Rebecca and Daniel

Rebecca and Daniel are busy planning their summer wedding and I met up with them this morning to break the ice with some portraits and for a catch up on how their plans are coming along.

Without giving the game away they have some fantastic plans and ideas for their big day, and it sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. I'll say no more, but watch out for the blog post in the summer...

This morning we wandered in the woodland near their home, with some lovely textures and colours in the woods and from an old church as a backdrop.

Here's a small selection of images:













I'll catch up with you both soon, and do my homework in the meantime!

Marina and Stuart

It's now less than a three weeks to Marina and Stuart's wedding.

They have a late afternoon wedding in Ashley, Northants, with their reception following at The Barn in Ashley.

I caught up with them on a cold, late afternoon a couple of days ago for a few portraits:











We're looking forward to seeing you very soon!

Alex and Nick

Alex and Nick are marrying in July at the impressive Rockingham Castle, one of several weddings we've got there this year.

I met up with them this morning for a 'break the ice' portrait session in Leicester, where we had a little wander down alongside the canals and around the Castle Gardens.

Here's a small selection of images:















A great couple in a great location, and I'm looking forward to their wedding already!

Bridal shoot at Hampton by Hilton

Earlier in the week I had another bridal shoot, this time at the Hampton by Hilton Hotel in Corby.

Inside the hotel has some great contemporary furniture and this gave the opportunity for a bit of fun with our 'bride and groom', as they were photographed in a variety of environments around the hotel. They were photographed against modern wall art, in the corridors, in a bedroom, on the tables (!), under a bulkhead light in the stairwell, and even in the lift!!

So, for any couples getting married at the hotel there's a real opportunity to get some amazing pictures of you on your big day.

Here's a small selection of images:













Big thanks to Jaime for arranging - and for being my lighting assistant (!) - and to models Gemma and Richie.

Bridal shoot at Ladywood

Ladywood is a former hunting lodge near Oakham in Rutland and, with it's extensive grounds and elegant interior, is a superb location for exclusive weddings and events.

Hannah, of Hand Maid Wedding and Events, provides a bespoke wedding and events planning service and looks after all of the weddings at Ladywood.

Yesterday we all battled through the snowly lanes as I met up with Hannah, Carole and Debbie from Wedding Belles (Kibworth) - who provided the gorgeous wedding gowns - and Adele and Ed for a bridal shoot.

Adele modelled two lovely wedding gowns, the first an 'Ellis Bridals' gown and the second the stunning 'Rose' by 'Maureen Myring Kesterton'. Ed's outfit was provided by Christopher Scotney, Leicester.

Here are a few favourites:

Wedding photography Geddington and Rushton Hall - Emma and David are married!

Family and friends braved the snowy conditions today to join Emma and David as they were married at St Mary Magdalene Church, Geddington, with their reception following at Rushton Hall.

To say that the weather was changeable is probably a bit of an understatement. One minute the church looked an absolute picture bathed in bright sunshine, the next minute the snow was falling and it all looked a little bit like winter!

At Rushton Hall we managed to tempt Emma and David outside for some lovely images in the snowy surroundings, asking them to think of thier lovely warm honeymoon destination!

Here's a sneak peak of some early favourites, starting with the contrast in the weather at the church:





















And we just loved the figures on top of their wedding cake:



Congratulations Emma and David!

Rozz and Iain's wedding in R Magazine

Rozz and Iain's fun filled wedding last September is featured in the January edition of R Magazine, the Special Bridal Edition.



A small copy of the article is below, and you can see a readable version of it on pages 34-35 of the online edition of the magazine here, selecting the 'Eversion of R Magazine - January 2010'.



Their wedding was one of our favourites last year and, I think you can tell from the images in the article, Rozz and Iain had a lot of fun on their big day!

Thanks for letting us be part of your special day Rozz and Iain, and many thanks for your kind words.

Wedding Photography Brigstock - Lisa and Paul are married!

Today was a lovely start to the new year as Lisa and Paul were married at St Andrew's Church, Brigstock, with a fabulous reception at Kettering Park Hotel.

It was a crisp, frosty morning, with a little flurry of 'real' snow immediately after their wedding, and some less real snow on arrival at Kettering Park!

Lisa and Paul will soon be enjoying their honeymoon somewhere a little warmer, but we hope that they get to see this 'sneak peak' of a few early favourites first, starting with Lisa's shoes (!):











You can just see a few flakes of snow in this image of page boy Dylan:















Many congratulations Mr and Mrs Schofield!
