The weather was incredibly hot, and made the slow punt to Grantchester a wonderful experience for their guests. There was a lot of people enjoying the riverbank with many barbecues and parties going on!

Jennifer had spent many hours working on the table decorations, menus and styling. I think she did an amazing job, clearly someone who is gifted with both an academic and creative mind.

Brenda and Chris added some great touches to the day, including an Ice Cream bicycle that the children (both large and small) really enjoyed.

Again, the weather was excellent, as it has been for much of the summer. The warm evening light being perfect for a stroll along the drive to Maunsel House for photographing some relaxed portraits.

Pauline and Liam were a wonderful couple, friendly, warm and not afraid to show the intense love that they share for each other.
Their friends were a pleasure to be around, particularly the two young guys who have a passion for old film camera’s. I was treated to seeing such exotica as Blads, Bronies, Yashica’s and Leica’s, one of the fella’s admited his degree grant tends to get blown on ebay picking up these classic camera’s.

The guys married at Boughton Monchelsea Place, a wonderful venue with an incredible elevated view of Kent. Then after the ceremony they drove to Liam’s parents farm house in an Aston Martin DB6 for the garden reception.

The food looked amazing, which is no surprise as it was prepared by Liam who is a talented chef trained by the ‘Sweary Mary’ himself Mr Gordon Ramsey.

Here is a slideshow of 120 pictures from the day…be patient, I think it’s worth it….enjoy.

Sarah and Tom married at Theydon Garnon Church, then held their reception at the beautiful Gaynes Park in Epping.

The wedding was skillfully themed with a ‘Alice in Wonderland’ Tea Party look. Sarah is an Art Director, and used her graphic abilities to great effect. Infact, I seem to shoot an awful lot of weddings for couples who come from advertising and creative backgrounds.

I myself am a former Art Director before moving over to the other side of the camera, so I always enjoy photographing a wedding with an ad agency crowd.

The image is of Sarah getting ready at The Landmark Hotel London where the wedding service was held. The reception was at The Natural History Museum.

Lesley and Nick opted for an outside ceremony under the towers. It was touch and go with the weather, but clearly someone was on their side as things brightened up in time for the service. This kind of situation is very tough to photograph as the light values differ greatly between the shade under the tower, and the hard sunlight outside…but, I like a challenge!

After the open air service, and after all of the guests had congratulated the happy couple, we went up into the tower to use some stunning window light for a quick romantic portrait.

The day started at The Landmark hotel where Sarah and Martin married. Then after a cocktail drinks reception the guests took London buses to The Natural History Museum, while the happy couple had a little time to themselves traveling in a classic Rolls Royce.

Here is a slideshow of around 90 images…please feel free to leave a comment.

This is typical of how I work as a wedding photographer. Most of my coverage is natural documentary photography, but if requested I’m always happy to quickly produce a few funky portraits.
