Berkshire Documentary Wedding Photography | Monkey Island in Bray

Patrick and Jenny’s Berkshire wedding was such fun to document, it was exceptionally candid and everyone was clearly very relaxed and having a great time. I’ve worked as a wedding photographer at Monkey Island in Bray, Berkshire, many times over the years, it’s such a quirky little venue with lots of varied and very interesting light spilling into each room, so during a particularly wet wedding (which this one was!), you can carry on working indoors with little or no impact to your style. Thankfully the rain broke every now and then and when it did, we had beautifully bright spells of sunshine.

With the final of the world cup playing, Jenny and Patrick were kind enough to leave the TV on in the bar!

Enjoy.

Relaxed Wedding Brympton D'Evercy, Somerset | Claire & Darren

Claire and Darren have been so nice to work with and get to know over the last few months. I first met them during their engagement shoot which also took place at Brympton D’Evercy in Somerset in order to show them around the venue at the same time. I'm lucky enough to be a recommended supplier at Brympton D’Evercy and I personally believe it to one of the best wedding venues in Somerset, it’s quite simply breathtaking and the perfect backdrop to any wedding.

We were fortunate enough to have some amazing weather during the afternoon drinks reception, the atmosphere was fantastic to work in and the garden games, particularly the space hoppers, were a huge success!

Apart from a handful of group photographs for the families, this was a very reportage style wedding, really capturing the essence of the day.

A Little Kentucky Wedding In Mono

This is in fact my very own sister’s wedding, she’s lived in Kentucky for the last few years and so it was an honour to be able to be her wedding photographer. My three daughters and son also played key roles in the wedding, which made it even more special for me. The weather was absolutely scorching with the sun directly overhead for most of the day, it made for very interesting, often high-key images, which I love. The light, which often produced long shadows and plenty of lens flare, had bags of character.

The day ran incredibly smoothly, Justin and Gemma were aiming to have a very candid day with more of a party atmosphere than a wedding. Other than my youngest daughter Georgie, who played the role of a flower girl, getting uncomfortably close to the action during the church, it went perfectly!

I shot almost all of this wedding in my documentary style of wedding photography and although I shoot everything originally in colour, I’ve favoured black and white for all of my images here to really draw out the light and tones.
