The Bruisyard Country Estate - wedding photos of Luke and Shelley

The Bruisyard Country Estate - wedding photos of Luke and Shelley

Luke and Shelley’s wedding at Bruisyard Country Estate was a doozy (that’s a good thing btw!!)!

Luke is a project manager and it was clear to see how much work had been put into their stunning day. But the attention to detail didn’t detract from the fun and emotion of the day. I hope it’s clear from the photos that the day was also full of life, love and laughter, all nestled in a gorgeous venue that I hope to come back to soon.

The Old Bridge Hotel Huntingdon - wedding photos of Oliver and Zoe

The Old Bridge Hotel Huntingdon - wedding photos of Oliver and Zoe

Ollie and Zoe’s wedding at The Old Bridge Hotel in Huntingdon was super chilled as they were keen to focus their attention on their guests by stripping away some of the usual wedding traditions such as speeches, first dance and cake cut etc.

This meant time pressures were removed and everyone could focus on catching up, eating, drinking, laughing and crying (the good kind!).

The William Cecil wedding photos of Jack and Beth

The William Cecil wedding photos of Jack and Beth

When there’s dancing on the roof of The William Cecil then you know it’s a fun wedding!

I was delighted to book Jack and Beth’s wedding because I knew Beth’s mum through helping out at a charity ball to help The Phoenix School.

I knew it would be a fun wedding because when I asked them to describe their wedding in 3 words they said it would be fun, memorable and family-oriented.

Couple that with the beautiful William Cecil and you have the perfect combo of a fun couple and a great venue.

Holmewood Hall Wedding - A wedding photographer's review

Holmewood Hall Wedding - A wedding photographer's review

The Holmewood Hall wedding venue near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire is one of my all-time favourites. 

I know how hard it is for a bride and groom to choose a wedding venue, so I thought I’d explain what makes Holmewood Hall so great while also honouring this great venue (which also happens to be very near my home!)

Most venues have something that lets them down photographically but Holmewood Hall scores highly in every department. 

The venue is beautiful inside and outside, rain or shine, in every room and in every situation throughout the day.

Let me take you through the typical stages of a wedding and the benefits of choosing Holmewood Hall for each of those stages…

Daniel and Christina had a beautiful Autumn wedding at the majestic Putteridge Bury

They booked me after seeing me photograph a wedding they were guests at, which is always a lovely way to get picked.

Great banter and a chilled attitude meant the chilly weather was barely noticed as we celebrated surrounded by a kaleidoscope of Autumn leaves.

Holmewood Hall Wedding Photos - Mike and Mae

The phrase ‘Beautiful inside and out' most definitely applies to both Mike and Mae and their wedding venue, Holmewood Hall.

Holmewood Hall is perfect for wedding photos but their 3 adorable children did their best to steal mum and dad’s thunder at every opportunity. 

They also tried to steal my dignity with a variety of games, but fortunately I don’t have any!

Crown Hall Farm wedding venue - a photographer’s review

Crown Hall Farm wedding venue - a photographer’s review

Crown Hall Farm is a beautiful new wedding venue near Spalding that launched in summer 2021. If you’ll excuse the pun, its ‘crowing’ glory is the stunning outdoor ceremony location which overlooks their private lake. Outdoor ceremonies are conducted on the boathouse which has tiered seating giving everyone a perfect view.

As one of their approved photographers I was honoured to be asked by Natalie and Lewis, the owners of Crown Hall Farm, to photograph their venue before it launched. I thought it would be helpful to couples to give a photographer’s perspective on what I love about this venue.
