Liz & Jason – Wedding Photography at Highfield Park

Liz and Jason were married at Highfield Park on a chilly but mostly dry day in November. They prefer natural photographs, so this wedding was shot mostly in a documentary style, with just a few formal portraits. The day started at home with Liz getting ready along with her parents, bridesmaids and some friends. Everyone was very relaxed and looking forward to the day. Then it was off to Highfield park, where Jason was making his final preparations at the venue. A lovely ceremony was followed by drinks in the bar, while the fantastic entertainment that Liz and Jason had arranged for their guests was being prepared for the evening celebrations. A marquee at the back of the hotel was done out like a fair ground, with arcade games, coconut shy, hooplar, darts and shooting galleries. There was also candy floss, a photo booth and cocktail bar, with juggling waiters and all the tables were well stocked with bottled beer. Evening guests were greeted by a fire performer and a lady on stilts at the front of the hotel and entertainment was provided later by the excellent live band The Tzars.

It really was a wonderful day, a little bit different and great fun to be there to capture the photos. Here is a small selection of shots from the day.

Sarah & Mike – Wedding Photography in Kent

The last Saturday in October saw Sally and I back in Kent for another family wedding, this time it was the turn of our niece Sarah, who married Mike at The Manor Gate House in Dartford. After the ceremony and a few photos in the pretty, but very cold gardens, it was off to Gravesend for the reception and evening party. It was a lovely day, spent with family and everyone had a great time. Here are a few shots from the day.

Rosalie & Mark – Greek Orthodox Wedding in Zakynthos

I’ve known Rosalie and Mark as friends for a few years, so as soon as I heard that they were getting married, I hoped they would ask me to be their wedding photographer. When they did and told me that it was going to be on the Greek island of Zakynthos, I was obviously delighted!

Sally and I spent four days on the island, so had plenty of time to relax and enjoy time with friends as well working on the big day. With the weather being so hot, the wedding itself started as the sun was going down at the beautiful Church of the Panagia at Katastari, which was about half an hour by coach from the Mabely Grand Hotel where most of the guests were staying. The reception was back at the hotel and the celebrations continued through the night, with dancing until dawn.

This really was a wonderful wedding, everyone had a fantastic time and, even though I was on my feet with a camera from Saturday afternoon until almost breakfast time on Sunday, it didn’t feel like working at all. 🙂

Hannah & Chris – Wedding Photography at Cain Manor

Last Saturday, Sally and I were at Cain Manor, near the Hampshire and Surrey border, for the wedding of Hannah and Chris. This was my first wedding at Cain Manor and what a stunning venue it is! It turned out to be one of the best days of this wet British summer with the sun shining virtually all day. The weather was so good that, while Hannah and her bridesmaids were getting ready in the bridal suite,  Chris and his groomsmen cooled off with a dip in the outdoor pool before getting suited up and ready themselves. Many of the guests then arrived in a colourful vintage bus, which provided plenty of photo opportunities.

Overall, it was a wonderful day and the very happy couple and their guests had a great time. We also had a very enjoyable day as their wedding photographers and, after catching some shots of them in front of the beautiful sunset, we left Hannah and Chris to dance the night away.

Here are a few shots from the day.
