Part 2 of Caroline and Andrew’s Wedding at Gate Street Barn starts with some of the Christmassy details and those scrummy canapés..
.. and we finish with the succulent dinner that was served. Makes my mouth water just looking at it all again!
Congratulations to you both and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

The lovely Caroline and Andrew were married on a bitterly cold Saturday afternoon last December and celebrated with their friends and family at Gate Street Barn, in Bramley. The wedding itself took place close by, at St. John the Baptist Church in Wonersh, thought to be built as early as 1050, if not before!
Being a wedding this late in December, there was a fantastic Christmas and wintery reds theme running through the day, as you will see. The other, hugely important, theme was one of food – given that Andrew is a chef … this was a day of outstanding food, and some of the best canapés I have ever tasted. Just as well, because the caterers were trained by Andrew – no pressure then!
A huge thank you to everyone for being so hardcore and braving the icy wind for photographs outside, and especially to Caroline, who was the least covered up!
Here is Part 1 of my favourites from their day :
It’s such a great pleasure to be able to see, and capture, these emotional moments …
.. as well as these super-happy ones too!
Part II to follow tomorrow …
Well, Happy New Year to you all ! I hope that you had a great Christmas and New Year break. We were very grateful for some time off after a manic final few weeks before the festivities started!
One of the things we were busy with was for the queen of my biggest vice Sarah Jane Chocolates. On a chilly but sunny Monday afternoon in mid-December, I visited Sarah and her lovely family for a pre-Christmas family photoshoot … oh, and some chocolates too!
As the sun was out, we took the opportunity and headed out into the garden, armed with camera, reflector and warm jackets. They were all very good about dropping the jackets for a few minutes at a time, whilst we captured some great family moments. Of course, coffee and chocolate was a must after all that, and I would be lying if I didn’t own up to the fact that I ate rather more than I should – but, oh goodness, how utterly divine! I would highly recommend sampling some for yourself, or even attending one of her Chocolate Making Workshops. I guarantee, you won’t be disappointed!
So, enough of that, let’s look at some of my favourite images from the shoot :

So, after somewhat of a mad final dash to Christmas, and a terribly long spell of blogful neglect, I wanted to post some images from a gorgeous shoot I did a few weeks ago. Little Annabella appeared in the last edition of Baby Surrey Magazine, along with dad and mum, Jessica, who is the brains behind the Mumzy-Not Yummy Mummy Blog.
Read her review on our shoot, here, but after you have seen my favourite set of images from the session:

I recently had the opportunity to do some family photography for my friend Sarah, and her very ‘enthusiastic’ family! A very easy and natural shoot because they were all in stitches even before we started photographing – it was a real pleasure to work with them all.
A special little hello goes out to the youngest of our models who both treated me to a Monkey Tree Hug to say goodbye. Total bless.
Here are a couple of my faves from the shoot:
Ah these are beautiful. Have missed your blog posts…. like looking at your work and seeing what good things you are up to.
Lovely work as always!
Have a great Christmas Matt and hope 2012 brings all you wish for
