Last Saturday we photographed John & Cara’s wedding in Twickenham and Richmond. Rain was forecast and there was indeed a thunderstorm in the evening but by then we were all inside. Actually, the rain clouds simply added to the dramatic evening light and wonderful sunset over the Thames at Richmond. We’ve noticed at weddings that…
This really was a unique and special wedding with fantastic attention to detail and a day jammed packed with lots of surprises and entertainment for the guests. Oh and we should also mention that Jamie and Sasha like dogs. The reason we’re telling you this will become clear further down this post; it’s all in…
Sarah has known Josh his whole life!! His parents are close family friends and we photographed his sister Rebekah’s wedding to Alain in 2009. So Saturday was a great day for us, with the added pressure of Sarah’s parents being guests!! The day started at Chloe’s house and this is her amazing dress, interestingly found…
WOW the photos are amizing of course just like the Bride and the Groom:) Well done for the photos and for the wedding.;)
What a lovely day Saturday was. We were in sunny Kent catching up with old friends and making new ones at Tom and Gabriella’s wedding. Amongst the guests were 4 couples whose weddings we had photographed before so there was lots of catching up to do!! It was lovely to be with the families and…

What a glorious sunny day Saturday was and we were delighted to be at one of our favourite venues – Gate Street Barn in Bramley, Surrey. Marcus and Emma both got ready at the Mandolay Hotel in Guildford where their excellent florist Gill Pike arrived with the beautiful bouquets. Sarah just had to get in…
Sarah, Richard…amazing, just amazing, so excited to see the rest! Lots of love the Bennetts in St. Lucia!
Brilliant day ….brilliant photos….can’t wait for the rest of them.
Our first wedding of the year was in Yorkshire in the stunning Allerton Castle. Andy and Sarah were one of the most fun and brilliant couples we’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Here are some of our favourites: Meanwhile, downstairs the guys were playing snooker. Gideon hit the snooker balls in the style…

As some of you know, every year we have a friendly little competition between us to see who got ‘wedding photo of the year’. The problem is that we may choose a particular shot because we know how difficult it was to get it at the time rather than on the basis of how good…
Hi Richard & Sarah
Love the pictures and would like to take part and give you my votes –
My favourite is picture 18 – I love the emotional pictures when the subject doesn’t know they are being captured – this one is brilliant.
(For the same reason I also like pictures 3 and 13)
I’d like to vote also for number 16 – the light coming through the trees is just spectacular!
My absolute FAVOURITES are….of course….
Sepia toned kiss at Gate Street Barn
Such a romantic moment with a gorgeous background and perfectly centered. Makes me want to cry looking at it.
Ceremony Glance
I remember thinking ‘This is it!! We’re actually doing it!!’ when I glanced over at him in this pic. It was the most exciting and emotional hour of my life and you caught it on camera beautifully.
And one unbiased vote…
First Dance embrace at Highclere Castle
So gorgeous – really captures the obvious romantic moment between them. You’re SO talented!
Lots of love P xxxx
It was so hard to pick but I finally I have! I love 3 for the huge emotional impact of this image, 7 for the beautiful composition, & 21 for it’s movement and emotion.
Emma

So hard to choose with so many beautiful photos! But my vote goes for…
12. Sunset Kiss at Bury Court Barn – I love the lightling and the emotion!
Hi Richard & Sarah,
I have been looking forward to seeing this on your blog!!
I can’t choose one, there are too many fab ones, but i like number 3, as i think this captures a common bride emotion brilliantly. I like no 12 becuase the light is beautiful, i like no 17 coz it makes me what to go there and i like 18 coz it shows that men do have emotions!!

Hi Richard and Sarah,
Here are the votes from the Teddington jury!
3rd place, No 13, simply because it is such a very happy and natural shot.
2nd place, No 4, because of the fantastic lighting especially in the veil.
1st place, and runaway winner for both of us, No 18. So full of emotion, and completely candid.
Roland and Maddy
P.S. ….. and of course we loved ours too!! (No. 24)
Hi. Here are my votes:
No 7 – love the lighting & the composition of this one. It seems to capture the grandeur of the setting but also the intimacy between the bride & father.
No 9 – The black & white is stunning & the moment is really well captured (it is your name after all!!). I think any couple would love to have that shot in their album.
No 13 – for the same reason as above.
No 14 – Like this for its artistic appeal. I just like the composition of it with the back drop. Very Hopper-esque.
If I had to pick 2 absolute favourites then it would be no 9 & 14 (but I still want to vote for all 4). I have a sneaky feeling I have picked 2 of Richard’s, right? Also,is it me or are there no couples in number 17? Hate to point out the obvious guys…
They are all pretty special….
The colours of 12 are amazing so excluding our own one that’s my winner.
But obviously 14 wins for me because you’re just far enough away from me so that you can’t see the terror in my eyes! (I see you photoshopped out the monster….)
Dave
I love 3, 22 and 8
Good luck both!!!
No.18 is brilliant!
But I love no.3 – perhaps a little biased…
But obviously 14 wins for me because you’re just far enough away from me so that you can’t see the terror in my eyes! (I see you photoshopped out the monster….)
There’s so much Loch Ness monster merchandising we’re pretty sure it’s copyrighted. That’s why we had to photoshop it out. Besides which he was grinning stupidly at the camera and ruining the ambiance of the photo.
These are the votes transferred from comments left on our Facebook page.
Jay Jay: 18 is the winner!
Andy: 18 is my choice too.
Lindsay: 18 is brilliant.
Tracey: 21 gets my vote.
Angharad: 21 is my favourite too.
Hi guys I would like to say all of the pictures look truly amazing, but I have to say my favourites are 7 (love the veil trinling down the stairs and 21….lovely.
Kind regards
Billy barrie
Obviously for very biased reasons I love number 21 the most, magical. Thankyou guys. All of the pictures are amazing thou you really do a great job of capturing the emotion of each couples big day.
From Cara:
#7 and #21
Thankyou
I think that the evening shot at Syon House (no 1) gets my vote as the exqusite azure colour of the evening sky is reflected in the pond together with the pinks from the Great Conservatory to form such a fantastic canvas from which, with the clever use of perspective and light, the bride and groom stand clearly and crisply to draw their first kiss as husband and wife.
But then again it is my sister and brother-in-law so I might be a tad biased?!
From Matthew Forrest
My Favorite photo is 1.Evening shot at Syon Park. “A fantastic photo at the end of a fantastic day I love the composition and the lighting captured in this photo it is very dramatic absolutly amazing!
From Theresa and Mike Gower,

Photo number 1 (Syon house)has my vote, it was an amazing day, the bride was stunning.

Number 1 evening shot at Syon Park “Capture It” could not be more apt. A moment in time frozen perfectly, love the vivid colours and striking composition. Just stunning!
Number 1. Evening shot at Syon Park it is beautifully lit against the backdrop of the stunning architecture. Absolutely fantastic picture of a fantastic couple on a fantastic day!
My favourite by a long shot has to be number one truly magnificent photo! Hats off to the photographer!
I am very torn between 7, which captures the true magnificence of the grand staircase, and the awesome pride of the Father walking his amazingly beautiful daughter down the steps,with the wonderful dress and cathedral veil gently floating seamlessly behind, AWESOME, and 21 for the Magical Intimacy you have captured in their Serene and Private Embrace. You are truly remarkable photographers, and it was a pleasure to meet you. Best wishes to you both.

Hi Richard and Sarah, My vote is for photo 1 – such a stunning, dramatic photo and it makes me so so excited about you photographing my wedding at Syon Park later this year!
I also love the romance and composition of photos 12, 21 and 23. Beautiful x
I’d like to vote for photograph number 1 as it is so romantic in the night sky by the lake and a truly wonderful couple at the start of their life together as man and wife – the photographer has really captured the moment well! (All mums think their daughters are wonderful!!!)
I’d like to vote for photo no 1 as I really like the evening setting and the beautiful colours of the sky. The bride and groom look absolutely stunning – what a wonderful picture to treasure!
I would have to say number 1 – it is such a romantic shot – I love the colours, the “pink conservatory” looks amazing against the night
I would like to vote for number one in particular as it captures the end of a lovely wedding day and the start of a new life together
No 1 for me please – most romantic photo of them all with a stunning sunset
No 1 for me -I was there! And this captures the moment in the evening so well. It was the end of a lovely day.
From Rowena Spencer:
I think the definite winner is number 1 Evening Shot of Syon Park. Absolutely spectacular location, the colours are beautiful and the married couple look perfect! A really arty shot.
Hey,
I would like to vote for picture number 1.
Fantastic picture !
Dear Richard and Sarah,
Well done on a lovely collection of photos. Have to say that one stands out from all of the rest for us – No 22. It is the one I would like blown up on my wall and we don’t even know the couple! Wonderful symmetry.
Have to say very proud to see our wee girls as a favourite – No 8. So glad to have bought the china tea set as they played happily for ages with it! Thank you for capturing a great day.
Would love to know who the winner is…. how long do we have to wait?
