Emily & James’ wedding at The Elvetham Hotel

October 12th, 2011 posted by Sam

Another unexpectedly hot day in October for Emily & James’ wedding at Swallowfield Church and The Elvetham Hotel in Hampshire. Fortunately as we do wedding photography at The Elvetham very often it’s a venue we know vey well and we were able to find shady areas to allow the wedding guests to cool off and to look their best in the photographs.

We used the fantastic avenue of trees at The Elvetham as a backdrop for some wonderful wedding photographs of the wedding party and Emily & James themselves, before retiring indoors to capture the wedding breakfast room decorations, table layouts and other key details of the day. After the speeches and cake cutting we photographed Emily & James’ first dance and then set up for the tricky challenge of the fireworks later in the evening to round off a perfect, if a little hot, day!

Charlotte & Stuart’s wedding at Loseley Park

October 12th, 2011 posted by Sam

The weather is not normally so hot and sunny at the end of September and contrary to popular belief this does not always make it easy to be a wedding photographer, even at a venue such as Loseley Park. Bright sunshine creates huge differences between bright sunny areas and dark shades ones especially where the light is streaming through windows into dark rooms. As ever having 2 photographers in different locations and knowing how to make the best of such a situation meant we managed to get great results in challenging lighting conditions.

Outside in the gardens of Loseley Park we were able to use the shade of the mature trees to provide some respite from the heat of the sun and get some great photos of the families and friends gathered for Charlotte & Stuart’s wedding. The wedding breakfast in the barn went down very well and we got some great shots of the speeches and the couple’s first dance together.

Charlotte & Paul’s wedding at Lainston House

October 12th, 2011 posted by Sam

We photographed Charlotte’s sister Katie’s wedding 2 years ago and it’s always nice to be invited back to do the wedding photographs of another family member as it means you must have gone a great job the first time around!

We met both Charlotte & Paul getting ready at Lainston House near Winchester. Paul headed up to the village church in nearby Sparsholt via the local village pub and Charlotte made her way to the church in a traditional carriage pulled by 2 magnificent shire horses. The advantage of having 2 photographers at the event is obvious as we were able to capture events at both locations at the same time.

The vicar was not in favour of our taking photographs in church but we were able to persuade her that our discrete and professional approach would not cause any distractions to the religious service and main event itself. After the service Charlotte & Paul rode in the carriage back to Lainston House for the wedding reception.

We took a small number of group wedding photos in the walled garden at Lainston House and then a great shot of the entire wedding party at the front of the house before they retired to the barn for their wedding breakfast. We captured images of the room, table layouts and the speeches – great for getting those great reaction shots of the “I can’t believe they just told that story” moments. Then Charlotte & Paul performed their first dance and a live band entertained their guests as we finally headed home back up the M3.
