Rachel & Dan Wedding - Morden Hall, South London

23/11/2016

0 Comments

 
I regard it as a huge privilege to be asked to capture someone's wedding day. To be there during the most important, intimate and personal moment of someone's life, where you're pretty much given carte-blanche to go wherever you like, camera(s) in hand, is not something I take lightly. I've yet to meet someone who is truly comfortable with having their picture taken and so its a big ask to to have a photographer tracking your every move as you go about trying to keep your cool as you prepare for your big day. 

I first met Rachel and Dan at their wedding venue, Morden Hall in South London, earlier in the year and from the get-go they put their complete faith and trust in me. They weren't too enamoured with the idea of having a camera lens trained on them all day but they knew how important it was to get a set of images that would capture the story and atmosphere of their day and so they basically gave me the ball and told me to run with it.  And guess what? Come the big day they were both complete stars. I don't think I've ever seen a more relaxed couple on their wedding day. Even when the printers sent a menu for a Chinese restaurant instead of their table seating plan, they just laughed it off (the seating plan arrived eventually!).
 
​Autumn is my favourite time of year for many reasons but for a wedding it really adds that extra something special. Rachel and Dan felt that way too and the theme of the season was a big part of the day. The colour orange was prevalent everywhere, subtle though and not in your face. Leaves surrounded the wedding cake, there were wooden place names on the tables and the flowers gave off a warm seasonal glow.
Love and laughter filled the day and once again, it was a great feeling to be able to stand back and just take it all in and let the camera capture their story.  

Thanks Rachel and Dan, here's to you both. You rocked it.

Victoria & Rod Wedding - RMA Sandhurst, Surrey

8/11/2016

1 Comment

 
A couple of years ago I shot a wedding at RMA Sandhurst, a place steeped in tradition and military history and recently I was lucky enough to return there for the wedding of Victoria & Rod who both had close ties with the college. As a location it never fails to inspire and Victoria and her Mum really outdid themselves when it came to their attention to detail. Taking Rod's Scottish heritage and, using his tartan as inspiration, there were little nods to its colour all over the place from the car to the cake (my goodness, and what a cake!) to the flowers and the impressively stocked sweetie bar. With a piper escorting them throughout the day (by the way, EVERYONE should get their own piper, they're fantastic!) everything ran without a hitch and into the wee small hours after lots of vigorous dancing to the amazing Baltik Ceilidh Band. 

Victoria and Rod are a truly great couple, fun to be around and with the love and support of a wonderful family and group of friends. It was a day to remember, filled with the prerequisite laughter, tears, joy and of course piping. Lots of fantastic piping. 

Below are just some of the excellent suppliers who helped Victoria and Rod's go off without a hitch:

Wedding planner: Katrina Otter
Videographer: Lara Elliot 
​Florist: Daisy Chain, Sandhurst
​
Cake: Designed by Fiona Mair at Cakeadelic
​
Wedding car: Charismatic Cars
​
Stationary: Wanderlust Cards
​
Wedding dress: This was a Jesus Peiro 6000 in Mikado Fabric, available for any Jesus Peiro stockist in the UK.
