weddings

Armed with a brolly, just in case the heavens opened on this blustery Wednesday afternoon, a relaxed Janine and David had a walk about from the Greenhouse Hotel to a few of Bournemouth’s hidden gem locations. As a photographer, I am constantly squirrelling away potential quiet spots with unspoilt backdrops which could be used for a rainy day. I am looking forward to your special day in June!

My last wedding of 2011, on the 31st December, New Years Eve at the East Close Hotel, Holmsley, Dorset.

An intimate gathering for the ceremony and wedding breakfast followed by a large party to celebrate further into the evening welcoming 2012 in with style.

Kathryn and Nick asked me to document their post wedding party which was scheduled  a few weeks after their wedding day, they had returned relaxed and tanned from their honeymoon in the Caribbean, Christmas was behind them and they were ready to meet and greet their friends and family again. It also gave everyone another chance to dress up  in their celebratory togs once more, something any self respecting bride would never say no to! I suggested a Photo Booth mobile studio which always creates an opportunity to let your hair down. Here is a few early pictures from their evening:

Pre-wedding pictures for Sheila and Tristan at the East Close Hotel near Holmsley. On these shoots we get together and spend some time having some very relaxed sample pictures as well as having a number of locations earmarked for the wedding. This is a good bonding session between the photographer and his excited clients as well as getting use to being in front of the camera which makes the wedding day much more comfortable and one less thing to get anxious about.

Red Carpet Salon in Canford Cliffs, then dashing off to the Cumberland Hotel and the bridal abode, next stop St Stevens Church followed by a quick spin in a white Rolls Royce Phantom for a rendezvous with a Fairline Luxury Cruise Yacht taking the extremely happy, newly married Rachel and Steve off at the Captains Club Hotel on the Christchurch riverside. My head was spinning but I witnessed one very special day and one very happy couple.

Kathryn’s studio pre wedding shoot and only 10 days before her wedding at the Captains Club Hotel next Sunday. I encourage at least the bride-to-be to have a pre wedding chat and some sample pictures as quite usually this is the first time people have professional portrait pictures made. Its also a time to discuss posture, poses, dress detail, formal pictures and the worrying question of what happens when it rains on the big day? The session also should be fun and confidence building and one thing less to think about at the actual event.

The Silver Rocketeer mobile cocktail bar in situ at The Dorset Vintage Wedding Fair at Chettle House recently. It is the most amazing set up and even better when you see it in action.
