A Bride, a Bridegroom, a couple of Bridesmaids,a Best Dog, and even some fairies!
Claudia and Steve contacted me about two weeks before their wedding day, a good friend of theirs had been at a wedding I photographed in the New Forest, and had kindly recommended me to them. The whole day was great fun to photograph, and Claudia had such a classical look to her…..I could have easily taken pictures of her ALL day!
These two were madly in love for each other, it was plainly written all over their faces, and was a joy to capture on camera. Thank you to the Rector Mark at St John’s Stoke Church for allowing me to move around freely during the service. The ceremony is the central part of a couple’s wedding day, and it was a refreshing change to be allowed to photograph it.
Steve proposed to Claudia while they were both stood on a wall, not very romantic you think. But this was no ordinary wall, it was in China and is over 5000 miles long. Now that is what I call romantic!

You have taken my breath away with your fantastic photos. Steve and I have spent the last 3 hours going through them and re-living our day. You have captured it perfectly and to be honest, right now I am lost for words. (Unusual for me!) THANK YOU, so so much… I am feeling very overwhelmed. The pictures are beautiful, special and utterly utterly perfect.
Thank you so much for being a part of our day and capturing images that will last us a lifetime…
