Jo & Jonty; A Wedding at the London Wetland Centre in Barnes

When I was asked to photograph a wedding at the WWT London Wetland Centre in Barnes, my first reaction was "I've always wanted to go there!" And then nearly everyone I told about it said the same thing. All I can say is, GO!

What a place. Lets talk observatory, in a stadium of bird hides, this is the managing directors box (?). Choose your spot either down at water level or from the balcony above, and watch the Wetlands unfold infront of you through a huge wall of glass, its an amazing spot.

Now imagine getting married in this space, huge window wall looking out over the birds, surrounded by your friends and family. Thats what Jo and Jonty did, and what a great day it was. There's more to come from this coolest of weddings, but here's a sneak preview for now.

Emma & Harry; A Wedding At Northcote House

Emma and Harry got married in style at Northcote House in Sunningdale last month. Their day had everything, beautiful flowers, an entrance hall and staircase borrowed from Downton Abbey, a best man with a broken leg, two ceremonies, cracking speeches, and a dress to die for. I even learnt how to shoot from a moving golf buggy while holding on with my knees, without killing myself in the process.

Venue Spotlight; Northcote House

Last month we photographed a wedding at Sunningdale Park near Ascot. The venue is set among 65 acres of landscape garden, and nestled in there is the amazing Northcote House, a grade II listed neo-georgian mansion. 

The wedding venue has a large central room, which works brilliantly for bringing all of your guests together when they arrive, or for pre-dinner drinks after the ceremony. Directly connected to this central space, are separate rooms for the ceremony, wedding breakfast and bar, meaning no need for rearrangement in the evening. 

What really caught our eye at this venue was the medieval-esque staircase leading up to the bridal suite, and the pillars that surrounded the first floor. Perfect for that grand entrance!

Flowers for A Hindu Wedding

This summer we photographed a fantastic Hindu wedding at The Institute of Directors in central London. A grand venue in the heart of the city, with an impressive staircase and a menagerie of chandeliers.

Of course one thing that is always key at a Hindu wedding, is colour. These flowers by Roseberg certainly did the job.
