I had a great time guys !
What happens when you take one of the top venues in the UK like Highclere Castle (Michelle your team were brilliant). 
Combine it with a couple who just laugh all the time and a Wedding day 18 months in the planning. 
You get a recipe for one of my favourite weekends a person could spend in the company of so hardened party goers. It was a full day which rocked into the night with fireworks and all the trimings.

The story I wanted to share on this little blog is one that left me laughing for quite a few frames. Positioning the Bride and Groom out of sight of the camera I asked the B&G to walk together into the scene, in love and embraced going for the ultimate architectural love shot !!!

What I got was my own comedy show, a very British gag using the traffic cones but it did set the scene for most of the day. Guys you made me hoot all day, thanks. I love the images I hope you do too. I think we captured the soul of your Wedding.
Cannot wait to meet up with you guys. Thanks again. T

At the Big Weddings - Nikon Rules
Sadly I cannot show you watchers too much of this Wedding but I must share a great moment that I can gloat on when it comes to Nikon.
 My friend Sophie Griffiths and I enjoyed so much of last weekend. 
When the Groom and his party arrive by Helicopter, to transfer to a seriously lovely Caddy..... 
..and the Dress is designed and made by Suzie Turner you know you are in for a great day.
But then in the heat of the day I managed to set aside some time to chat to guests and when the Celebs come out to shoot they shoot Nikon baby !!!! Kelly and I were reviewing her shots and I wanted to extend a quick thanks to her for saying I could share the image. I love being a Nikon Pro. I know where to go for a second shooter, she bagged some good shots. Model turned photographer I am thinking.
I must also say thank you to David Longbottom for laughing so hard and for so long when I fell into the river at the end of the day. But that is a completely separate story. !!!

Now that is a Venue !
coupled with an amazing Bride & Groom who were a pleasure to photograph makes this work sometimes special. M & S you guys were brilliant and everything was planned down to the smallest details which I hope was captured. Hatfield House is one of the venues that probably realises it has so much potential, but does it in such a subdued style, it's almost too discrete.
I had an amazing day and my team ate and drank well. I cannot wait to see you both back after honeymoon, rested and ready for the photos.

Cars and History and traditions and tears and beauty and flowers and music. All in a day. England is the best when the weather shines.
