Branca and Jonathan

The stunning, fairytale like setting of St Audries Park, Somerset, was the perfect backdrop for Branca and Jon's wedding on Sunday. Both actors, their wedding day very much reflected their style and flair with Branca's beautiful lace gown, a horse drawn carriage and sumptuous food and entertainment.

Branca and Jon had both a civil ceremony and a church blessing, giving me lots of opportunities for shots of them saying their vows and guests' emotions. After the services, the evening sunshine was a lovely light to use for their family shots and a few of the two of them together enjoying a wander around the grounds and a game of croquet.

Here are a few shots from their day:

Amanda and Tim

Amanda and Tim chose the beautiful countryside setting of Kingscote Barn in the Cotswolds, for their Autumn wedding. Amanda and her friends had spent Friday night having a girly evening in a nearby cottage, but were still up early to have their hair and make up done and some photographs of them getting ready.

Tim, the boys and I braved the rain to take some shots outside and then we gladly retreated in to the barn while the guests arrived. Even though the rain didn't really let up all day, we got some really lovely shots outside and I know Amanda, Tim and their guests thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Here are a few of my favourite shots:

Finella and Henry

Despite a grey and wet Autumn day, I had a great time photographing Finella and Harry this afternoon in the garden of their family home in Winford.

Lifestyle portraiture is all about using whatever backgrounds might be available and seeing things in a different way - today for example we shot everywhere from the lawn to the horse box!

Finella and Henry were great to photograph - here are a few shots from the session:

Ann and Stephen

On Sunday, I photographed Ann and Stephen's wedding, my second Chinese wedding of the year. Chinese weddings are wonderful because they are so colourful and, for foodies like myself, the meal, in particular, is spectacular!

Ann and Stephen have asked to keep their images private. If you are a wedding guest, friend or relative and would like to have a look at their images, please use their password to gain access to their gallery on the 'recent weddings' page.

Sarah and Matthew

Sarah, Matthew and I spent a lovely afternoon at the kendleshire Golf and Country Club, enjoying the late summer sunshine, back in September. The sun was shining again for their wedding on Saturday and it was a perfect day to enjoy the lovely grounds and, for me, my first ride on a golf buggy!

After an early start to take some photographs of Matt on the golf course (Matt making sure I recorded his swing at its best!) I went on to Sarah's parents house for some getting ready shots. The wedding itself was intimate and romantic and everyone could tell what a great couple Sarah and Matt are.

Afterwards, we took most of their photographs on the grounds of the course and the Autumn leaves and colours provided a stunning backdrop. Here are a few pictures from their day:

Svetlana and Harry

Lyme Regis is a very special place for Harry and Svetlana as Harry has a lot of memories playing on the beach as a child and his parents still live there. They chose to have a ceremony in the beautiful church overlooking the bay and their reception at the Alexandra Hotel up on the seafront.

We decided to take most of the pictures on the seafront and include a number of different coloured backgrounds tp give their album a seaside feel.

A great couple to photograph, here are some of Sveta and Harry's pictures:
