Wedding photographer at the Langstone Hotel on Hayling Island

Today I was doing the photography for Cherie and Chris who married at The Langstone Hotel on Hayling Island, near Portsmouth in Hampshire. I have uploaded a few favourite images here from their day and will be showcasing just a few images from each wedding or event I photograph during 2015.

The website for the hotel is here: www.langstonehotel.co.uk I love working at this venue, with its close proximity to my base, great views over the Langstone harbour for photos and very helpful and supportive staff (Franco, Emily and the team). I enjoy working at this hotel and frequently attend their wedding fayres and indeed met Chris and Cherie at one of these some good time ago.

The heavy rain made for indoor photos and wedding day, but this certainly didn't cause the FUN to be dampened at all. Chris and Cherie and their families were great to work with and we got a lovely collection of photos from the day.

I am currently offering some very good rates and discounts for any remaining 2015 dates and into the Spring of 2016, subject to my availability. Please do get in touch - I look forward to possibly working for YOU too.

Wedding photographer at HMS Warrior in Portsmouth and Explosion Museum in Gosport

Trisha and Jimis wedding was at HMS Warrior in Portsmouth and then back over to Explosion Museum in Gosport via a short boat ride. I was at HMS Warrior for about three hours, with a 2pm ceremony. We had a great day and HMS Warrior is my most booked or frequented venue nowadays! The wedding was on the Half Deck and we had bright and very blustery conditions.

The website of HMS Warrior is here: www.hmswarrior.org and I always enjoy working with the staff here and particularly Julie and Emma and Marcus who coordinate their events and weddings.

We then went over to the Explosion museum in Gosport where Siobhan and Ed are always helpful and supportive to me and the fantastic Kevin of locally based Bezani Catering was also in attendance (great food!).

I am having a busy 2015 and so continue to just list a few photos from each wedding I attend. I still have some availability going through this year and I am now offering discounts for remaining dates and ultra affordable mid week options. Please do get in touch if this interests you at all.  

To give you an idea of my workflow - In the last fortnight I have also photographed graduation ceremonies in Bournemouth and Brunel Uni in London, done some family portraits for a local family and done some PR and commercial work for a range of local estate agents, a Charity bike ride event and some store opening photos for a leading high street chemist. Most of my non wedding work is midweek, whereas weddings tend to be on summer Saturdays or Fridays (but not always!). Please don't let my popularity put you off. You can contact me anytime via email or mobile and if I happen to be working and you get through to my mobile - I will always try and call you back as soon as I am free and able to again. There remains a fair bit of availability in my diary for 'late season' or the coming years too.

Wedding Photographer at Spitbank Fort in the Solent near Portsmouth

Today was a local wedding at Spitbank Fort in the Solent near Portsmouth. I was doing the wedding photography for Kirsty and Rick.

The entire day was great to photograph and was in the Crows Nest and look out at the summit of the building. We had a great day at this venue which is fantastic in my view and all those present seemed to have a great day too. We were very lucky to get great weather conditions (there was a sea breeze and a little swell at times) - for some great opportunities for photos around the venue. It was my first wedding and only second trip to Spitbank and I hope to be back soon too. It was fantastic for photography and the food and service was great too.

I was on site for nearly twelve hours in total today and presented over 600 images to the couple. Just a few flavour shots are displayed here to give you some ideas of the venue and day we had.

The website of the Solent Forts is here: www.solentforts.com and I enjoyed working with the staff here and particularly Dom who coordinated the wedding. They were very supportive and positive the whole day long and the food their chef produced was superb too. Take a look at their website and see what else they offer. If you venture out to this venue I am sure you will be amazed at what they offer and the views too!

Having photographed the ceremony and signing of the registers, I myself and the couple then went for a short boat trip in the Forts catamaran (one lap!) and we we then opted for some photos at various locations around the fort, before the couple and their guests headed off to the wedding breakfast and some amazing food.
