Wedding Photography at BMA House in London

On Saturday I photographed Sonya and Steve’s wedding day which took place at BMA House (British Medical Association) in London (http://www.bmahouse.org.uk).

I arrived a couple of hours before the ceremony and met up with the bride who was getting ready at the Hilton London Euston Hotel (http://www.hilton.co.uk/euston) across the street from BMA House.

I also took some pre-wedding photographs with the boys who had arrived at the venue.

It was then time for the bride to make her way to the wedding ceremony.

After the ceremony drinks were served and I took some casual shots before taking the formal group photographs.

I then took the couple for some romantic shots utilising the grounds at BMA House (http://www.bmahouse.org.uk). The venue itself is fantastic with great private outdoor locations and also some fabulous indoor backdrops! The staff at BMA House were very helpful and also friendly which always helps.

We were then called for the meal and ofcourse the speeches and cutting of the cake.

The evening celebrations began and I took casual guest shots and then the first dance.

There was one more shot I had to take before I left.

I had a great time photographing Sonya and Steve’s wedding day and was so pleased the weather had stayed fairly dry for most of the day. If you would like me to photograph your wedding then please do get in touch (http://www.rtweddings.co.uk/contact.html).

Wedding Photography at the Reid Rooms, Essex

On Sunday I photographed a wedding for very good friends of mine, Jenna and Stuart at the Reid Rooms in Margaret Roding in Essex (www.thereidrooms.co.uk), a venue I know very well.

I arrived at the brides family home nice and early to capture all of the getting ready shots, hair, make-up and accessories. I was working alongside videographer Dave from BVS Digital (www.bvsdigital.net) who I have worked with before.

I then left the girls and met up with the groom at the church in Aythorpe Roding. He had arrived in a sports car, a special surprise from his family. Apparently the car was identical to the Mustang called “Eleanor” in the hit film “Gone in 60 seconds”…

I captured some guest arrival shots before capturing the brides arrival.

The Revd at Aythorpe Roding Church really doesn’t approve of photographers and certainly doesn’t allow any photography (even without flash) during the ceremony as I found out. Unfortunately this meant that I wasn’t able to capture those special moments in the church. Normally I would capture the exchanging of rings, the marriage vows, any special readings, that first kiss and all the emotions surrounding it. It is definitely worth checking with your church before you get married to find out if they have any rules regarding photography so not to disappoint. After the ceremony I took a few group shots outside and then the confetti.

We then moved on to the Reid Rooms which is an absolutely fantastic wedding venue (www.thereidrooms.co.uk) where I took the main group shots, some romantic photos and candid guest shots.

You cant plan for everything, but it is great when moments like this happen… the bride had a butterfly theme and one landed on her head.

It was then time for the wedding breakfast to commence, and of course the speeches.

The evening party began and it was time for the first dance and the musical entertainment was provided by my good friends at Piano DJ (www.pianodj.co.uk) and a great job they did too. (Their lighting during the dance was fantastic, thanks guys!)

I had a fantastic time photographing Jenna and Stuart’s wedding day and I hope they like their photos. If you would like me to photograph your wedding please do get in touch (www.rtweddings.co.uk).

Wedding Photography at the Rhodes Arts Complex in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire

Last Saturday I photographed Hayley and Matt’s Wedding which took place at the Rhodes Arts Complex in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire.

I met the bride at the hair salon near to the family home. It had been a rather wet night, but the rain was beginning to show signs of stopping.

We then returned to the house where the girls got ready.

I also caught up with the boys who weren’t far away.

It was then time to make our way to the Bishop’s Stortford Registry Office where the ceremony took place.

After the ceremony we changed the plan slightly and made use of the park across the road for some group photographs as we were unsure how long it would remain dry.

We then returned back to the family home for a drinks reception and an outdoor blessing.

Then everyone made their way down the street to the reception venue, the Rhodes Arts Complex (www.rhodesbishopsstortford.org.uk)

It was then time for the meal followed by the cutting of the cake.

After the meal I took lots of portraits of the guests and also the new arrivals for the evening party. I found a great location with lots of greenery and natural backlighting as the sun started to set.

It was then time for the first dance and the evening party started.

I had a great time photographing Hayley and Matt’s Wedding and luckily it did remain dry for most of the day!
