Tottington Manor – Jen and Liam

There are so many different things that effect wedding photography. The weather, choice of venue and the type of people present all make a difference and contribute to the final output. Then, every now and again you have a wedding where everything just falls into place and you’re in sync with the couple.

Jen and Liam’s wedding a few weeks ago was one such wedding. Ok so it didn’t run smooth, the vicar said I had to stand at the back of the church at all times and the key to the VW camper was twisted but these things were brushed away as nothing and spirits were high all day.

The venues involved were St Mary’s Church in Sompting and Tottington Manor in Edburton.

The service was sweet, one of the guests played Einaudi on the piano during the register signing and we spent a little time on the church grounds for photos and possibly one of the longest confetti lines ever!

Jen and Liam had a blue VW Camper and they drove themselves off to the reception at Totttington Manor. This is a pretty awesome place to have a reception with rolling fields in the background and on the day itself there were Daffodils everywhere.

The staff at Tottington Manor were awesome (and still are) and everything went without a hitch.

I stayed until the evening on this occasion and I’ve now some new friends in Jen and Liam, it was such a great day!

Gemma and Simons Wedding at Worplesdon Church and Worplesdon Memorial Hall

blasphemy

Blasphemy, pure and simple.

Rain on a wedding day

I don’t like rain when I’m working if I’m honest. I know the song goes ‘after the rain comes sun’ but this is England and it usually doesn’t. I think whoever wrote the verse must of originated from Marbella.

Rain was with me at Gemma and Simons wedding in February just gone. Not that it dampened any spirits though ;)

The venues were Worplesdon Church and then over the road to Worplesdon Memorial Hall, literally over the road which meant there was no time lost in travel. As much as I have a humorous dig at the rain it does make for a diverse selection of interesting photos.

Worplesdon Memorial Hall easily fits 100 guests and is a fab choice of venue, it’s close proximity to the church is really really handy, it’s great when everything is relatively central.

The whole day went without a hitch and everyone was especially lovely to be around, here are some more photos:

Shoes as individual as those wearing them.

With Gemma's dad being a keen photographer she was quite relaxed with the camera.

Paula and Harry’s slightly Unorthodox Greek Orthodox Wedding

Groom pulling a silly face

Bleeeaaruurggg!

Paula and Harry’s Greek Orthodox Wedding

I photograph a lot of weddings, lots…. but every now and again something a bit off the wall, a bit new, a little…unusual comes along…meet Paula and Harry.

Now quite honestly I don’t know where to begin but one thing I’m sure of is I won’t forget this one in a hurry!

Bride with Pink Hair

Harry was unaware of the pink hair

Harry knew Paula was going to dye her hair for the wedding but he wasn’t aware which colour but Pink was the theme. There was a Pink Porsche Carrera as a wedding car too and Paula hand made all the bouquets.

The wedding venue was St Andrews Church in Kentish Town (Greek Orthodox) and this is a STUNNING church. It’s so ornate and colourful inside!

After the ceremony the guests left for the reception and we went straight into the pub for two double G’n'T’s (them not me!), after that we made use of Kentish Towns finest for photos:

Then we went to the reception when the normal things like seeing how many people can sit on the groom before he screams, knocking back depth chargers and several disorderly games of Beer Pong took place.

For me, I loved it and was totally made up with the whole day. They were such a lovely couple to work for. Hopefully we’ll keep in touch!

I don't know if I was more surprised over the size of the Chandeliers or the number of bulbs in them.
