Wedding Photography of the day #148

A great seasonal shot of Kirk on the steps at Eastnor Castle looking like quite the Dickensian gent. Kirk, his bestman and ushers all went for the top hat and tails look and Kirk also has the classic walking cane for a few photos. The dusting of snow on the steps leading the eye into Kirk and the architecture of the castle frame Kirk magnificiently making this a very powerful and grand looking picture.

A lovely moment of Lesley during her first dance with new husband Barrie at Bovey Castle. They had a fabulous wedding at this splindid location in Devon, If you are looking for amazing service and a fairytale venue then check it out.

Wedding Picture of the Day #138

A great shot of Abha's dress we photographed in the door way of the Tythe Barn last year. Her dress was by Ian Stewart and was fabulous to photograph on Abha and Chris's wedding day. We love photographing Ian Stewart dresses and its always great to see one hanging up in the morning before the wedding. With mixed weather we had to contend with a few showers during the day. We photographed Abha and Chris in the door ways of the barn whilst we stood outside, one with the camera and one holding a brolly!

Wedding Picture of the Day #112

Love this picture of Suzanne making a few final adjustments before her marriage ceremony. Photographed at Eastnor Castle the interior is georgous and helps to make some really stunning images.  As we have exposed for the reflection in the mirror everything else has gone darker drawing the viewers attention to the reflection of Suzanne.

Would you like to get married at Downton Abbey?

Looking for that dream wedding venue where you will feel like the Lord and Lady of the house? Well if you have been watching Downton Abbey on a Sunday night, ITV 1 at 9pm and wondering where that splendid building is then the answer is Highclere Castle, in Hampshire.

Downton Abbey is a period drama set in the early 1900's and based around the Crawley Family living at Downton. The series is set in the Edwardian era at the reign of King George V in the fictional country estate of Downton, Yorkshire. Written by actor and writer Julian Fellowes with award winning actors including Hugh Bonneville and Maggie Smith. All we can say its its well worth watching and brilliantly filmed Sunday night television.

We particularly love watching it as we were lucky enough to photograph a wedding at Highclere Castle a few years ago and it has to be one of our favourite wedding venues of all time. Highclere has been lived in by the Carnarvon family since 1679 and has entertained many notable figures over time from Kings and Queens  to Prime Ministers.

 Here are some of our favourite pictures from Matt and Katy's wedding at Highclere.

Wedding Picture of the day #101

A beautiful shot of two excited flower girls running ahead of the bride and her father. This shot was taken in the spring time when the leaves on the trees are looking their best. We love the scale of the big old chestnut tree and the little girls beneath it.

What a wedding! Great couple, great venue, great weather and more things to photograph than you could shake a stick at....we could have done with a month off after this one! We could have filled the blog up with shots from this wedding but didn't so we hope you like this small selection but we're sure we'll feature more pictures from this wedding in the future if your lucky.

Wedding this weekend at Monkey Island Bray.

We're off to Monkey Island, Bray this weekend and we're really looking forward to it! Monkey Island is an interesting venue with some great oppotunities for photography so we always look forward to going back there. We will be starting however at All Saints Church Marlow before heading of to the island and All Saints is always a good church to shoot in (if you get the vicar on a good day) so that should be cool too.

Check out Monkey Island's website here.

A busy weekend ahead.....

This weekend we have two weddings, tomorrow we will be at the prestigious Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire for a Sikh / Catholic inspired wedding which we are really looking forward to. Stoke Park has seen its fair share of film stars as over the years several movies have been filmed there including  the James Bond classics Goldfinger and Tomorrow Never Dies, Bridget Jones Diary, Guy Richie's RocknRolla and our favourite Layer Cake featuring Daniel Craig. To see a clip of Daniel arriving at Stoke Park and walking through the building click here.

Then, if that was not enough we will be at another popular film location of Hambleden estate for a church service followed by a reception on the river Thames at Greenlands, Henley on Thames for a wedding on Saturday.

The Hambleden village and estate has been the location for many films including 101 Dalmatians and Sleepy Hollow and for major TV productions such as Band of Brothers, A Village Affair, Poirot, Rosemary & Thyme and Down to Earth. We have even seen David Suchet (Poirot) walking around the church yard whilst we were doing a pre wedding shoot there!

Then with the wedding reception at Greenlands house, former home of WH Smith we really have no excuse for some great pictures with some stunning backdrops.

Keep your fingers crossed this rain will pass and keep and eye out for some pictures from these two great forthcoming weddings!
