Elini & Ali
The wedding of Elini & Ali took place on a warm summer’s day at the impressive Hengrave
Hall Suffolk. The couple were very happy not only to have obtained my services for the day,
but as NHS professionals they qualified for a very well deserved discounted price. Family
had arrived from both London & Greece for the wedding and they were very impressed by
Hengrave. Several Greek customs were included which really added to the day, I must admit
the gift of sugared almonds were not refused. The ceremony took place at the intimate
church in the grounds of the hall and the afternoon was spent catching up with friends &
family on the lawns, before a wedding breakfast and to finish with traditional Greek dancing
in the evening.

A local Suffolk wedding for Bettina & Macauley at the impressive Glemham Hall. I particularly like this venue as the drive from my home takes you through some beautiful Suffolk countryside. Coverage started in the hall where Bettina and her bridesmaids were preparing for the big day. And not so far away Macauley was doing the same, aided with a few liquid refreshments! The ceremony went off perfectly, and the confetti line led the guests out into the stunning gardens that Glemham hall has on show throughout the summer. Welcome Drinks, canapes and even a game of tennis was on offer in the afternoon before the wedding breakfast and speeches. Traditionally the groom is the one to receive a roasting, but on this occasion the brides father let everyone know of Bettina’s dealings as a child with a chimney, and the soot that covered her! The evening entertainment went on long into the night, and a perfect day was had by all. Here are a few images from an extraordinary day…
When Lydia contacted me to photograph her wedding to Matt I was absolutely thrilled to say the least. They are part of a friend group who I have had the pleasure to know and work with for the past 10 years, so I knew that I would be in for a great day. The wedding, Lidiya & Matt chose the beautiful village church of St Michaels at Hunston, Suffolk Lydia looked stunning and she arrived in real style accompanied by her father Simon in a soft top Lagonda. After the ceremony the wedding party descended on Haughley park for the reception and wedding breakfast. A beautiful day with plenty of sunshine, Haughley park made the perfect backdrop to a memorable day. Here are a few images from an extraordinary day…
I had a chance meeting with Jodie & James to begin this story, at the time I was hosting a black tie charity ball at Lynford Hall in aid of the St Nicholas Hospice Bury St Edmunds when Jodie introduced herself by my wife who knew her previously from her own charity work. Jodie explained that she was in the midst of planning a very unique affair, a music festival inspired wedding in the nearby village of Weeting. After outlining her vision for the day my face must have been a picture! thankfully I landed the gig of photography. The day of the wedding… The Sun was shining for Jodie, I remember arriving at her parents’ house which was a hive of activity, so many bridesmaids, flowers and wellie boots! When Jodie was ready she looked beautiful, a brilliant white dress and the perfect addition of flowers in the form of a bouquet and a flower crown in her hair, everyone looked very festival chic. Jodies father and James had put months of work into the preparations for the wedding, leading up to and including the morning of. when I arrived at the venue it blew me away, a miniature Glastonbury had indeed been created. Flags fluttered in the breeze and the wedding guests made their way through them to a Tee Pee centre stage surrounded by straw bales. The bridal party arrived together in style on a tractor and trailer. The ceremony was truly magical, and everyone enjoyed the day listening to music surrounded by food vendors and entertainers, The highlight of my day had to be photographing the couple crowd surfing into the sunset. Here are a few images from an extraordinary day…
Sam contacted me way back in 2019, we had a meeting and she told me that she was looking for a wedding that she never had? It transpired that Sam & Neil had already tied the knot on a Caribbean island a few years previously, but they both felt that something was missing that day and they both really wanted a more traditional English wedding. Fast forward to 2020 and their day had arrived in the form of a crisp but sunny date in February at Bedford lodge hotel Newmarket. Sam looked absolutely stunning, and looked like she had stepped out from a glamorous Hollywood movie! Neil did not look out of place either in his Royal air force uniform, together along with their family and freinds they looked perfect and indeed they had the wedding of their dreams. Here are a few images from an extraordinary day…
Sadie first contacted me way back in 2018, she was determined to get all of the right vendors for her big day and it made sense to book early to avoid disappointment. However the curse of covid played a part in all our lives, and Sadie & Daniels wedding had to be postponed, but ultimately when restrictions began to lift I was fortunate to photograph their wedding at Bassmead barns Cambridgeshire, along with just six members of the family, it was a very intimate affair. Over time when more restrictions were lifted, and Sadie & Daniel returned to Bassmead for a wedding blessing and a day of celebration with all her friends and family. As I was originally booked for the photography I photographed this day also, and I was so glad, in the end the couple were blessed to have two brilliant days of sunshine, which made for some beautiful photographs, and as Sadie pointed out, looking back she got to wear two dresses, which was a big win win for any bride. A small selection of images from Sadie & Daniels wedding celebrations…..
