Carla & Danny - High Wycombe Registry Office & Monkton Barn 10 September 2011

Danny and Carla's wedding ceremony took place at the Registry Office in the beautiful market town of High Wycombe. It has to be said it didn't get off to the best of starts. It was a humid late summer's day with sporadic showers as the guests were arriving. Due to heavy traffic on the roads around High Wycombe Carla arrived before half the wedding party so spent a few minutes waiting in the back of the wedding car. Luckily the heavily tinted rear windows kept her stunning dress a surprise as the remaining guests hurried past. Thankfully the ceremony went past without a hitch (pardon the pun) and it was then into the sleek Jaguar to head down to Monkton Barn Galleries for the reception. With the rain clouds clearing we could make the most of the sheltered courtyard where the guests enjoyed the reception. Some beautiful early evening light made for great portraits outside whilst in the large converted barn the party was just getting started.

Jay & Nigel - Red Lion Hotel Henley 10 September 2011

It’s always brilliant doing a wedding of someone you know in a place you really love... and they call this work! I was overjoyed when Jay asked me to photograph her special day in the delights of Henley and this day did not fail to deliver. The beautiful Red Lion Hotel was the venue and one that I have covered before. With a backdrop of the River Thames and a warm fine day everything was set, apart from the odd rain shower that is... Jay arrived in a very cool Morris Minor convertible and moved her girlfriends to tears with a stunning creation and entrance. With moments to spare the ceremony was underway and finished with singing guitarists!!  We escaped in the car for a mini tour of Henley and parked up near the river with enough time to grab a few shots prior to an obligatory shower. The reception was in full swing and once the weather cleared we stopped the traffic on Henley Bridge for some fun shots with the amazing Saxophonist Mike Taylor. Weddings have plenty of surprises and this one had Yuri Geller popping in to bend a few spoons and create mayhem... So a top day with a top couple.
