Sarah and Chris's Wedding

The first part of Sarah and Chris's Wedding. Just a small low key ceremony, with the main event planned for next year.

Sarah and Mathews's Wedding

Sarah and Mathew were married at the wonderful All saints Church in Westbury. It was a lovely day. Great weather, good looking Bride and Groom, friendly guests. It's all you need ! The reception was at the Cedar Hotel in Westbury. Always a pleasure.

Catching up time !

Ok I think I need to catch up on my blog. I'm going to make a start RIGHT NOW ! 

Lise and Jon's Wedding day

Well at Last !!  My own beautiful daughter Lise married handsome Jon at The Central Methodist Church in Chippenham. It was always my wish to take the pictures myself, as I didn't want any other photographer shooting the day in his or her own style. It just wouldn't be right !!  So I rushed around like a crazyman, from hairdressers salon to our home, and stopping off to get some pix of the groom and his best man getting "suited and booted". I got my own suit on with seconds to spare, and gorgeous daughter and proud father were driven to church perfectly and with style by my brother. This was the time for my talented photographer son to step in and photograph our arrival. The amazingly relaxed minister seemed quite happy for me to capture some special moments during the marriage, and I slipped to the back of the church ready to catch Lise and Jon walking down the isle. Just a few pix at Church, before we were off to the delightful Victorian Manor House - Grittleton House With plenty of time before the wedding breakfast began, we covered all the family groups, and yes I even popped up in the right place when required in some of the pictures. There was enough time for some more fun and relaxed images in the beautiful Italian gardens, and then the impressive staircase in the lovely old house. With the wedding breakfast over, and more friends arriving for the the evening party, my job was still not done yet ! Party pictures to take, and of course the Bride and groom's first dance. I kept shooting until the bitter end. A wonderful wedding day it was ! My gorgeous wife Ann and all our family and friends had a memorable day. Did I manage to combine being Father of the Bride and official wedding photographer ??????  Maybe -just !  Now I am looking forward to designing the most amazing storybook album for Lise and Jon. No pressure then ! !

Jemma and Steve's Wedding

Jemma and Steve were married at the beautiful St. Margaret's Church, in the pretty village of Yatton Keynell. Steve and some of the boys had been dodging the rain on the golf course, but when I caught up with them it stopped raining. Jemma and her bridesmaids were getting ready at the beautiful Beechfield House. The wedding took place at the pretty St. Margaret's Church at Yatton Keynell, and when Jemma arrived, she looked stunning ! After the ceremony had taken place, we shot a few pictures in the tiny churchyard, but with not to much space, we all made our way to the reception. Steve and Jemma made a small detour to stop at Biddestone for a few pix by the village pond, then we joined the guests at Beechfield House. The heavy rain ealier in the day meant that we couldn't use the lovely lawns in front of the house, but we found plenty of places in the garden to complete all our family groups. There was even enough time to make use of the unusual obelisk in the grounds for some more "arty" pictures. The evening party was full on. A great wedding day !

Jess and Tony's Wedding

Jess and Tony were married at the beautiful St.Mary the Virgin Church in the lovely Wiltshire village of Grittleton. Jess was getting ready at the OLd Stables in the grounds of Grittleton House and made the short trip to the church with her Mum by horse and carriage. There is not too much room in the church to take many pictures, but we got a few ! More pix outside then Guests were able to stroll across the road to the spectacular  Grittleton House        With plenty of great picture opportunities in the gardens, we were able to get all the shots we wanted, and still had time to shoot some more inside on the grand staircase. Jess looked amazing, and both she and Tony were having such a great day. Pictures at the speeches followed and then everyone danced the night away !
