Carlos & Sam – A Wedding at Old Thorns Manor Hotel.

Friday, May 11th, 2012

I recently posted a sneak peek from Carlos & Sam’s gorgeous wedding day at Old Thorns Manor Hotel. Well, they seemed to go down so well that here are the rest of them, or at least my favourite selection!

Carlos & I go way back (over 30 years!) and it was a real privilege to be a part of the wedding day as he married his lovely fiancée Sam alongside all of their friends and family.

Old Thorns is an amazing venue, with a totally eclectic mix of interior design throughout each different section of the hotel. From a wall of classic movie images, fine art and sculptures, right through to a self-playing piano and a pair of matching thrones. Add a championship Golf Course to the mix, and we really were spoilt for choice when it came to choosing locations for some intimate portraits of the newly married Mr & Mrs Dabreo.

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. Please leave a comment or two – I’m sure that Sam & Carlos would love to see your comments too!

LOST PROPHETS – Southampton Guildhall, 2nd May 2012.

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

The Lost Prophets rolled up in their tour bus to Southampton Guildhall last week for a long overdue visit, and they had plenty of fans more than happy to see them.
I was there on behalf of the Guildhall as usual, although I was expecting the pit to be a little busier with photographers (maybe they heard about the shockingly bad lights!), and in total just three photographers were there to capture Welsh rockers Ian Watkins & Co, complete with megaphone, in their full glory.
I’m sure their adoring fanbase had an amazing time. The band rocked out all of their best known songs and got a great reception. Shooting a lively rock band in almost total silhouette is pretty tricky, but you have to crack on, and I’m pretty happy with this set of images.
No doubt the fans will be hoping to see them back on the South Coast in the near future. If the band bring a few more lights next time, then maybe a few more photographers might hope they come back again too.

If you have a moment, please leave a comment or two below as usual. Thanks! :)

Cameras, Segways & a Balloon-Swallowing Magician – The Wedding of Graham & Natasha Fairbrother.

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

Back in September, I photographed Graham & Natasha Fairbrother’s Wedding in Dibden and New Park Manor in Brockehurst. Being a self-confessed camera geek, Graham also has several pro-photographer friends, so I have to admit to a slight apprehension when I was asked to be their wedding photographer. You can even see from the shot below just a selection of the different lenses and accessories that Graham has managed to accumulate so far, and that currently occupy a room of their own in Graham and Natasha’s flat. Certainly a lot more than I own anyway…

Being a little bit on the fun & funky side, it was important to both Natasha & Graham that this wasn’t going to be just a typical run-of the mill wedding – so bring forward a convoy of speedy Wedding Segways for guests to roam around the venue, and a crazy balloon swallowing, bunny hiding, Egyptian Magician called “Gully Gully Man“, who Graham & Natasha met first when he was performing in Winchester!

This was the first time I’ve been a Wedding Photographer at New Park Manor, and it will certainly be one to remember. Mr & Mrs Fairbrother, thanks for asking me to be part of your special day – it was a blast!
Below is a selection of my favourites from the big day – Please leave a comment if you like them!

From Santa Cruz to Oxfordshire: The Wedding of James & Rhea Dennis

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

You may have seen the Sneak Peek of James & Rhea’s wedding posted earlier on the blog, so here is a selection of my favourites from the rest of the day.

James & Rhea now live in Santa Cruz in the warmer climbs of California, so it was great to be able to photograph their wedding – although unfortunately for me it was back here in the UK! That said,Weston Manor is a fantastic and beautiful old English hotel outside Oxford, and was a perfect venue for such a classic and traditional English Wedding. Having photographed James’ sister Lisette’s wedding last year, it was also a real pleasure to be asked back to photograph another wedding in the Dennis family.
I’ve selected a few shots here from my favourites, and I’d love to hear any comments you may have.

James & Rhea – You guys were fab and I thank you very much for allowing me to photograph your day!

Sneak Peek: James & Rhea Dennis

Friday, January 13th, 2012

Back in October, I had the great pleasure to photograph the beautiful wedding of James & Rhea Dennis, at the gorgeous Weston Manor near Oxford. It was the second wedding in the Dennis family within 14 months, as I’d photographed James’ sister Lisette’s wedding in September 2010 (Follow the link to their post on my blog).
A full set of images from the most recent Dennis family wedding will appear here soon, but in the meantime, here is a little tiny taster of James & Rhea’s day to keep you going…
