Wedding photographer at St Marys church on Hayling Island in Hampshire

Today I was at St Marys church on Hayling Island, which is very local to me. I was doing the wedding photography for Donna and Hugo and it was a great day, despite the rain, with around 30 people attending. It was a local church I had photographed numerous times before and is a great location for a wedding.  

After the ceremony and a few family group shots within the church grounds and indoor shots around the central altar, guests, family and photographer also - were off to the fantastic Newtown House Hotel for a meal and an afternoon and evening of celebrations.

Despite the poor weather the day went well for me, the couple and the guests, with St Marys providing a great backdrop to the group photos. The Vicar Nick at the church was also great to work with and was helpful to me too.

All the images were available for viewing for Donna and Hugo and their families very promptly.

If YOU are getting married this year - Please do get in touch and see what late availability, or special offers I might have available for YOU!

I have been very busy with other commercial work lately - Graduations, property photography for estate agents and lettings agents and other events, but I shot fewer weddings in 2025 than in previous years. So it was a welcome change to attend this small local wedding & to meet and share time on this special day had by Donna and Hugo who were very happy and fun people to work with.

Wedding photographer at the Portsmouth Register Offices in Burnaby Road, Portsmouth.

Today I was at Portsmouth Register Offices. I was doing the wedding photography for Grace and Aaron and it was a great day, with a mainly family group attending (around 45 people). It was the first time back at this popular and favourite Register Office for me for a long while.

The Portsmouth Register Offices is one of my favourite Register Offices to cover, as the space and gardens are fantastic and the staff are always helpful to me too. It was great to see some familiar faces again at the Register Offices.
