Merry Christmas 2011
I’d like to say a huge MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of the Bride & Grooms who I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this year, and those I will be fortunate enough to photograph in 2012.
Its been an incredibly busy year, 15 Weddings is about my limit, I have thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them (only 2 rained!), and have had fun this evening look back through this year to put together this post. I’m looking forward to a few months off (read as catching up with admin, album designs and sending out final wedding packs!) now before next year’s pre-wedding shoots start in February.
Anyway, here’s my 2011 Wedding season in 15 photos.
Adele & George :: Sneak Peak
Yesterday I closed my wedding season off at the beautiful Beaumont House in Old Windsor. Working alongside Josh & Sukey from Spacebar Productions we provided photography and video booth for Adele & George’s wedding.
Whilst I edit all of their images, here is a sneak peak.
And finally here’s their one the evening slideshow, at Adele & George’s request we only provided photography from the ceremony onwards, our photos start at 1min 10 seconds. Thanks to Suhelya & Simon for providing the morning getting ready photos for inclusion in the evening slideshow.
Photobooth Setup Shots
Following another successful photobooth at Beckie & Chris’s Wedding last weekend I thought I’d share a few more setup shots.
You’ll find information of a previous photobooth setup here.
Again we used the Lastolite HighLite powered by a Elinchrom D-Lite 4 at full power, we placed a few LED Par Can’s (run cold, no heat produced) into the bottom of the HighLite to illuminate the background during idle periods, the lights were set to change colour in time with the music. We also used a number of other par can’s around the photobooth area to illuminate it.
I used another D-Lite4 with a white reflective umbrella as the main light source, set to about 3/4 power. After the modelling light overheating issues last time around we used another white par can to shoot through a shoot-through umbrella to illuminate the photobooth area (allow me to focus!)
We again shot with the Canon 1D IV tethered to the macbook pro, but this time displayed the images on the larger 47″ plasma. For the photographers out there, if I remember rightly I shot at 100ISO, 1/200s, f 8.0. The lights were triggered using PW Plus II’s.
As usual we provided an array of props and fun stuff.
You can see all the images taken using this setup here in Beckie & Chris’s Wedding Story gallery.
One of the issues I always run into is the width limitations of the Highlite, despite using it in the 7x6ft orientation, any more that a couple of guests and I’ve reached the limit! I have a plan to extend the width for next year’s wedding season, so check back for an update!
Cat & Tim :: Wedding Highlights
Yesterday I ventured slightly further afield to Tetbury in Gloustershire for Cat & Tim’s wedding at Kingscote Barn!
I arrived around 9am to a wall of fog (the journey wasnt much different), I couldnt see more than a couple of metres ahead. Kingscote is an amazing converted barn in the middle of a beautiful valley, as you can imagine the grounds were as amazing.
Luckily the fog lifted in time to allow Tim to arrive via Glider into an adjacent field, (note: Glider spotting is much harder than wedding car spotting). The weather held out all day, giving us a beautiful November day.
Visit all of their beautiful images HERE, or watch the highlights video below.
I have a vast amount of images from the evening so will post these separately.
You can view their pre-wedding shoot out at Kingscote Barn here
Beckie & Chris :: Sneak Peak
We were fortune enough to be a part of Beckie & Chris’s magical day at Northcote House this past weekend. The weather was amazing for November.
I’m currently working through all of their beautiful images, and photobooth photos, but here’s a sneak peak of their on-the-day slideshow, courtesy of Josh @ Spacebar Productions
Emily & Simon :: Sneak Peak
After a couple of weekends off I had the pleasure of photographing Emily & Simon’s Wedding this past weekend at Northcote House, Whilst I work my way through editing their beautiful day here’s a quick sneak peak in the form of their on the night slideshow. Courtesy of Josh @ Spacebar Productions.
Photobooth Setup
I thought I’d share a few setup shots from last nights photobooth gig.
Working with Sukey from Spacebar Productions, we first setup the Lastolite Hi-Lite and a single strobe (shooting into a large white umbrella), we then added some LED lighting and decorated the light stands. We shot tethered to a Macbook Pro, displaying live images to a 32″ screen (with a custom frame – check out the photo below).
We then finished the setup off with a whole bunch of hats, props, masks and white/blackboards.
For the techie’s out there, I shot at F6.3/8, ISO 100, 1/160-1/200. The Hi Lite was lit using a Elinchrom D-Lite 400 set at just under full power (5.5), and the main light was again a D-Lite 400 at full power (6.0)
Check out the images produced in this setup here
Danielle & Tracy’s 30th Birthday Party :: Photobooth
We provided a photobooth for Danielle & Tracy’s 30th Birthday Party out at Powerleague, Slough.
Working with Sukey from Spacebar Productions we supplied plenty of hats, props & masks.

Nickie & Jim :: Wedding Highlights
This weekend I had the pleasure of capturing Nickie & Jim’s beautiful wedding out in Wokingham & Hurley.
My day started with Nickie, Jenny, Bethany & Alana at their home in Woodley. Hair & Make up was well underway when I arrived, I spent a few hours with the girls before heading over the Wokingham to meet with the boys.
It was then time to meet up with Jim, Matt, Dan, Ian & little Charlie in Cafe Rouge just opposite Wokingham Town Hall where the ceremony will be taking place. After a swift pint it was time to head over to the Town Hall to start meeting guests.
It was a lovely ceremony in Wokingham Town Hall’s Main Hall. The beautifully grand room and large room was the perfect setting for Nickie & Jim’s civil ceremony.
After spending a little time with Nickie & Jim at the town hall we all headed over to Monksbarn in Hurley to reconvene with their guests for the reception. Nickie & Jim had decorated the barn beautifully with so many little personal touches.
After capturing the requested formal shots we got to spend half an hour alone with Nickie & Jim capturing some more intimate photos, it was then back to the barn for the speeches.
Nickies Father Alan started the speeches before handing over to Jim. Best man Tim concluded.
It was then Hog Roast time, and time of us to edit a selection of images ready for the evening slideshow.
It was then down to Josh & Kamaran (Spacebar Productions) to kick start the evening, and provide entertainment right into the night.
Nickie & Jim, thank you for letting us be a part of such a special day. I wish you every happiness in your married life together.

Calmeta & Dave :: Wedding Highlights
Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing Calmeta & Dave’s special day out at Pincents Manor, Reading.
We started the day with Calmeta and here family at home in Reading. It was wonderful starting the day with what was obviously a very loving and caring family.
Heading to the church I got to spend 10 minutes with Dave and his best men, James & Mike. We headed down into Caversham court for a few shots.
It was a beautiful ceremony at St Peters Church, Caversham. The church was beautiful and quite large, big enough to hold all of Calmeta & Dave’s friends and family.
The church being very special to Calmeta’s family, we photographed the Bridal party in Caversham Court, at the base of St Peter’s church, before spending 15 minutes with Calmeta & Dave capturing some wonderfully intimate shots.
It was then off to Pincents Manor to continue the day. We captured some informal shots whilst drinks were served, before moving into the remaining formal shots of friends and family. It was then time to sit down for the Wedding Breakfast.
David, Calmeta’s father started the speeches before handing over to Graham (Dave’s dad). It was then time for Dave to continue with his grooms speech before handing over to the dymanic duo of James & Mike.
With a beautiful sunset we also nipped out just before the first dance to grab some quick sunset shots.
It was then down to Josh & Kamaran (Spacebar Productions) to kick start the evening, and provide entertainment right into the night.
Calmeta & Dave, thank you for letting us be a part of such a special day. I wish you every happiness in your married life together.

Here’s their on the day slideshow, shown during the evening and courtesy of Josh @ Spacebar Productions.
Kirsty & Mark :: Wedding Highlights
Yesterday I had the pleasure to photograph Kirsty & Mark’s amazing wedding day.
It was a hectic start to the day around at the Mason’s where the finishing touches were being put together whilst hair & makeup was well underway.
Kirsty arrived in style in a 1930′s classic Riley car at St Barnabas, in her childhood village of Swanmore.
It was a beautiful ceremony with the church packed with 130 of their closest friends and family.
After some photos at the church and big group shot of the 130 guests it was off to Hill Place just five minutes around the corner, for an amazing reception. Guests had plenty of time to mingle in the gorgeous grounds, before moving into the massive marquee in the garden for their wedding breakfast.
I’d like to say a big thank you to Will & Rebecca and the team at Hill Place for making yesterday such a pleasurable wedding, and allowing us access to some of the more intimate parts of the house (and the roof) for some private shots with Kirsty & Mark (Check here for an earlier review of Hill Place).
Following speeches from Peter, Mark & Simon the guests were treated to performances by Josey Kayne who sang into the evening, before the DJ took over for the rest of the night.
All in all, the weather was amazing and the guests were great, and I hope Kirsy & Mark found yesterday as beautiful as they dreamed.
Here’s their Wedding Day Highlights, for all the images from their day, check the gallery out here.
