Wedding Photographer at Horsham Register Offices in West Sussex

Today was the last July wedding after a very busy month and at a new location for me – Horsham Register Offices in West Sussex. I was doing the wedding photography for Lauren and Jeremy.
The ceremony was enjoyable to photograph and I was supported by a couple of very friendly and supportive Registrars.
We were lucky to get dry and sunny conditions, for some great opportunities for photos around the attractive gardens to the rear of this town centre historic building. Having photographed the ceremony and signing of the registers, we opted for some photos at various locations, before the couple and their guests headed back to their family home and an afternoon and evening of celebrations.
The website of Horsham Register Offices is here: http://www.westsussex.gov.uk/living/births_marriages_and_deaths/marriages_and_civil/ceremony_venues_in_west_sussex/ceremony_rooms_in_registration/horsham_registration_office.aspx and I thoroughly enjoyed working with the staff here, who were all very polite and helpful to me and the couple and guests. The gardens at the back of the building were fantastic, along with the rear elevation of the building, which made for as great back drop for photos.
The images will be available for viewing for Lauren and Jeremy and their families very soon.

Wedding Photographer at Portsmouth Register Offices

Today I was at Portsmouth Registrar Offices for a second wedding. I was doing the wedding photography for Shirley and Peter. I still cover a number during the week and particularly local ones through the school summer holidays. I rarely cover two weddings in a day, but it can be feasible at locations like Portsmouth Register Offices and if the couples each book just short time coverage.
After the ceremony and a couple of shots on the stair case - we posed for some photos at various locations around the Register Offices before the couple and their guests headed off to The Rifle club for a meal and an evening of celebrations.
The Portsmouth Register Offices is one of my favorite Register Offices to cover, as the space and gardens are fantastic and the staff are always helpful to me too. You can see their website here: www.portsmouth.gov.uk/living/580.html

Equestrian event photographer for Wey Valley Riding Club at Farnham Showground

Yesterday was a typical Sunday in photo land for me. I was doing the 'official photography' for Wey Valley Riding Club at their Show Jumping Gala at the Farnham Showground.

In case it was different where you were - it was a windy and wet day, with heavy and blustery showers & this makes for difficult conditions for photographing a horse show. The light was good and having generally mastered the conditions, I managed to capture a good range of images of the majority of the riders.

The day seemed a great success and was superbly coordinated by the volunteers at the Wey Valley Riding Club and in particular Nicky and Storme who I now know very well. Its always a long day for the organisers at these events and a lot of work goes on behind the scenes to make them such a success.

This was my first trip to the Farnham Show Ground. The venue hosted a great event and was easy to locate, unlike some, being immediately off the main road leading out of Farnham.

My contact for all the WVRC events is Storme and she can be contacted on 07765 124 955 or stormewhit@tiscali.co.uk or via their website at: http://weyvalley.wordpress.com/

Wedding Photographer at Edes House in Chichester and The Spread eagle Hotel in Midhurst, West Sussex

Today I was covering the wedding photography for Sally and Gavin at Edes House in Chichester and The Spread Eagle Hotel in Midhurst. It was a 1.30pm ceremony, although I was working ‘all day’ at this wedding and so went to the Hotel to capture some images before Sally and her Dad left in the white Rolls Royce wedding car.
You can view the website of Edes House here: http://www.chichester.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=1891 and you can get more details from the website and the staff who were present on the day, who were all very helpful to me and advised us all throughout the ceremony. Not exactly fantastic July weather conditions, so - some indoor group photos, umbrellas and quick dashes between locations was the order for the day.
A short drive North of Chichester - The Spread Eagle Hotel and Spa was also fantastic from a photographers perspective and I was supported by Horace Yearwood-Grazette, Operations Manager, throughout the afternoon and evening. The staff at the hotel were exceptionally welcoming, helpful and friendly towards me and the guests. I am sure that the guests and the couple had a fantastic day – thanks to the staff and this memorable and luxurious hotel.
You can see more about the Hotel via this link, or via the link on my website links page:

The images will be available for viewing for Sally and Gavin and their families very soon. Just a few of my personal favourites are shown here to give you an idea of the beauty of these two locations & this fantastic wedding I was fortunate enough to cover.
