The evening ended for me with a sea fog shrouding the seafront but before the evenings end Aaron's band Symbo gave a surprise gig for the 150 guests who had come from near and far! For the romantic shots we strolled onto the beach much to the sunbathers entertainment and wonder.  We managed to catch the last of the days sun before it set, an ideal location and something to remember from a terrific day!

A reception very much different from anything I have ever seen before! A fantastic atmosphere inside and out. The garden decked with lights, fire braziers for the chilly evening and a cool jazz band playing music in the garden and the late Summer sun - a perfect combination and a wedding no one is going to forget! Zoe and Paul, a super couple, they deserved the perfect day and they got it!

Walmer Castle was originally built during the reign of Henry VIII as part of a chain of coastal artillery defences against Catholic attack from Europe, Walmer Castle has evolved over time into an elegant residence. One of its most famous inhabitants was the Duke of Wellington.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother made regular visits to the castle. Some of the rooms used by the Queen Mother are open to visitors, as is her magnificent garden, given to Her Majesty on her 95th birthday. The current Lord Warden is Admiral Michael Boyce, Baron Boyce, who was appointed in 2004.

The beautiful gardens surrounding the house also include a commemorative lawn, woodland walk, croquet lawn and a working kitchen garden. The remainder of the grounds are mostly wildlife gardens, a great place to spot birds.

The fun and romantic shots were taken down by the beach, the weather just about behaved itself, with grey clouds looming and good light fading we just managed to get the shots. Throughout the shoot many heads were turned when they saw a bride and groom walking along the promenade ... can't think why!!

Shetal and Barry celebrated their big day with much colour and with both ceremonies recognised this was a wedding with a difference! Here are just a few of the many colour images taken on the day!

The images are just a sampler of the full day that the couple and guests enjoyed. As well as the family, "real" friends made this day a really wonderful wedding for Sharron and Peter.

The theme, an English country garden, tables were decorated with Summer flowers, Pimms in the garden, strawberries and cream and garden games scattered around the grounds. A beautiful wedding and a beautiful day, just hot!

It was another fantastic day, the weather held off and only made an appearance just as I was 5 minuets into the creative couple shots! It was then that the heavens opened! Fortunately the Best Man turned up with umbrellas to save the bride and groom. Here is a mere glimpse of their day in images!

The reception was held at Chart Hills Golf Club and is a perfect venue for all occasions. Hailed as one of the finest recently-built golf courses in England, Chart Hills is the British architectural debut of six times Major winner, Nick Faldo. Set on 200 acres of gently undulating Kentish hills and this provided some great opportunities for the romantic sun set images you can see here.

The Team at Chart Hills were outstanding and can only be thanked for making everything run so smoothly!

Here are a few examples of what we produced on the shoot in and around Bristol on Wednesday this week.

The weather stayed dry until the last of the creative shots were taken. I always carry white umbrellas for the unthinkable and they were put to use literally in the last five minutes of the day. Jennifer was one of those brides that was smiling from bridal preparation through to the first dance.  Here are a few chosen moments from the day.

Gemma was a dream to work with and these few images are an example of the afternoons shoot!

The ceremony included the Orthodox Blessing of RIngs, the Catholic Wedding Rite, the Joining of the Right Hands, the Crowing, Common Cup and the Ceremonial Walk. A marriage of real difference and I enjoyed it immensely!

The fun was only just beginning because the Wedding Breakfast and Reception was held at the Holiday Inn in Boreham wood. Again the evening was full of events that made the whole day exciting. Traditional Greek dancing the Groom dancing with the Best Men, the bride dancing with all the women and the traditional pinning of money to the Bride and Groom. A wonderful event. These images are amongst the many that go to tell the story and the first time I have photographed a Cash and Carry!!!

Eynsford is set in the Darent Valley, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the North West of Kent. The picture postcard village of Eynsford has roots dating back to Saxon times. The church lays opposite the old ford, a place that has seen generations of families come along to enjoy and play.  Family and friends came from near and far to celebrate their marriage with the reception being held at High Rocks in Royal Tunbridge Wells.
