At the weekend we were back at the beautiful Rivervale Barn to photograph James and Angela’s wedding day!

We have been looking forward to being apart of their wedding day for some time now, they booked us over 18 months ago!

We started the morning at Warbrook House for bridal preparations, where Angela, her Mum and bridesmaids were busy getting ready for the special day.

Onwards to Rivervale Barn to capture the finishing touches and ready for their ceremony and celebrations!

Angela looked fantastic and was beaming throughout the ceremony which was lovely to see.

James and Angela had created some lovely personal touches for their wedding day, a beautiful tree table plan , a caricaturist, a flip flop and shawl area as well as a steel band to name but a few!

The weather held out and we were able to make use of the fabulous grounds Rivervale Barn has to offer, some of the flowers at the moment in the gardens are stunning, so bright and colourful.

We had such a lovely day at James and Angela’s wedding and wish them all the best in their future together.

Yesterday we met up with Bryan and Sophie at Virginia Water for their pre-wedding shoot.

The weather was amazing and we really enjoyed walking around this beautiful location with Bryan and Sophie.
Kirsty, Sophie’s chief Bridesmaid, also came along and it was great to meet with her too. They have a great friend there!

Bryan & Sophie are a lovely down to earth couple and we captured some lovely shots of them around Virginia Water!
We’re really looking forward to their wedding day in June… not long now!

Yesterday we were at the spectacular wedding venue Wotton House, to photograph the wedding of Lee & Danielle.

We started off the day capturing both Lee & Danielle during their preparations, Danielle looked absolutely stunning in her beautiful wedding dress. There were plenty of sparkles, with the wedding having a Swarovski theme, Danielle’s dress matched the theme perfectly!

They had organised for the already gorgeous Wotton House ceremony room to be dressed with candles, flowers, a white carpet runway & pink sash chair covers plus some amazing pink uplights which both matched their colour theme perfectly and set the room off beautifully!
I think everyone had the same reaction when they entered the room before the ceremony… wow!

For the time of year, the weather was absolutely great, we were thrilled for the couple as this meant that they could make use of many of the stunning wedding photography opportunities at Wotton House. We had a great time capturing some beautiful wedding photos at Wotton House and Lee & Danielle were fantastic to work with. They were such fun to be around, as were their family & friends!

During the evening, just prior to first dance, Lee & Danielle asked for some additional shots to take advantage of the beautifully lit Roman temple. We were more than happy to take advantage of this stunning setting & loved the fact Lee & Danielle are as enthusiastic about their photos as we are!

We wish them both a fantastic honeymoon (a surprise destination for Danielle!) and happy future together!

Here is a sneak peak at some of the wedding photos we captured on their special day!

Yesterday we arrived at Frimley Hall hotel to capture Anne-Marie with her bridesmaids getting ready!

Frimley Hall’s bridal suite is a very spacious room, fantastic for capturing bridal preparations.

We then headed onto The Assumption of Our Lady Church in Englefield Green which was a beautiful church with a lovely vicar who was extremely accommodating towards us and gave a fantastic ceremony for Stuart and Anne-Marie.

The date of this wedding held a special significance for Stuart & Anne-Marie, who met each other eleven years ago to the day!

We then headed back to Frimley Hall to photograph their wedding reception and we were able to get some lovely shots.

Frimley Hall is a great wedding venue for photography as there are so many opportunities both indoors and out!

We wish Anne-Marie and Stuart all the best for their future together.
They are off to Cuba for their honeymoon which sounds amazing!

Here’s a few images from their special day!

Yesterday we started our day at Darren & Sheena’s house for the bridal preparations. Sheena looked fantastic in her Benjamin Robert’s dress with her gorgeous hair styled to the side. Benjamin Robert’s is one of my favourite designers too!

We then headed on to the church and arrived in Tolworth where Darren was eagerly awaiting his bride to arrive!

After a beautiful ceremony we headed onto Painshill Park where we celebrated their reception. What a gorgeous venue this is!
We had already been scoping the area with Darren & Sheena for their pre-wedding shoot last month and had found some fantastic spots to capture this lovely couple.

The weather was absolutely fantastic, much like it was for their pre-wedding shoot and we were so pleased that all their friends and family were able to enjoy Painshill’s grounds, soaking up some of the gorgeous sunshine while we captured some great shots!

The set up for the wedding breakfast in the marquee was nothing short of stunning! With over 300 guests the atmosphere was amazing! Darren’s emotional speech was so touching, there wasn’t a dry eye in the marquee!

A special surprise during the evening celebrations – two dancers who danced for a couple of songs and then Darren & Sheena graced the dance floor for their first dance, along with a few special moves to impress their guests! Hats off to you both!

Sheena & Darren were two of the nicest people we’ve had the pleasure of photographing, we were so thrilled when they choose us to photograph their wedding and thoroughly enjoyed photographing their day. We also had a great time working with Natalie and Luigi from Pozella Productions.

It was a perfect day for this lovely couple – here’s a few images from their special day!
