We joined the lovely Kristina and Diogo on a blistering hot day in June at their local church and then on to Stanmore Golf Club for their evening reception. We loved their blue colour theme and finding the quiet shaded little woodland tucked in the middle of the golf course.

We joined Christina and Jeremy at the stunning (if a little dark) St. Dominic's Priory Church in Belsize park in November last year. Unfortunately the weather kept us inside most of the day although we did just about manage to get the confetti shot in between the showers. We captured from the start of the ceremony through until an hour after the first dance with the reception being held at the lovely Regents Park Marriott hotel. Here are some of our favourite shots from such a fun and intimate day. 

We joined Samantha and Sammie for their big day at South Farm wedding venue just outside Royston, Hertfordshire, on a cool but thankfully dry day in January. South Farm as always were amazing and truly accommodating to our photographer Chris and videographer Taurai. Our favourite part of the day was watching the guests become sous chefs and carve and serve their own roast beef joints (plus we got some beef too). Samantha and Sammie also booked the fantastic The Nameless Three wedding band for the evening party, we highly recommend these guys. 

We shared Cherry and Dimitrios' amazing wedding day at the gorgeous Mount Ephraim Gardens in Kent, on a cold but bright autumnal October day. We love weddings that fuse cultures and traditions and this one had it all. Cherry and Dimitrios were a delight to work with and braved the chill air to really explore and make the most of the fabulous gardens on offer at this venue.

We joined the lovely Haroon and Haleema as they continued their marriage celebrations at their post wedding banquet. We covered the groom and his family's preparations at their home before they hosted a delightful evening for their friends and family at the Redbridge Town Hall, Ilford. The evening was an extension of the wedding celebrations which took place the week before in Middlesborough.

Asia House in Marylebone and Regents park were the beautiful settings on a bright and sunny June day for Joe and Guisi's wedding. An intimate wedding ceremony followed by afternoon tea at their home made this day so personal and a joy to shoot for them. 

The first of our 2017 weddings where we were providing both photography and videography for the lovely Cigdem and Terrence at the Henry Moore Foundation and sculpture park in Hertfordshire. The sun was out, the drums were playing and the venue was a stunning backdrop to this beautiful humanist wedding ceremony. Chris our photographer even got to go back to visit his hometown of Hoddesdon for the reception at The Spotlight Theatre. The Henry Moore Foundation is a registered charity established for the promotion of the fine arts, in particular the works and sculptures of Henry Moore. The wedding barn is set among beautiful gardens with stunning pieces of art blending in with their natural surroundings, it was just a shame we didn't have longer to explore the grounds and get more photos there! 

The evening reception fused cultures with Turkish and Caribbean traditions, and with the Turkish Drum and shrill pipe providing the soundtrack the party carried on long into the night. Here are a few of the photos from this vibrant day. 

It’s been a while since we’ve updated our blog, due to a busy summer but wow what a summer it has been. We’ve covered sixty amazing weddings this year, ranging from the intimate to the downright extravagant. In this article series over the next few weeks I’m going to have a little look back at some of my favourite shots and scenes from some of my favourite venues from summer 2015. Hopefully some of these may even help you in your wedding planning.

So then my favourite shot of the year has to be the meadow shot at Merriscourt for Abby and Etienne’s wedding (See 3min 30 seconds in). With a nearly perfect Cotswold summer’s day drawing into the ‘golden hour’ we went out the back of the venue for a second photo shoot in Merriscourt’s wonderful meadow which overlooks stunning Oxfordshire countryside.  The shot itself was a simple walking shot, we couldn’t even see their faces, but the combination of the weather, the location and scenery and the light was absolutely perfect. Despite having only left the hustle and bustle of their party in the venue behind them only a couple of hundred metres away and few minutes ago it truly felt an intimate moment and like they were the only people there (plus our discreet camera, but we don’t count).

A close second for my favourite shot of the year was Martin and Tanyel’s golf guard of honour, for totally different reasons. In was impromptus and silly, plus I got to ride in a golf buggy whilst filming at Dyrham park Golf Course   J.
Back to Merriscourt, the venue was a wonderful setting for a wedding and even better location for a wedding video. The buildings and grounds were stunning in a very humble and charming way. It felt luxurious without being pompous. I was made to feel at home as well as the guests, and with three large interior areas for the wedding breakfast, ceremony and dancefloor, plus a courtyard, garden, meadow plus and also a bridal suite there were plenty of locations to both film and relax in.
