Emma & Dan’s Chilworth Manor Wedding

I got home from Emma & Dan’s wedding at Chilworth Manor feeling rather festive. The christmas decorations were up and with the party in full swing it definately felt like we’ve moved on from rainy autumn into the warm and cosy Christmas season. Winter weddings have their own challenges, photographically, but I always think Christmas is a lovely time of year for a big family celebration. Emma and Dan had a relaxed wedding day with a big group of friends and family. There are 3 people in this marriage. Emma, Dan and little Alexander, who couldn’t help but make sure he was centre of attention even during the ceremony :) We were lucky enough with the weather to get outside for some photos and Emma and Dan got a few minutes to themselves before everyone sat down for dinner and partying and the rain and darkness descended outside.

Here are some sneak previews of their wedding photos. The full gallery is now online for friends and family and is passworded with the brides maiden name.

Gemma & Jon’s Wedding at Rhinefield House

 Gemma & Jonathan got married on a very blustery day in the New Forest. Rhinefield House was finely decorated with a rich autumnal theme and Gemma brightened things up in a gorgeous red wedding dress. I thought I my unbroken ‘no rain’ record for 2009 would surely be over, but the wind proved to be more of a problem. Think Gemma lost her veil at least 3 times while we went out for a brief photo session. I hear the blown-to-bits look is in for winter 2009 brides :)  Back indoors, it was a warm and relaxed wedding with some lovely people and memorable moments.

Here’s some sneak previews of their wedding photos. The full gallery is now online for friends and family and is passworded with the bride’s maiden name.

Gemma & Jon, many congratulations and I hope you have a wonderful life together!

I’m sure the photos of me running round like an idiot trying to catch the veil were funnier but sadly I was the only one with the camera ;)

Jess & Mark’s Wedding at Crewe Hall

 Jess & Mark moved their wedding from Southampton back to Jess’s home terrritory and I’m so glad I went with them. Nice to get out of the usual Hampshire wedding venues and go on an adventure up North. They chose Crewe Hall for their reception, an awesome Jacobean mansion with the most amazing elaborate interiors. I could have occupied them for most of the day for photos amongst the dark decor, but thats not really what weddings are about is it. This wedding was all about Jess and Mark, and they held a truly personal, warm and fun wedding for a large group of friends and family.

My weekend started at the wedding rehersal on Friday and I knew it was going to be a good wedding as the bride and half the congregation were already in tears that evening. I joined them again Saturday morning as Jess got ready with her family and bridesmaids, and then headed off to the lovely village church of All Saints in Bednall. Jess and Mark are both talented musicians, and they incorporated this into the beautiful service , with Mark arranging the music for the bride’s entrance, and involving their friends in the music, on the organ and singing from the choir Cantores Michaelis. It was a very moving and spiritual service.

After the ceremony everyone headed up the motorway to Crewe Hall for drinks and photos, and before you knew it , time for the recieving line and dinner was served. The music continued into the speeches, and Mark serenaded Jess (in her white dress)  and then the Best Men sang a toast to the happy couple. In the evening guests got silly on the dancfloor with a Ceilidh, which is a great way of getting people up and dancing.

Here are some sneak previews of their wedding photos. The full gallery is now online for friends and family at www.amywass.photoreflect.com and is passworded with the bride’s maiden name. 

Many Congratulations Jess & Mark!

Kerrie & Rod’s Rhinefield House Wedding

Kerrie & Rod held an intimate wedding in the grandiouse setting of Rhinefield House in the New Forest. I joined Kerrie and the girls as they got ready in the bridal suite, the bride and her bridesmaids in elegant black and ivory. Kerrie just about held it together as she walked down the aisle and they married in a sweet and simple civil ceremony. An autumnal breeze blew through the ornamental gardens but we managed to avoid the occasional downpours for some photographs in the beautiful grounds, before they sat down for the wedding breakfast. Best man of the year award goes to Rod’s son Matthew, who at 12 years old, delivered a funny and heartfelt speech and there were few dry eyes in the room.

Here are some sneak previews of their wedding photos. The full gallery is now online for friends and family here and is passworded with the brides maiden name.

Kerrie & Rod- Many congratulations and may you have a long and happy marriage!

Jilla & Neil’s Wedding in Soberton

11th October 2008

Jilla and Neil got married on a sunny autumn day at St Peter’s Church in the Hampshire village of Soberton.  The traditional English country wedding at the pretty country church was followed by another great English tradition- Curry and a pint!

The weather was brilliant for a October and we managed to sneak away from the main wedding party for some lovely  photos by a little stream in Soberton.

Below are a few sneak peeks from their wedding photographs. The full gallery is now online for friends and family to view and buy prints by clicking the link HERE. (The password is the bride’s maiden name)

Katie & Edward’s Wedding

13th September 2008

Congratulations Katie & Ed!

Wow what a party! I had a great day shooting Katie & Ed’s wedding on Saturday. They had a beautiful ceremony at St Margarets in East Wellow, a sweet country church, and then back to Ed’s parents for a mammoth celebration. The sun came out, the champagne flowed freely and everyone came up with some amazing dance moves!

Everyone was so nice, but a special thanks to the lovely lady in pink who drove me to the church and back when I lost my car keys at the house, and then helped organise people for the group photos. Drop me an email, I would love to send you some prints of your choice, you were a star!

Here are a few previews from the day. The full gallery is online now for friends and family. There are two galleries HERE and HERE and both are password protected- the password is the bride’s maiden name.
