weddings

A pause for thought, I wonder what the bride was thinking? These are the moments that are such a pleasure to catch.

Evening time following the weekend wedding at Lulworth Castle in the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset.

All the business of the day has passed, the light is perfect and there is time to have a quiet look around and some atmospheric shots.

A truly breathtakingly beautiful location and a break in the August rainfall made for a successful day.

It was a wet and windy August day at the Wimborne Minster,  the whole of Dorset in fact, even the Bournemouth Air Festival was cancelled today.

However, the vast space inside the Minster at Wimborne has such beautiful stained glass windows which provide a colourful backdrop and soft light that it made up for the unpredictable British summer weather.

I was one of the luckiest Dorset Wedding Photographers today,  I kept dry!

There are so many beautiful details in a wedding day and the sometimes the shy bridesmaids can get missed out. It may the simple bow on the dress or the buttonhole on the grooms lapel, highlighted by the natural light available on the day. A wedding photographer has to pick out the fine detail which can be easily forgotten in the hustle and bustle of such a busy day and sometimes only remembered later, by the reminder of a photograph!

Ali and Mark chose a fabulously sunny day to get married at The Captain’s Club in Christchurch with it’s beautiful terrace overlooking the river. Good tempered English weather just tops off the arrangements for a stunning wedding venue such as this. Initially, a camera shy  bride, she blossomed and relaxed and forgot I was there completely.
