Surrey Wedding Photographer – Clare and Nick – Just One
Posted by: | CommentsSunshine didn’t stop yesterday being a great day. Sure everyone was a bit disappointed with the cloudless sky and warm sun but they all put it behind them to make it a great day for Clare and Nick. Such is the British stiff upper lip.
Today’s Just One is a riddle. I knew the second I walked up the path to their house that the porthole window was going to be a feature. I found the flowers and photojournalistically placed them in it :) I took the first shot and realised that the light though the blinds made a strange pattern….nope, don’t like that, close the curtains. Then I get back to Shootinghip HQ (kind of like the Batcave without the steel abs suit) and thought “gee whizz Batman, those line are really interesting”. I then realised that “this town needs an enema” (perhaps one of the best lines ever delivered by Jack…apart from “Here’s Johnny!”) and went with the lines. Oh the irony.
Wedding Photography at Cain Manor – Claire and Michael
Posted by: | CommentsThe time has come to rock on in to 2010 and what better way to do than a double header weekend with two venues I know intimately…well, not THAT intimately. I will never rap “I once got busy in a Cain Manor bathroom” or anything but I know my way around the place pretty well — and Tithe Barn too. Claire and Michael were great clients…easy going, nice to know and generally free from preservatives. A great combination leading to organic imagery at no additional cost. You know, that no one really EVER reads the blurb above the images so I have to ask…why are you. I mean what could possibly learn from anything I would have to say. Go look at the images….forget about this waffle!
Another worried victim of the old ‘I gave my mate my mobile and it had pics of me in my pants on it’ OR just a nervous FOB….
Michael gets comfortable with his two up two down tee-pee complete with double glazing
It took time to convince him it wasn’t called a buttonhold
The dress is from Scotland and a whole lot tastier than Haggis
Da boys….and look close and you can find ‘Ashley’ larging it up on the right
Why its flowers….in the bath…naturally!
Surely you can’t be serious…(sorry, only Simon will get that)
Oh dear…the men from the traditional photography police are rocking up outside my house now — these guys are worse than the phone cops
Texture…like a fine mousse

The debate rages…is it an awning or a vestibule?
Thriller!
Claire and Michael found the hypnotic flowers more than a little helpful with attaining the ‘aspirational’ items on the gift list

Cain Manor Wedding Photographer – Claire and Michael – Just One
Posted by: | CommentsOnce said by a flying man-boy in a green suit … “Here we go!” (that’s Peter Pan in case you were wondering)…today really kicks off the 2010 wedding season. Yes I realise I had weddings in January and yes, technically those were 2010 weddings. But there’s something more resolute about the coming year when the shift changes, the weather starts to warm, the daffodils come out and the new F1 season begins. So before my blog gets impounded by the Aussie police for improper use let’s get on with the first Just One of the cup campaign.
Ironically I’m sure I had other worthy JO candidates. But this happened so early in the day that it stuck with me and sentiment never hurts an argument.

The Barn at Bury Court Wedding Extravaganza
Posted by: | CommentsYou know, when you stare at the word ‘extravaganza’ long enough you become convinced it was only invented by someone playing Scrabble with an exceedingly naive opponent. Nevermind about that, but do mind about popping over to The Bary at Bury Court (or as I like to call it Bury Court Barn) on Sunday March 21 between the hours of 11am and 4pm. In their words it will have “an excellent selection of exhibitors covering a wide range of professional wedding services”. I start to twitch at being referred to as professional….but then I suppose, if the shoe fits.
I’ll be there (and Nicola too)….so come on down (Price is Right stylee) and let’s talk shop.
For more information (well, not really, but you can get a map etc) go to Bury Court Barn’s website.

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…
If you missed their wedding you can find the blog entry by clicking Clandon Park Wedding Photography.
