I met the Hampshire Hunt a few days ago and what a lovely group of people they are.Very friendly as were the hounds (don’t call them dogs). I took some photos that I hope to use for my ARPS award from the Royal Photographic Society, I haven’t got one I am really happy with yet. Below is a photograph of the hunt master and his hounds waiting to set of, the horse is very grumpy because he wants to get going and not stand around waiting for everyone.

Brillient wedding on Saturday nice weather and a beautiful church for the ceremony:

Once we had finished the ceremony here everyone went to Tylney hall for a wonderful meal and evening entertainment.

Had a great wedding at Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Basingstoke followed by the reception at Hook House Hotel. Shame it rained but at least we managed to get outside for a bit. Below are a photo of Hook House Hotel itself:

Had a brilliant weekend at Shoreham Air Show some of the displays were very different to anything I had seen before, mostly older planes like Spitefires and by/triplanes, well worth going.

We had a supurb day for the wedding at Langrish house beautiful sunshine and a few clouds dotted about to give cover when needed. here are a couple of photographs from the wedding:

We just managed to dodge the rain drops with this wedding at Tylney Hall. It was probably one of the most emotional weddings I have ever photographered, the bride sobed during the ceremony, everyone in the room had a tear in their eye (including me) and everyone laughed all in the space of the 20 minuet ceremony. And what a story they had to tell: the couple first met over 40 years ago and went out together, the groom had a brother and the bride had a sister, the brother and the sister got married 40 years ago, the day before the wedding our current bride dumped the current groom. On the day of their brother and sister’s wedding the current bride and groom weren’t speaking to each other which caused some difficulties as the current bride was the cheif bridesmaid 40 years ago and the current groom was the best man 40 years ago. So 3 marriages and 40 years later they finally tied the knot and the 2 brothers are married to the 2 sisters. This was also a wedding were I managed to do the group photo as the signing of the register again, the 2 witnesses and their other halves were the only guests. Below are a couple of photos from the day:

What a beautifull wedding this was, held at Tylney Hall in the Kaiser suite and outside using the extensive grounds of the Hotel. It was a beautiful sunny day so the light is bright and warm. Below are just a few of the shots taken which try to show the surroundings and what a beautiful venue Tylney Hall is for wedding photography.
