On the 28th November I had the pleasure of photographing Dominique & Al's London wedding at St Etheldreda's church.
I love winter weddings with lots of candles and low light. The ceremony started at 4pm in the candlelit church, followed by a reception at the Bleeding Heart (http://www.bleedingheart.co.uk/).
On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Peter & John's civil partnership in London. The couple had kept rather quiet about who photographed the pre partnership portrait that was on display. It was in fact taken by Lord Snowdon, a friend of Peter & John. Lord Snowdon is a very famous photographer and considered by many as one of the great photographers of the 20th century.
Lord Snowdon was also a guest at the reception. I'm not sure what he will make of my photograph of him, although I did get to talk to him briefly about photography and he didn't seem too keen on digital cameras (photograph taken on a Canon 5DmkII digital camera in a very dark room at iso6400).
Jane and Rob married on the 9th October 2009 at Holdenby House in Northamptonshire.
Holdenby is one of my favourite locations for weddings in Northamptonshire. It's a family home and has a lovely feel that you don't get with a hotel. Holdenby only have a handful of weddings each year.
Johanne & Gareth married at St Michael and All Angels church in Diesworth and had their reception at Thrumpton Hall.
I had photographed the wedding of Johanne's sister a few years back and the weddings of a number of their friends since. It's always lovely to work with the same family again.
A number of Johanne's friends gathered at the bottom of the stairs to greet her at the house after she got dressed. This was a lovely touching moment which made for great photographs.
