Amy and Miles came to me mostly by accident. When Amy was a child her family met another family on holiday (in Spain I think). They made a connection and through the persistence of the children the families got together again…and again…and again. That family had two children as well. Laura and Lindsay. Fast forward a bunch of years and Laura then becomes Shootinghip Bride Number 1. Basically she is like the ‘godfather’. From her many weddings come. She is responsible for quite a few weddings in the past few years. Something I very grateful for. I’m pleased to say that this time next year I’ll be preparing to photograph Lindsay’s wedding at Lulworth Castle. Its like going full circle.
OK…this isn’t supposed to be about Laura…its about Miles and Amy. Miles is the Diet Coke man. That hunk of a guy that turns up, not window washing in a muscle vest top but rather the IT guy who fixes your problems. You deliberately put viruses on your computer to get him around. Devilish! Amy is the calm one. Thoughtful, circumspect and focused. A picture editor as well (no pressure then). It all comes together in a most remarkable place. Wasing Park. Set in the Berkshire countryside in a private estate it not only boasts two function ‘barns’ but also a church within the grounds. Plenty of accommodation as well. Its a gem. Good friends, loving family. A perfect combination.
I kind of need to get on with my to do list…but I did want to share some images from their day. There is also a link at the end for more images on my Facebook business page. So look, scroll and click at the bottom!

Since there was little time to anything else this morning before racing off for wedding number 2 of 3 this weekend, I decided to do a quick Fab 4. Miles and Amy were married at Wasing Park in the church on the grounds of the estate. What a fantastic venue! More on Monday.

There’s nothing that Berocca and a long things to do list can’t cure. I’m steadily working my way through the backlog of August. This weekend is a blessing and a curse. 3 weddings. Its great to be booked, loved and working — but perhaps the timing could have been different. I don’t reckon it will matter in a month or so…just some great memories from a summer’s worth of amazing weddings!
Here we find Louise and Steve who were married at the New Mill in Eversley. The home of low beams and cars that break down in the ford. Quite apt as I was speaking to a friend who is also a photographer. I told him I was at New Mill. He said “did you hit your head”…”yes, blood and everything”. Did you see the photos of the cars that broke down trying to cross the ford?” .. “No but I did see a car broken down trying to cross the ford”. Reputations exist for a reason.

More catching up…this time the wedding of Charlotte and Adrian. Its another blindingly fast post. So fast that I can’t even add my quirky comments. Today its all about the pictures. Adrian and Charlotte were married in Sway with a reception in Charlotte’s family home just down the road. A very personal affair. Congratulations to you both. I will keep you updated.

Another speed demon blog entry today in a blazing effort to keep up and press on. This wedding takes us back to the 20th of August. Normally weddings are blogged no more than a few days after. But I’m learning that August when having school aged children is a challenging month. I’ve suddenly become extremely task orientated…and I dare say it…multi-tasking too. That’s right…I’m a woman (well, I did see ‘One Day’ when we were on holiday).
Today its Julia and Jon…a delightful couple with a notoriously interesting view of time. So sayeth the shepherd, so sayeth everyone else too. Its all part of the charm and romance of it all I reckon. Bless ‘em. We started in Ockham outside of Guildford and by the time your tummy starts to rumble we were at Bury Court Barn near Farnham. Traffic was kind.
So here is a small selection of my images from their day.
With Julia…the more the merrier
Despite her best attempts Julia did NOT have “Heroes” style mind bending powers
Old Skool!
Phwoah!
Just before they hid her in a box :)
Phwoah 2 – The Return
We weren’t allowed to shoot much in the church…but we did get some!
Donde esta el Pebbles?
The hands on the bus go wave, wave, wave
Watching too many episodes of The Sopranos makes you suspicious of everyone
The forecast, despite being inside, was decidedly dodgy
Nooooo……
….and there we have the culprit
A few lovely details from their setup
Monogrammed cake…nice
High fives mean you don’t need a map!
I tried to tell her he already had 5 other ladies numbers but would she listen?
Druh-matic
First dances are getting more brutal by the year
Jon quickly learned his arms weren’t built like Linda Blair’s head

Yes…its been exceedingly quiet the last week or so. Not that I haven’t had 3 weddings but rather we were away in between. A family holiday near Weymouth. So now its catch up time. I have to exercise brevity for the next few weeks. With so many days out of the office with various things I find myself a bit further behind that I would like to be. I’m chomping on that elephant…one bite a time. But some things have to give. So, for Emily and James, here is a taster of their day. A little snippet to carry them through.
