Michelle & Steve – Summer Wedding at Tewinbury Farm

admin — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 12:30:27 +0000

Outdoor weddings are still something of a rarity in this country, which is a shame as they are fabulous weddings to shoot. Steve & Michelle had the perfect weather on their wedding day, in the idyllic location of Tewinbury Farm, set amidst the gorgeous Hertfordshire countryside. Tewinbury farm has these lovely converted barns and the one we were in had a beautiful gazebo in the garden, which hosted the wedding ceremony. Michelle put a lot of hard work choosing all the delightful little details that really made this a summer wedding to remember. It was a pleasure to be a part of the day and capture those moments.. Here are a selection of my favourite images:

Nick & Sarah’s Wedding – Ponsbourne Park Hotel

First wedding of the year and it was a delightful March day. The snow had all melted and we even had sunshine! It was a traditional wedding with the ceremony held at St Mary’s Church in Cheshunt and then on to Ponsbourne Park Hotel in the Hertfordshire countryside. It is a lovely venue, rich with opportunities for iconic photographs.

Here’s a small selection of my favourite images from the day:

Mark & Claire’s Winter Wedding – Tewin Bury Farm

It was a lovely December day with perfect sunshine for Mark & Claire’s wedding. Tewin Bury Farm Hotel is a great wedding venue and I enjoy shooting there. The staff are experts in wedding organisation and they always help the day run smoothly. The wedding ceremony & breakfast was held in the Stable, which is a lovely 17th century red brick building with oak beams and a cosy feel. Claire looked radiant on her wedding day and the day went beautifully.

It was a beautiful Hertfordshire October day for the wedding of Mark & Gemma. Autumn is a lovely time of year to get married and it certainly looked no better than at the lovely Ponsbourne Park hotel in Hertford. It was a real pleasure to be part of the day. Here are a few of my favourites:

Nick & Paula’s Wedding Photographs – Hanbury Manor

admin — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:56:15 +0000

Hanbury Manor is a lovely venue in Ware, Hertfordshire and it wasn’t long ago I was there shooting pre-wedding engagement portraits with Nick & Paula. They were married in the lovely summer house and it was such a treat to photograph their wedding in such a beautiful setting. Despite their best efforts I hate to say that Nick & Paula don’t have a future playing the steel drum music so the musician’s job’s are still safe. Paula walked down the aisle to the lovely harp playing of Ruth Holden and it gave the wedding the perfect ambience. The talented Mitch Hiller along with his soul/jazz band provided the music for the first dance and reception bringing the day to a soulful conclusion. It was hard to choose between them but here are a few of my favourite images from the wedding day.

Pre wedding photoshoot – Hanbury Manor, Hertfordshire

admin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:19:47 +0000

I was at the lovely Hanbury manor in Ware, Hertfordshire the other week doing a little pre wedding photoshoot with Nick & Paula. They are a lovely couple and I’m really looking forward to shooting their wedding in August, which isn’t far away now. Time does fly!

Pre wedding photoshoot’s can be a bit strange for couples I think as most people aren’t used to having their picture taken. It’s different from shooting a wedding as most of the time the bride & groom are mostly preoccupied with the day and that enables me to capture lovely reportage images that I love shooting. Nick & Paula were very relaxed though, even though it was one of those very hot days that us brit’s aren’t used to! (As i write this it’s raining outside with a nice bit of thunder & lightening! back to the normal british summer..) Pre wedding or engagement photoshoots are one of the things I always offer, although not every couple takes me up on it, but it’s a good opportunity to spend some time with the couple and go over the arrangements and also get a feel for what they are like in front of the camera.

Hanbury Manor in Ware is a lovely venue and it is where Nick & Paula are getting married and having their reception. I believe it’s called the summer house the part where they are having the wedding and it has a fantastic walled garden which is perfect for a wedding reception.

Here are a couple of images from the shoot:
