Kim and Graham’s Wedding at the Guildhall, Windsor and The Leander Club, Henley on Thames 22nd May 2011 On a beautiful sunny morning in May I ventured over to Burnham to greet the bride at her home. What a beautiful setting to get ready for a wedding. The picturesque cottage was so tranquil, whilst upstairs the air was filled with the flutter of excited wedding talk and the giggles of laughter and jovial hysteria. The Guildhall was a truly spectacular venue and as Kim walked down the aisle the crowd silenced as she floated towards Graham with such grace in the Grand hall. The reception venue was superbly decorated its interior reflecting the truly English elegance that was present in Henley outside the panoramic windows of the Leander Club. A day filled with laughter and dignified English Charm. I felt so privileged to be invited to be part of this special day.

Jessica’s 18th Birthday Party 4th June 2011 Five excitable, Giggley girls burst into the studio with arms brimming with clothes shoes, makeup and props. Once that had got over the initial astoundment of walking into the studio and seeing it was such a big space they settled into having their photos taken. To get them laughing at one another we started with fun shots, before moving to more sophisticated photographs. I think it was such a special and heart felt gift from her best friends and it gave her party she will remember forever.

This father’s day why not give him something different. A family portrait sitting or a location lifestyle shoot is the perfect way of saying ‘you’re special’. This father’s day we have a great deal for your dad. A portrait sitting in the studio or on location and a free strut mounted 7″x5″ photograph. This offer is worth up to an amazing £85, but if you book before father’s day or buy a father’s day voucher (available here) it is only £25!!! What are you waiting for? Don’t forget Granddad!

Claire and Scott What a beautiful setting for wedding photography. A photographers dream infact. From a quaint church in Warfield Bracknell to the stunning Northcote House in Ascot. The couple arrived at the grand white building by vintage car before whizzing around the grounds by golf cart. A day to remember for any Bride and Groom.

Denning Montessori Fawley, Hill Train Visit What an exciting privilege to be invited to the exclusive Fawley Steam Museum Railway. Each year the generous Sir Robert McAlpine invites the school children to his private steam railway collection. Jenny Blaine, the school’s caring and nurturing Principle called upon my services as a portrait photographer to capture the experiences of the day. I think it is clear from the photographs that the children had a wonderful time.

Emma and James I love wedding photography Surrey way, with the grand old venues and this one had the most wonderful theme of Old English elegance meets vintage beauty. That’s the thing I love about wedding photography, every wedding is as unique as the happy couple. Emma and James had a beautiful, intimate ceremony at Hartsfield Manor with antique teacups for decorations and Emma wore a stunning vintage style dress. The bouquets were the most original things I have ever seen. Resembling a bunch of english posies these bouquets were lovingly made out of felt and decorative buttons.

Stunning Mummy comes to the studio Rachel walked into the photography studio reading full of smiles and a little nerveous. We soon got chatting over a nice cool drink and after some special treatment from Hair and Makeup Artist Amy Goodall she was ready to throw herself into the role. Her soft curls and seductive eyes reminded me of a 1950’s movie star. Rachel soon got into the shoot and was moving and posing like a pro, despite having her friend as an audience. Rachels nerves soon melted away as she elegantly reclined herslef on the bed, giggling at the camera or posing like a true model. What a wonderful thing to do for herslef, with a full time career, a full time mum and great friend to her loved ones, it’s about time she remembered she is a woman too.
