Pre-wedding Photography in Bath: Hannah-Marie & Matt

I had a lovely time doing an engagement photography session this morning in Bath.  Hannah-Marie proposed to Matt in Bath's Botanical Gardens, so it was an excellent location for their pre-wedding photo session.  What's more, the autumn colours of the leaves in the park were absolutely stunning and just beautiful as a backdrop or frame for their images.  We also had lots of fun climbing through bushes, wading in muddy streams and exploring some of the furthest corners of the gardens!  I had a great time... and Hannah-Marie and Matt were fantastic and humoured me each time I suggested they cuddled up together in yet another tree! I'm really looking forward to their December wedding at Maunsel House in Somerset.  Here is a very quick preview from today's images:

South Devon wedding photography: Ariane & David's Salcombe wedding

I have been really looking forward to blogging Ariane and David's wedding!  I think that South Devon has some of the loveliest areas, and I have loved the various weddings that I've photographed around there.

Ariane and David's ceremony was at beautiful Bigbury, followed by celebrations at the stunning Cliff House at Salcombe.  Ariane is a talented illustrator (see her work here) and it was really lovely to see the artistic touches evident in the decoration and details in everything at the wedding.  Ariane did actually say that her clever father played the main part in all the amazing table decorations - I love the ink rimmed milk bottles and the bunches of gypsophila everywhere - clearly a very artistic family!  The white and grey theme was elegant and understated, creating a really beautiful backdrop for their wedding celebrations.

Although they both live in London, Ariane and David met surfing in the south west, so a seaside Devon celebration was the perfect way to tie the knot.  Cliff House in Salcombe is a gorgeous venue: huge windows overlooking the Kingsbridge estuary and out to sea, a lovely bright space indoors and a really relaxed feel.  Ariane's family are German, so there was a multicultural feel to the celebrations, including some brilliant traditional German games for the bride and groom and translations for some of the speeches!  It was a real pleasure to photograph Ariane and David's wedding - just a beautiful, relaxed, seaside celebration, and I hope that you enjoy this selection of their wedding photos...

Beautiful Fine Art Albums

I have something really special to share with you in this post.  I find it very hard to describe how much I love these fine art albums.  As far as I am concerned, they offer the highest quality possible for your images, which is quite a serious consideration when you are deciding what to do with something so precious.  From the first moment of capture, through the careful editing process I apply to each image, the end result is often the album and I wanted something really outstanding for this.  I looked at so many different album suppliers, trying to find something that would really do justice to the work put into your photos, something utterly perfect.  I found Folio Albums.  

Haldon Belvedere: a wedding preview

Last week I photographed the most beautiful wedding ceremony at Haldon Belvedere.  It rained and rained outside, but didn't matter at all - Haldon Belvedere has the most stunning interior too!  Huge congratulations to Clare and Nick - here is a quick preview:
