Bradley and Jenni are two of the loveliest people you could hope to meet. And as performing arts students very happy to be in front of the camera. As were most of their family and friends it turned out. Yay for that! I felt so welcome and had a ball photographing their day.

Engagement photos | Tim & Vicky
Tim and Vicky’s pre-wedding portrait shoot was perfectly planned to be on one of those really warm days we had just at the start of the Autumn! We had a great time enjoying the sunshine as we wandered around getting to know each other and creating some relaxed portraits along the way.
Just loving the autumnal colours…

Kelmarsh Hall wedding photos | Kieran & Hazel
Regular followers of this little blog of mine will know that I think it’s important to have a strong network of other photographers. I have a close circle of fellow wedding photographers, whose work I know and trust, and who have become firm friends, that I would be happy to call on in an hour of need. Competitors we may be but we’re there for each other too. We’re a friendly bunch really.
So when I had an email from another local photographer asking if I could help photograph one of their weddings I was more than happy to help.
It was at Kelmarsh Hall, a venue that I photograph at regularly…
The couple, Kieran and Hazel, had a civil ceremony in the Saloon…
The drive looked stunning with the leaves starting to turn…
Kirean and Hazel are both musicians so music was a big feature of their day. Hazel entered the ceremony to ‘Here Comes The Sun’ which one of their Groomsmen played on the piano …
The obvious excitement and love between Kieran and Hazel, and their family and friends, made it one of my favourite civil wedding ceremonies…
One of Keiran and Hazel’s friends sang ‘All You Need Is Love’ after the register had been signed. Nothing particularly unusual about that; there’s often someone in a family with a special talent. But the moment I *loved* was when Kieran pulled two kazoos out of his jacket pocket and he and Hazel played them in the chorus. It was a complete surprise to everyone, so you can imagine the reactions in the room. This happened a couple of times and then all the guests spontaneously started singing along. The atmosphere was electric and played to the strengths of a civil ceremony – informality and being able to stamp your personality on it.
The ceremony set the tone for a really fun reception to follow…
Everyone enjoyed a relaxed afternoon tea in the Great Hall before heading into the Ballroom for speeches and dinner …
I loved photographing all the DIY details …
Mini-me cake toppers…
The speeches were full of fun and laughter too…
Just love Hazel’s head in her hands at the Best Men’s speech!
All in all a really fun wedding that I was thrilled to be part of.
