On what was a very cold and snowy Easter weekend we joined Kimberley and Andy for their wedding on the Saturday which was help at the lovely Rivervale Barn in Yately Nr Camberley,  Sue and I are very lucky in that we travel all around the UK photographing amazing weddings and one of our favourite venues of late has been Rivervale Barn, the light is amazing the grounds are just beautiful and together this makes for the most amazing wedding venue.

We started our day with Kimberley and the girls in the preparation bedroom for some lovely relaxed detail shots as well as Kimberley stepping into her beautiful wedding dress.  We then met with Andy and the boys, Andy, Andy, Andy and Liam,  yeah it was confusing:-) It was not too long before the harpist started playing and we were led into the ceremony room, First the bridesmaids and then our beautiful bride who looked simply breathtaking. As her Daddy walked her slowly down the isle she never once broke her gaze from Andy, it was so romantic and the silenced room just watched and watched.  After a lovely ceremony we headed back into the main barn for drinks and nibbles and then out into the chilly courtyard for family photos which we finished pretty smartish:-)

We then took Andy and Kimberley out into the gardens for some portraits where it was just starting to snow,  can you believe it Snow at Easter !!! thankfully it never came of anything and after a few lovely and very well planned portraits we headed back into the warn and into the beautifully decorated wedding breakfast. After a wonderful wedding breakfast and some rather emotional speeches we setup our Funtime fotos which is our wedding photo booth and we started the fun:-) we broke away to photograph the cake cutting which was a selection of lovely cupcakes and a top tier of lovelyness all covered in the most amazing sugar flowers. Then out to the Band for the first dance then back for the last hour to finish our Funtime before Sue and I said our goodbyes and headed off home after a very long but so much fun wedding day.

It would be wrong if I never game a massive shout out to everyone for making the day so much fun but none more that Andy and Kimberley,  cold and snowy goes so well with those warm and wonderful smiles.  Thank you X

Hampshire wedding photography Ben and Zoe get married

Posted inHampshire wedding photographer,relaxed wedding photos,reportage weddings,Weddings by Jules,Weddings by Julian Porter,Weddings by Sue Porter

On Saturday we joined Ben and Zoe for our first wedding of the year and it was the perfect start, the wedding was at Lainston House in Winchester which is a lovely local venue and suits our British weather:-) thats a nice way of saying its fab in the rain:-) which to be fair is a good idea because for the most part it was a shocking day although we had pockets of sunshine which we all made the most of.

Ben and Zoe are a lovely couple and as we often do Sue and I just knew the wedding would be fab, both Doctor’s and both with killer smiles its difficult not to love them, We started our day with Zoe in the bridal suite with mum and the girls and it was a real good fun filled and champagne fuelled pre wedding party, we then went outside to meet with Ben and his 2  best men for a few relaxed photos in the grounds and of course the details.  We then moved back to Zoe for final dressing and walking to the wedding ceremony which was a candle lit romantic barn, as Zoe walked in with her Dad there was a gasp of excitement and all eyes towards her Ben’s included and she looked absolutely stunning in her Jenny Packam dress and shoes flanked by a very proud dad.  The ceremony was beautiful with a couple of nice readings then outside for 5 minutes for a few photos before the rain came back,  After 30 minutes chatting and drinking we headed into the fireplace area for family groups as well as a few important family members on the beautiful stairs before we again headed outside for a few portraits,  we had so much fun dodging the showers and it made for very dramatic and  beautiful photos.  We then headed back inside before the everyone shot on the front grass whilst it rained and then into the beautifully decorated barn for dinner.  After dinner we had some lovely and very emotional speeches and thats when Sue and I finished what was a fantastic start to our 2013 wedding season.

We would like to thank Amy and Jarred who’s wedding we shot last year for recommending us and everyone at the wedding for a great day.

Ben and Zoe,  you guys were amazing, we had such a fab day and this wedding will be hard to beat this year.

Have a wonderful Honeymoon

Jules and Sue xx

Last week we met with Ben and Zoe who’s wedding we are photographing in March.  We met at Lainston House in Winchester for their engagement shoot and we chose a lovely day for it, it was a little foggy but dry so we had a lot of fun walking around and chatting through the wedding day as well as taking some lovely photos.

Hampshire wedding photographer – Scott and Kim get married @ Rhinefield House

Posted inHampshire photographer,Hampshire wedding photographer,New Forest Weddings,Rhinefield house weddings,Weddings by Jules,Weddings by Julian Porter,Weddings by Sue Porter

On Saturday Sue and I joined Scott and Kim for their lovely Autumn wedding at Rhinefield House in the heart of the New Forest national park for what turned out to be a beautiful sun filled day.  Sue and I have always loved Rhinefield and often do 6 or 7 weddings there each year, with its amazing grounds and buildings its the perfect spot for a lovely wedding day and Scott and Kim just loved it.

We started our day with Kim in the newer wing of Rhinefield for a couple of hours of preps, lots of details as well as kim getting into her beautiful maggie sottero wedding dress which looked stunning.  We mixed our time between the boys and the girls and had a great morning but soon enough it was time to walk down to the Grand Hall in Rhinefield to the waiting guests for the ceremony.   After a brief but lovely ceremony we headed outside into the sunshine for a few relaxed photos and some lovely family groups before we took Kim and Scott around the grounds for some portraits, we had lovely sunshine so made the most of the 30 minutes we had before David the toastmaster called us in for dinner.  To start with we had the speeches which were quite emotional today and then the wedding breakfast.

Like with most of our couples we had already photographed Scott and Kim when we did our free engagement shoot so we knew they would photograph well and they knew we were not pushy and this all helps to make a relaxed wedding day for them and us too.

We then ventured into the kings room where Toby our DJ was waiting to start a fun night which was kicked off with the first dance and then Daddy-Daughter dance and after that Sue and I said our goodbye’s and headed back home.

This was our last planned wedding of 2012,  we only take 30 bookings and this was wedding 30:-) it was a fab wedding to finish on although to be fair its a long wait until January and I am a sucker for weddings so will no doubt squeeze a couple in if we get offered:-)

Thanks to Kim and Scott and their families for a fun wedding.

Pete and Annabel get married

Posted inHampshire wedding photographer,Weddings by Julian Porter,Weddings by Sue Porter

On saturday Sue and I joined Pete and Annabel for our last wedding of 2011 and it was a great wedding to finish on, we started on a high with Kev and Ellen and finished on a high with Pete and Annabel,  We started our day with Annabel at her friends house for some very relaxed preparations, Annabel was so relaxed it made the whole thing a joy, after an hour or so we headed to the Clock Barn to meet with Pete and the boys who were equally as relaxed, this was all heading towards an amazing wedding for us:-)

Soon enough the beautiful vintage Jag arrived carrying a very beautiful Annabel and her dad John,  we whisked Annabel into the warm barn and after a few minutes the main event started, Annabel walked into a silent room watched by 100 or so stunned guests and 1 very happy groom,  The service that followed was very nice, carried out in fact by a family friend.  After the service we headed into the backrooms for Mulled wine and canapes including tiny mugs of warm soup, perfect for a winters day,

We then headed out into the gardens for some family groups and then we took Pete and Annabel off for some portraits including a very pretty sunset which was set off by the most amazing sky that afternoon,  We then headed into dinner and eventually speeches which were a lot of fun thanks to the 2 best men, after an hour or so chilling we started the dancing with an amazing band who played a perfect version of “it must be love” and at one point I think all 100 guests were singing along which was the perfect way to get the evening started.

Sue and I drifted away shortly afterwards but left 2 people very much in love and 100 or so very happy and content guests,  Thank you to you all for playing such an important part in Pete and Annabels wedding day and for making our day so much fun, this is exactly why we love our job.

Pete and Annabel,  you guys are amazing, you braved the cold and because of that we have some sensational photos to share with you,  have a wonderful Christmas and we will see you in the new year after your honeymoon.

Jules and Sue X

 

I hope you loved the photographs why not leave us your thoughts below with a message that Pete and Annabel can also read,  its good to share and there is no logging in to worry about,  thanks Jules x
