Michelle & Steve – Basingstoke

Michelle and Steve got married at the Basingstoke Registry Office, Hampshire followed by a reception at the Weybrook Park Golf Club. I have to admit that we don’t often photograph weddings at registry offices, with many people now opting to have the ceremony in hotels so I was not sure what to expect. The registry office in Basingstoke has a lovely room with good light for pictures and to be honest, some of the nicest staff I have seen at any venue!  The slide show below provides a selection of pictures from the day and should give you a ‘feel’ for the event.

Helen & Chris – St Leonard’s Church Cliddesden, Alton House Hotel

I knew Helen before she got married, I remember in a previous life working for a company she came for a week of work experience. That was some years ago, so it was a pleasure when she and Chris asked if I would photograph their wedding at St Leonard’s Church in Cliddesden near Basingstoke and the subsequent reception at the Alton House Hotel, a few miles down the road. We started early around 10am and went right through until about 9pm to make sure we captured both the preparations and the first dance, a long day but well worth it.

The album spreads below sum up the day nicely.

Nicky & Simon – Stanwell House, Lymington

Nicky & Simon chose Stanwell House, in Lymington, Hampshire for both their ceremony and reception. Stanwell House is a delightful independent boutique hotel in the heart of Lymington, about ten minutes walk from my house. Being so close meant that I could spend some time during the day, but also easily return in the evening for a few extra shots. The slide show below provides a selection of pictures from the day and should give you a ‘feel’ for the event. Bright sunshine, good food and a super venue, who could ask for more. More details of Stanwell House can be found in the suppliers section

Charlie & Sam – Esseborne Manor

Neil and I were lucky enough to take the pictures at Charlie and Sam’s Wedding at Esseborne Manor at the end of January this year. Its not the first time we shot a wedding there, as it was the choice of Gemma & David last summer but it was the first time that we had done a winter wedding there so the challenge was on to capture the day slightly differently as I knew we were not going to get outside.

It was not until yesterday when I was checking the number of visitors I get to the site that I noticed a massive increase in traffic to Charlie & Sam’s Wedding pictures. This was due to Charlie being an avid poster on the You and Your Wedding Forums, providing a report of the day.

Probably my favorites from the day can be seen below

Alison & Alan

With a church wedding at St. Andrew’s Church, Medstead, Hampshire, and the reception at Marwell Zoo, Neil and I were assisted also by my brother Ned due to the distances between venues and the walk from main reception to the car park at Marwell. Alison and Alan were able to not only enjoy the great food and company amongst their guests but also the delights of feeding the Giraffes as well. Master of Ceremonies was delivered by Alexander Michaels who brought some order and a sense of humor to the proceedings, whilst Apollo Carriages, provided the 1925 Rolls Royce Phantom 1 Sedanca de Ville allowing Alison and Alan to travel between the venues in style. The large house at the centre of Marwell Zoo provided a sense of grandure and atmosphere to what was a cold autumnal day which thankfully did not affect the spirits or the photography.
