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

Today I was at Mildam House, Portsmouth Register Offices, Burnaby Road in Portsmouth. I was doing the wedding photography for Julie and Paul and it was a great day, with a small family group attending (around 45 people).

After a 12.00pm ceremony and a few family shots on the stair case - we posed for some photos at various locations around the Register Offices before the couple headed off to the Mountbatten Centre for some more photos and an evening and afternoon reception. Despite the gales and showers, we all had a fantastic day.

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.

All the images were available for viewing for Julie and Paul and their families very quickly.

Wedding photographer at Brighton Town Hall.

Today I was at The Town Hall in Brighton, then later at the venue @ Woodhouse Farm at Henfield near Brighton and Hove. I was doing the wedding photography for Helen and Ryan and they were great fun to work with. After the Town Hall ceremony and some photos bty the beach and over near Ditchling and the South Downs  - we travelled over to the venue @ Woodhouse Farm for a fantastic meal and an afternoon and evening of entertainment.

There was a marquee, DJs and a band and fantastic grounds and a lake at the venue which made for great photo opportunities and a lovely environment for an unconventional and relaxed wedding reception. 

I am just putting a few concise details and of course some of my favourite shots from the day here by way of some taster shots.

All the images were quickly available for viewing for Helen and Ryan and their families, but just a few favourites are shown here.  Typically I select a handful of my favourite images and often they are the small selection I have toned or reverted to black and white. Typically, there were over 400 presented to the couple from this 'all day' wedding and so it represents just a small flavour of the day.

Wedding photographer at HMS Warrior in Portsmouth historic dockyard.

Today was a local wedding at HMS Warrior in the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth. I was doing the wedding photography for Rachel and Colin.

The 11.30am ceremony was great to photograph and was in Captains Cabin. We had a great day at this venue and we were very lucky to get great weather conditions - for some great opportunities for photos around the ship. There were only 11 guests and so it was a small event and short day (around two hours) for me.

The website of HMS Warrior is here: www.hmswarrior.org and I always enjoy working with the staff here and particularly new colleagues Roxy and Hayley who now coordinate their events and weddings.

After the photos were completed at HMS warrior I was free to return home and edit them! If you are holding a small or short (ratherthan half or all day) wedding 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 dates free for 2017 and also 2018 at the time of writing this text.

Wedding photographer at the St Thomas a Beckett church in Warblington and the Brookfield Hotel in Emsworth, Hampshire

Today I was at St Thomas a Becket church in my home Parish in Warblington and also at The Brookfield Hotel. I was doing the wedding photography for Lauren and Phillip.
It was a very bright, sunny, warm Bank Holiday Saturday and infact was one of the hottest late August weekends on record.  
After the ceremony we posed for some photos at various locations around the grounds, before the couple and their guests headed off, via a horse and carriage and a short trip to the Beach at Beach Road in Emsworth to The Brookfield Hotel for more photos, a meal and an evening of celebrations.

Same sex wedding photographer at the Great Barn in Titchfield in Hampshire.

Today I was at the Great Barn in Titchfield. I was doing the wedding photography for Ciaran and Rob and they were great to work with. After the ceremony which was on a stage and a few family shots in front of the barn doors  - we did some photos in the vicinity of the venue before we all returned to it for a fantastic hog roast and an afternoon and evening of entertainment.

Unusually for me there was no bride. It was a Mr & Mr wedding! My first this year, I typically photograph at least one same sex wedding each year and enjoy the variety and fab personalities it typically brings to my work. Todays was a very family orientated affair, albeit there were some friends too as there were 120 guests approx in total.     

Owing to a high work load during the summer I am just putting a few concise details and of course some of my favourite shots from each wedding alongside the text. Once updated I will keep it up to date for the rest of the year!

All the images were quickly available for viewing for Ciaran and Rob and their families, but just a few favourites are shown here.
