Have a look at the wonderful June wedding of Nadine and Matthew I was lucky to be part of. I will type more about it on the part 2 occassion simply because… I’m already late for today’s e-session! Very few words then, and I’ll leave the images to tell the story. Huge thank you to Jaro who assisted me at this wedding, it was an absolute pleasure working with you mate.

Simply gorgeous! LOVE the tones in the bridals and the couple shots!
Amazing photography as always, love your work! x
Qucik update on my published work. Of couple of things coming up this is one of my favourites (maybe because I like this image a lot!) full page spread in Beauty section of Confetti Magazine. Please note that the cover shot is NOT mine (maybe next time?) Huge thank you to people who collaborated with me on that photo shoot: Rebecca Shepherd for modelling, Helen & Andrew for the dress and accessories ( ‘do you believe’ bridal shop’s website ) and Sarah Terry for her make up and hair work ( Sarah’s website ).
And here is the link to more images from this bridal session, http://www.phototom.co.uk/blog/fashion/bridal-session-2/2661 I never had time to edit more, but one day when summer weddings are over I will come back to those digital negatives and put my hands on them for sure….
My headache went away so here’s part 2 of Frances and Rob wedding – couple photoshoot, late afternoon and evening.
I have to say Frances and Rob’s wedding day was thoroughly enjoyable in every aspect. Good weather, warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere, delicious food that I was lucky to taste, fun bunch of friends & family and most importantly bride & groom – at ease, down to earth, positive about everything. I could spread my wings during the couple photo shoot as it lasted a good 40 min whilst both Frances and Rob were up for trying quite a few different ideas. I loved the fact that we walked and the scenario was changing – as well as the weather; sunny intervals is my most favourite weather as it provides beautiful variety for photographs.
Throwing the bouquet was fabulous, it would work absolutely perfect with second photographer on alternative lens (focused on the girls catching) but I was photographing this wedding on my own so had to do my best with just one pair of hands. And the cake – haha, makes me chuckle when I look at the images.) home made wedding cake was all sliding when attempted to form three layers; you can see how it’s falling apart when the couple tries to pose with it and formally ‘cut it’.)) But in all honesty I don’t think it could work any better for the atmosphere and photogrpahs, LOVE the moments it created, guests with their cameras laughing at the whole scene, panic in bride’s eyes – everything. So natural, fun and… real.
I hope you like the two sets of this totally rocking wedding celebration. Frances wanted her wedding images to be all in colour, that’s why you won’t find pretty much any black and white images here. From my side I was tempted to turn some into monos but the client’s wish was more important than my personal taste. I do agree that this almost entirely outdoor summer wedding looks very good in colour. Do you think? x
I brought my’million per minute’ bubble machine and guess what – it ran out of batteries. I obviously had spare batteries in my camera bag but it turned out that I needed a screwdriver to open the battery box! That I did not have on me (there are loads of things in my camera bag but screwdriver isn’t one of them… I’m a girl for God’s sake!) So – this was the one and only bubble image I managed to capture before the machine went entirely kaputt. :)
I suggested to Rob to take his jacket off and throw it over his shoulder, whilst doing so he realised the label hasn’t been taken off yet! He must have been rushing to the church in the morning.
Thank you for getting till this point.

wonderful
I should have left a comment the first time I looked at this wedding. I wish more couples would ‘do it’ like this. I am glad I saw the superb lantern shots as my couple next weekend are having them too.
I’m so glad you live far away from me Aga……I would loose so much work to you if you were near me.
Ha ha ha what a wrong joke! Az you broke my heart, I thought you’d very much like me live closer!
This wedding was totally different , informal and beautiful, I really enjoyed it. Lanterns are great to shoot, you’ll love it! xx
How fun was this wedding!!
Your images are inspiring!
It is a real pleasure to show you a full story (well – part 1 of it as it’s so big I need to split it in two!) of the wedding day different from any other I’ve ever seen.
Frances and Robert got married on the 11th of June 2011 in Church of Saint Mary, Craswall followed by drinks, canapes and speeches at bride’s parents’ front yard leading to an evening barbeque and dance arranged in their back yard by the river. Majority of the guests were camping on the field nearby. I met Frances and Rob at this place for their pre wedding shoot, not sure if you remember the thunderstorms we were witnessing that day (http://www.phototom.co.uk/blog/portrait-photography/frances-and-rob-e-session-sneak-peek/3013) so I knew what to expect in terms of the scenario and location of the wedding.
Majority of this stunning day was hand and home made by the bride and her family/friends. Frances made her own wedding dress which fit just perfect in the whole rural wedding theme. I loved the wild flowers from the local florist – wonderful, absolutely wonderful bouquets and compositions decorating the church. Local village church also fit perfectly the countryside wedding theme – traditional, with exposed timber roof and white painted walls provided beautiful light and made it a very photogenic ceremony place. I was lucky again to be allowed to photograph from next to the altar so could see the wedding couple and guests for most of the time, and even move around during hymns.
The weather was playing games but in the end the day turned into sunny intervals and the speeches planned to happen in the front yard outside took place as arranged. We had to rush back from the church as it started raining pretty heavy, but other than that I can say we were very lucky. I actually love the looks of all the umbrellas!
The below set contains images from the early morning till the end of speeches. After that together with bride and groom we went for a walk to get some portraits done so I will show them in the separate post. There will also be photographs of cutting the cake that didn’t want to stay in place, throwing the bouquet, first dance and at the very end lanterns being released into the sky. All this on the next post occasion (probably later tonight) but for now I hope you enjoy the part 1.x x
What an amazing day you have captured it perfectly, I loved looking at this wedding and your wonderful work. Off to look at part 2
Amazing photographs!!
So many great images from one wedding. Love those KILLER!! ring shots.
I love it!!
