Wedding Photography Kettering - Hannah and Rodney are married!

It seems like only yesterday when we met up with Hannah and Rodney down in Windsor for a pre-wedding portrait session, and today they had a lovely, joyful wedding ceremony at the Salvation Army Hall in Kettering with their reception following at the Kettering Park Hotel and Spa.

And they're the first bride and groom that we've photographed walking back down the aisle to a Coldplay song!

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Kingston! Here are a few early favourites:

More old friends

Just before Christmas I went to help fellow photographer and friend Sarah Vivienne at the wedding of Craig and Debbie at Whittelbury Hall in Northamptonshire.

Not having worked at Whittlebury Hall before I had no idea that the regular MC for a number of their weddings is none other than Lincoln, a fantastic pianist who, several (cough) years ago provided the entertainment for my 120th birthday celebrations. Actually, it was my 40th and I had a joint celebration with a couple of other friends who were 40 in the same year. I almost didn't recognise him as he seems to have got younger, but it has been a few (cough) years...

The man himself, in action:



And a couple of Craig and Debbie, firstly with their lovely daughter, Millie, and then during their first dance:

Pure Weddings magazine - Trash The Dress

The autumn edition of Pure Weddings magazine should be hitting the shelves soon, and it features a two page spread with my images from a Trash the Dress (TTD as it's know) session.

Trash the Dress gives the bride (and groom if he wants to get involved) the opportunity to get dressed up again, have a fun shoot, and not be too precious about the dress. It's not really about destroying the dress, it's more of a non-traditional and artistic way of having a fun time and getting some great fashion inspired images. Honest! Otherwise, what happens to the dress? It gets put away safely in a storage box and may never see the light of day again.

All of our brides have the opportunity of a TTD session, and if they really don't want to get their wedding dress a little grubby they can always look for a cheap one on E-bay!

The images featured in Pure Weddings were from a shoot last October in Edinburgh where Nicky and Scott ended up in the sea. It was a bit cold to say the least, but all in the name of TTD.




Weather permitting (i.e. we don't want it to be too good!), we've got some more TTD sessions coming up shortly, one with the promise of a motorbike as a prop.

Watch out for the posts in the next week or so.
