Kat & Steve – Marylebone Town Hall
KAT & STEVE – Old Marylebone Town Hall Kat & Steve An emotional wedding at the old marylebone town hall TO VIEW THE WEDDING GALLERY CLICK – HERE A Wedding at the Old Marylebone Town Hall, Westminster Steve and Kat chose my favourite wedding venue in London for their wedding ceremony. With bridal preparations beginning at the Landmark hotel, a 2 minute walk from the town hall the morning was very relaxed. Steve had the children with him for the morning, helping them all get ready and excited. As Kat had finished getting ready slightly early she had planned a drink in the champagne bar before leaving. Making our way to the bar the sunlight was shining strongly through the windows of the roof in the Landmark. As we began the short walk to the town hall Kat was building with nerves and excitement. As the ceremony began there were tears, laughter and excitement from everyone witnessing the day. Kat & Steve both needing tissues to get through the ceremony, emotions were running high for them too. Following the short ceremony, everybody congregated on the steps of the town hall ready for the confetti photographs. We then had a handful of group photographs to complete before boarding the bus to head to The Victoria Stakes pub. The Victoria Stakes, a perfect venue for any wedding reception. Stepping off the bus in north London next to Alexandra Palace, we took a short walk to The Victoria Stakes. Here, I found a lovely space which was well lit ready for the wedding reception and wedding breakfast. Having chosen the beautiful breast of chicken for dinner, speeches were planned after dessert. Speeches were emotional as there were two very important people missing from the day who were positively referenced. A lovey trio of speeches. The evening saw the family cut the cake and also Kat & Steve shared the first dance with the boys.

Sarah & Josh – Norwich Cathedral
SARAH & JOSH – Norwich Cathedral Sarah & Josh A wedding extravaganza at Norwich cathedral TO VIEW THE EXTENDED WEDDING GALLERY CLICK – HERE Norwich Cathedral – A venue draped with history Sarah & Josh chose a Norwich Cathedral wedding for their sunny celebration in late June. Sarah, with a strong connection to the venue is one of a select few who are lucky enough to be allowed to marry inside this magnificent building. Nestled in the heart of Norwich, Norwich Cathedral is the perfect wedding venue for couples seeking a blend of history and romance. With over 900 years of history, this magnificent Norman cathedral offers a breathtaking backdrop for weddings in Norwich. Constructed in 1096, the cathedral’s stunning Romanesque architecture and intricate Gothic additions create an enchanting atmosphere for your special day. Located within the serene Cathedral Close, Norwich Cathedral is a tranquil oasis amidst the city’s bustle. To marry here, couples must meet specific criteria set by the Church of England, including a connection to the parish or regular worship attendance. For those dreaming of a Norwich wedding, Norwich Cathedral provides a unique and unforgettable setting, combining rich heritage with beautiful gardens and majestic interiors. The wedding day itself was blessed with stunning sunshine and an abundance of guests. With over 170 people invited, I was busy working all day long. We started at Ashby Hall, Sarah’s parents house for the bridal preparations before driving to the Cathedral. With six bridesmaids I had a very busy preparation room to photograph. After the dress was steamed, details photographed, Sarah was ready to slip into her dress. As she made her way to the chosen car for arrival, an Aston Martin DB6 for pictures I then left to photograph her arrival. The Cathedral and following drinks The ceremony was very beautiful, with acknowledgement of people who couldn’t be in attendance and also the lighting of the wedding candle. Lasting around fifty minutes the ceremony was filled with hymns, readings and emotions. I chose to photograph around the exterior aisles of the venue making sure to capture everything without being seen. Once the ceremony was concluded guests were invited to the Cloisters for welcome drinks. This gave the bride and groom an opportunity to slip away for a few pictures around the cathedral before we left. Upon leaving the couple chose the Aston Martin DBs, where Sarah had arranged to be taken to the local airfield. This was a complete surprise for Josh as they boarded a helicopter to be returned to Ashby Hall for the reception. With drinks and canapes on the lawn this allowed time for group photographs and candid before moving to the barn. The barn, decorated exquisitely was dress in white with gold detail with an abundance of flowers. Speeches were emotional with times of humour but generally very upbeat and heartfelt. Cocktail hour soon landed with Espresso Martini’s being the chosen drink for sharing before the first dance. The dance floor was busy, until Sarah & Josh went out to cut their ‘Cheese cake’ before socialising. Sarah then had a change of dress and introduced a cardboard cut out of a missing usher. This allowed the others to feature him in a couple of compromising positions.

Emily & Morgan – Bangor Castle, Bangor
EMILY & MORGAN – Bangor castle, Belfast Emily & Morgan AN INTIMATE WEDDING AT BANGOR CASTLE, Bangor TO VIEW THE Full WEDDING GALLERY CLICK – HERE The Luck of a Irish Elopement I was first contacted by Emily via my website and I was excited to visit Northern Ireland. This my first visit to the island of Island and it was always going to be a great adventure, made all the better by photographing this wedding. After months of back and forth organising the time line and details the day arrived. As I flew out, I knew this wedding would be small and intimate surrounded by stunning landscapes and architecture. As I arrived at the location of the Air BnB for the preparations my breath was taken away by the scale and beauty of the building. A stunning Georgian house with acres of land and details inside to match the beauty of the house. As I walked in Emily & Morgan were opening a gift from Emily’s brother, a perfect moment to being the story on. Shortly after this the preparations began and Emily was accompanied upstairs by her sister to begin her hair. Whist Emily was perfecting her make-up she had prepared a letter for Morgan to express her feelings. This left Morgan highly overwhelmed and emotional as he finished off getting ready for the day ahead. Once both parties were ready they met for a first look on the ground floor of the house and Morgan was mesmerised. Bangor castle – The perfect wedding venue Following a small portrait session and family portraits we made our way to the wedding venue, Bangor Castle. Upon arrival Morgan set up a zoom link to all those back home for Emily before the ceremony so they could stream it live. The ceremony itself was heartfelt and genuine with the couple writing their own vows and sharing a tear. We then made our way to the walled gardens at the castle for a few portraits and champagne in the Northern Irish sunshine. Once we had shared a drink and got some photographs we decided to make our way back to the AirBnb to relax. When everyone was back at the house there was a secondary ceremony conducted by Emilys brother Brian. This was a slightly more religious ceremony which was held in the living room of the house. A tradition in Emily’s family at Christmas is to write cards and send books prior to Christmas Day and she decided to carry this onto her wedding day. With this each guest received a card written from the heart and a book, specifically chosen based on their interests. This was a special and tender moment as everyone accepted their gift and read their card in front of everyone else. At this time, the wedding breakfast was approaching, not before two speeches from the brides sister and father. Both were full of gratitude and meaning making everyone shed a tear. Florals: Hidden Botanics Hair & Make up: The bride herself Dress: LA Bridal House – Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland Rings: Aardvark Jewellery – Birmingham Wedding venue: Bangor Castle, Belfast Air Bnb: The Ashville Georgian House Catering: Dine Indulge (Northern Ireland) We simply cannot thank you enough for being part of our day.

As I wandered around the streets of Chelsea before the ceremony began I looked to plan for after the ceremony. In the hour I was walking I stumbled across the most amazing London buildings and architecture. I knew this was to be where we would go for portraits.

How much should you spend on a wedding photographer
Investing in Your Wedding Memories: How Much Should You Spend on Your Photographer? So you’ve got into your planning, now you want to know how much should you spend on a wedding photographer. Your wedding day is a culmination of love, dreams, and promises for a beautiful future together. Amidst the excitement of planning, one crucial decision looms large: your wedding photographer. As a seasoned wedding photographer, I understand the importance of capturing every moment, every emotion, with precision and artistry. But how much should you budget for this invaluable service? Let’s delve into the spectrum of wedding photography prices, catering to diverse preferences and budgets. Remember, your wedding photography investment is not just about the tangible images; it’s about preserving memories that will last a lifetime. Understanding Price Expectations Before we dive into specific price points, it’s essential to recognize the varying expectations associated with wedding photography. Every couple envisions their day uniquely, reflecting their personalities, style, and budget. That’s why when it comes to pricing, flexibility is key. Exploring Budget Ranges For couples planning intimate ceremonies or seeking budget-friendly options, there are photography packages tailored to your needs. With a starting range of approximately £500, you can secure a photographer for a few hours, capturing the essence of your celebration. Stepping up the ladder, full-day coverage becomes a priority for many couples. In the lower to modest budget range, ranging from £750 to £1500, you can expect comprehensive coverage, ensuring no moment is left uncaptured. As guest lists expand and venues exude grandeur, the investment in photography naturally increases. For larger weddings with elaborate details and guest counts, prices may range from £1500 to £2500, reflecting the scope and scale of the event. Embracing Luxury and Experience For couples with a discerning eye for quality and a penchant for luxury, investing in an experienced photographer becomes paramount. With prices ranging from £1850 to £2500, you can expect unparalleled expertise, attention to detail, and the assurance of timeless, breathtaking images. Opting for luxury packages may also include the expertise of a second photographer, enriching your wedding narrative with alternative perspectives and candid moments. Promoting Premium Packages While discussing price ranges, it’s essential to highlight the value proposition of premium photography packages. Investing in a seasoned photographer not only ensures exceptional images but also peace of mind. From personalised consultations to meticulous post-production, every aspect is curated to exceed your expectations. Respecting Individual Choices It’s crucial to emphasize that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to wedding photography. Every couple has unique priorities, and their investment reflects those choices. Whether you opt for an intimate elopement or a lavish affair, your wedding photography should align with your vision and resonate with your hearts. As you embark on your wedding planning journey, remember that your choice of photographer is an investment in your memories. By understanding the range of price expectations and the value each package offers, you can make an informed decision that brings your vision to life.
