Gemma & Stuart in the Sun!

Gemma & Stuart were married recently on what was one of our hottest days of the year. I was helped again by my good friend Sara and we had a smashing day indeed.

Some of my favourites from the day. The amazing venue:

Thanks for trusting me on that last shot guys, and allowing me to pull you out of dinner for those 10 minutes! You rock!!

Catherine and David, Military Style

Following my retro theme from last week, here are some images form Catherine and David's recent wedding at Minley Manor. The searing heat and amazing venue set the scene for my first military wedding, and i was helped again by my good friend and fellow-ess photographer, Sarah Vivienne.

You can see just how awesome the venue is, especially is such great weather:

The morning was another first for me, as I got to join in with some clay pigeon shooting! 4 clays out of 6 shots the first time i ever fired a shotgun - i was a happy bunny (with a sore shoulder!):

The guard were on good form:

and the girls were delightful:

Piping in the arrival:

The Guard doing what the Guard do:


A rare appearance - me running to get ahead! (Thanks Sarah!)


The happy couple:






He so coool:

Some fun in the candlelight:

Finally, something different for the Ceremonial Sword - the style inspired by the awesome Jerry Ghionis:

All in all, a hot, sunny, fantastic day!

Emma & Chris, with a twist ...

I am going to do something slightly different with the post for Emma and Chris' wedding, and go a little "retro" with the post-processing - hope you like it. Comments welcome!

So, Emma and Chris were married at Bury Court Barn on a day that started with rain, but gave us some nice sunny spells right around the time of the "outsidey-bits", which was fantastic!

This was actually the bridesmaid's bouquet - not that i didn't LOVE the official bouquet, you understand, i just preferred the "roundness" of this one for the blog:


Emma, making final preps:


Nice shoes:


There was music at the ceremony:








A brilliantly executed sexy kiss:


Lovely girls:





The lucky man, being very lucky:


Only married two minutes, and already they're already looking elsewhere:


The boys:





...and this is my absolute favourite from the day:


Well, there we go - I hope you liked the retro feel. It's a first for me, and a nice little change I think. Please leave some comments and let me know what you think!

Finally, just a quick pic of my assistant for the day, Becky, who is always a great help!


Emma & Chris, see you soon guys ...
