Since doing the wedding in Kent I’ve been asked by quite a few people if the castle is as nice inside as it is on the outside. See what you think! ………
Front View - Leeds Castle
And here’s a photo that I took before the formals began ….
Just like my dining room at home 🙂
What do you think? It really is a beautiful castle ….. and obviously a fantastic venue for a wedding! Future brides and grooms – start saving now!
I always encourage my wedding couples to meet me before their wedding day at their chosen venue to discuss their ideas about their wedding day and to decide which photographs they would like and where in the grounds or buildings we will plan to take them.
Here’s a flavour of the practice shots I did for Kelly and Michael who are getting married later this month at the Royal Court Hotel in Coventry.
Kelly and Michael - this location will be ideal on the day
Getting Comfortable
I’m really pleased that Kelly and Michael took to the camera so easily. They are obviously very comfortable with each other and this really enabled me to get some natural shots right from the start. I know they are going to look great on their wedding day and I’m really looking forward to capturing all of their special memories for them.
Gary and I had the pleasure of meeting up with Adam and Kay who are getting married in August (they’re well organised!). We met up to take a look at the church and the reception venue and I took my camera along to help them to get used to being in-front of the lens. Here are a few images from the day………..
Meet Adam and Kay!
Getting confident in-front of the camera!
It's usually all about the bride - Sorry Adam!
Lovely couple!
This was an impromptu photo session. Kay and Adam weren’t expecting it but I think, after a little initial shyness, they soon started to enjoy themselves! I know they’ll look great when it comes to the real day! They are such a lovely couple and I can’t wait!
I’ve just got home from the Charlecote Pheasant hotel wedding fayre today. Charlecote Pheasant hotel is near to Stratford Upon Avon.
My stand at the wedding fayre
Image taken with my iphone, by the way! Not the quality of my wedding cameras!
Thank you …… to all of the lovely future brides (and grooms) who came to see me on my stand.
I hope you enjoyed my video slide show, looking at my display albums and finding out more about my photography services….. and I hope my new wedding package information sheets made sense!
This year, I’ve added several new packages and either extra coverage for your money or enhanced products. Of course, I’ll still do bespoke packages to suit your individual needs.
I had loads of interest in my Graphi-Studio digital albums which are my personal favourites! I now offer a Graphi Studio album option in all of my wedding album packages starting at only £695!
I really enjoy producing the designs for these albums myself. Hopefully this shows in my work. I don’t believe in doing what some photographers do: they take the photos and then send them to Graphi Studio for them to do the album design. I think this is very impersonal and doesn’t accurately reflect the nature of the day. I take pride in capturing those special moments that happen in the day and to me each image is part of the overall story, rather than just another photo! I’m then able to build my album designs based on my knowledge of what happened, when and why!
If you came to see me today., Thank you, and I hope you will book me for a consultation (absolutely no obligation to book me!). If you couldn’t make it or if you didn’t know about it, don’t worry, I’ll happily tell you everything you need to know. If you are looking for a fun and bubbly wedding photographer in the next two years please give me a call. I’d love to hear from you.

We met Grace and Philipp today, a lovely couple who we instantly got on well with! We were at Hampton Manor near to Meriden and we met to plan their wedding photography and to help them to get used to being in-front of the camera.
What a lovely choice of venue! Really nice inside and out – a perfect choice!
It was very bright and sunny, but it was absolutely freezing! I could hardly feel my fingers by the time we’d finished!
A Grand Entrance!
When we do photo shoots we always provide a range of images that have been colour corrected, selectively cropped, are a mixture of B&W and full colour and sometimes with selective ‘colour-popping’.
Grace and Philipp - Getting Comfortable!
We’ve agreed with Grace and Philipp that my husband, Gary, will go along as a second photographer at their wedding. We often do this! It enables us to get more shots and to use different lenses at the same time for similar shots.
We’re told that Philipp often closes his eyes when being photographed. Not this time! …….Too quick for him!
Hope you all agree that they are very photogenic couple and I’m really looking forward to their wedding at this lovely venue in March. I can’t wait to meet their family and friends who will be visiting from as far a-field as Singapore, New Zealand and Germany! I’m sure it will be a fabulous day!
Final note: If you are friends or family of Grace and Philipp there are more images on my main website here – but they are password protected. You’ll need to contact Grace and Philipp to get the password to view them.
It’ been a great start to the new year already. I’ve had several enquiries for my wedding photography: One for 2012! Very organised!!
I’m meeting a future bride and groom on Wednesday (they met me at a wedding fayre that I did in November near to Stratford) to discuss their photography and I’ve had some extra orders for prints from two brides whose weddings I photographed late last year.
Meanwhile, I’ve had an enquiry from a fantastic wildlife photographer who is interested in me doing some canvas prints for him. I’ll add a link to his site if he decides to work with me!
Busy, busy, busy!
I’ll get some images up here soon. Bear with me while I add more to this blog.
