Back at the start of 2017 we met up with Jade and her fantastic fiancé Rob over a few glasses of wine and got to hear about all their wedding plans. It was so lovely to be back in contact with Jade after so many years (We went to school together originally!) and was such a privilege to be asked to capture their big day. There is nothing we love more than shooting weddings for our friends.
India + Olly's wedding day really was a tale of two incredible halves! They chose to have an intimate family and wedding party only ceremony at Henley Town Hall before heading back to India's parents house in Marlow for an amazing marquee reception expertly organised by 81 Events. The Sun shone throughout which resulted in some beautiful golden hour portraits later in the day.
Simply put, we LOVE Lillibrooke Manor and we are fortunate to shoot many weddings there every year! Keri first spotted Lillibrooke Manor on an episode of Don’t tell the Bride (before you had to have a crazy theme to be on the show!) Keri + Tom weren’t even engaged at the time but she knew there and then she wanted her wedding day there.
Wow! What a setting! It was our second time shooting at a Cathedral (The first being at Eton back in 2016) and the first time at the sensational Christ Church. Christ Church is Oxford’s iconic college and as Michael had studied there previously he was able to get married there.
Kim + Xavier live in Australia and had tied the knot the week before they travelled over for their second wedding in the UK. The blessing took place at All Saints Church in Ascot and the celebrations at Lillibrooke Manor in Maidenhead.
Lindsay + Jonny had their wedding (They officially got married in their home city of NYC the week before) at the stunning Hedsor House, Taplow. It really is the most incredible setting and has appeared in many feature films in the past, including 'The Golden Compass' and 'Quartet'.
Jody and Rich chose the beautiful Cripps Barn in the Cotswolds for their big day back in May last year. The barn is a stunning setting to get married but that was always their plan B. Their dream was to get married outside and thats exactly what happened. Their Wedding day was super sunny and really quite hot!
Back in the summer we met up with the lovely Lucy and Anthony for their pre wedding shoot in Swinley Forest, Berkshire. They asked us to suggest somewhere quiet and having shot at Swinley Forest before we knew this would be the perfect setting. The forest itself is HUGE so once you have a little wander you feel as though you are completely on your own - The photos really do reflect this!
