Denise & Gavin - Moorpark House

Its always a pleasure to be invited back to photograph brides from the same family, not only to be able to see friendly faces, but also it is a great compliment to me and one which I take quite seriously.  While Denise and Gavin chose to get married at Moorpark House in a warm winter festive atmosphere, Denise's sister and bridesmaid, Lynn was married to Graham on a very wet summers' day in 2010. Two  quite different days, especially from a photography perspective, the dark winter days give photographers quite a challenge, but not one that I don't enjoy rising to, especially with an adventurous bride & groom like Denise & Gavin! 

Denise & Gavin were fabulous, relaxed from the start and full of fun. They really pushed the boundaries, going outside for late evening photos despite the wet and freezing conditions. This 10 minute venture gave us the opportunity to capture some really magical images reflecting the atmosphere of their special day. 

Denise looked beautiful and, like her sister, had a wonderful  playful way about her. The two girls were great together while getting ready, joking and laughing just like you imagine sisters should be, and so it was no surprise to us when we captured this portrait of Denise, showing just a hint of her wonderful mischievousness.

We have to give a special thanks to Jackie & Graham from Moorpark House who went out of their way to help us and to make sure that we could do our job swiftly and easily - thank you!

What a lovely wedding day to end our year! Denise and Gavin, I hope that you enjoyed your wedding day and these taster images.

Donna & Steven - Moorpark House Hotel

Donna and Steven got married on a very cold and wet day but this was definitely not going to dampen the spirits of this lovely couple. After a last minute whirlwind of hair, make-up and bridesmaids getting ready, Donna finally had her dress on and we were struck by how beautiful she looked, just like a princess! I left her in the capable hands of her bridesmaids and Bob from Ivory Choice Bridal Cars Ltd who transported her in proper Beauford style, getting her to the church relaxed and on time. 

Steven who was already waiting at the church, looked very smart in his full highland dress and with his boys in matching attire, they definitely looked the part..

At Moorpark House Hotel, we managed to get a few photos outside but the weather did force us to be a little more inventive and to use the wonderful stained glass windows and mirrors inside this wonderful cozy old house. 

Donna and Steven, I hope that you enjoy these few taster images while you wait for the rest.
