OMG....I really need to play 'catch up' on this blog!!

There is so much to blog, I just haven't had the time to do it in between shooting weddings, portraits, editing, processing, album design, being a mummy and wife....and sleeping!

So, here's a little quickie until I get the chance to blog properly over the Christmas period.

Suhayla and Damien were married on Saturday. After a church ceremony the reception was held at Dorton House in Sevenoaks.
Dorton House is the Royal London Society for Blind people http://www.rlsb.org.uk/ . A beautiful Grade 2 listed building where all profits from your event go back to the RSLB.

Here are just a couple of shots that jumped out at me whilst editing...

 I'll be blogging again soon but in the meantime....Happy Christmas!

...here is a little sneaky peak from Kate and Craig's small but perfectly formed wedding on Saturday at the Brandshatch Place and Spa hotel.

 I'm still editing and then I will be designing the album but this shot jumped out at me.

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing 7day old baby Aaron.

I love photographing newborn babies, they're so scrummy!

Following on from my previous post showing the gorgeous photograph of the conservatory at London's Syon Park, finally, here is my post showing some photographs from Katie and Brendon's wedding last month.

I loved this wedding!! Katie and Brendon were fantastic to work with, their guests were all lovely, lovely videographer - Dan from From the Hip who was great to work with - fabulous venue and no rain!! I didn't want to leave and could quite easily have stayed longer despite the fact that I was already well past my contracted time.

We started with the preparations at the Waldorf Astoria hotel within the grounds on Syon Park.
Just look at Katie's shoes...

Katie looked gorgeous in her beautiful bridal gown, the way it flowed from the back reminded me of the soft waterfall pictures that you sometimes see - where the waterfall looks like cotton wool. Obviously the dress wasn't cotton wool, but it flowed beautifully!
Brendon looked very smart - despite the mad rush to get ready after his shopping trip to Westfield just a couple of hours earlier - to buy his shirt, tie and bridesmaids gifts!!! Nothing like leaving it to the last minute!! Still, with a little bit of encouragement from me, Brendon was ready in plenty of time to get to the church!

The ceremony went smoothly, it was a mad rush afterwards as there was another wedding waiting to get into the church as our wedding was coming out. I don't know why churches allow this to happen, it's not fair on the couples getting married plus it can be confusing for the guests.

We got back to the beautiful Syon House where we started taking the bride and groom portraits straight away. I love this venue! It's in my top 5 favourite wedding venues.
Once all the guests were back to the venue we did the requested groups, candid shots and detail shots in the stunning conservatory.
Katie and Brendon led their guests across from the house to the conservatory where they all tucked into what was a delicious meal!! It's always a treat when I get served a meal, and I honestly appreciate it because I'm usually starving! This was one of the best meals I've had - I can still taste it as I write this, yummy!!

Anyway, enough dribbling. Speeches were next on the agenda, the best man embarrasing Brendon with childhood tales - which involved a kitchen fire, don't ask!! Their poor mum!

Speeches over, it was time to cut their black and white cake, which smelt delicious. During this time, guests mingled, relaxed and generally enjoyed themselves before the dancing started with the fabulous Micheal Buble act. Talking to him before he started I found out he came from Essex so it was strange to hear him speak in an American accent during his set!!

The dreaded first dance went well and got everyone in the mood and onto the dancefloor.
Finally, it was time to leave but I couldn't leave without doing some final portraits with the cloudy night sky over, which is, in my opinion the best venue in London.

Leading the way to the stunning conservatory...

Gorgeous wedding flowers by Louise at http://www.thecrackedpot.co.uk/ - such a great name!!

Dancing princess...

Micheal Buble....

Congratulations and thank you for looking after us, we had such a great time working with you!!

Now onto the album design....

...by night!

Syon Park was the amazing venue for Saturday's wedding. This venue was where Katie Price's make-up artist, Gary Cockerill married his long term partner Phil Turner which was shown as part of the Channel 4 progamme 'Four Weddings'......on which I have also been on - not as a bride, as a photographer!!

Syon House is also the residence of the Duke of Northumberland.

I will be posting more photographs from Katie and Brendon's wedding once I've edited all the photographs however I just wanted to share this photograph to show off Syon Park in all it's gorgeous-ness!

...come and see us at Brandshatch Place and Spa hotel on Thursday 9th June 2011 from 6.30pm.

We are the preferred photographer at brandshatch Place and Spa hotel so if you are thinking about choosing the hotel for your own wedding please come along.

Last weekend I met up with Emma and Wes for their pre-wedding shoot.

They are getting married later this year and after hearing about their plans, I'm excited!
I love hearing how client's wedding plans are going, it gets me excited about thier day too!

I always find that the pre-wedding shoot is ideal to get to know each other, talk about the wedding and have fun! It's also a great way for me to see how my couple are together, how they interact, body language etc plus it's a good way for me to find out if I have 'blinkers'...those of you with a fast blink rate!

The pictures from the pre-wedding shoot can also be used in a personalised guest book, so that your wedding guests can write little messages in a personalised book....whilst looking at your lovely pictures!

Here are a few of my favourites from the session...

...here are a few quirky details from the recent wedding of Louise and Chris at Cooling Castle Barn, Rochester.

'Splendid' was the word of the day! A fab day was had however the bride and groom wish to remain private so I will only show you the following few details which made me laugh...except for the cheese-cake, which didn't make me laugh because it was just a very nice three tiered cake of cheese but I thought it made a nice change from the traditional wedding cakes.

Last Friday I photographed the beautiful wedding of Sarar and Naysam at The New Mill, Eversley.

I loved working with this couple, simply because of the love between them....they were so loved up and couldn't keep their eyes of eachother!
Sarar looked beautiful in her gown, which was chosen with the help of a friend.

The ceremony was beautiful, very emotional.
The venue was gorgeous, the weather was amazing, the food was delicious and the guests were all lovely!

All in all, a perfect wedding at The New Mill
