Sandhurst wedding photography | Penny and David

There is nowhere quite like the glorious Sandhurst. It is steeped in military history and every British Army Officer must pass through here. It was therefore an honour to be asked to shoot Penny and Captain David's wedding there a few weeks ago. It was a splendid day, warm and sunny throughout, and the picturesque marquee set by the lake was beautiful. The ceremony was held in the vast chapel and formal groups shots had the grand location on the Old College steps. I hope you enjoy this small taster of their wedding day.

Bishop's Palace Wedding Photography | Katie and Christian

Wedding at Bishops Palace, Wells

"Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love."
 Mother Teresa

Well Katie and Christian were smiling, giggling and laughing with each other all day long - a sure sign they are well and truly in love! It was a joy to capture their incredible day in Wells. Sharing my morning between relaxed bridal preparations with Katie and the girls, to beer and banter with the boys at the Crown Inn in the city centre was a great start to the day. The florist Lynnsey Kelly who provided the beautiful flowers actually had a stall in the market, which was fortunate for the chaps as they all needed assistance putting button holes on!

The ceremony, held at St Thomas' Church, had everyone holding their breath at one point when Katie couldn't quite get the ring on Chris' finger... she did succeed eventually, amidst a lot of laughter.
 
The reception was held at Bishops Palace, a true gem of a venue steeped in history and with a plethora of photographic opportunities. Perfect weather allowed for ample opportunities to explore the beautiful gardens and grounds.

Following the wedding breakfast, the evening's entertainment was provided by Shoot the Moon who filled the undercroft with the sound of trumpets, saxaphones, guitars and drums!

Congratulations Katie and Christian, it was absolute pleasure to be part of your day :)

Dorset Engagement Shoot - Caroline and Ed

Garden engagement shoot

The village of Chideock, Dorset sits on the historic Jurrassic coast and was the location for Caroline and Ed's lovely engagement shoot. We made use of the garden first of all - which will be the setting for their wedding in July - and then, after a quick change of clothes, made our way down to the cliffs and beach. A beautiful evening light gave off a soft glow, add to this a fun and relaxed couple very much in love and I can't imagine more perfect conditions for a photographer! I thoroughly enjoyed this shoot and really look forward to going back in July for their wedding.

Here are a just few favourites from their shoot...
