What a fantastic way to spend a Bank Holiday morning this was. Sergei and Jenn are getting married at the wonderful Warren House on Sunday. Now, normally, I tend to do engagement sessions a little more than 6 days before the ceremony, but this was a relatively late booking (just last week in fact) and this was the first day I have had free since I got back from France.

Watching the weather all week I wasn’t sure what to expect, but as it turned out, the sun was shining and the weather was beautiful. We took advantage of the fact it was a Bank Holiday and headed into the City of London as we knew it would be nice and quiet. Other than the fact it took me 20 minutes to find somewhere to get a coffee (it really does shut down around there), it was a brilliant. As with all couples it took a little while for Sergei and Jenn to relax, but this is a large part of the aim of the session, and once warmed up they were great fun.

I am really looking forward to this wedding. Besides being a really wonderful couple, this will be my first Russian Orthodox ceremony which looks absolutely fantastic. Can’t wait for Sunday! In the meantime, enjoy a couple of my favourites from the morning:

Last weekend saw me fly back from my holiday in France to shoot the wedding of Matt and Michelle at the stunning country house location of Burrows Lea in Shere, nr Guildford. Will take me a while to process these as I am away on holiday at the moment, but just a couple of sneak peaks…

I met up with Will and Nicol last Saturday for their engagement shoot on the South Bank. This is one of my all time favourite parts of London so I was really looking forward to this session and I was not disappointed! Will and Nicol were absolutely fantastic. A wonderful couple who were incredibly photogenic and natural in front of the camera. I am really looking forward to seeing WIll and Nicol at their wedding at Warren House in October, it should be an amazing day!

Burrows Lea Country House is a stunning wedding venue set in the hills of the Surrey Downs just outside the picturesque village of Shere. I met up with Matt and Michelle to have a wander through the grounds to get some location ideas for some beautiful wedding photos next month. As with all engagement shoots, it also helps on the day by allowing them to get comfortable in front of the camera whilst having some fun at the same time.

Matt and Michelle epitomise the perfect couple for a wedding photographer, a great looking couple and loads of fun (even when I get them to sit in a potting shed!). Their wedding should be spectacular, so here is hoping for some great weather and a brilliant day!

As you may have guessed from the sneak peek post, this wedding was a little further away from home than usual for me! In the heart of the Lake District this was always going to be a special wedding, add in some stunning summer sunshine, an awesome group of people and it was a huge amount of fun.

Early morning saw me meeting up with Lou and the girls at her Mums house in Penrith whilst they got ready. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone as cool, calm and collected on their wedding day morning as Lou! Was a fantastic chilled atmosphere. From there it was a short stroll down the road to the beautiful Christ Church for the ceremony with one of the nicest priests I think I have met.

Everyone then jumped on a coach as we headed to the gorgeous Inn on the Lake on the shores of Lake Ullswater. You’d have one heck of a job trying to find a more idyllic setting for a wedding reception and it served as the perfect venue for the end of a wonderful day with a wonderful couple.
