I thought it best to stay close to home so we decided to head down to Shottey in Stratford upon Avon. It turned out to be a good choice as the trees were covered in blossom and we managed to grab some great shots.

We had a lot of fun & I can’t wait to shoot their wedding later on this year in Sudbury.

The shoot was loosely based around a Bridal / fashion theme.

I would like to thank Simon from Hedrock Hair for doing an excellent job on the models hair & Satti B for the fantastic makeup. Also many thanks to our models Karoline Jasek, Esme Howells, Meli Jackson Bellamy, Katie Trotman & the one and only Rakibuk Chowdhury. You all looked fantastic and we managed to get some great shots for our portfolios.

Photographers: Jeff Land, John Warwood, Joseph Nemeth, Yampy Paul Hancox, Kenny Wong, Steve Philips, Andrew Gibbons, Louise Holgate, Konrad Dziedzic, Robert Newman.

I must say this was my favourite portfolio shoot to date, we had great fun and I just can’t wait to go back at the end of May.

Finally I would like to thanks Adrian King for being a perfect host and letting us use Guy’s Cliffe House for our shoot.

Jayne and Jonathan opted for a civil ceremony and were married in the hotels beautiful wood paneled library. This was a small family wedding with just 14 guests which made it easy to remember everyone’s names for once.

Luckily the weather man got it wrong and we enjoyed a perfect warm sunny spring day.

Here’s a few sample pictures…

Many thanks to Louise Holgate for doing a splendid job second shooting for me.

As always we had great fun and a good time was had by all. It was great to see so much talent at work & I can’t wait to see some of the images from the other photographers.

It was far too nice to be stuck inside so we grabbed the opportunity & made full use of the fantastic grounds surrounding the hotel. It’s a shame we couldn’t stay all day as the afternoon shoot went so quickly. Hopefully I will return one day and make better use of the beautiful rooms & fantastic red walled staircase.

A special thanks to the General Manager Alan Moxon & staff at Brownsover Hall Hotel for there hospitality and letting us have a free run of the place. BTW the three course meal was top notch.

I would also like to say a big thank you to Vicki Steel, Satti B & Jess Carter who worked very hard to get the models ready in good time.

All in all there were 10 photographers including myselfJeff Land, Helena Armor, Jitesh Mistry, Joe Nemeth, Kenny Wong, Kari Bellamy, Konrad Dziedzic, Louise Holgate, Paula Brown, Ruth Goalby.

After several phone calls we decided to meet at the hotel and discuss wedding plans on site. It had been snowing the day before so I couldn’t resist grabbing a few shots.

Pre Wedding Shoot at Ettington Park Hotel, Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire

Vicky & Mark couldn’t have chosen a more picturesque wedding venue than the beautiful Barceló Walton Hall. It was a bright sunny day and a great time was had by all.

Here is a sneak peak of some of my favourite shots.

Many thanks to Louise Holgate for Second Shooting for me.

I met the happy couple in the pretty Village of Wilmcote just outside Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire. The village has some fantastic photographic locations including Mary Arden’s House and lots of black & white beamed cottages.

After half an hour or so we decided to head on into town. I must say it was freezing but we had a great time visiting Shakespeare’s Birth place, Nashes Gardens etc. Later we took a walk down to the Bancroft by the River Avon where they fed some Swans Yara’s secret stash of chocolate digestives.

We finished off the day by grabbing some festive Christmas light shots.

The image of Yara and Adam at night was a bit of a challenge to get right, so I would like to say a special thank you to Louise Holgate for assisting me xx

Remarkably the weather was just perfect, we had fantastic clear blue skies with record October temperatures, enabling us to capture some of our favorite images of 2011.

The groom and his ushers were in great spirits as well as being some of the nicest and most considerate guys we’ve met. The bridesmaids were lovely and looked great in their red dresses. Amy just looked simply stunning, the cameras loved her, as you’ll see below. Alex is a very lucky bloke indeed.

The images below are just a very small selection, just to wet your appetite.

Louise & I received plenty of positive comments from many of the guests which we are truly grateful. We had been looking forward to this wedding for so long and were rewarded with hundreds of great photographs.

The rain held off for most of the day and we managed to get some great shots. Thanks Vicky & Carl for letting me capture their wedding day at such a great location.

All the very best of luck to you.
