Nick & Helen’s Pre-Wedding Photos at Winslowe House
Today I met up with Helen and Nick who are getting married soon at Winslowe House in Southampton. I include a pre-wedding photo shoot with my wedding photography as it gives the couples a first taste of being in front of the camera, and me a chance to see how they are with being photographed. Today was a great example: I learned that on their wedding day I will have to look out for Helen blinking ALOT and for Nick to pull that face… 
Thats the one!

Carrie & Terry’s Christmas Wedding at Rhinefield House
Happy New Year! Just before Christmas I photographed Carrie & Terry’s wedding at Rhinefield House in the New Forest. It was my last wedding of 2009 and gladly continued my run of no rainy weddings for the whole year! (am I a lucky omen?) While the rest of the country was blanketed under snow, it was one of those sunny, crisp and cold winters days on the South Coast. Rhinefield is one of those venue’s thats great in summer or winter, and it is certainly a cosy setting with the christmas trees, wood burning fires and chandeliers.
The wedding was of course festive themed. During the ceremony the congregation sang Rudolf the Rednosed reindeer, and the tables were named after Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Dixon (and Bernard?) The table centrepieces were mini-christmas trees and the place names written on colourful baubles.
Everyone was in good spirits and Carrie & Terry are a very easy going couple and it certainly felt like they are going to have a happy life together.
Here’s some sneak previews of their wedding photos (an extended post as they’ve had to wait until the after Christmas break!) The full gallery will be up for friends and family by the end of the week. Many Congratulations Mr & Mrs Whittaker!
More to follow soon….

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.

Sarah & Alex’s Wedding Featured on Rock n Roll Bride
I’m really excited to see my photos from Sarah & Alex’s Halloween wedding on Rock ‘n Roll bride this week. If you haven’t come across this site before, I’d suggest you check it out for some amazingly inspirational weddings and equally amazing photography. I am a firm believer that a wedding should be individual and unique to the people who are getting married, and Rock ‘n Roll bride collects together weddings from all over the world which fit that ethos.
“Rock ‘n Roll Bride promotes individuality and general awesomeness in a cookie cutter, pastel pink, poufy dressed wedding world. A rock ‘n roll wedding is a wedding where the couple actually acknowledge that to plan a good wedding, they have to incorporate themselves and plan what they love for their day. ”
