Bradfield College Wedding – Eleri and Richard

Today was good for December, cool but no rain (not until the evening) and pretty much perfect for Eleri and Rich’s wedding in Sulham and Bradfield. The day started for me at E & R’s beautiful timbered cottage in Tilehurst before heading for the church.

Some favourites from the morning.

A new website

Well slightly earlier than planned I am pleased to announce our (almost) finished website – cleaner and simpler than the old flash-based site (most of which is still accessible here) and hopefully faster to load. I’m still tinkering away fixing things so please visit again soon. Please do let me know what you think! Good, bad or ugly? I don’t mind. Hit ‘Leave a comment’ down below. Thanks.

Louise and Neil – The Wedding!

Louise and Neil are a great couple. I photographed their engagement pictures a while ago and knew then that the wedding was going to be fun.

The day before featured a deluge of biblical proportions but I think it was a relief to all (me included) that the wedding day was cool, breezy and a beautiful soft light through a thin cloud cover – ideal for photography :)

Here’s a few favourites – hope you like them. The full gallery goes up when Louise and Neil get back from honeymoon. If you would like to receive notification of the gallery going up **CLICK HERE** and I will send you a swift email.

A couple of favourite pictures from the morning.

I love the lines in this image.

Showtime.

Louise and Neil – Engagement Photographs

Louise and Neil are going to get hitched at Aldermaston Manor House this summer so today we met there to shoot some pictures. One thing I love about our engagement photo sessions is that we have more time than we do on the wedding day. It’s nice to take a more leisurely approach to the photography and make some more interesting and unusual images. Here’s a few that and I liked and if you’re reading this L and A, the complete gallery will be up soon.

At one end of the gardens there is a terrific old, dilapidated greenhouse. The textures and the light inside were great – difficult to resist shooting a couple of images inside. Here’s my favourite greenhouse image. I don’t think we will be doing this on the day due to various frock related hazards.

A couple of images inside the Manor House. I have given these quite a distinctive look which I think suits the mood of the picture.

Pesky rabbits.

A couple of graphic-style images to finish with.

Thanks again for your time, Louise and Neil, see you at the wedding!

Becky and Mike's Wedding

Wasing Park, Aldermaston was the venue today for Becky and Mike’s nuptials. Wasing Park is a beautiful location with it’s own church, bar and reception venue.

Mike serves with the Royal Signals TA and had organised a Guard of Honour at the wedding which was a nice touch.

The bride and groom are sunning themselves in the Maldives at the moment and the full gallery will be posted on their return. Drop me a line if you would like to know when that is.

Here’s a few images that caught my eye.

Springtime – at last!

I do like an arty shoe shot.

Becky gets ready to roll.

L. Mike gets his uniform on. R. Essential wedding accessories include a top hat,shades and a mini-me.

I love bumping into my ex-brides and grooms at weddings. Here’s Andrea and Paul whose wedding I shot almost two years ago.

A couple of favourite images from the day.

It was so nice to be able to shoot in the beautiful spring sunshine, lovely after the last few months we’ve had.

Thanks Mike and Becky, I had a great time – see you when you get back!

Becky and Mike

So here is some images from the engagement shoot I did for Mike and Becky on Saturday. As mentioned, it was a freezing cold morning but somehow it didn’t matter a bit. It was lovely to capture some images before the wedding in March. Usually life gets so busy about a month or so before the wedding and afterwards time tends to speed up and engagement portrait session is really nice idea, if only as a record of that time when you were boyfriend and girlfriend :)

Mike and Becky were great together. In some of my favourite images here they look like they are in their own little world, despite the frost and the cold. I am looking forward to the wedding in March. I’ve had a word with the vicar and he’s going to organise 28 degrees of sunshine and a light breeze. Probably.

A few favourites from the session.

Thanks for your time this morning Becky and Mike, see you soon!

This morning

Parky. There’s a word you don’t hear much anymore. This morning was decidedly parky. Five below according to my cars thermometer.

Today I was at Wasing Park. The lovely Becky and Mike are getting married there in March and we met this morning to shoot some relaxed engagement pictures in and around the wedding venue. The picture below was what caught my eye as I pulled up. It’s the building they use for wedding receptions and apparently it’s a converted piggery. The former inmates have been rehoused and it’s been tidied up a bit. Isn’t the exterior beautiful? It looks like a Moorish palace or somewhere in Morocco. You wouldn’t believe I snapped it at 10am this morning in Aldermaston :)

The engagement pictures are coming soon!
