Wedding Photography Showreel
A Cotswold Manor House Wedding
The Cotswolds, an historic manor house and a great crowd of fun guests … what a wedding for Jon & Taryn at Calcot Manor near Tetbury.
Notley Abbey – a wedding venue gem
Every year I visit wedding venues that are new to me and are delightful locations for that big day. Some seem to spring up from nowhere and Notley Abbey was one of them during 2009. An ancient building with a cool, contemporary interior: beautifully done.
And the big bonus was a dusting of snow for Andrew & Kate just a few days before Christmas.
Fawsley Hall Winter Wedding
Brrrr it was a cold day, but what a cosy winter wedding for Mark & Gail at the elegant Fawsley Hall in Northamptonshire.
Christmas themed orders of service, menus and a rousing rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas to bring guests to their feet.
Fiiiiiiive gowwwwwld riiiiiings!!!
Orchardleigh House… beautiful in all weathers
Some venues just have the wow factor and few more so than Orchardleigh House near Frome in Somerset. Standing in expansive grounds with its own golf course, the house also has the most picturesque church by a lake, so old and isolated down a narrow track that it has no electricity. So, a winter wedding is a candle lit wedding and the organ has to be pumped by hand!
Anthony and Briony welcomed guests from all over the world to their wet, but wonderful day.

Chelsea … on the bus!
Lucy and Bradley had tremendous fun on their big day in London. Following their wedding ceremony at St Marys Church, Clapham, all the guests climb aboard a Routemaster Bus and headed for Chelsea and the boutique style Cheyne Walk Brasserie.

Planned from Oz!
Gary & Kerry had planned their big day all the way from Australia before they moved back to the UK. The elegant Walton Hall in Warwickshire was the perfect setting to reunite families after being so far apart. Their flower-girl daughter Olivia just smiled all day.
Hair Salon Shots
The talented Cotswold based hair salon, Colin John (01608 650883), holds a styling evening twice a year and local aspiring models are invited to apply for a make-over session. Here are some shots from a recent evening …

Viva Las Vegas!
I was privileged to be part of Gary & Donna’s magical day when they commissioned me to shoot their destination wedding in Las Vegas.
After enjoying all the pampering at Planet Hollywood’s beauty salon, Donna made her way to the Chapel in the Clouds; 900 feet up on the 103rd Floor of the Stratosphere Hotel! After a humour-filled ceremony with an excellent Registrar, all the guests went onto the observation platform on the 109th Floor for photographs and the boys rode the Insantity ride which spins you at high speed overhanging Las Vegas!
After a reception at the famous Capital Grill on the Strip, Gary had arranged a private poker game in the casino at Planet Hollywood. And to finish what was a fantastic day, I accompanied the newlyweds in a limousine to tour some photographic locations amongst the very bright lights of fabulous Las Vegas.

The England and Peru Match
No, not football, but the perfect match of an Englishman and a Peruvian lady in the Cotswolds.
Not many people can say that they met while travelling by boat through the jungle in the Amazonas River in Peru. But when Talita saw Mark, she said that it wasn’t love at first sight. “He was travelling as a backpacker and looked like a tramp and my face was swollen because of a bee sting; not so romantic really! Also travelling by boat for 3 days in the middle of the jungle without taking a shower wasn’t the best idea to find your true love.”
But in the heat of the Amazon, true love certainly blossomed and it became the start of an international relationship that lasted over 3 years before their big day at The Lords of the Manor Hotel in the very beautiful Gloucestershire village of Upper Slaughter.
