From Vicki and Simon’s wedding at St. Mary’s Wargrave and Old Luxters Barn a few weeks ago – here’s an online slideshow (with music) that I made for them.
A couple of detail shots from the marquee tables.
Caroline still working hard, about an hour and a half before the ceremony. This is the table plan she is putting together.
Bridesmaid Lara (and helper) drew all the beautiful table name signs.
At one hour to go, Caroline finally gets herself ready!
The little church at Hamerton is a short distance away from the house.
Adam the groom. A short shower of rain just before the ceremony didn’t do anything to dampen anyone’s spirits.
Jeep.
Caroline ready for the walk down the aisle.
The church dates back to the 13th Century. Mary the vicar conducted a lovely service.
Adam seals the deal.
I love that period immediately after the ceremony where everyone is congratulating the bride and groom and milling around in the churchyard – great to photograph.
Everyone walked back to the house in the sunshine.
Priorities, priorities – Adam goes for the well deserved beer.
The beautiful bride.
And finally a couple of images from the speeches.
Thanks again, Caroline and Adam! The complete gallery will be coming soon.

Great photographs as always – love the vintage detail shots.
Laura and Ed were married today at St. Josephs in Chalfont St. Peter and held their wedding reception at beautiful Stoke Park in nearby Stoke Poges. Stoke Park is one of my favourite wedding venues, I have photographed there many times over the years and it’s always lovely to return – there’s always more interesting angles and corners of the grounds to photograph. Laura and Ed were great to work with on the day. Their families were lovely too – made me feel very welcome and Laura’s mum particularly was brilliant, helping organise the group photography of friends and family. Laura and Ed are sunning themselves in Italy at the moment and their complete gallery will be uploaded when they return. If you would like to see the gallery of all the wedding photographs **CLICK HERE** and I’ll send you an email.
In the meantime here’s a few pictures that caught my eye.
First, a photo of my house as I left home :) …kidding…it is of course the beautiful wedding venue of Stoke Park.
The wedding bus, a great way of shipping the guests around.
A few favourites from the morning.
I love the hands in this photograph. All five of them.
Laura and bridesmaid Natalie.

Mr. and Mrs. L. and their baby girl :)
Laura and her dad on their way down the fabulous stairs at Stoke Park. I love the lighting in this photograph.
The wedding bus waits outside the entrance to Stoke Park.
Meanwhile at the church, a relaxed and dapper looking Ed waits for the bride.
Some ceremony favourites from St. Josephs in Chalfont St. Peter.
A shot in the rear view mirror of the wedding Rolls.
The brand new Mr. and Mrs!
I am proud to say we held up a phalanx of golfers for this photograph. Well worth it in my view.
The media scrum at the drinks reception.
The lay-deeez!
And here are some more reception images that I liked.
Napkin shenanigans. I think it’s meant to be a chicken. Or perhaps a rabbit.
Speeding puddings. Stand well clear.
Is this a new dance craze? Hope not.
I hope Italy is brilliant Ed and Laura, have a great time and see you when you get back.

I am seriously considering adding this text to my website :) “Good weather guaranteed for your wedding if you book me!”
I’ve just been checking and it’s over two years since I had a rainy day wedding. I am pleased to say today was no exception for Vicki and Simon and it was more sunshine than showers and it really only rained when everyone was safely inside Old Luxters Barn for the wedding meal. I’ve know Simon for a while as we have worked together a few times. Simon is an ace video director and owner of Sugarsnap Video and produces some really great work.
S & V have been together a while and have three beautiful daughters who of course were very excited to be bridesmaids today. Check out the fantastic wedding stationery -
Vicki retreated to her parents house for the preparations in the morning. I love photographing this part of the day, I am of the firm belief a wedding is not just a few hours in the afternoon. The prelude to the ceremony is very important and it’s great to give the bride and groom a glimpse of each others morning. Here’s a few favourites from the getting ready part of the day.
I love this series of images :)
The wedding ceremony was at St. Mary’s Church in Wargrave. Here’s Simon and best man Andy.
Ambush :)
Old Luxters Barn near Henley on Thames is a lovely wedding reception venue, very rural and with some lovely spots for wedding photography.
As usual, we took a few minutes away from the guests for some bride and groom photography.
Simon and Vicki’s daughters. Butter wouldn’t melt eh?
…and finally some photos from the wedding reception.
Into the meal!
A detail from the errific wedding cake.

Thanks again for being so easy to work with, Simon and Vicki. Hope you enjoy Sorrento!

Today I travelled to Weston Manor Hotel, north of Oxford for Lucy and Kierton’s wedding day. We were all dodging the raindrops, waiting for the weather to make up it’s mind. In the end, we had showers during the ceremony but I am pleased to say the rain stopped and the sun came out as the happy couple emerged. Lucy and Kierton had exclusive use of Weston Manor that day and it was a pleasure to photograph in and around the grounds. The gardens are lovely and my only regret is running out of time as the meal started :)
Lucy and Kierton are off on honeymoon at the moment but here are a few favourites from their wedding day. If you were at the wedding and would like to know when the complete gallery of images is uploaded *CLICK HERE* and I will let you know. In the meantime here are a few favourites from the day.
Weston Manor – the venue for today’s wedding.
From the preparations in the morning, here’s a couple of images that caught my eye.
I was photographing the bridesmaids from across the room and glanced down to see Lucy’s Mum revising her wedding reading.
…meanwhile in room upstairs.
The boys.
The beautiful bride.
