On Wednesday I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely Laraine and James's wedding at Cooling Castle Barn in Rochester.

I love photographing weddings at Cooling Castle, and as their recommended photographers we never get bored. The venue is perfect in everyway and the food is fantastic too!
The weather was a little disappointing, considering it had been so nice and warm (for April) in the lead up to the wedding however it did brighten up later in the day which was nice.

Laraine looked fabulous in her Alfred Angelo halterneck gown....her eyelashes looked great too . James looked very smart in his suit and tie which matched the beautiful bridesmaids dresses perfectly! I heard him say that he couldn't wait to see Laraine as she walked down the aisle to meet him....and the big smile on his face as his bride appeared just said it all!

Overall it was a fantastic day and Laraine and James's make a fantastic couple....and to those who attended their intimate ceremony, it's true what the registrar said at the end of the ceremony...and no, she doesn't always say it!!

I'm still editing and catching up with myself however here is a little sneaky peak.

Congratulations guys and thanks for looking after me so well!

On Easter Sunday I was priviledged to cover the wedding of the very lovely Justin & Emma at the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire.

I hadn't worked there before so I left home early which allowed me to get there in plenty of time to have a good look around the hotel, meet George - the best wedding co-ordinator I've ever met - and have a coffee before I met the bride in her suite.
It was a lovely dry, sunny day but was seriously cold and very windy which was a shame as it meant we didn't venture outside for many photographs. Still, it didn't matter because after the ceremony I took the bride and groom for a wander around the beautiful hotel for photographs.

Emma looked absolutely stunning in her bridal gown which suited her perfectly and her gorgeous sparkly Christian Louboutin shoes. Emma was accompanied by two adult bridesmaids who wore gorgeous long white dresses with a long black thin bow to compliment the black and white theme of the day. Emma also had two little flowergirls who both loooked beautiful. The bouquets of pink calla lillies with sparkly crystals finished off the outifts beautifully!
Justin looked handsome in his black three piece suit and very shiny shoes. Justin had two best men who did a great job with their speech and also by his son Louis, who looked like a mini James Bond in his suit. We had to get a shot of the boys with Justin's Aston Martin!

During the wedding breakfast the guests were entertained by the very clever magician Spencer Wood who had everyone asking "how did he do that?"! Very clever stuff and I'm sure guests are probably still scratching their heads now wondering how he did the bottle and clock tricks?!

The day was a very personal and initimate affair and couldn't have been more perfect!

One for the ladies.....who can resist these beauties!
