Alexis & Anthony, Hanbury Manor Country Club

as a photographer who loves using natural light whenever possible, the conservatory at hanbury manor offers probably the best light of any ceremony I have shot this year.  add to that a chequer board floor, a black cab, plenty of pimms and a load of happy but slightly warm guests and you have got yourself a great wedding to capture. alexis and anthony got married on a scorching hot day earlier in june and as you will see from some of my favourite shots below sunglasses were very much in order for kids and adults alike....enjoy and don’t forget the slideshow. photos by me and music by sixpence none the richer

Gemma & Noel. Lifes a (Bournemouth) Beach

gemma and noel live in ireland but decided to have their big day in gemma's hometown of bournemouth with the irish contingent heading over en mass. the spectacular highcliffe castle played host to the ceremony with the reception held at the marriott perched high above bournemouth beach. The sun shone all day and without a single cloud in the sky little protection was offered to my exposed head (ouch) and nose (ouch). we even braved the crowds and headed via a free ride in the funicular railway down to the beach for some shots among the sun worshippers. a great day, even though I am still finding sand in funny places 2 weeks later. some of my favourites below with a slideshow at the bottom. photos by me and music by the courteeners...enjoy
