Laura & Mark: Manor House Hotel, Newlands Corner 21st August 2010

Laura got ready at home with her two bridesmaids and parents. As she was ready a little early we headed to the stairwell and got some funky shots with cool lighting. The ceremony & reception took place at Manor House Hotel, Newlands Corner in Guilford. There was lots of giggles throughout the ceremony - It was then outside for fish & chip canapes and the large group shots. As the weather was not behaving the bride and groom chose to have a drive in their wedding car to have some quiet time together, whilst we set up some studio lights indoors so we could shoot smaller group shots in the warm. The immediate wedding party were happy to head outside in the rain to get some lovely shots. After dinner we also took Laura and Mark outside to get some more shots as the rain began to settle down. Once the speeches were over the guests were greeted by a fab steel band and each were presented with a garland - a conga had to be done and it was a really fun moment of the wedding. The chocolate fountain opening started the evenings entertainment. Congrats Laura & Mark - it was a great day and here are some of our favourites as a sneak peak! x

Sam & Mike: St Raphael's Church & The Lensbury 20th August 2010

Sam got ready with her bridesmaids and mother at The Lensbury Hotel in Teddington where the reception would be later in the day. Sam had bought her bridesmaids lovely handmade jewelry to wear. Before they left her father gave her a sixpence for her shoe for good luck & then they headed to St Raphael's Church for the ceremony. The windows in the church were so pretty, so we took the bride and groom back in side for a couple of extra shots. The immediate wedding party then hopped on a boat and took a leisurely trip down the river to the Lensbury. It was super relaxing and a lovely way to travel and arrive in style. Sam & Mike kept laughing and smiling all day it was fab to see such a happy bride and groom. We got all the group shots done before the weather started to misbehave and even took a few more couple shots after dinner. The speeches were great and we got some funny reaction shots too. We left after the first dance and the dancing around handbags had begun! Here is a sneak preview of some of our favourites so far! Congratulations Sam & Mike and have a fab honeymoon! :)
