Elisabeth & Dave’s Wedding at Abbey House in Malmesbury, Wiltshire

Stephane — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 13:54:08 +0000

Congratulations to Elisabeth & Dave’s wedding. The whole day took place at Abbey House, Market Cross in Malmesbury, Wiltshire – well known to most as the home of the ‘Naked Gardeners’. To avoid miss interpretation let me make it straight away clear that everyone at Elisabeth & Dave’s wedding was appropriately dressed. Even Ian – the naked gardener – was wearing some solid boots and his wife Barbara looked very nice in her ‘pixie’ outfit to. Elisabeth & Dave have chosen a wonderful wedding venue and the gardens looked fantastic. A great day for all of them. We wish both a wonderful future together.

Marcelle & Simon, The Walled Garden at Cowdray, Midhurst, West Sussex

Congratulations to Marcelle & Simon’s Wedding. Both have chosen a fantastic wedding venue, the Walled Garden at Cowdray Castle in Midhust, West Sussex. The service was in the beautiful church St Margaret’s in Fernhurst and after that they flew with a big white Jaguar to Cowdray. The Walled Garden is a beautiful place and has enough opportunity to spend a whole day taking pictures (flowers and pretty brides that is). And then there is Cowdray castle next door which has endless to offer as well. I think Marcelle & Simon and all the family and friends had a great day. We wish Marcelle & Simon all the best for their future.

Nicola & Leigh’s Wedding at Warblington Church Emsworth and the New Place Southampton, Hampshire

Congratulations to Nicola & Leigh’s Wedding. The ceremony was at Warblington Church in Emsworth and the reception at the New Place Southampton, Hampshire. Everyone was holding their breath as it was sooo cold… ahh.. and because of the beautiful bride of course. I bet the wedding was the most exciting Christmas pressie for Nicola & Leigh and we all wish them a wonderful future ahead.

Well, it’s the 23rd of December, of course it’s freezing cold!

Cathryn & Ben’s Wedding at The Barn at Bury Court, Bentley, Surrey

Stephane — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 13:10:00 +0000

That was close – Cath and Ben’s wedding venue nearly drowned in the snow (or better the street leading to it). Fortunately, over night most of the snow cleared up and everyone was able to join Cath and Ben’s fabulous wedding celebration at The Barn at Bury Court near Farnham. There were so many lovely moments during the day and it was a joy to be photographing the wedding especially the beautiful couple Cath and Ben. We wish both a wonderful and happy future.

Penny & Ben’s Wedding at Beaulieu Abbey Church, New Forest, Hampshire

Stephane — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 18:18:16 +0000

Congratulations to Penny & Ben’s wedding at the Beaulieu Abbey Church in the New Forest in Hampshire. I guess most people know the New Forest and at Autumn time this place is even prettier. Now, the wedding obviously didn’t take place between the trees in the Forest but in the Abbey Church. Nonetheless, the Autumn feeling was all around. Winter (or in this case late Autumn) weddings are always a bit of a challenge for us photographers as most of the celebration happens during darkness. Anyway, Penny and Ben had a great day with lots of fun in and outside (in the light and in the dark). We wish them all the best for their future.

Pippa & Tammi, Civil Partnership, The Tithe Barn, Hampshire

Stephane — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 18:46:55 +0000

Congratulations to Pippa & Tammi who made their dream come true. What a great day, Pippa & Tammi celebrated their civil partnership together with families, friends and the rainbow boys in The Tithe Barn in Hampshire. There was lots of fun during the day but also some very emotional moments. I felt very privileged to be photographing Pippa & Tammi’s civil partnership and I hope I managed to capture the spirit of the day. We wish Pippa & Tammi all the best for their future.

Susie & Matt’s Wedding, Woodlands Park Hotel, Cobham, Surrey

Stephane — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:31:58 +0000

Congratulations to Susie & Matt’s wedding. The Woodlands Park Hotel near Cobham in Surrey is a great venue for weddings. Susie had a big suite to get prepared which was good as family and friends were constantly coming and going. The whole day was well prepared and organised (by Susie using plenty of spreadsheets as Matt dared to mention during his speech!) and family and guests enjoyed their day. We wish Susie & Matt and of course little Lily all the best for their future.

Samantha & Paul, Wedding, The Tithe Barn, Hampshire

Stephane — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:53:05 +0000

Congratulations to Samantha & Paul’s Wedding. I don’t mind it too much when the weather isn’t exactly what my couple had wished for. And Sam & Paul’s wedding at The Tithe Barn in Hampshire was again proof that the weather isn’t all and that with the right people the day can be great fun (and it always should be not matter what). In fact, it can create an atmosphere which can be quite intriguing and result in very different type of pictures. In terms of fun and excitement on the day there was nothing to stop family and guests to have a great time. We wish Sam & Paul all the best for their future.

No respect for the photographer…

… well, just like their dads!

Donna & Phil Wedding, The Tithe Barn, Hampshire

Stephane — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:41:00 +0000

Congratulations to Donna & Phil’s wedding. Pink was the colour theme of the day. The bridesmaids, the decoration, the chocolates and even the wall lights in the Tithe Barn were pink. However, Donna the bride came in a bright shiny white dress and Phil had a bright shiny smile on his face. Only the best men suffered from darkish clouds around their heads while preparing their speeches (see pictures below). But it turned out to be great speeches nonetheless. All the best to Donna & Phil for their future.

Gemma & Richard Wedding at The Tithe Barn, Hampshire

Stephane — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 22:11:35 +0000

This time I’m a bit late with writing my blog entry for Gemma & Richard’s wedding at The Tithe Barn in Hampshire. Last year I covered Richard’s sister wedding and it was really nice to meet quite a number of people again – it makes it feel a bit like being part of the family. I like it when the wedding party enjoys itself and in this case it was no exception – everyone had a great time. We wish Gemma & Richard all the best for their future. And here are a few of their wedding images (it’s always sooo difficult to make a selection on not to put dozens on the blog).
