot
Still dealing with that carpet tack
A closer look at the library shot
Great work as usual Darren!

Posted by: | CommentsRemember yesterday? Yes, the day of rain, wind and hail with biblical proportions? Broken umbrellas and soggy feet? OK. We’ve established that….so how did we get this? Talk about being in the right place at the right time!
