  • Welcome to my blog!

    Welcome and thank you for visiting my blog. I specialise in photographing beautiful English Weddings.
    I am based in the heart of the Suffolk countryside and privileged to be able to work at some of the most beautiful wedding venues ......from historic churches and stately manor houses.... to extravagantly themed garden tea parties and quirky tepee marquees.
    I believe that here in England, we have a wonderful rich heritage to draw upon and I love to discover the abundant variety of ways my clients choose to celebrate their special day and to capture the elegance and detail that make up the quintessential romantic ‘English Wedding’.

    Please have a look through the many weddings I have covered and I hope that if you are planning your own special day, you will get in touch.

Spring Wedding in Suffolk

I was asked by Jessica and Luke to do their Dove Barn wedding photography, in April this year. This super cute couple and their family were absolute pleasure to spend the day with. Here are a few of my favourites from the day.

Jessica had chosen stunning bridal accessories and her wedding stationary in particular, which matched her colour theme, was some of the nicest I have seen. She was very calm as she was getting ready with the help of her mother and sister. Dad was also wonderfully relaxed and it was a great atmosphere at the family house before we left for the church. Jessica looked radiant as the car drew up outside the church and you could see that her father was a very proud man as he prepared to walk his daughter up the aisle.

There was very little photography allowed inside the church during the ceremony and by the time it was over, the weather outside had become that familiar mix of sunshine and heavy rain showers and Jessica and Luke had to make a dash to their waiting car.

Luckily, after a few glasses of champagne back at Dove Barn, it seemed that either the weather wasn’t so bad – or it didn’t seem to matter so much ….! and Jessica and Luke bravely came outside to spend some time in the garden for their romantic couple portraits.

The family had worked really hard in the days before the wedding and Dove Barn looked stunning, draped in white muslin with little wicker hearts hanging from the beams. They had also had the clever idea to use scrabble letters to spell out their guests names for the tables and place settings. The cake was absolutely gorgeous too as you can see below.

Great speeches followed the meal and once the couple’s extra guests had arrived, they started off the evening entertainment. I love this part of the day and Jessica and Luke enjoyed the moment, everyone else momentarily forgotten as they were alone on the dance floor for their First Dance.

A Fashionable Affair at Haughley Park for Laura and Sola

The wedding for Laura and Sola at Haughley Park was a very ‘fashionable’ affair. Laura’s stylish take on life was evident in all the gorgeous details and the selection of stunning accessories. When I arrived at her parent’s house in the morning, I was spoilt for choice with Jimmy Choo’s and Christian Laboutin’s to photograph along with the most beautiful wedding dress hung on a large silver ornate mirror. I could immediately see that Laura had wonderful support for the day from her lovely parents and sister and a coterie of loyal old school friends. The gorgeous spring flowers for the day were provided by the fabulous English Rose Florist. For all the day’s pictures, please visit here: http://www.everybodysmile.biz/cgi-bin/public.cgi?Id=148808

Laura’s bridesmaids waited outside the church in anticipation of her arrival and they were soon busy making her dress and veil perfect for her entrance into the church on the arm of her father. I love these pictures of Laura and her father in the car and her slightly nervous but composed look as she arrives at the church.

Out into the Spring sunshine and the new Mr and Mrs “O’ were greeted with cheers from their friends and a cascade of rose petals before they left in their car  for the reception at Haughley Park.

The grounds of Haughley Park offer many wonderful spots for beautiful couple images and it was perfect for the relaxed and natural wedding photography that Laura and Sola had asked for. These timeless and classic pictures below and the others in their album, show what a wonderfully elegant and easy going couple they were and a joy to work with.

Love at the end of a Rainbow for Sophie and Chris

After several downpours throughout the day, there was definitely a silver lining in the dark storm clouds for Sophie and Chris after their country wedding in Suffolk in April. It was in the early evening, as the couple took their first chance to slip outside the marquee for a breath of air, a brilliant full arc rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky above them. Lot’s more pictures soon at: http://www.everybodysmile.biz/cgi-bin/public.cgi?Id=149783

Dove Barn Wedding Photography

Just one for now, of a great couple who were married at their local church in Colchester and held their reception afterwards at the lovely Suffolk country wedding venue, Dove Barn. Wedding photography at Dove Barn is always a pleasure and for this wedding the dining hall looked particularly festive with long columns of white muslin and white wicker hearts hanging from the beams. More of these gorgeous details later but for now, please register here to see all the day’s pictures once Jessica and Luke return home from honeymoon: http://www.everybodysmile.biz/cgi-bin/public.cgi?Id=149782
