Amanda and Summer go to the beach.


When Amanda and Jonathan asked me about a wedding post-shoot with a difference we where quite intrigued. Amanda’s idea initially want to have her Gorgeous Horse (Summer) to the wedding venue and have some shots her and Summer in front of the venue, however the management did not want large hoof prints on the lawn. Understandable.
The weather as you know has been very challenging this year. So a new idea was born, Amanda wanted to ride her horse on a beach, so we look at some locations that was closest to home, we found a perfect beach in North wales, long wide and quiet. So at last the day came we arrived at the beach to be greeting with quite heavy clouds a cold easterly wind and the odd shower, so perhaps not the best of days.  Amanda said that Summer had never been on a beach before and was not quite sure of her reaction to the sand and sea, but that was all in vein, as Summer started to warm up she loved every minute of it.
Amanda although quite cold loved it too, it was just up to me to try and capture the excitement. When we did some galloping shots, you cannot but feel the sense of awe when a fully grown horse comes thundering past you, Truly an amazing experience. Here are just a small selection from the day, we are really looking forward to seeing them printed.  Enjoy! 

Thank you Amanda and Jonathan and of course Summer for a fantastic shoot, you are all truly wonderful.

Jessica & Chris at Brockencote Hall {Mr & Mrs Hough}


Heart Weddings returns to the elegant victorian house, Brockencote Hall. This is our first time back since the facelift of the interior and it does not disappoint. One the main features that has changed is the new bar in the conservatory area, the main dining room has received a complete makeover and is just gorgeous, visit the website and see photographs of the newly designed luxury rooms. Jessica and Chris decided to book this venue some 18 months ago, after visiting many other venues Jessica set her heart on Brockencote Hall Country side Hotel,  Brockencote Hall Hotel offers some of the finest country side views in worcester and set in over 70 acres of parkland. The service as you would expect from such a prestigious victorian country house is simply 1st class. Jessica runs her own business in kidderminster, besides her husband Chris, Jessica's life revolves around dogs and cats and animals in general. The day started  at Jessica’s parents home with all the girls in kidderminster. Jessica also decided that diamonds are truly a girls best friend, she chose a unique collect from Adam Bourne, the engagement and wedding ring was stunning and with  diamond necklace, bracelet and earrings to complete the collection. Jimmy Choo and Pandora also made an appearance. The ceremony was held at St Cassians church in Chaddesley Corbett, after the service its just a short drive the venue the sun was out in full glory. Jessica and Chris will be honeymooning in Las Vagas, LA, then on to Hawaii. Here is a collection of images from the day, thank you all for dropping by, trust we will see you all again soon.
