Corrine & Kevin - October 23rd, 2011

Corrine and Kevin were married at the Sibson Inn, nr Peterborough.  A lovely old coaching inn on the Great North Road.  I wonder if Dick Turpin stayed there? Their wedding was a small family affair with a lot of laughter.  Corrine and Kavin had their tandem bike there - great photos! After a lovely ceremony it was outside in the sun for the photos, then back inside for the cake cut and I was finished.  Thank you to a lovely bride & groom.

Sandra & Daniel - October 10th, 2011

Then my day was finished.

Katie & Gavin - Ocotober 15th, 2011

The marriage of Katie & Gavin.  A full day for me today from preps in Ely through to the first dance.  From Ely it was over to Huntingdon Marriot Hotel for the ceremony and reception.  The sun was shining and I thought it was quite warm but the girls were feeling the cold a little.  Katie arrived in a Range Rover, very posh! looking amazing and Gavin was well groomed (no pun intended! :-)).  Both Katie and Gavin were quite nervous, which added to the photos during the ceremony.  It was outside again for the group photos etc with a great bouquet throw. Speeches, cake cut and first dance done and I was away home.  Another very enjoyable day.

A busy Sunday

No day of rest for me today I'm pleased to say.  The Maltings, Ely wedding fayre was a good day today and well attended.  Many thanks to Alice and the team for all their had work making sure the day was a success.  I met some lovely couples today and I look forward to photographing thier weddings in the not to distant future.  Thank you for booking me.

Christina & Gary - September 24th, 2011

Off to Romford this morning for the wedding of Christina and Gary.  Christina's preps where at Gary's parents house, and a big thank you to them for their hospitality.  From the preps it was off to the Old Plough Inn a few miles outside of Romford for the ceremony and wedding breakfast.  I arrived there early to make sure I got some great photos of the lads arriving in an authentic american MR T's (from the TV series A Team) vehicle.  What an entrance boys! Christina looked stunning on her arrival.  After the ceremony it was outside in the sunshine for the group photos etc, followed by a dove release which always makes for good photos.  Back inside for the wedding breakfast, speeches, then outside in the dark to do some fantastic photos around the grounds, inside again for the cake cut and first dance.  Another amazing day done and I'm off home.

Nicola & Ashley - September 23rd, 2011

A full day for me today.  Nicola's preps were Haddenham this morning from which I took some great shots.  Then off to Ely Cathedral for the ceremony.  The cathedral is always a fantastic place for a wedding, the light is incredible inside and was able to take (discretely) photos during the whole ceremony again, which is quite a privilege.  Some pre-ceremony photos with Ashley and then outside for Nicola's arrival in the hot sunshine.  After the ceremony it was onto the green around the cathedral for the formal photos etc then down to the Maltings in Ely by the river for the wedding breakfast.  The Maltings had been transformed again.  I took the B&G into Jubilee Gardens for the some photos which was fun, then back to the Maltings for the wedding breakfast, the speeches, cake cut and first dance.

Julie & Mark - September 17th, 2011

What a glorious day for the wedding of Julie and Mark at Bedford Lodge, Newmarket.  I was booked for just the ceremony today and photos afterwards of course!  Julie and Mark were a real pleasure to be with and although they weren't looking forward to being photographed we had a laugh and got some really great photos.  Thank you both for being so friendly and such fun to be with.

Rachel and Jamie were married at Lt Downham Church, nr Ely.  No rain for a change! Pre-cermony photos went well, brides arrival went well and Rachel positively beaming.  A great ceremony where I was able to stand at the front to take some photos.  After the ceremony we took some group shots around the church, did the confetti throw (which I love to do!) and then off to the Maltings in Ely for the wedding breakfast.  We did the bride and groom photos along the waterside and in Jubilee Gardens while the sun was shining.  The speeches were very funny!  Went back down by the river to do some amazing photos in the dark with the moon in the background.  Back inside for the cake cut and the first dance, then off home for me.  A long and terrific day for me.

Laura & James - August 27th, 2011

Laura's preps were at her hairdressers in Biggleswade this morning,which felt a bit strange to me! Ladies hairdressers aren't a place I go to often :-)  After the preps it was off to the church which was only a short way down the road.  After the brides arrival and some photos at the church, it was off to the Felix Hotel in Cambridge for the reception.  Again it was raining and the photos had to be done inside.  The wedding breakfast room looked amazing again.  Laura and James have a very large sense of humour and we had a good laugh and a lot of fun doing the photos!

Preps to start of the wedding breakfast for me today.  The preps were in Mildenhall.  Frances and the girls looked amazing, bright colours which always photograph well.  Off to the church at Barton Mills for the ceremony and some photos.  It had been raining but was dry for the brides arrival.  After the ceremony Frances and Joson's dog was brought in for some photos, which was great. Then off to South Farm at Shingay-Cum-Wendy nr Royston.  It was wet again and so the photos had to be done inside! It was a great day and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Georgina & Jamie - August 20th, 2011

Georgina and the girls were getting ready at Beales Hotel in Hatfield this morning, which is also the venue for the wedding breakfast.  From the preps I was off to Queenswood School Chapel for the ceremony.  Fabulous chapel and grounds. Unfortunately it was raining most of the time.  After the ceremony, we managed a few photos outside before the rain started again. But we did get the opportunity to do the bride and groom photos in the sunshine, which a bit of luck.  Back to Beales Hotel for some more photos, detail shots of the wedding breakfast room and tables etc and the cake cut and I was finished for the day.

Laura & Matt - August 13th, 2011

I was with Laura for her preps in the morning at her parents house.  Gorgeous flowers and dresses and so much going on.  The little bridesmaids were very excited! After the prep photos I was off to Slepe Hall, St Ives for the ceremony and wedding breakfast.  Everyone was very relaxed and loads of jokes going on.  Laura looked amazing.  The ceremony was soon over, the photos done, the wedding breakfast over a load more candid photos, the cake cut and it was time for the first dance!  An amazing day with some great photos.

Ellise just kept smiling, which is good. The ceremony was held in the old church of St Thomas in Upshire.  After the ceremony and photos we were off the reception - which was just across the road.  A few more photos and some detail shots and I was finished for the day.  Thank you so much to you both.  I really enjoyed my time with you.

Bedford Lodge, Newmarket was the venue for Nicole & Jason's wedding today.  Always a pleasure to work there.  The weather was not so good as it was raining most of time I was there.  I was still a great day and we took the photos inside and made good use of the venue.  It was small and very friendly wedding ceremony and we had quite a laugh.

Jessica & Daniel - July 31st pre-day photoshoot

It was a very sunny day today for the environmental photo-shoot of Jess & Dan.  We went to Pocket Park in Ely which is a very relaxing open space, not to busy and not to quite either.  An hour or so later and we had some amazing photos in the bag!  One of which they choose for a signing board during the wedding breakfast.

Keren & Matthew - July 30th, 2011

Thomas A' Beckett church, Ramsey.  A church steeped in history along side of the former Ramsey Abbey, now in ruins. I was with Keren in the morning for the brides preps and she had an old Aston Martin open top to go the church in style.  It was a lovely ceremony and I captured some great moments during the ceremony.  After the groups photos we were off to Sleepe Hall in St Ives. A very relaxed day with a lot more candid photos, the wedding breakfast speeches and then the cake cut and first dance.  A busy day but a great one.  Thank you Keren and Matt for your hospitality during the day.

Welcome to our new block interface

I felt an update was needed for the blog again.  This meant that a new blog address had to be used, so the past blogs can no longer be read, which is a bit if a pain.  I think the new look interface is a vast improvement though.

Saturday July 16th

What a wet day!  I was soaked a couple of times today.  Gemma & Jamie were married today at St Leonards church, Little Downham nr Ely.  I was with Gemma and the girls in the morning for the preps, which was a busy time as always.  I've got some great images of guests and umbrellas arriving at the church!  A few photos of the gents before Gemma arrived.  Jamie planned a surprise for Gemma to see on leaving the church.... an Aston Martin Vantage to go to the reception in.  Gemma's face was a picture (if you'll pardon the pun).  The reception was held at Great Wilbraham Hall Barns, and although it rained on arrival there was a clear spell just long enough to get the photos done.  Speeches, cake cut and first dance then I was off home.

Saturday July 9th

Stephanie & Jamie were married today at St Mary's Church, Ely and the reception was held at the Maltings in Ely.  The weather stayed good for us!  Stephanie arrived at the church in a lovely vintage style car looking very radiant.  A lovely service, some photos at the church then off to the Maltings.  A few more photos, a cake cut and my days was done.

Saturday July 2nd

I'm off to Woodhall Manor nr Woodbridge in Suffolk today for the wedding of Laura & Jason.  The sun is shinning and the sky is blue.  Great venue to work at as well.  I'm here from preps to first dance today.  The girls all look lovely and the colour scheme was a bright orange.  The gents looked very smart as well! The ceremony was held outside in the sunshine.  Photos done, it was inside for the wedding breakfast.  The room looked lovely decorated in orange.  The evening soon came around and with the first dance done I was off home.

The amazing Gosfield Hall nr Sudbury, was the venue for Carly & dan's wedding.  Preps to start of the wedding breakfast and a rather wet day.  Every aspect of the day was great with lots of laughs.  The groom and grooms men donned wellies to walk across the muddy fields in rain to the church which made for some great photos.  Gosfield church is a lovely old church.  A few photos at the church between the showers and then back to the hall.  More photos inside and a cake cut and that was my day done.

Tatiana & Jose - February 2nd 2011

A lovely couple.  Tatiana and Jose were married in the Free Church in Ely, Cambridgeshire.  With family members traveling from around the world to attend and a sunny, but cold day.  Not that you would have known it was cold with the warmth of their smiles.  A really lovely ceremony and a privilege to be a part of their day.

A real need to catch up with my postings!

It's been a very busy couple of months for me.  Weddings fayres almost every weekend, weddings, portrait sittings, trade shows, the list goes on.  I'm sorting some new album covers and I'll have some samples and post some images as soon as I have them.  They are truly amazing with vibrant colours and styles that I hope you'll love.

Additional website is live

My new additional website is now live. This enables me to have one website for wedding photography and one for portraiture, events, schools and commercial photography.  I'll also be able to keep the online galleries within the same web sites making it much easier to find and view the galleries.  The additional website is also able to display discount vouchers for print orders and discounts for portrait sittings etc.  Both web sites interact really well, so I'm pleased.  All the work has been worth while.  There is also a guest book page so I'll be pleased to receive your comments.
