Destination wedding photography: a beautiful Italian wedding



I recently looked back through 2012 and realised how few full weddings I have actually blogged so far.  It has been a busy year, and I will hopefully manage to catch up with some of these over the winter period while things are quieter.  Now that we are properly into winter, it seems such a long time since this lovely Italian wedding.  But I thought it would be a really great one to blog next, just so that we can all enjoy a bit of summer sunshine through the photographs!

It was definitely one of my favourite weddings this year, not least because I got to travel to Italy.  Leanne and David were an absolute pleasure to work with, and their friends and family all made me feel so welcome, it just made everything even more enjoyable.  This was my second trip to Petritoli (see Scott and Susie's Petritoli wedding here) and it was really special to come back for a second wedding.  Petritoli is a really gorgeous, rustic Italian village, with lots of winding cobbled streets and a really authentic Italian feel to it.  The views are stunning, with the Italian coastline visible over the great stretches of countryside.  Petritoli's 40m high clock tower provides an amazing viewpoint and it was really wonderful to get some photos of Leanne and David at the top, just as the sun was setting.  One of my favourite images is of Leanne and David running across the square, as we raced to get to the top of the tower before we missed the sunset!

I hope that you enjoy looking through these photographs as much as I enjoyed capturing them in the first place.  With any luck I may return to Petritoli for another wedding in the future...  fingers crossed!

Gorgeous baby Connie: a preview

Oh my, did I have a lovely time this morning!  Photographing baby Connie was a joy - at four months old she was alert, smiley and absolutely gorgeous.  We photographed her posing like a professional for me, plus some really gorgeous cuddles with her Mum and Dad.  I just wanted to show you a very quick preview of one of my favourite images before I get editing the rest of them...

Pre-wedding photography in South Devon

Two days, two different pre-wedding shoots and two very different locations...  From the warm autumnal colours of Bath's Botanical Gardens on Friday, to the stark blues and blacks of the rocky beach at South Milton Sands in Devon - and a really stunning sky for a backdrop!  This lovely couple are planning their relaxed farm wedding at The Barn, South Milton for next July. Fingers crossed that the weather is kind and we will be enjoying a stunning outdoor ceremony on the hills overlooking the South Devon coastline!  For now, it was much more.. well... Novembery - and so we wrapped up warmly to explore the beach for their engagement photographs.  A straightforward stroll turned into me asking very nicely if they would mind climbing all over the rocks, along pipes and through pools of water... followed by me clambering over seaweed, through rock pools and testing my wellies to their limits!  Here is a quick peek at a few of the images...

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:
