Happy New Year to all my previous and future wedding photography clients and friends.

 

Happy New Year to everyone. Having been a little slow to post blog updates over recent years I have decided to refresh my Blog, Instagram and Facebook business pages on a more frequent basis in 2024. The effects of the pandemic are clearly still being felt and the cost of living crisis isnt far from everyones minds either at the moment. 

Like lots of people, I have been recovering from a chest infection since Christmas, resting and shooting a couple of corporate / large parties and say around 5-8 houses per week over the Festive period for local estate agents. A number of recent New Year wedding photography enquiries have helped remind me that now is the season for proposals and planning for weddings. So I thought I might post a few 'portfolio' type photos here from recent weddings to help generate some interest in my work.

Especially if you are holding a short (half day or maybe a few hours) wedding ceremony or special event - please do get in touch and check my availability and see what I may be able to offer YOU. There are still some key Summer dates free for 2024 at the time of writing this text. Please do get in touch if you think I can help you. 2025 and 2026 dates are relatively free at the moment. So if you are planning longer term, please feel free to give me a call and together we can help you cross one item off your 'to do' list.

Wedding photographer at St Johns in Southbourne near Emsworth and the Langstone Hotel on Hayling Island

Today I was at a church wedding in my home village of Southbourne, near Emsworth and I was doing the wedding photography for Rachel and Dylan.

The church is fantastic for photos and is very close to where I live and am based. 

After the ceremony and some photos outside the church, everyone headedover to the Langstone Hotel on Hayling Island for an afternoon and evening reception. Thank you to Miles and Franco at the Langstone Hotel who did a fantastic job as usual at the hotel.

Wedding photographer at the Lythe Hill Hotel and Spa near Haslemere in Surrey.

Today was a wedding at the Lythe Hill Hotel near Haslemere in Surrey with Susie and Andy and the hotel and spa was an idyllic setting for wedding photography. The main house dates back to a 14th Century beamed Tudor House and it provided a great backdrop for photos. After the ceremony and some family photos, photos with the couple and a good slot of time in dry weather and good light, everyone retreated back indoors for an evening of entertainment and for a fantastic meal. It was a great day to photograph and I was working with the couple from around midday until first dance at around 8pm.

I also met my good friend and DJ - DJ Joe Smith who was working in the evening at the party. I have uploaded just a few images here from the day and will be simply showcasing just a few images from each wedding as I usually do and rather than trying to tell the 'whole story'. I enjoyed working at Lythe Hill, with fabulous gardens, a lake and fountain and grounds for photos and very helpful and supportive staff. Nicole at the Lythe Hill Hotel was particularly helpful to me on the day.

I am currently offering some very good rates for any remaing 2018 dates and into the early New Year, subject to my availability. Whether it be a wedding, party or other special occasion, I can offer you something different and creative, yet reliable and professional! So, I look forward to possibly helping YOU too.
