Sarah and Martin had a lovely wedding ceremony at Guildford Registry Office, even more special as they were married by a very good friend. Then on to the Manor House Hotel in Guildford, Surrey. A brilliant venue that I know very well. Lots of fun locations for portraits. Thanks to everyone for being so much fun, and to Sarah and Martin’s son Charlie for being so cute!

Gemma & Tom’s Wedding Photos | St Andrew’s Church, Kingswood & Tyrrells Wood Golf Club Surrey

Ian — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 07:51:01 +0000

Gemma and Tom had a gorgeous wedding ceremony at St Andrew’s Church in Kingswood followed by an excellent reception at Tyrrells Wood Golf Club in Leatherhead, Surrey.

I photographed Gemma’s sister’s wedding a couple of years ago, so it was brilliant to see all the family again and lots of friendly faces

There were so many great places at Tyrells Wood for photos, including the amazing tractor shed. I think Gemma and Tom thought I was a bit mad for choosing this as a location when there was lots of beautiful greenery all around the golf course! But, they went along with me and we got some great photos.

Wedding Photographer Surrey – Best of 2010 Portfolio

Ian — Fri, 06 May 2011 11:22:11 +0000

Something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, a portfolio of my favourite wedding photos from last year. I have kept putting it off as it’s such daunting task. How do you select just a handful of photos when you have over 10000 wedding photos to choose from?

Well, I’ve finally done it. You can see the new portfolio on my main website by clicking here. I have chosen photos from each and every wedding I photographed as I think it’s important as a professional wedding photographer to show consistently high quality work. I photograph weddings on beautiful bright sunny days as well as in the depths of winter when it gets dark at 4pm, whatever the weather.

Thanks to my amazing couples, of course I wouldn’t be able to do what I love and capture such wonderful moments without you!

Helen & Adam’s Wedding Photos | Horsley Towers

Ian — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 10:21:51 +0000

Helen and Adam had a beautiful winter wedding at Horsley Towers in Surrey. We had a lovely crisp winter’s day, with blue skies and gorgeous light. A few of my favourite photos…

I love to capture all the details at a wedding. The combination of beautiful shoes, window sill and golden winter light all came together in the photo below, perfect!

(The sun burst was done in camera by the way, no photoshop required! Email me if you’d like to know the technique.)

Excellent first dance, well done guys! Love the movement and colour in this one.

Lindsay & Brian’s Wedding Photos | Epsom Downs

Ian — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 17:46:26 +0000

A lovely winter wedding at Epsom Downs Race course in Surrey. Lindsay & Brian got married in the Queen’s Stand, lovely venue and fantastic views over the snowy race course. Special mention must go to Fergus, Lindsay’s brother for the music during the signing of the register, absolutely brilliant, and everyone was joining in the sing-song. You’ll see Lindsay and Brian laughing during the signing below. Everyone was enjoying it so much that the registrar had to quieten us all and remind us that the witnesses need to come and sign too, otherwise the marriage wouldn’t be legal!

When I suggested a walk through the snow to get some photos with the lovely golden sunset in the background I was expecting an “are you joking?!”. Instead, Lindsay lifted her dress and walked through the snow in open toed shoes to get the shot, thanks guys!

We know who’s number 1 in this marriage… Brian politely went and stood by “2nd”!

The last of the beautiful sunset shines through the window.
