Anna and Stuart - take II

Anna and Stuart get married in a few weeks time at the fabulous Rockingham Castle, where we'll be photographing a few weddings this year.

We met up recently to talk through the details of their big day before heading over to the canal basin in Market Harborough for a few relaxed portraits.

Here's a compilation of some favourites:




This was the second portrait session with Anna and Stuart and, with weddings booked sufficiently far enough in advance, it's really recommended that we try and have two sessions. It really helps us get to know each other and get used to working together before the big day.

Anna and Stuart, we'll look forward to you big day soon!

Food photography Market Harborough and Rushden

Last summer I posted some images of the fabulous food at The Boot Room Eaterie in Leicester and The Three Swans Hotel in Market Harborough.

I went back to The Three Swans recently to photograph some of their new seasonal dishes and, believe me, they do taste as good as they look!



And a couple of weeks later I went over to The John White Golf Club in Rushden to photograph some dishes for Darren Garley, of Garley Catering Services. Again, some lovely dishes to photograph and the ones that I tasted were very good indeed!

Wedding Photography Elton and Rockingham Castle - Lizzie and Jon are married!

Lizzie and Jon had a lovely traditional wedding on Saturday at All Saints Church, Elton, with their reception following at the magnificent Rockingham Castle.

We weren't blessed with the best of weather, cloudy and windy for most of the day, but it did brighten up later on and there was some gorgeous warm light out in the gardens of Rockingham.

Here are a few early favourites:

























Congratulations Lizzie and Jon. We'll look forward to catching up with you in a few weeks.

Wedding Photography Rushton Hall - Amy and Paul are married!

Amy and Paul had a fabulous wedding at Rushton Hall today, surrounded by family and friends who had travelled from all over the world to join them. The bride and groom had come over from Syndey for the wedding and guests had travelled from Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain and, apparently, the Isle of Wight (!) to join them.

And it really was a lovely day; lots of emotion, 'real' speeches (no hint of internet wedding speech cliches), and lots of fun and laughter. Alan, the Toastmaster, rightly pointed out that you could tell that it was a fun wedding from all the laughter and noise during the wedding breakfast!

Here's a small 'sneak peak' selection of early favourites:

























When I first met Amy and Paul last year to discuss their wedding they promised to bring me a lovely bottle of Australian wine and they were true to their word as I was presented with a superb bottle of Shiraz. Thank you so much, Amy and Paul, it was an honour and great pleasure to be a part of your big day, and we'll think of you and your fabulous day when we pull the cork!
