Evan and Holly’s Dad’s Blog

Hi and welcome to my blog. Filled with images from my recent weddings, engagement shoots, portrait sessions and corporate work. Most importantly its a window into my world...a world where family takes an upper hand and I have the images to prove it. Hopefully you'll take a few minutes to browse and once addicted set the blog as a bookmark. If you have any comments please feel free to add them or just get in touch.

For The Record: The images that I put on the blog from recent weddings may not always be the best or even ones you might expect. They are things that I saw, that I like that I want to share. Sometimes they are part of a quirky story or show a tender or ironic side to a wedding.

Ahh…the lovely Nicola.  But she goes by Nikki.  Unlike my wife who would crack me over the head for calling her such.  What’s the point?  There is none.  Welcome to my world.

Nikki and Dan were the first of my double wedding weekend.  A lovely way to start the middle of September.  I joined Nikki and her family at the pub across the road from their church in Chiddingfold…the lovely Crown Inn.  Ironic that this was the location for one of my very first weddings many years ago.  Things change I guess.

A quick hop across the road (well, she did ride in the awesome VW camper van) to church meant there was no excuse for being late.  Of course having 112 bridesmaids all under the age of 14 would give anyone reason to be late.  OK, I’m exaggerating.  It was still a lot.

Once finished with the ceremony it was back in the ‘bus’ to Ramster.  A lovely venue in the Surrey forests between Chiddingfold and Petworth.  The sun was warm meaning a lovely break in the courtyard before heading back to speeches (which were first) and the evening reception.  A lovely day.

There will be a link to more images after these…so stay tuned and scroll down.

Hannah and John,

Look…you know I love you.  No seriously.  We have a history.  So don’t be offended when I can’t write much.  Man my life in overdrive at the moment.  So I’ll keep it brief.  Hannah, I loved that you mum is a nutter and your Dad ain’t afraid to shed a tear.  John, I love that you can play keepy uppy in a room full of expensive antiques.  I love that Hannah replaces Helen as the new H Stanton.  I love that you guys had a cheesecake and that Helen and Dan had a cake of cheeses.  I love that Dan actually believes that Gillette IS the best that a man can get.  And on that note….

Ah…I’m going to really struggle with this Fab 4 thing.  Two starts from the blocks and both times I had to go +1.  Oh well.  John is the brother of Helen.  Helen and Dan got married in Dec 2006.  I shot their wedding.  I’ve since shot Helen and Dan’s neighbours, their friends and now her Brother.  Good times.

Bubbles – A Testimonial

Posted by: | Comments (0)

ramster photographer Bubbles   A TestimonialHannah and John at Ramster :

“We just wanted to say a huge thank you for our wedding photos. We knew you would do a great job after Helen and Dan’s wedding but the photos have really exceeded our expectations – they are incredible! We have had so many comments from friends and family who are gobsmacked at their quality. They are such a brilliant record of our day – we couldn’t be happier with them. Thank you so much for all the hard work. And everyone loved the dance floor shots of my mum – even her! We managed to get through a bottle of bubbly while watching the dvd slideshow and have watched it countless times since then.”
