To the Lansdowne again, to get the new season off to a flying start. We have a record number of photography bookings for this time of the year, so there should be lots of great wedding images to show in the coming months. Watch this space!
This is the last of my 2010 weddings that I’ll be blogging. A vintage year, I think, and the overall impression to me is that weddings are becoming increasingly varied. We’ve photographed at a humanist ceremony by a lake in West Sussex, a 1940′s themed wedding at the Cabinet War Rooms, on a boat on the River Thames, a wood in Cambridge, a seafood restaurant in Margate, as well as the more traditional churches, hotels and marquees.
Jenny and Tristram enjoyed a seriously chilly day in a lovely old village church and marquee. It was a great day for us as photographers, although nipping into the church a few seconds before Jenny entered I nearly had an equipment crisis… The vastly different interior and exterior temperatures had caused my lens to suddenly fog-up with condensation and without a quick polish the pictures of Jenny and her Father coming down the aisle would have been lost. One to remember for the future…
One of Jenny’s relatives runs an Events Co-ordination company and was responsible for the marquee and fabulous table-settings. A useful connection for a bride!
And finally…
I can’t decide if it’s my favourite picture from 2010, as there are so many to choose from! It was probably one of the trickiest to take, as nimbly skipping around a bustling dance floor trying to compensate for ever-changing disco lights does not usually a great photo make…
But it was without question my last picture of 2010.
Happy New Year!

Hi David,
There are a few images in this (Jenny and Tristram) I absolutely LOVE. The rest are demoted to just amazing!:-
1. The side on portrait of the girl, catch light in the eye, hat brim just visible – stunning
2. Your last shot of 2010 – you are going to struggle to better that in 2011. An outstanding shot.
I am photographing my first (and hopefully last – too much responsibility!) wedding this year. I shall have you and your work very much in mind as I do it.
I had the condensation problem repeatedly in the Maldives in December – very irritating – but I did get one or two shots I liked – I shall send you one for fun.
Best wishes
David

How convenient that Launton church should have a converted tythe barn right next to it.
Here’s a few of my favourites from Daniel and Lara’s big day.

I will take a look at the book options and let you know once Lara and I have gone through all the photos.
Thanks again and will be in touch soon.

Truly amazing wedding photography. Love the location and awesome couple! You did a super job! Thanks for sharing.
I think winter weddings are growing in popularity – we did five in December! I can see the attraction. Often the light is quite special, and the atmosphere can be very Christmass-y, but the amount of snow that fell this year wasn’t something we’d bargained for. By leaving a huge safety margin we managed to keep our 100% punctuality record.
Another visit to the 170 yr old institution that is The Trafalgar Tavern. More snow this time then the last time we were there, though.
Natalie sent me a smashing email:
The DVD arrived this morning, it looks so great, thank you again for all your hard work and for making our day so special.
I had such a great day and you have done a fantastic job capturing the special day for Lee and I.

I could hardly have asked for a better day. Not only were Pippa, Jonno and their guests the grooviest, happiest, most relaxed bunch of people to photograph but the ceremony and reception was less than a mile from my studio……For the first time in my wedding photography career I walked to work!
Pippa used to be a teacher in Dulwich Village and a choir of her ex-pupils were on hand to sing in the chapel. Not a bad work benefit.
Here are a few of my favourites from Dulwich Chapel and Dulwich College.

Your compositions are very unique, I love them! Beautiful wedding photographs.
Beautiful pictures! I love the wedding venue, so classy! Thanks for sharing!
Good stuff. I love your wide angle shots.
Fiona and David chose a great venue in The Compleat Angler on the banks of the Thames. I hadn’t photographed a wedding here before, but the location, and the boat ride for the Bride and Groom post-ceremony, looked great.
Hi David
Thank you ever so much for the discs! It brought all the amazing memories flooding back. It also seems like everyone spent the whole day laughing!
Thanks once again. You were brilliant and we will have no hesitation in recommending you.
Kind Regards
David

I got to admire your style. Great use of available light, brings up the ambience of the event. I love the backlight on your subjects. Nicely done. Congratulations!
Many of my clients are referred to me by couples I’ve previously photographed, and it’s always nice to be working for people who were guests at a wedding. Nikita and Dan were another couple that found me through Karen and Simon’s wedding in 2005, and the list of happy weddings from that one I’ve photographed seems to have no end!
Orchardleigh in Somerset as a wedding location is clearly beautiful choice. 550 acres of parkland and it’s own resident church helps somewhat…
Hi David,
You’ll be pleased to know that I made it to the sorting office to collect the package and Nikita & I have just finished looking through the photos.
They are superb, just perfect in fact. We are both so, so happy with them! We knew that you’d do a good job, but they really are wonderful – especially the ones taken in the evening sunlight.
Thank you for all your hard work, we really do appreciate it, and thank you for making the photography so ‘stress free’ on the day (well, for us anyway!).
all the best
Dan

Your pics and blog are just wonderful. I’m a portrait and wedding photographer in San Jose, I know that it’s hard photographing outstanding pictures. I’ll be back to see more! Mike-DWF
Beautiful! I especially love the prep shots.
A fantastic wedding day in town and country. This was the first wedding that Wandlebury Ring had hosted but it was a roaring success.
Verity was wearing some amazing shoes….
Hi David,
We are taking a break from the endless tourist-trap that is Florence to check emails and saw the photos which was a wonderful surprise!
Verity and I had the best day ever, thanks so much to both of you for capturing it so well, we are delighted you had that weekend free!
Have a great week.
All the best,
Tom & Verity

Beautiful wedding pictures! I love the colors you use. Such great smiles you captured. The black and white hug photo is absolutely one of my all-time favorites.
I love these photos. What a beautiful bride, and I love the wide angle shots!
I love this series of images. Your work really stands out and is quite inspiring for me, a fellow wedding photographer in Seattle.
