Dorset family Fun in the sun

Whilst I’m out today covering a wedding, I just thought you would like to see a picture of us having a little fun (myself and my family I mean) the other evening at our favourite picnic spot in Dorset, the fab Win Green. You have just got to make the most of this weather at the moment while it lasts haven’t you, fantastic isn’t it :-)

Dorset eshoot in the studio with Kerry & Christopher

Another very wet and windy day yesterday forced Kerry, Christopher and myself indoors for their eshoot. Maybe just as well in a way as we had loads to discuss about their wedding which is coming up very soon at Brympton D’Evercy House in Somerset. Lets hope the sun shines then…fingers crossed ;-)

Big Kids in the Park eshoot with Eve & Ben

I Finally got to meet up with the lovely Eve and Ben yesterday for their eshoot. Ben and Eve are getting married in Charlotte North Carolina USA (for those of you who still didn’t know ;-) ) in December and yes I am privilaged to be going over to photograph it for them. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster of a ride for them, with visa issues etc etc, but finally things seem to be working out and it was great to see them both together after such a long time. You may well have guessed from the title of this piece that Eve and Ben are, well, kinda just big kids ;-) And by that, I don’t mean immature, I mean they love life, love each other passionately and love the fun of just being together and having a laugh! So what better place to play than a playground, oh that and Ben loves to climb… a lot apparently! ;-)

 

Lovely to meet you both finally and I’m really looking forward to your wedding :-) x

 

Here are just a few of Eve and Ben being themselves in the Park!

Corfe Castle eshoot with Rebecca & Alex

I met up with Rebecca and Alex the other day to have a look round their wedding venue, a new one for me, the very fab Harry Warren House in Studland Poole Dorset. After a good gander round we wandered off to Corfe Castle just up the road for some eshoot fun. Rebecca and Alex are getting married outside at Harry Warren on the 3rd September this year, fingers crossed for some more of this lovely sunshine then ;-)

 

A few images from Rebecca and Alex’s eshoot…

Crown Hotel Blandford Dorset Wedding of Hayley & Sean

So a couple of weeks ago saw me head to the lovely Georgian Crown Hotel in Blandford Forum Dorset for the wedding of Hayley and Sean. Very nice to be only 20 or so minutes away from home too, a very nice change indeed!

Anyway, a very lovely sunny day saw a wonderful and touching ceremony followed by drinks canapes and formal photographs in the gardens. Hayley Sean and I slipped away for a few quite moments to give them a little breathing space and allowing me to capture some more romantic shots for the album. Back to the Hotel and inside for the formal wedding breakfast, wedding speeches and of course the cutting of the wedding cake.

The evening kicked off with the traditional first dance and then the dance floor filled and some pretty fancy moves were thrown down too. A little break for the evening buffet and outside for some beautiful Sky Lanterns to be lit and gently sent on their way into the blue black night sky.

Another fabulous day and a fabulous couple…

 

Here are just a few of the many pictures from Hayley and Sean’s wedding….

Down by the Sea eShoot with Francesca & Tim

Last week I met up with the very lovely Francesca and Tim for their eShoot. A very special piece of private family land right by the sea in Poole Dorset, made even more special because it’s where Tim actually proposed to Francesca…at the end of the boardwalk :-)

Francesca and Tim are getting married on the 18th June this year in the lovely Church of St Marks in Burton Bradstock and then heading back to the family home for a wonderful marquee wedding reception.

 

Here are a few images from their eShoot…
