I recently had lunch with Laurie and Chris who will be getting married in August this year. We dined in the same place where their ceremony will be held – the very nice Cedar House Hotel in Cobham.

After a very tasty meal, we wandered around the location, and then across to the river and nearby fields for their pre-wedding shoot. They were naturals, and needed little direction at all! Good on you, guys …

Here are some shots from the shoot:

Across the road from Cedar House Hotel …
Chris looking somewhat cool …
… and no matter how hard you try, you just HAVE to blow the photographer a kiss every now and then!
… and don’t they pull off the “moody” look well !?
Looking forward to August guys! Have a great holiday next week …

Well, finally, here are some images from Jayne and James’ wedding from a few weeks ago. Much has happened since then, including several shoots which I am hoping to post at some point!

Many of you know that I was due to fly out to the USA to see some very good friends of mine, Tasha and Kristi, in Minneapolis – unfortunately I put my back out when I was in Florence and was declared unfit to travel Alas, I had to forego the trip …

However, after many trips to a wonderful chiropractor, Louise, at Team Health in Windsor, I am well on the road to recovery. In fact, it was Louise who helped me through Jayne and James’ wedding with a lot of work beforehand, and a special support belt on the day.

But, enough of my aches and pains, on to the wedding…

It was a gloriously sunny day, and I headed down to Bosham (‘bozzum’ or ‘bosh-um’ i never did work out) with my good friend, and 2nd shooter for the day, Nicky. The mood when we arrived was nothing short of spectacular … everybody was sooo laid back and relaxed, you would have thought that it was the day AFTER the wedding! What a wonderful way to start the day.
After a cheeky cream tea, Nicky and I headed out to do a quick recce of the surrounding area – now, check this out for a view from your front garden:

There was a causeway in the middle of all that which you can take to cross over when the tide is out, and when the water comes in it’s all just as picturesque:

Even though we had a nice sunny day, the wind was challenging to say the least – hair and skirts everywhere … we had to dive for cover at every opportunity, but still managed some great images. Here are Jayne and James looking lovely as ever:

Given that we were down by the coast, there were plenty of boats and sailing paraphernalia around so I tried to be a bit arty:

Here’s Jayne with mum and dad:

… and finally, what would a wedding be without a great best man – and James had TWO. Their speech was an absolute classic! Here they are with their gorgeous girlfriends:

Another enjoyable wedding, despite the challenge of the wicked windy weather!
