One of our favourite venues is the lovely Gate Street Barn in Bramley Surrey. Located near Guildford it really is a fabulous venue in the heart of the countryside.

This Sunday, 8th January they have an Open Day and you’re all invited. This is a wonderful opportunity to see this lovely setting, enjoy some stunning scenery, meet lots of lovely wedding suppliers, including florists, caterers, make up artists and a magician. You might even get to sample some yummy food too!

The open day is from 9.30am to 4.30pm .

Come and see us and chat about your wedding plans. We’re really looking forward to seeing you there.

Hannah and Alex did just that and threw a fantastic party and a wonderful wedding celebration. Not a small feat seeing as they had just a few months to organise it. Full marks have to go to Philippa, Hannah’s mum who worked tirelessly behind the scenes with great success.

You may recognise Hannah as just a few months earlier she was a bridesmaid for her sister Martha. It was lovely to see the family again and enjoy meeting Alex’s relatives, especially flower girl Matilda who provided us with endless photo opportunities and was a star all day.

We just want to say a big thank you to everyone for making us feel so welcome and we hope you enjoy our favourite images.

The wedding day was full of emotion and love and we were so glad to be there to capture all those little moments. We also got to work with I-do Wedding films again who are excellent videographers and highly recommended.

Grant and Caroline live in Australia, in fact they actually have a house on Manly Beach, Sydney – a far cry from the leafy suburbs of Surrey. They are having another big party on their return to Australia with friends and family and we hope it goes as well as the one here. We also hope that one day we’ll get to visit them in Sydney!!

Here are some of our favourite images from their day:

But the exterior of Clandon Park is also wonderful for wedding photography. The cloud formation at sunset gave us the opportunity for some very dramatic shots at the front of the house.

We really wanted to thank Steve and Jenny for investing so much of their time in the photography; we think we’ve got some truly great shots. What do you think? Please leave a comment below.

The great thing about photographing fellow enthusiasts is that they really invest time in the photography side of the day. Jonathan and Elyse had sought out a lovely spot for us to get some great portraits of the two of them. They were even accommodating when we spotted the fabulous sunset just before the speeches!!

Thanks so much for your investment guys, we hope you’re having an amazing honeymoon and we look forward to seeing you on your return.

All the above meant that we have literally hundreds of favourite images; far too many for the blog to handle. Then we chose our favourite favourites and still ended up with over a hundred. So below are our top 40 favourite favourites.

Chris & Martha chose excellent wedding suppliers for their special day. Makeup was by Antonia Krieger and the stunning flowers were provided by Michelle at Wheeler’s of Turnham Green. Martha’s mother Phillipa suggested putting apples among the flowers in the table pieces and Michelle has done an outstanding job. We think the bouquet has to go down as best bouquet ever.

Er, what should we put?

Chris had arranged for a rose to be named after Martha.

Wow what an interesting venue! It’s right by the Thames and with the London Eye opposite there certainly were some great places to take photos.

Ali really worked hard on all the little details of the wedding. She designed and made her stunning dress with some help from her mum. Ali made the cake and she also placed lots of little details throughout the venue including a selection of photographs from parents and close families’ weddings. These little touches really added a personal feel to the day.

The rest of the photographs will ready shortly in our recent weddings section. Contact the couple for the password.

There was such a relaxed feel at the wedding and all the couple’s hard work before the wedding paid off as the day went very smoothly.

The children at the wedding were full of character and it was great to see them thoroughly enjoying the wedding day. It made for some great photo moments.

That well known pre-wedding combination of Gin & Tonic with banana to keep the groom nourished throughout the day!

What an amazing fascinator.

Babies learn to read so quickly these days!!

All that reading has tired her out.

William Wallace Junior makes a surprise attack during the group shots!

But this wedding wasn’t just all about the places. There was real love and emotion from everybody there. We’re really pleased to have captured the tear in the bridesmaid’s eye as the couple exchange their vows. And the affection between the couple was obvious throughout the day.

Enjoy just a few of our favourites and please leave a comment to tell us what you think.
