Favourite Weddings of 2010
Hannah & James Rice
September 2010
I met Hannah and James at the beginning of last year, aparantly they had been looking for a wedding photographer for some time. The reason for their delay was that they wanted an informal unobtrusive approach and wanted someone who would fit in with their intimate wedding. The guest list was small but it was quality not quantity and there really was a great deal of Love in the room.
Often at weddings, I feel like ‘part of the family’ but never more so than at Hannah & James’s wedding – their family came from far and wide – James’s brother had flown in from Japan for the wedding, and Hannah’s family had come to Cambridge from Wales. 
It was a lovely group of people all there to share in the Marriage of their daughter, sister, son, brother or friend and it really did feel like a celebration.
I met Hannah & James earlier in the year at the venue which was ‘The George’ in Buckden, While we were there we had a walk around and stumbled accross ‘Buckden Towers’ which is a Christian Retreat and Conference Centre, but is absolutely stunning and open to the public!
We had an informal pre-wedding shoot, where I got to know Hannah & James and more importantly they got to know me, and my way of shooting couples. I felt I captured their love and excitement for their pending celebration.
So later in the Year I met Hannah & James for their big day! Hannah was so happy and greeted me like we were old friends. Logistically the wedding day couldn’t have been easier, Hannah got ready in The George Hotel, she merely needed to walk down the stairs to get to where the ceremony was and after the Ceremony we went over the road to ‘Bucken Towers’ to do our family photos and our couple photos. have a look at my favourite photos from the day! …now where to start choosing my favourites…..Help!
Michaela & Lee – Pre-Wedding Shoot
So 2011 season begins… Today I met up with Michaela and Lee at Hinchingbrooke Country Park in Huntingdon. The venue for our Pre-wedding shoot was chosen by Michaela because it was where Lee had proposed!
The leaves aren’t yet on the trees and the sky looked a little menacing, but we carried umbrella’s into the park for our pre-wedding shoot. As I told Michaela & Lee, I had been to this park last summer for a Pre-wedding shoot for Sarah & Mark. The Park looked like a different place, the last time I was there was one of the hottest days of last summer and today was chilly, but the beauty of nature is evident in Winter and Summer and today was a great day to take
photos. The light was really lovely today and the park was full of the hues of winter -browns, reds and oranges. Click Here to see Michaela & Lee’s photos
It was lovely to catch up with Michaela and Lee again as I met up with them months ago when they booked me for their wedding, which will be later this summer. Its great doing a pre-wedding shoot, I could tell the couple were a little nervous of being shot in public, but the great thing about the Pre-Wedding Shoot is that it gives my couples a glimpse of how I will be posing them on their wedding day
. I could tell by the end of the shoot they were much more at ease with me and this will definitely help on the big day!.. As a part of the package Michaela and Lee chose Click Here for my Packages and prices, The pre-wedding shoot is complementary and they will also get to choose a complementary 8×10 Print. I think they may have trouble choosing – there are lots of lovely photos and Michaela & Lee look stunning in all of them.
They are a gorgeous couple and I am really looking forward to shooting their wedding in the Summer! Click Here to see the Online Album of Michaela & Lee’s Pre-Wedding Shoot
Lee brought with him, Mark – his Best Man. He was a great help – he carried the umbrella, and Michaela’s handbag (It suited him!). It was great to meet Mark because I don’t often get to meet the wedding party before the big day…Little does Mark know that now I know who he is…I’ll be calling on him to help with getting my groups together on the big day – often I enlist the help of a Groomsman, or Best man to aid me in finding who is who for the group photos. – Well I try to make them work for their title! – all in good spirit though – I try to help everyone have a good time!
I’m really looking forward to shooting Michaela and Lee’s Wedding later this summer – they make a stunning couple
