Alice & Chris' Spring Wedding
Alice and Chris brought youthful vision and creativity to a wedding bursting with historic charm and tradition. The couple chose to marry at St Mary’s Church which sits within the grounds of Portchester Castle, deemed to be possibly one of the most stunning wedding venues in Hampshire.
The romantic mint and peach colour theme brought a fresh on-trend feel to the day, complimenting the breathtaking backdrops of bold coloured stained glass windows, ancient stone ruins and the pastel blue seascapes behind the old walls. Alice and Chris were inspired to engage with some modern photography by which to capture their big day, whilst also keeping a respectful sense of tradition through some classic wedding portraiture. Both styles blended perfectly to suit their personalities and helped showcase the importance of the varying elements throughout the day, whilst also highlighting all the gorgeous wedding details.

Becky & Matt's Goodwood Hotel Spring Wedding
Back in the day, wedding photography was all about perfecting the still pose, albeit awkwardly standing in line with your new in-laws! It was about knowing there was only one chance at each click of the camera to smile your best smile, whilst hoping your hair was in place. There was a ‘no-going-back’ mentality that accompanied each capture and thus, waiting for the outcome of the resulting album prints was an anxious affair!
Thank goodness times have changed, enabling wedding photography to be so much more than the collection of numb expressions distilled in starchy, formulaic portraits. Of course these days we have the luxury of second chances and limitless opportunities to capture each and every single moment. What I loved about Becky and Matt’s wedding photography was how they fully embraced the modern approach, being willing to experiment with the unconventional and classic compositions. Their openness to creativity was inspiring and it also meant that we all had the best fun on their very special wedding day!

Danielle & Rob's Upwaltham Barns Spring Wedding
The perfect March day saved itself for Danielle and Rob who married at the breathtaking Sussex location of Upwaltham Barns. Fitting to the serene and tranquil setting was this easy-going, very relaxed pair who seemed to take the momentous day of marriage in their stride. Seeing to small essential tasks without stress and enjoying each moment as it fell upon them, the couple appeared to revel in its magic and mindfully absorb the details in real-time. It is rare to notice and acknowledge the little treasures of people’s words and actions with so much to think about for the day ahead, but charmingly, I witnessed this to be true of Danielle and Rob.
