Corporate days @ Silverstone

We were recently asked to photograph a fun day at Silverstone race track by one of our wedding and newborn clients Tom and although I am used to a slower pace of life:-) we took the opportunity to have some fun and headed up to Silverstone on a beautiful late April day where Tom and his mates were preparing their race bikes for a fun day around the track along with hundreds of other bikers.

We were lucky because we were the photographers to have lots of trackside access so were able to get some amazing photos of the boys clocking up some seriously fast laps,  we chose several locations starting at the bottom of the pit straight and then the top of the pit straight to catch them on the bend but then chose a spot near the Silverstone Bridge corner which was a lot of fun and we got to see both thrill’s and spills but thankfully everyone was ok.

Sue and I do all sorts of sports photography as you are probably aware I am a runner and well into my fitness and have my own fitness blog here but we also do cycling and motor racing to name a few and if you need any sports photography wether its for your club or a corporate fun event please let us know and we will work out a favourable quote.

Engagement shoot at Donnington Castle

Last week we met with Andrew and Hanna for their engagement shoot at the lovely Donnington Castle and we had such a fun time, We had to postpone the shoot a while back because Andrew was not well but I am so pleased we did because the weather was amazing when we went, lots of sunshine although a tad windy but that made for some lovely dramatic photos.

We are joining Andre and Hanna on the last day of May for their wedding at Donnington Grove another popular venue for us.

Here are a few from our shoot, if you would like to book a shoot with us ou chat about your wedding then please get in touch:-)

Nick and Laura May the fourth be with you !

On Star wars day we joined Nick and Laura for their wonderful wedding at the Grand Harbour hotel in Southampton and had the most amazing time. The whole day was filled with lots of laughter, love and amazing dedication to detail which we just LOVED.

We started our day with Laura and 2 of the craziest bridesmaids Helen and Carrie at the Grand Harbour for lots of details and prep shots,  not only did we have the usual shots but we also had Laura’s amazing bouquet that she made herself along with the rest of the details, she is so creative its amazing, there seems to be no end to her creative talents as you will see.  After an hour or so we walked through southampton to the Duke of Wellington pub to meet up with Nick and the lads and our Ring bearer “super hero” Owen who was so much fun through out the whole day.  We took a few fun shots then headed back to Laura who was ready to walk to Southampton Registry office, unfortunately it was super windy but that never put Laura off and we had a lovely walk to the registry,  after a short delay we headed inside and had a lovely service followed by a few photos outside before we headed to the Old Southampton walls for our family photos. Soon it was time to head back to the Grand Harbour for bubbles and then into the wedding breakfast.

After the meal we had the speeches which were a lot of fun and included one from the 2 bridesmaids we mentioned earlier, we then cut the cake then whisked Nick and Laura back outside for some lovely evening portraits and thankfully the wind had died down.  Back inside we soon settled into the first dance at which point we said our good-bye’s.

It was a lovely wedding with a few discreet Star war references including a fancy cake topper and some real cheesy speech references thanks Mark:-) with a fantastic couple and their lovely son Owen.

Thanks everyone for making it a fun day

Simon, Jada and a very cool Ferrari

On Thursday we did the first of our May weddings and what a perfect one to start on, We joined Simon and Jada for their wedding day at Northbrook Park which is nestled on the Hampshire and Surrey borders up near Farnham.  Simon and Jada chose an amazing day to get married we had sunshine pretty much all day and it was a joy to be outside and warm.  We started our day with Jada and the girls in one of the mews and as soon as we arrived we knew we were in for a fun day, the champagne was already flowing and the girls were loving the buzz,  We took lots of details and then walked over to meet the boys who had arrived in a very swanky Ferrari and looked very sharp,  amongst them was our good friend Dave Gaunt who’s wedding we shot many years ago and thanks Dave for recommending us to Simon and Jada.

After a few shots of the boys and the rooms we headed back to Jada for the final few bits before we headed into the filled ceremony room ad after a tense 5 minute wait Jada walked in looking a million dollars and Simon was simply stunned at the bride before him,  we then had a beautiful ceremony and was then led out into the courtyard and through into the spectacular gardens at Northbrook Park for a couple of hours sipping champagne and enjoying canapés in the sunshine whilst Sue and I captured some beautiful relaxed photos of everyone, we also took some fun family photos in the walled gardens and took Simon and Jada off for some creative fun portraits before being whisked back into dinner which was scrummy thanks guys.

As we sat down for the wedding breakfast the bridesmaid stood up and played a fun Mr & Mrs Game which got the whole room laughing and then mum gave an emotional speech before the breakfast was served, afterwards we had the 3 main speeches which if you knew Simon and Jada were just as you would expect Fun Fun Fun.

After Dinner we took Simon and Jada outside again because the light was amazing and we took some beautiful twilight portraits and I am so pleased that we did they turned out amazing, then back to the room for dancing and that saw the end for Sue and I.

What a fantastic way to start our May weddings:-) Sue and I do a lot of weddings at Northbrook Park so if you are getting married there please give us a call and we can chat.

Thanks guys for looking after us and Dave for making me smile the whole day.

Jacob and Camilla get married at Goodwood House

Last weekend we joined Japp and Camilla for their wedding at Goodwood House which is an amazing venue , Glorious Goodwood in fact:-) We started our day with Camilla at her home in Easebourne Nr Midhurst for some lovely relaxed preparation and detail shots, the house was a frenzy with Camilla and Mum and the girls all speaking a very confusing Italian:-) we had so much fun.   After Camilla had stepped into her amazing wedding dress Sue and I headed off to the local Church St Mary’s in Easebourne where we were greeted with a mixture of heavy rain and sunshine, yeah typical spring day here,  We took a few shots of Japp and the boys as well as the guests arriving and then introduced ourselves to the lovely Vicar who was so obliging,  Camilla then arrived in  the very swanky Goodwood Rolls Royce and looked simply stunning walking into the church.   Camilla then walking into a silenced church with a very excited groom waiting for her, we had a lovely ceremony and as Japp and Camilla walked out of the church the heavens opened which although inconvenient timing it did make for the most amazing photos not that I am selfish you understand:-)

Because of the rain we headed straight off to Goodwood House where Sue and I almost kept up with the Roller !  Boy that thing can move,Whilst we waited for guests to arrive we took advantage of a little dry spell and took Japp and Camilla for a few portraits around the grounds where they were greeted by there lovely little doggie Tweed who was just a tad excited to see them. We then headed back to the guests who were now tucked up inside keeping warm and out of the rain, We spent the next hour or so taking some relaxed photos of the guests and wedding party enjoying themselves as well as a few family groups before being called in for a very scrumy dinner, We had some real fun speeches in-between each course and then afterwards cake cutting.

Then as promised the fun really started and the party kicked off, we had so much fun with all the dancing, drinking and singing, the guests not us:-)

Sue and I brought our associate Joanne along because this was a large wedding so Thanks JoJo.  We had such a fun day and would like to thank both families for your patience whilst we tried to overcome the language barrier.

I hope you enjoy this slideshow of photos.
