Rachel & Lee – Wedding Photography at The Basingstoke Country Hotel

Returning to the Basingstoke Country Hotel to photograph the wedding of Rachel and Lee brought back memories for Sally and me, as we were married here just over four years ago. We were recommended to the happy couple by a friend who had been an usher at another wedding that we photographed last year and it was great to see some familiar faces amongst the guests.

The weather was kind to us, providing one of the hottest days of the year so far, and everybody had a lot of fun, including the wedding photographers! Special mention has to go to Lewis for one of the funniest best man speeches we’ve heard, which had everyone in fits and gave us some great photo opportunities.

Here are a few shots from the day.

Rebecca & Danny – Pre-Wedding Photoshoot in Basingstoke

What a difference a day makes to the British weather! After enjoying warm sunshine at the previous days wedding, we met Rebecca and Danny at Eastrop Park in Basingstoke town centre late in the afternoon, after it had been raining most of the day. Unfortunately, the rain didn’t hold off for long, so we only managed a few pictures before having to run for shelter.

Rebecca and Danny’s wedding is next month at St Mary’s Church in Old Basing, with the reception at the Hampshire Court Hotel and we’ll be hoping for better luck with the weather on the big day. Here are a couple of the shots we managed to take before the heavens opened again.

Janine & Luke – Wedding Photography in Chandlers Ford

Janine and Luke were married on May 15th at St Boniface Church in Chandlers Ford and then had their reception at the Kings Court Masonic Centre. We saw a few spots of rain through the window while doing Janine’s bridal preparation shots, but it soon cleared up and the wedding and reception were bathed in sunshine.

After a lovely emotional ceremony and a few photos outside the church, the bride and groom were driven to the reception in a vintage Riley. The Kings Court Masonic Centre has very pretty gardens and a picturesque staircase inside, with a stained glass window at the top, making it ideal for wedding photography.

The whole day went according to plan and it was a pleasure to be there taking photos until just after the first dance, when we left the happy couple to enjoy the rest of the evening with their family and friends.

I hope you are having a great honeymoon guys and here are a few preview shots for you, with lots more to see when you get home.

Fran & Gary – Pre-Wedding Photoshoot at Virginia Water

Fran and Gary are getting married at Trinity Methodist Church in Basingstoke this coming Saturday. Earlier this month, we met at Virginia Water in Surrey to take a few photos and get to know each other better before the big day. This was a good example of the benefit of these sessions as, like many other people,  Gary wasn’t really looking forward to having his photo taken, but soon relaxed and I think he quite enjoyed it in the end.

This was the first time I’ve done a photoshoot at Virginia Water, but I’ll certainly be back as it’s a lovely location and we only walked around a small section of it. Here are a few of the photos we took.

Kelly & David – Engagement Photos at Shawford Down

Going away for a quick holiday before the wedding season really kicks off has got me a bit behind with my blog posts, so this one is from a few weeks ago. Kelly and David are getting married in August at St Peter’s Church in Winchester and we met a short drive away at Shawford Down for their engagement photo shoot. It’s amazing to think that this lovely, sunny afternoon back in April was warm enough for Kelly to wear a summer dress and here we are, in the middle of May, scraping frost off the car in the mornings again!

Anyway, here are a few of Kelly and David’s engagement photos and some more can be found on the Facebook page.
