In This Moment | That Light

Blenheim Palace is and always has been one of my favourite wedding venues in the UK, it's quite simply breathtaking. This beautiful moment was captured during a wedding we photographed there several weeks ago, in fact, it's the next wedding to be fully featured on the blog, I just couldn't resist posting this little preview.

John and Mamta had recently finished their ceremony and were walking around the incredible grounds at Blenheim, the moment they walked into the main square the light, colours and tones just came to life, it changed the scene completely. It became much more representative of the day (and couple) especially when they turn to look at one another, I knew it was a keeper then.

In This Moment | Urgh!

I absolutely love this image because it's captured one of the pageboys, who also happens to be the groom's son, in absolute and genuine disgust at the sight of the bride and groom kissing!

My 9-year-old son is exactly like this - if there is any sign of physical affection in our house you just see a screwed up face and hear "urgh!".

This wedding photo captures this boy at a very specific time in his life - his personality at this wonderful age shines through and I'm sure it will mean a lot to his parents, I know it would to me.

In This Moment | Just In Time!

I remember this moment with absolute clarity. This was the bride's sister and her (very new!) baby. I made this image during the bridal preparations at the stunning Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury, one of my favourite spots for Wiltshire wedding photography.

What I remember most was the beautiful atmosphere in the room, they were clearly a very close family and having this latest edition arrive just in time for the wedding made for a perfect day.

It was such a tender moment - seeing this first-time, doting mother holding her little baby.

It's moments like these that make me realise just how privileged I am to do the job I do :)
