Dominique & Al's wedding at St Etheldreda's church, London.

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/).

Dominique wore a beautiful Jenny Packham dress.

No pressure on me!

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).

Holdenby House - Jane & Rob's wedding

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.

This was my second visit to Hampton Court House, which is a school during the week and a great wedding location at the weekend.

Johanne & Gareth's wedding at Thrumpton Hall

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.
