Wedding Photography at The Lady Chapel, Westminster Abbey and Inner Temple, London

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012 | Posted in Inner Temple, London, The Lady Chapel, Westminster Abbey

Kathryn and Jason enjoyed the rare privilege of being married in Westminster Abbey this Saturday, The Lady Chapel to be more precise, one of THE most spectacular settings to exchange vows, being watched by past Kings and Queens of England and set within 1000 years of British history. The Ushers were on standby to receive Kathryn as she arrived a London Taxi (the wedding version), and they managed to keep her dry as she made her way to the cloisters and the short walk to the Chapel itself.

Photography isn’t possible during the service so I happily settled for some establishing shots of the Abbey and wide angle shots from the back to include the ornate ceilings and heraldic flags. The gardens that were set aside for the formal family photographs but it was teeming with rain so an impromptu stop within the private residents cloisters were made, and we amiably rattled through the list before anyone got cold, and then on to a pair of London Routemaster Buses to take all the guests back to Inner Temple for the reception.

Priya Patel was on hand at Inner Temple and her staff ensured that plentiful supplies of champagne and canapés was served to restore the guests and and shortly everyone was called through to the main dining room. After the speeches and coffee an unusual alternative to the traditional DJ was setup – the ‘Shellac Sisters’ with 78 speed turntables and an amazing collection of Charleston and dance LP’s from the early 20th Century filled the dance floor immediately.

Wedding Photography at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond

Friday, April 27th, 2012 | Posted in Pembroke Lodge, Richmond

‘Timing’ was the order of the day for Rebecca and Stephen on Sunday for their wedding at Pembroke Lodge in Richmond. Rebecca arrived to be greeted by her bridesmaids, ready for her interview, bathed in sunshine, literally moments later, the heavens opened and a downpour! This mattered little to any of the guests as all attention was on the couple and their exchange of vows and readings.

Erring on the side of caution even though there was a break in the clouds we used one of the reception rooms for the family photographs, and got through them in good time. There then followed, less formally than the service itself a small service, Robin leading a Jewish ceremony and similarly Stephen’s mother, a Catholic reading. Lastly, and by no means least Rebecca’s male side of her family sang, with piano accompaniment, a humerous tribute to the bride’s life. The reception continued, with the wedding breakfast and the speeches.

If anyone had any plans to take it easy after coffee then they had to think again as the excellent ‘License to Ceilidh’ had everyone reeling to ‘Stripping the Willow’ and ‘Dashing White Sergeant’.

Hi Doug and Samantha,

The photos look absolutely stunning, we’re really pleased with them. Thanks so much for such a brilliant and professional service. Douglas has captured the fun and happiness of the day in a very natural way – its clear people were unaware they were being photographed, he was very unobtrusive.

Very best wishes and thanks again,

Becky

 


Wedding Photographer at the Painted Hall, Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, London

Friday, April 27th, 2012 | Posted in Queen's House/Royal Naval College, Greenwich, London

The Painted Hall in Greenwich is a beautiful venue in any weather but at this time of year with a soft light coming through the tall windows it makes for a sublime and atmospheric set of wedding photographs. This light provided the only illumination during the processional walk for Ayme and her father up to the steps to greet Darryl.  I photographed them at an extreme shallow depth of field making for a very strong set of images. Taking portraits of the couple as they exchanged vows there were bordering on similarities with a religious painting, such was the nature of the light that afternoon.

The Old Naval College’s Painted Hall is described as the finest dining room in Europe and its easy to see why, designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor and extravagantly decorated over 19 years by James Thornhill. A wedding reception could not hope for a grander venue so steeped in history.

After the wedding breakfast and speeches, everyone moved downstairs and through to the vaulted ceilings of the room set aside for the dancing, the band, ‘Cover to Cover’ got everyone on their feet.

Wedding Photographed in Crondall, Hampshire and Godalming in Surrey

Friday, March 23rd, 2012 | Posted in Wedding Photography - Outside London

Our wedding venue this week was the picturesque village of Crondall in Hampshire, I met up with Sam and his ushers in The Plume of Feathers to capture the groom with his last pint of beer as a single man! All the last minute checks and preparations were made, button holes secured, orders of service delivered and lunch devoured. I left Chris, our celebrated video guy to his establishing shots and met up with Felicity at her mother’s home nearby, after a few considerations over the placement of the veil it was time for sip of champagne, on with the shoes and ready for the church.

The church,  ‘All Saints’ at Crondall filled up quickly before the service at 2.30pm. Luckily for me there is a long path from the gate to the entrance to the building so I had the chance to capture Felicity with her father and the attending Bridesmaids several times as the made their way to the porch for the final adjustments .

After a few formal photographs everyone made their way to Shackleford and the marquee on the lawn. The marquee had been well planned in that elements of the garden were incorporated into the reception but within the tented area, such as clusters of flowers or small trees which adds charm to the venue.

The speeches were before the wedding breakfast and included a genuinely funny potted history of Sam’s life from the Best Man and a moving speech from Caroline and Emily. Lastly after a dramatic reveal, the band struck up and Sam and Felicity could dance together for the first time as man and wife.I would like to thank them for ensuring that Chris and I were well fed and watered and hope they really enjoy their Honeymoon.
