Wedding Photography at Hengrave Hall Suffolk

March 19, 2011 by admin | Leave a comment

Last year I photographed the beautiful wedding of Roger and Hanako at Hengrave Hall in Suffolk.

After seeing the images from the day, Emma at Hengrave Hall asked if I could supply a sample album for them to feature at their open day this weekend 20th March. I was very honoured to be asked and this week the album was delivered with a few words from them to say thank you ‘many thanks for sending us the lovely album…….. it looks great, we love so many of these images …what fabulous memories of a beautiful wedding’

 I look forward to photographing many more weddings at this fantastic venue and wish them well for a great day on Sunday

Pre-Wedding Photography at the Old Bridge Hotel Huntingdon

March 19, 2011 by admin | Leave a comment

Earlier this month I met with Jessica and Marc for a pre-wedding photography shoot. Normally they are used to the much warmer climate of Dubai so the cool March weather was a bit of a shock for them.

 It was a great opportunity to get to know them better and have a walk around the small but perfectly formed grounds of the ever popular Old Bridge Hotel, one of my favourite places to kick back and relax and great place to work with wedding clients

 I look forward to seeing Jessica and Mark on their day when hopefully the weather will be kinder to them………here are a few shots from their day

Pre-Wedding Photography in Florence, Italy

February 20, 2011 by admin | Leave a comment

In December last year Nichola and Adam won our fabulous prize of a trip to Florence for a pre-wedding photography shoot. Not wanting to waste a minute of the opportunity they asked if the trip could be organised for February, so on Valentine’s weekend we all headed for Florence!

 As they are actually getting married in Florence this summer it was a great opportunity for them to get to know this beautiful city a little better and what better way to celebrate than with the other part of their prize, a stay in the luxurious apartments above St Marks English Church on Via Maggio

 Starting early we wondered through the ancient streets, blissfully crowd free at this time of year. Naturally low key, Nichola and Adam chose black and denim for their shoot and thus mingled easily with the Italians who have a love for all things black at this time of year. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to shown the stunning wedding dresses displayed in Atelier Aimee, an icon of beauty and light amid the peculiar mix of renaissance architecture and graffiti

 With its mix of beauty and grit Florence never ceases to surprise. The imposing massive brickwork along Via Tuornabuoni; the soft beauty of the Ponte Vecchio at dusk and the quirky touches such as the padlocks on Ponte Vecchio – each padlock representing two lovers locked together forever make Florence unforgettable and ever so slightly addictive…………

I look forward to seeing Nichola and Adam again when I photograph their wedding in Florence in July but until then enjoy a few shots from their day. 

In the near future we will also feature their trip on The Wedding Vine who kindly managed the competition for us and contributed prize money for Nichola and Adam to enjoy in the lovely shops in Florence!

Photography at St Marks English Church Florence

February 20, 2011 by admin | Leave a comment

Whenever I am in Florence I catch up with Father Lawrence and the parishioners of St Marks English Church on Via Maggio. Housed in a former Medici palace, over the years I have seen it transformed from sad decay to impressive splendour with the ever inspiring Father Lawrence ensuring a great legacy for this church in his vision to restore it and his energy and capacity for welcoming people to the church whether it be to attend a service; get married or just attend their now famous operas

 Sadly, Father Lawrence will be leaving for the UK in the summer but I am sure his fantastic supporting team and no doubt his replacement will continue the good work. I will hopefully return before the end of the summer but in the meantime here are a few images of the service last weekend

Winter Wedding Photography – style in the city………..

January 11, 2011 by admin | Leave a comment

Tansa and Ben were married on New Years Eve in a stylish relaxed ceremony and celebration. Being the ‘about town’ couple that they are they obliged with a short walk amongst last minute shoppers on new years eve who of course wished them congratulations as they passed. I particularly liked the art deco feel to the shots of Tansa during her preparations looking very elegant in her Ian Stuart gown.

Winter Wedding Photography at Anstey Hall Cambridge

January 10, 2011 by admin | Leave a comment

Fog, Fog and more Fog greeted me on the morning of Helen and Jez’s wedding. After a moving ceremony at St Mary the Virgin in Shelford the wedding party arrived at Anstey Hall to begin the celebrations. I had thought that maybe we could use the fog to an advantage and create some very atmospheric bridal shots but in fact Helen was quite adamant her dress was to remain pristine – and for good reason! Their first dance was worthy of the attention of the late great Patrick Swayze as Jez swung Helen into the air. Reminiscent of ‘Moulin Rouge’ the moves delighted their guests. Of course it helps that Helen works in dance and Jez in drama but they were almost outdone by their best man who also prepared a show featuring no other than Emma Bunton, Davina McCall and Sharon Osborne, amongst others, playing the role of ‘ex girlfriends’ – hilarious

A great wedding to photograph and great fun – we wish them all the very best for 2011 and beyond!

Got Engaged, Getting Married – What Next?

January 10, 2011 by admin | Leave a comment

It’s been a fantastic Christmas and now it’s official – you are a future bride and groom; future Mr and Mrs. The only thing is you have an awe inspiring list of things to do to make that wedding happen. So here are my tips for what to do sooner rather than later – Choose your preferred date and check availability with your vicar/registrar/celebrant. Without knowing availability for these people you can’t go much further! Once that is done make a shortlist of preferred venues; check their availability and visit them all to see which venue is right for you in terms of service, budget etc (see my earlier blog on venues). Last but not least at this stage is to secure the wedding photographer of your choice. You may or may not have ideas already about what you want from your photographer but there are three key priorities that I would recommend you take into account when choosing. They are, making sure you actually like the photographer; after all they are going to be a major part of your day! Secondly, that you like their style of work; and lastly that you are able to see a full range of weddings and work. This is the most important day of your life – you do not want to chance the visual memories of this day to an inexperienced pair of hands!

Wedding Photography at Tattersalls Newmarket: A fantastic Thank You from Sarah and Glenn

December 24, 2010 by admin | Leave a comment

 It is so important to me that my clients get excellent service at all times and always a great privilege to receive a thank you from a client. Earlier in 2010 I photographed the wedding of Sarah and Glenn at Tattersalls in Newmarket and I wanted to share with you the words that they sent to me when they received their wedding album.

 ‘I met Kevin for the first time at a wedding fayre and immediately I felt at ease. Having my photo taken is not my favourite thing, so I felt that this was extremely important. We were impressed by Kevin’s unique style of photography and the quality and choice of album styles he was able to offer. He could not have been more helpful, professional and friendly. He must have been so busy with many clients but made us feel like we were his only client by providing the most fantastic service. On the day he was amazing. He somehow managed to blend into the background yet also appear on cue to organise family and friends for posed shots that we had requested. We are so impressed with our photos, and as these will be our lasting memories of the day I can not recommend Kevin highly enough. Friends and family have commented that they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen and our album is fantastic – it was just difficult choosing which shots to use as they were all so special!

 Thanks again Kevin. I will continue to recommend you to anyone that will listen to me (!) and I’m sure we will use your services again in the future.

Wishing you a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year

Love Sarah & Glenn’
