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.

Unfortunately it was raining so much we decided to abandon the shoot and grab a coffee at my house. This actually worked out quite well as we used the time to view some wedding albums and go over their wedding plans. Luckily the rain began to stop and we headed back to the hotel to grab a few shots in between showers.

Sarah & Andy are due to be married in the Stratford Hotel, Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire in September.

The day began with rain & it looked we were in for a wash out. However come 11 am the sun came out just for Claire & James on their wedding day.

I would also like to say a special thank you to Louise Holgate for second shooting for me.

I would like to thank Rachel Wilks and Samantha Pommells from the Flickr group UKWP for all there hard work in making this happen.

Can I also take this opportunity to say a special thank you to Jodie, Clare, Danielle & Greg for being the perfect models. Luckily the rain held off and we managed to get some great images for our portfolios.
