Pre-Wedding Photos by Basingstoke Canal – Amanda & Nathan

It’s so nice to have some weddings to look forward to again after all the restrictions of the past two years. Amanda and Nathan are getting married at Highfield Park in June and we recently did a pre-wedding photoshoot by the Basingstoke Canal. We spent an hour or so walking beside the canal and around Odiham Common, having a chat and taking some photos.

I could see that Amanda and Nathan were much more relaxed in front of the camera by the end of the photoshoot than at the start, and that is very often the case. This is why I think that a pre-wedding or engagement photoshoot is worth doing. Here are a few of my favourite pre-wedding photos and I’m looking forward to the big day now in June.

Wedding Photographer at Tylney Hall

Wedding Photographer at Tylney Hall | Caroline & Carl

For many years as a Basingstoke wedding photographer, I’ve always enjoyed the opportunity to work at Tylney Hall. This beautiful venue has so much to offer from a wedding photography point of view. Tylney Hall is certainly one of my favourite wedding venues in the Basingstoke area.

Caroline and Carl are a lovely couple with a great sense of humour. We’d already had a fun time with their engagement photos at Virginia Water and I had been looking forward to their wedding at Tylney Hall. It would have been a pleasure to be their wedding photographer anywhere, but being at Tylney Hall and the way they planned the day made it extra special.

My day started in the morning with some outside shots of the venue, followed by bridal prep photos with Caroline and her bridesmaids. Carl and his best man had a few photos around the stunning gardens and I captured shots of the guests arriving and enjoying pre-wedding drinks. After some portraits of the bridal party it was time for the ceremony in the magnificent wood panelled Tylney Suite.

We made use of the stunning Italian Garden for some photos of the happy couple and their guests before everybody made their way to the Chestnut Suite for the reception. During the meal the guests had a surprise treat with a fantastic performance by the singing waiters from Encore Entertainment. After the meal, I got some more photos with Caroline and Carl in the early evening light, before they danced the night away to the sounds of a brilliant live band.

Here are just a few selections from a very enjoyable days work at Tylney Hall.

Wedding Photography in Ireland | Catriona & Neil

Wedding Photography in Ireland

Sally and I had the great pleasure of spending the weekend at the fabulous Station House Hotel, in Kilmessan, Ireland for the wedding of our good friends Catriona and Neil. Performing the job of wedding photographer for friends may bring a bit of added pressure, but it also has the advantage that we get to spend a lot more time with the happy couple during the whole day than we would as guests. This was a really beautiful wedding. The venue is a former railway station, set in 12 acres of manicured gardens and woodland. The outdoor ceremony was held in what was once a train turntable in a clearing in the woods, which makes a magical setting for a wedding. The weather was also perfect.

There are plenty of great photo opportunities in the grounds of the hotel, but we also had access to the nearby ruins of Bective Abbey for some shots of the bride and groom after they’d had a short ride in a Rolls Royce. Afterwards, it was back to the hotel for the wedding breakfast in another converted historic railway building. Being guests as well as wedding photographers, we joined more friends for the meal and partied into the early hours to the sounds of the excellent wedding band, The Vinyls.

Here are some highlights from a really special day.

Callum and Laura were married in St Leonard’s Church at Sherfield English, near Romsey, on the May bank holiday weekend. Afterwards, they took a ride in their vintage Rolls Royce to the grounds of a nearby school for some photos, before heading back to their reception in the brides parents garden. Here are a few highlights from the day.
