Ailis & Chris' Wedding At The Elvetham, Hampshire
Sometimes photography is like looking through a window into someone else's world and each picture offers you a little piece of golden information about the person you are photographing. As my window cleaner, Chris must have had plenty of opportunities to have a nose through my windows at home, and finally it was my chance to have a nosey into his world, on probably the most important day ever!

Clare & Dave's Upwaltham Barns Summer Wedding
I first met London-based Clare and Dave at Upwaltham Barns, a stunning rustic conversion set in the country heart of the magnificent South Downs. It was March 2016 and we were all enjoying a taste of the venue's delicious food at a unique show-case evening (see a previous blog entitled 'A Wedding Experience Evening With Nibbles 2 Nosh'). We got chatting and it was just a few short months on when I got a call and I was delighted to be asked to shoot their wedding back at Upwaltham at the beginning of July, a mere four months on!
