Yesterday we photographed Darren & Sheena on their pre-wedding shoot at the stunning Painshill Park in Cobham, Surrey. It was a scorching day, the hottest of the year so far!

This wedding venue is absolutely beautiful and an idyllic setting for their wedding later this year, we can’t wait!

We have been looking forward to photographing Darren & Sheena’s wedding since we met some eighteen months ago now! These two are a great couple and I really enjoyed walking around Painshill Park with them, uncovering some perfect spots for their photos and chatting about their forthcoming wedding day!

Sheena looked absolutely gorgeous (and you did too Darren of course!) she has the most amazing hair and I simply can’t wait to see her in her wedding dress!

Here are a few photos from their pre-wedding shoot.

On Saturday we photographed Rob and Caroline’s wedding day.
We had been looking forward to shooting their big day for a long time!

We started bridal prep at Toni and Guy in Farnham where Caroline and her bridesmaids were getting ready.
Each of the girls went to town with their hair and make up (provided by Benefits) and they all looked fantastic!
We then moved on to Caroline’s parent’s house where we finished off the bridal preparations. Caroline looked absolutely stunning in her Benjamin Roberts dress! One of my favourite designers!

We arrived at the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. George in Aldershot to await Rob arriving in an Audi R8 Spyder!
Working with Audi clearly has its perks and Rich (LJ) couldn’t help but drool all over the car (sorry!) as did most of their guests! The front of the Cathedral looked like an advert for Audi with the bridesmaids also arriving in style with their Audi Q7′s.

After a beautiful service Rob and Caroline sped off in the R8, a great sight for all their family and guests to see.

We all headed onto the amazing Loseley Park where we waited for Rob & Caroline to arrive. I know what you’re thinking… surely they got there first right? Audi R8 and all? And before you say it… no, they didn’t take the very scenic route, they actually swapped chariots and they arrived in a beautiful open top Horse drawn carriage, one of the nicest we have ever seen!
Rob & Caroline, definitely know how to travel! Just ask them… when they get back from their 5 week honeymoon!

We had a great time shooting lots of fun, informal shots with their close bridal party and enjoyed making use of the fabulous grounds at the beautiful Loseley Park.
To top it all off, the weather was absolutely fantastic!

Rob and Caroline also hired a videographer for their special day and Ioannis from Reelemotion did worked in a lovely relaxed unobtrusive approach which complimented our style really nicely.

We left Rob and Caroline to enjoy their wedding breakfast and party into the night with their friends and family.

Here’s a few from their special day!

Yesterday we were happy to provide wedding photography at Hedsor House for Linh & Keith.

We had been looking forward to photographing this great couple again, following their pre-wedding shoot earlier this month.

We started the day with the girls during bridal prep which was great fun. Linh looked incredible in her beautiful wedding dress & gorgeous long vale!

Hedsor House itself also looked spectacular, a stunning  backdrop for a beautiful wedding!

The ceremony room had a fantastic atmosphere, a lovely intimate room with background music provided by a string quartet on the balcony above.

Despite the uncertain weather, we were fortunate enough to be able to take full advantage of the beautiful grounds at Hedsor House, the rain held off throughout the day and the sun even broke through at times!

We thoroughly enjoyed making the most of this beautiful setting, capturing Linh & Keith together with their friends and family on their special day!

They enjoyed an amazing 8 course banquet, broken up with fantastic speeches & hilarious media show featuring photo memories from their past. It was clear to everyone fortunate enough to share this day with Linh & Keith, that they were brilliant together and very much in love!

We stayed with the couple long into the night in order to capture the special surprise they had organised for their guests, an incredible fireworks display set to music!

Here are a few of the photos we captured on their wedding at Hedsor House.

On Thursday we travelled to London to meet up with Linh and Keith for their pre wedding shoot at Canary Wharf, London ahead of their wedding at Hedsor House later this month.

Linh and Keith are a lovely couple and we got some fantastic shots of them together.

The location had some great photographic opportunities and allowed us to take advantage of some interesting backgrounds and textures.

We are really looking forward to Linh and Keith’s big day at the beautiful Hedsor House, its going to be amazing!

**Update** Yesterday we photographed Linh & Keith’s wedding at Hedsor House, click here to see some photos from their big day… it was every bit as amazing as we thought it would be! **

Yesterday we photographed Jo & James’ wedding at All Saints Church in Kenley, Surrey and their celebrations at the lovely Coulsdon Manor Hotel.

We arrived at Coulsdon Manor hotel to capture Jo and her girlies getting ready before whizzing onto All Saints Church to capture James and their guests before the ceremony.

All saints church is really beautiful inside and we all enjoyed a lovely service.

After that it was back to Coulsdon Manor Hotel for James and Jo’s reception where guests enjoyed lovely weather! This allowed us to capture the photo’s in the beautiful garden area until a whopping great big cloud and downpour ensured we completed our shots indoors!

We made use of the hotels lovely staircase and got some great fun shots of their close bridal party in the atrium.

We really enjoyed photographing James and Jo’s wedding and after their first dance we left them to party into the night!

Our congratulations to them both, we wish them all the best in their future together.
