Wedding Photography Medbourne - Ellie and Andrew are married!

The weather didn't dampen Ellie and Andrew's spirits today as they were married at The Church of St Giles, in Medbourne, with many of the guests on Andrew's side travelling over from South Africa.

Ellie and Andrew faced a downpour of rain and confetti as they left the church to lead the procession to their reception in the village, and the weather wasn't too kind to us for most of the day, but we did manage to get outside with them for a wander back around the village after the wedding breakfast.

It was nice to see some familiar faces. Ellie was a guest at the church last year at Lucie and Chris' wedding, and Lucie was there today. Her father was also there as he kindly drove Ellie to the church in his lovely Rolls Royce. And Ellie and Andrew's vicar was Stephen Bishop, who also officiated at Marina and Stuart's wedding in February.

Here's a small sneak peak selection of initial images:























We left them a little while after their first dance, with everybody enjoying a reel or two to their fine ceilidh band, Knitters Jig. We were exhausted just watching!



Ellie's wedding dress came from Wedding Belles (Kibworth), make up was by Rochelle O'Brien, and hair by Melanie Garney.

Congratulations Ellie and Andrew!

Carol and James

The recent portrait session with Carol and James emphasised why it is so useful holding a pre wedding portrait session as Carol was just a tiny bit nervous beforehand. But once we'd got into the swing of the session - which we held at East Carlton Park - she turned out to be a natural!

They're having a lovely intimate wedding just before Christmas at Rushton Hall.

Here are a few images of 'the naturals':

Hollie and Ian

Ian proposed to Hollie at Rushton Hall, so what better location could they have chosen for their first pre wedding portrait session.

We met up there one gloriously sunny afternoon a few weeks ago, and these are some of my favourites:

Alexandra and Steve

Alexandra and Steve's wedding is in mid Setember. They're getting married in Kibworth and holding their reception at one of my favourite local restaurants, Boboli.

They were back up from down south a few weekends ago and we met up for a few portraits:

Lizzie and Jon

Lizzie and Jon's wedding is just over three weeks away. They get married in Elton and then have their reception at the fabulous Rockingham Castle.

I caught up with them a few weeks ago in Elton for a few portraits to 'break the ice'.

Here are a few of the images from our wander around the village:

Civil Partnership Photography in Kettering - Janet and Jo are married!

Today we had the pleaure of joining Janet and Jo as they celebrated their civil partnership at Kettering Park Hotel. They were surrounded by family and friends, some from as far afield as Australia, for their intimate ceremony, with many more friends joining them in the evening to party!!

It was a lovely day, with fabulous weather, and I don't think they stopped smiling the whole time!

Many congratulations to you both. Here's a little taster until we can catch up with you and go through all of the images with you:



















And we just loved their cake topper...

Katie and Aird - take two!

Katie and Aird also get married in late July, in fact, just a couple of days after Sadrina and Mike.

They're getting married a bit nearer to home, at Hothorpe Hall, and I met up with them last month for a second portrait session so that we've really broken the ice before their big day.

Here are a few favourites:

Sadrina and Mike

Here's the first of a few pre wedding portrait sessions that need blogging, Sadrina and Mike.

They're getting married down in Essex in late July and I caught up with them early in April, late one sunny afternoon (remember those days?), on the shores of Rutland Water.

Here are a few favourites:
