Julia and Matt – Gate Street Barn
Posted by: | CommentsSo…carrying on from my last wedding in February I seem to have found yet another delightful couple. I guess its a vibe you give off. Be delightful attract delightful. How very rude of me to describe myself in that way (mind you that just proves my point). Saturday I got the extreme luxury of spending the day with Julia and Matt at Holy Trinity in Bramley and Gate Street Barn in .. well .. Gate Street. Of course I spent the whole day thinking I was shooting the wedding of my cousin Angie as her and Julia were surely separated at birth (and a few years if I can say that and not offend my cousin). The good thing about a March wedding is you expect it to rain. So when it does you’re not bothered. But more importantly if you get a window of dry you’re over the moon. However, you’d probably be over the moon at all the wonderful bits you put into the wedding. The jars of Tomato and Apple Chutney for guests (I did not have snack relations with that chutney…..OK OK I admit it I did…and it was GREAT), the decoration of the barn, hiring one of the finest florists in the land in Kate Avery and picking some incredible venues. It was all quite daunting. In fact, upon entering for the wedding breakfast Julia took a moment to look out over her guests, the barn…everything…then got a wee bit emotional. Rightfully so.
There will be more images on my Facebook Business page. The link to this can be found at the end of this post. So gander here, scroll and click for more.

It seemed an interesting time to revive her skills at stair diving

Joni and Matt – Bury Court Goes to Oz
Posted by: | CommentsI’m going to have to carry on the theme of a quick blog post. I’ve got lots of photos but not much chat. Its manic busy at Shootinghip Towers. Let’s say that Joni and Matt’s wedding bonkers. OK. In a good way. Lots of great emotion, lots of fun, lots of family and friends. Its a day that makes you feel like you were part of something fantastic. Thanks to everyone for making us feel so welcome! More images on my Facebook Business page which is available after these images.
Bum — well. Its true.

Andrea and Ken at Bury Court Barn
Posted by: | CommentsToday is a quickie again. I’m so sorry. I would love to be charming and witty (ok..I AM charming and witty, I can’t help it…but I’m really up against the wall here with work and kids and work and others peoples kids). So let’s just say it was a lovely (AND BLOODY HOT) day at Bury Court Barn for Andrea and Ken’s wedding. I’ve never seen an entire wedding party huddle under one tree. It made an outdoor shoot feel like working on a bus. Not that I mind. I love a good challenge. We’ll all miss that weather soon!
More after these on my Facebook Business Page.

Jo and Richard – Bury Court Barn Wedding Photography
Posted by: | CommentsContinuing my short theme. Man its summer. Not just in the weather but in the number of weddings I’m seeing. I love them. I hope you do too. Because over the next few weeks you’re going to see loads.
Time now for Jo and Richard. A lovely couple married at Bury Court Barn. Jo has a special job in being…well, I’m not sure what I’m supposed to call it…but it seems like a nanny. What she does is build some wonderful bonds with children and families and I was lucky enough to see on of the families she’s worked with at the wedding. Parents as guests and the children as Bridemaids. I was rather moved by how much Jo meant to these folks. A feeling I can easily relate to getting to know her just a wee bit.
Of course Richard had his own uniqueness too. His love of (not so fast) cars (which eventually did lead to a very fast car). His wild friends and the things that grown men can get up to with a golf club and bare bottom. A watershed moment for sure.
Thanks to you both for having us along.

There’s a wonderful back story to this…but it would just spoil ALL the fun!

Lucy and Jud – Bury Court Barn
Posted by: | CommentsAnother rapid fire blog post. I’m nearly there in the catching up stage…that is before I hit a triple wedding weekend. Then all bets are off! But today is all about Lucy and Jud (aka Judson — sounds like a US teen pop star). As a wedding photographer (and a recommended one at Bury Court…not that this has anything to do with my next comment but sometimes you just gotta grease the g00gle wheel) you stand at the front of a ceremony and think to yourself “so which one of this lot is going to be superb camera fodder?”. What I mean is, sobriety is a leveler and champagne…well, that disrupts the balance of life. A bit like forgetting to punch in the numbers every 118 minutes. I’m guessing over the closing holes of this post you’ll begin to learn of all the loose canons. My favourite part of the day…that down time between the end of speeches and the first dance at a summer wedding. Amazing what people can get up to. I love you all for it as well!
There are a few more on Facebook. TBH, they were posted the night of the wedding so I can’t recall how different they are. But I’ll post the link to them at the bottom.
Mirror, mirror (well, picture frame, picture frame) .. tea or coffee?
You can be as old as you like…and even on your wedding day…but Dad still gets the job of reminding you of THE TIME!
Bless him

Christmas Wedding at Bury Court – Kate and David
Posted by: | CommentsHo Ho Ho…ITS CHRISTMAS! Thankfully no ears were damaged in that shout…but I’m guessing you can’t get Slade out of your head now can you? Its time for cheesy Mariah Carey songs and a universal distrust of Egg Nog by the British..seriously, its GREAT! Time for special takeaway cups at Starbucks and screaming children who would really rather think of Santa as the chap in the story and not the one who smells of a fake beard and Old Spice in the Grotto in the city centre. One of the best things about Christmas is a Christmas wedding and Kate and David will now always have a bumper month of December. I started off in the wonderful village of Odiham. Home of the Army helicopters and Kate. I wonder what the connection is that eventually she’d meet and marry a man in uniform. Following a fabulous ceremony at the church in the village (thanks to Gary, the vicar, for a unique and uplifting ceremony) it was back to one of the best wedding venues in the UK, The Barn at Bury Court. As a recommended photographer at Bury Court Barn I see weddings throughout the calendar year. Whatever the weather its an exceptional place to work.
As always, there will be a link to more images on my Facebook Business Page. But for now, have a look at these and when you get to the bottom, find the link to more.

Fabulous church

Not what most Brides would do…but I get the sentiment
not more than 35 minutes married and already in the dog house
Some random shots from a tough part of the barn…it defines you (including bottom left, its Rob from Saara and Rob back in May)
Fantastic styling
You won’t often find 4 verticals in a row – its gotta be a sign
By this point I was counting medals to determine who was the groom and who was the best man — 4 = best man
Beats me
A fantastic day! Thanks for having both Darren and myself along. I wasn’t able to include any of Darren’s today or in the FB gallery due to logistical reasons. Sorry.
