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!

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!
