Weddings at Hampshire court hotel are much better since they replaced the old tennis court with some landscaped gardens and a covered seating area. The new area has lovely decking and uprights to use as props and the group shot can now be taken from an upstairs window. Below are some photographs from a recent wedding at Hampshire Court Hotel Basingstoke:

I have just come back from a very relaxing week in Cromer, Norfolk. A beautiful part of the UK with lots of nature reserves and miles of beaches to walk along. Below are a couple of photographs I took during the week.

This was a very exciting boat ride as the spray was coming over the sides and the boat was rocking about like a see-saw on the large waves and drenched everyone and I had £2K worth of camera and lens with me, trying to keep it dry was quite difficult.

I made good use of the fisheye lens during the week. This was a very old tractor used to pull the lobster fishing boat up the beach.

Hampshire’s premier wedding photographer

Every Picture Tells a Story, so let Me Tell Yours

Last week was my 25th wedding anniversary so we had a party at the weekend and invited a few friends and my family for a hog roast catered for us by ‘Catering 4 Occasions’ which was fantastic, the food was great and the service excellent. Below are a couple of photographs I took before most of the people arrived. I wanted to get a photograph of everyone present, but was far too busy toalking to them all that I never got around to it. I should have paid someone to come and take the photos for me !!!

We didin’t have a table that was clearer any higher than this to use!! But what a great cake. We have a motor home and do scuba diving, the gear on the top of the cake is scuba kit!

Sindlesham Court in Winnersh is a Masonic Lodge that now does civil ceremonies and civil partnerships in its’ large airy chapel which is quite stunning. The inside of the building has been recently rennovated and looks beautiful, and the room used to welcome the bride and groom or same sex partners by the registrar is quite stunning. Below are a few photographs that show the inside of the wedding venue. It has a huge main hall which can take up to 250 people and still have room for a dance floor or 400 people for a sit down meal only. If you are looking for a wedding photographer as well as a stunning venue then please call me to discuss details.

What a beautiful setting for a wedding!  This Victorian era building still has many original features like high ceilings with plaster mouldings, chandaliers hanging from rosettes in the ceiling, huge fire places and wood paneling. The extensive grounds have tennis courts and football pitches and 72 acres to roam in. A wedding here is a very special event.

I exhibited at a superb wedding venue in late January, Fredricks Hotel in Maidenhead, it has a small but beautiful garden with some amazing statues in it and a swimming pool that goes outside (hence the mist in the photos) and it is very warm so you could easily swim in it. There are some great places within the property that could be used for wedding photography. The inside is very nice as well and could be good for indoor wedding photography. Take a look at the photographs below:

Sherfield school is a beautiful old building converted to a school that allows wedding receptions to be held at the school. Huge fireplaces and beautiful grounds give some stunning backgrounds to your wedding photography or civil ceremony photography. Call me on Basingstoke 01256 333205, your local female wedding photographer for quotes and a personal discussion.

There are some beautiful spots within the grounds of Trunkwell house all very close to the house so no long treks to get some nice photographs.Below are a couple of views of the back gardens:

Trunkwell Mansion House near Mortimer, Reading in Berkshire is a beautiful old country hotel with beautiful gardens and a peaceful environment.
