Earlier this month we had the pleasure to photograph Penny and Gordon’s wedding at the West Bridgford Registry Office and then at the Welbeck Banqueting Hall, West Bridgford. They are such a lovely couple, full of joy and laughter and full of love for each other. It was a very touching ceremony, even I had a tear in my eye! The first sequence of images I really love as Penny “just wanted to get to Gordon”. We wish you all the best for your future together.

Been so busy so I am way behind with updating my blog. Since the last wedding I have been assisting other photographers as well as photographing Jackie and Adrian’s wedding at West Bridgford Registry Office then at The Beeches Hotel around the corner.
Off to Yervant’s three day seminar down in London this week. Really looking forward to that.

A lovely couple who were a pleasure to photograph. Myself and Brian had a fabulous day at Helmswell Court in Lincolnshire for the second time in one weekend. The weather was fabulous, the day was mellow. The images say it all … the first with Graham looking into a mirror at the front of the ceremony room. His first sight of Alison as she walked with her dad down the aisle.
 

A couple of weeks ago I helped out Christina of Christina Savage Photography with a wedding in Plumtree, Nottingham. I started with the groomsmen at The Griffin, then went onto St. Mary the Virgin church and finally to The Carraigeway at Perkins Restaurant, all in Plumtree. Here are some of my favourite images of the day.

If you ever want a beautiful wedding dress, hand sewn and designed especially for you, Baroque Couture is the place to visit. An appointment with Elaina will make you feel special as she will give you her undivided attention. Her dresses are awesome. Yesterday we went to Draycott House to do a shoot for Baroque as they are having a combined article in Derbyshire Life. The light was amazing which showed off the red dress to it’s best … my favourite. Sarah had fun spinning around, catching the dress in the wind which was captured in this lovely image. Thought I would share it with you.

A week last Friday we photographed Fiona and Simon’s wedding at Hemswell Court in Lincolnshire. It was a day full of joy and laughter and fun. The evening was made memorable with the lighting of sky lanterns. Such a beautiful and emotional sight which should be experienced by everyone. As the lanterns filled with heat from the ignited fuel cell, they slowly rose up into the air. Fantastic! Have a great honeymoon you two. 

The rain came pouring down but this didn’t dampen their day. We started with the bridal preparations and then went on to St. Peter’s Church in Ruddington. It was a lovely ceremony. Lindsey and Peter are a great couple who despite all the rain drops kept smiling throughout the day. A big red double decker picked up the guests as well as myself and took us to the Park Plaza in Nottingham. I would like to thank Brian, my lovely husband, for second shooting with me and Lindsey and Peter for being great sports  especially with our attempts to get shots at the Nottingham Castle. The last shot says it all with Lindsey ‘Singing in the Rain’.

Last Friday I photographed Jackie and Peter’s wedding. It was a lovely affair, small,  personal and emotional. I started at the house with the bridal preparations then onto Mansfield Registry Office and finally to Santo’s Higham Farm. As we drove towards Higham Farm the black clouds were gathering in the distance and the wind whipped up and became pretty gusty. Hold onto your hats!!! Higham is located at the top of a hill overlooking the spectacular Amber Valley so I was anxious to get the shots before the inevitable downpour. Luckily I managed to get them.

Had a fantastic day helping Crash of Crash Taylor Photography to shoot Claire and Steve’s wedding at Woodborough Hall. They were a lovely couple who were up for almost anything. We had a fun time documenting the day. Here are some of my images.

I enjoy taking reportage, candid, natural shots at a wedding as I feel it captures the true emotions of the day. Shooting unobtrusively is the key. A few weeks ago Crash Taylor of Crash Taylor Photography asked me to help him out at a wedding firstly at St. Edward King & Martyr Church in Castle Donnington and then at the beautiful location of Thrumpton Hall. Here are a few of my favourites of the day.
