Emma and Jordan – Gate Street and Hascombe Wedding
Posted by: | CommentsDespite already shooting 4 weddings this year its always those after the Easter holidays that sit in my mind at the turn of the year. Winter weddings are kind of an extension of the previous wedding. So this is…I guess the first Spring wedding of the year. Of course someone need to tell mother nature. My last wedding at the end of March was a very outdoor affair. Sunshine and blue skies dominated. Friday was…well…a bit different.
From sun, the dark clouds, to thunder and even hail (albeit, very brief). We had it all. But no amount of rain can get between Emma and her Lance Corporal. if Afghanistan couldn’t stop them, how could a bit of rain. Like everywhere on Friday the weather changed with the wind. So in reality, much of the day was dry and at time even sunny.
But what about the day. Well…talk about some stunning locations. First is St Peters in Hascombe. What looks like your typical village CofE church from the outside is quickly transforms into something not out of place in a cathedral in an old European city. Incredible it is. Then there’s Gate Street Barn. Tucked away only a few miles from Guildford, this country retreat with all the luxuries of transport and accommodation of a big town is simply sensational. A very well thought out venue, it uses multiple indoor spaces to cater for all types of weather. It truly is one of the South’s best wedding venues.
Of course I couldn’t miss the opportunity to thank Emma and Jordan’s parents. Wonderful people with fabulous children. It was so great to feel part of the event…not just recording it but actually a part of it. From the minute I arrived at Emma’s house to the last goodbye I knew I was amongst friends. Thanks for being so welcoming.
Finally…as with all wedding, you may want to see a few more. To do this I will post a link to my Facebook Business Page AFTER this post. So scroll, read, enjoy then find the link at the bottom!
You’d be mistaken for thinking you’re looking at a cathedral somewhere in Italy. In fact, its St Peters in Hascombe…Surrey!
Later, Gran would be attached to Emma’s flowers so she could be there in spirit
I can categorically say that there isn’t a lovely Jack Russell running around on the train just out of sight…honest
“and I recall we both kind of liked it … well, that’s one thing we got”
Three babes…me sitting on the loo. A typical day at the office
SKYPE!
I’ll be expecting large men with weapons later today at my house
It seemed an odd time for a game of Twister
Try!
No air kisses allowed
Jordan…and unlike others that IS his real name
Mum revises for the wedding quiz…or is she making a list of things she may have forgotten…who knows
Legs 11 – Church Bingo
Total Doppleganger-tastic. Ladies and Gentleman, the secret to Arsenal’s woe…Wenger moonlights as an organist
Ignore the previous rule regarding no air kisses
Phwoah….I’m comfortable in saying that
Gate….
D-fense…oopps…sorry…D-tails
Squeeeze
seems legit
Said he said Pooh
NEVER leave an unattended bag of Love Hearts with the children!
The age old riddle of a cake and how many soldiers it takes to cut it
Hands Laws…hands!
The kids are alright

Wedding Photos at Gate Street Barn – Louise and Adam
Posted by: | CommentsTwice in two weeks I’ve been treated to the full version of the Sugar Hill Gang’s ‘Rappers Delight’ by wedding DJs. Strictly not my generation but I did have an older brother eight years my senior. It goes a long way to impress Darren. So in the spirit….I am wonder Mike and I’d like to say hello…to the black, to the white, the red and the brown, the purple and yellow.
It had been around 4 years since I last visited Gate Street Barn. In fact, it was the World Cup and England were beaten by Portugal. Some things never change. Gate Street Barn, on the other hand, has. With lovely new additions and mature grounds the place is entirely different to my memory. Perhaps I’m different…who knows. What is for sure is that this is a top class, grade A wedding venue. It covers so many bases. A Bride’s room, a staging area, a wonderful ceremony space that also doubles as a wedding breakfast space. The Pheasantry is perfect in the event of iffy weather (none around this weekend). It felt warm…and I don’t mean in a temperature kind of way. Kudos to the folks for making an all around great wedding venue.
Now…Louise and Adam. What a couple of characters. I called her nutty in my Just One post. Nutty in the finest way. An infectious kind of nuttiness that takes you over in an instant. Adam is the perfect compliment. Let’s call him suave nutty. Not quite the Snickers that Louise is…more like a Topic. You know the nuts are there but you kind of have to let them find their way out. Amazing how you can relate people to a chocolate bar. I love Snickers and Topic…perhaps that we get along so well.
Right…as usual, you can see loads more on the Facebook Preview Gallery (click the link AFTER you’ve had a chance to see mucho imageos in the post below).

The only thing better than one Louise….TWO!
I love the lines. If only there was a streaker running through the lawn in the background.
Adam — DOWN with the kids
Sadly…not this kid
A general rule is that most ceremony spaces have terrible light. A few locations buck the trend and its in those locations that an abnormally large number of photos of the ceremony appear. Work it out for yourself.

Phew…that’s a lot of emotion…all genuine. I loved every bit of it.
Brumski….or not
I’m not certain that all hands are currently accounted for
This detail actually appears in the detail collage at the top…but I really like it. Alot.
Taking The Proclaimers ’500 Miles’ a little too seriously

For the last time NO…I don’t know the Muffin Man!
Suits you sir!

More Hot Shoe Diaries
Dance fever…(although I now see an exit sign…off to PS to remove that!)
And now a few from Darren
Spare a thought for our dear Darren. I take all the best spaces, the best angles, best light. Regardless of this Darren always delivers some amazing stuff. He’s rather good you know!

Gate Street Barn Photographer – Louise and Adam – Just One
Posted by: | CommentsBlinkin’eck. What a hard ‘Just One’ I had about 12 to pick from. In end I went for something that I will always associate with Louise and Adam. That being she’s a bit nutty and he spends a lot of time going “eh?” in response to her being a bit nutty. But nutty in a good way. Like a Snickers for two :)
The rest of this wonderful wedding, full of emotion, laughter and good times, will appear on the blog tomorrow. So do stop in!
But for now! (thanks goes to Darren…he’s my voice activated boom and Mary Poppins impersonator)
