Skinners Hall

What a phenomenal day with Cecilia and James! The Rookery boutique hotel, an unannounced Irish dancing display, the ever-brilliant Skinners Hall, an amazing St Etheldreders Church  service with that great choir, fab guests, the list goes on…

From James:

“The images are everything we could have hoped for! A+! “

Warren House, Kingston

Rebecca and Dexter were married at Warren House in Kingston, my first time photographing a wedding there but we’ll hopefully be back again soon. Wedding venues with a good outside space always work so well in the summer, and there was plenty of space for kids to race around and play giant chess. There was also great light in the getting-ready rooms, something of a rarity, and I’m particularly pleased with Rebecca’s veil-and-champagne picture.

News just in from Bekki:

Wow! We’re so pleased with these, thank you so much! Glad you had a good day, ours was perfect and the party just got better and better!

Thank you so much again to you and Lucy!

Excellent and beautiful shots. All photographs are looking natural. Brilliant!

So many great shots in this set. You really use light well!

Hampton Court

Fiona and Andrew chose a blistering hot day for their wedding at Hampton Court. This can throw-up problems with contrast for us if we don’t tweak how we photograph the day. Shooting into the sun deals with a lot of them, and also a bit of fill-flash here and then will get rid of shadows under the eyes. So cloudy days make for easier photography, but we’d still always choose a sunny one given the choice. Here’s a few favourites from the day.

Buxted Park Hotel

Buxted Park must be one of the most popular wedding venues in the UK, and I’ve photographed half dozen weddings there myself. Tom is a big motor racing fan, and participant, so Marieke organised a ‘drive-past’ of his Caterham car team as they emerged from the church.

 

Writes Marieke:

They are absolutely beautiful! The day went so quickly but we had the best time ever. Thank you so very much, you have captured our friends and family perfectly!

I really love the 11th image!

Cain Manor

Still catching up with blogging our late summer weddings!

Hannah and Scott were married at Cain Manor, Hampshire in glorious sunshine. It was my first time photographing a wedding there, but I hope to return soon. It’s a fantastic Elizabethan manor house with lots of creaking floors and exposed beams.

Great first shot!

Beautiful wedding! I found your site on DWF and just wanted to tell you I’ve loved exploring your site. Happy New Year!

West Heath, Sevenoaks

West Heath is a beautiful 17th century wedding venue near Sevenoaks. It was Princess Diana’s old school and in the room where Lindsay and her bridesmaids got ready there was lots of memorabilia and pictures from her school days.

The staircase was perfect for the confetti throwing – girls on the staircase, guys on the ground floor.

A few days after I had sent Lindsay her packages I received an email:

Thank you so much for the wonderful photos, they really have captured how we felt on the day and I can’t believe how much we laughed! 

You and Lucy were fantastic on the day, both sharing in the fun whilst being completely unobtrusive at the same time. 

We will be in touch soon about albums and prints.

Thank you again!

Great photos! :-)

Claridges

Another great Claridges wedding. They always look after us there, the food in particular is fantastic! It’s something of a shame that photography in the common areas is frowned upon – apparently the celebrity clientele were getting fed up with the paparazzi so one needs to use discretion and imagination…

Zoe and Rob made a great ‘thank you’ card out of one of our images and sent it to me:

Thank you very much for taking so many wonderful photos of our special day! We are very pleased with the results and have a photograph framed on our mantlepiece.

Many thanks again.

Lovely stuff Mr Jones! Very much like the processing of the getting ready shots and you always seem to nail the backlit dancing shot!

Brian - October 26, 2011 - 8:48 pm

David you have captured some wonderful images here!

Hooman - October 27, 2011 - 3:04 am

These images are so impressive. Fantastic use of light and composition. The last 2 dancing photos are great!
