Ryan & Emma’s wedding, The Oxford Thames Hotel

So a couple of weeks ago I had a wedding I was looking forward to as I got the booking from a referral which I am still very flattered about.

Ryan and Emma got married at the charmingly English church in Ducklington followed by a superb wedding breakfast at The Oxford Thames hotel.

Emma had a superb dress with the longest train of the year for me I think, they had a lovely vintage car to take Emma to the church and then the happy couple onto the reception, it was a lovely service with some great courses from all the guests throughout.

After the ceremony I kept Ryan and Emma back while the guests made their way onto the reception and we did some portraits of the two of them by the lovely little duck pond outside the church.

I saw them off in the vintage car and made my way to the venue; however when I got there I was told the bride and groom had broken down, turns out they made it about a mile before spluttering to a halt, I couldn’t believe I missed such a jovial photo opportunity, note to self always follow the wedding car!

Paul & Kath’s liftstyle portrait shoot

With Autum arriving but it still being quite warm it’s a perfect time for a lifestyle shoot.  The colours are simply amazing at the moment, which makes all that summer rain seem a little bit more worth while… well kind of!

Paul wanted some shots done of himself and with his girlfriend Kath so we wrapped up and headed out into the beautiful autumnal colours.

A day off!

I’m very excited for this weekend as I will actually be attending a wedding as a guest, I shall be leaving my heavy camera bag at home and replacing it with a clutch bag to match my outfit.  My husband is home too so I can’t wait to go and be on the other side of the lens and drink some of the fizz rather than photographing it!

Mark & Diane’s 10th Anniversary, The Vinyard, Stockcross

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to photograph a wonderful event at The Vinyeard, Stockcross.

Mark and Diane where celebrating their 10^th Wedding Anniversary, however Diane had no idea what was in store, she thought she was just off to the Vinyard for some Spa treatments and good food, how wrong she was.

As a surprise Mark had arranged for a celebration and a blessing, he had all their friends and relatives brought to the Vinyard on an old London bus and they all waited while Diane was pampered and prepared to walk down the isle for the second time.

The sun shone all day which was fantastic because the Vinyard has a lovely water feature at the front of it which makes a lovely place to hold the drinks reception while the string quartet played.

The whole day was fabulous and everyone young and old enjoyed themselves, so congratulations Mark and Diane for making it to 10 years I hope there are many more to come
