Many congratulations to Emma and John Paul who recently tied the knot at Orsett Hall in Essex. It was great to be back having recently photographed Gemma and Mark’s wedding there in April.

John Paul’s family are no strangers to me having photographed his sister Sarah’s wedding a few years ago. So it was good to meet up again and see some familiar faces.

Below are some favourites from the day and please feel free to add any comments. The complete set is also now ready. Just click here and you will be asked for a password which is Emma’s surname followed by John Paul’s, all lower case with no gaps.

Wedding photography at Wokefield Park, Berkshire – Jenn and Nick

 

Many congratulations to Jenn and Nick who recently got married at St Mary’s Church in Burghfield followed by a reception at Wokefield Park. And it was great to be local for a change at a venue and church I know really well.

Below are some more favourites from the day which started with some shots of Jenn at her parents’ home. Then a short drive to St Mary’s for the ceremony and finally on to Wokefield for the reception. A nice, relaxed and informal day all round which had an international feel with Nick’s family over from my favourite part of Italy, Puglia.

As well as below you can see the complete set by clicking here Just remember the password which is Jenn’s surname followed by Nick’s, all lower case with no gaps. Please feel free to add any comments below, enjoy !

mark carey - These are brilliant Neil- I cant help thinking Margaret is a plant for some comic effect. Are you real Margaret?
I dont say this lightly but you are probably my favourite wedding photographer in the country and I say that as I know nobody who has got your innate sense of timing and composition. I have no idea how you consistently produce images as artistic as these. You have a real and rare gift Neil.

Charlotte Bateman - Lovely Lovely photos to remember a beautiful day!

Neil has done a beautiful job. I had the pleasure working with Neil many years ago (when I was 16) and saw hundreds of fanstasitc photos then and he still has a very strong talent.

Thank you for sharing these pictures x x

Margaret Marcombe - I am glad this was not my wedding. Out of all those pictures there were only a few worth keeping. Why the black and white? I couldn’t see several family members no matter how hard I looked.
I feel that Cathryn and Vince have wasted their money. Could have done much better, much cheaper.

June 13, 2011 - 3:24 pm

lyndsey goddard - fantastic images, as always very creative and inspired.

Wedding Photography at The Drapers Arms in Islington – Jenni and Chris

 

 

 

I always love photographing weddings in London – the buzz, the excitement, the variety which keeps the adrenaline flowing. And Jenni and Chris’ wedding was no exception !

I started off with Jenni’s prep shots at The Hoxton Hotel in Shoreditch and then jumped on a double decker bus with some of the guests to the church in Stoke Newington. This was a lovely church with great light and a very accomodating vicar who was also a family friend of Jenni’s. Then a surprise for Jenni and Chris as they exited the church in the form of a dove release. I was really pleased to nail this shot pretty successfully which is sometimes hit and miss. Then back on the double decker to the reception at The Drapers Arms in Islington – a really lovely and intimate pub serving great food.

Below are some favourites from the day and as usual the complete set can be viewed by clicking here. Don’t forget the password which is Jenni’s surname followed by Chris’ all lower case with no gaps. Please feel free to add any comments, enjoy !
