Phoebe & Tom’s sunny Winchester engagement photos!

Posted on May 17, 2012

I met up with Phoebe & Tom on Sunday for a walk in the woods, and to get to know them both a little ahead of their wedding in July.  I should confess now that despite living near here, and visiting Crab Wood most weeks for dog walks, I promptly managed to get us all lost and had to ask a lone dog walker for guidance on how to escape.  Thank goodness we met her, or we might still be there, sheltering under some dock leaves & hoping some Venture Scouts march by…

SO, Phoebe & Tom are both living  at university in Bristol currently and both in the midst of studying for their exams – they took a day off to do something fun because it was Phoebe’s birthday; it was such a gorgeous sunny day, too.

I hope you like your pictures folks – I will be sending them off to the printers in the next few days so they can wing their way to you.  Good luck with all that studying…!

Camilla & Tim’s Wandsworth e-shoot

Posted on May 16, 2012

Judging by my blogging output recently (Airlee & Alex’s Wedding, Tim & Camilla’s e-shoot and Phoebe & Tom’s e-shoot on the blog tomorrow), you would think that we have been bathed in some kind of glorious spring sunlight over the last few weeks.  We know better.  But when I travelled up to Wandsworth to meet with Camilla & Tim for their engagement shoot we had a rare break in the heartless wet season, and we were able to run around Wandsworth common in the weak but pretty evening light & grab some shots before their upcoming wedding.  I hope you like them, C & T – I will send you these and a few more in the coming days.  xx

Airlee & Alex’s Sunny New Forest Wedding

Posted on May 13, 2012

Airlee & Alex were married yesterday in the beautiful setting of the New Forest in Hampshire.  There was actual sun present (I know!  Giant fiery ball in the middle of the solar system, you may remember it).  I had warmed to Airlee & Alex as soon as I met them, and on the day both their families just as warm & welcoming to me and my super sidekick for the day, Sarah.  Thank you for that, Ibbs & O’Briens – it makes all the difference!  Airlee looked like a silver screen goddess with Veronica Lake hair, red lips & an Oscar-worthy gown.  The wedding was set at the Balmer Lawn hotel, and Airlee & her friends had decorated the outside space with giant pom-poms, and transformed the inside into a vintage wonderland with handmade accessories, old books & gorgeous bunting.  I am reliably informed that friend Betty was somewhat of a superhero in helping Airlee in the transformation.  If you could come & do my house next Betty, that’d be great.

Alex & Airlee didn’t have the most stress-free of weddings days (understatement!), but all the unexpected things the day threw at them were dealt with with resilience & humour.  And at the end of it, their obvious love for each other blew everything else out of the water, and every single person there (myself included) had an amazing day right along with them.  I hope you feel this taste of your wedding pictures reflects that, guys, and have an amazing honeymoon xxx

Kai & Stephanie’s gorgeous Romsey Abbey wedding

Posted on May 5, 2012


Kai & Stephanie had the most amazing day.  So amazing I can’t resist blogging about it before I go to bed (I keep promising myself I will stop doing same day blogs, but there is just too much pretty….), so here are some images from the day.  Have an equally amazing time in Mauritius guys (as if you couldn’t!), and thank you for allowing us to be part of you day.

A big thank you as well to the folks at Romsey Abbey – rarely have we been made to feel so welcome – and also to Paddy & his staff from Wise Catering for some seriously prompt & delicious food and to the always lovely Winchester Guildhall.

Here are a few sneak peeks…!

Peachy

Posted on April 24, 2012

Just a quickie.  Before the wedding season really hits in a week or two I took the family (me, the current Mr Ward Brown, our two girls and our two dogs – one broken, one fixed) away for a weekend at the gorgeous Pebbles Beach House in Sussex.

We managed to dodge the occasional hailstorm & have a marvellous weekend on Winchelsea beach – S even got some body boarding in (crazy child).  Makes you want summer to rush around the corner, doesn’t it?

Hill Place ‘Bright Young Things’ fashion shoot.

Posted on April 17, 2012

Back in January I had the pleasure of getting together with my favourite Dream Team (milliner Rachel Drewer, Art director & all-round go-to powerhouse Sarah Leigh Wade, and Hepwright’s Vintage Clothing)  for a new fashion project, talking place at the gorgeous wedding & party venue; Hill Place in Hampshire.

This time we were joined by my friend and amazeballs fashion photographer Ina Halsor, fab make up artists Victoria Brown & Amy Cal, wonderful models Chisato, Nikita & Camilla,  and Shay Harris Bridal wear; whom supplied some of Shay’s gorgeous gowns.

Being a Hill Place wedding photographer must be like shooting fish in  a barrel – this place is beautiful, and I am thrilled to be shooting a wedding there next year.  Thank you so much to Rebecca & Will for your hospitality.

I hope you love the images.

Black Peak – Winchester photo shoot

Posted on April 3, 2012

Yesterday I shot folk band Black Peak in and around a very sunny Winchester.  Not  a hard task given the surroundings, and having photographed Debs wedding a couple of years ago I knew she knew the ropes.  Thanks for your time Debs & Darren (and Chris & H!), I had fun.  I hope you like these first few images.

Cripps Barn Wedding – Dom & Becky

Posted on February 17, 2012

It has just gone midnight so Dom & Becky should just be leaving their fantastic wedding & heading back into Cirencester, I meanwhile have raced home to get a few images of their amazing day up on the blog.  As you may have seen me mention on my blog post of their engagement shoot, I adore these two.  I plan to adopt them.  Their wedding day was as gorgeous, unpretentious, joyful and chilled as they are.

The wedding was held at the beautiful Cripps Barn in the Cotswolds – thank you so much to Lisa & the marvelous team there for making us feel so welcome.

Have a fantastic honeymoon, and I hope you like the pictures so far! xxxx
