{Wedding} Becky & Will's Wedding at Mallory Court, Leamington Spa

The Mallory Court was the venue for Becky & Will's wedding in July.

You'll recognise this lovely couple from their engagement shoot at Winterbourne House and Gardens - here.

{For those of you that remember my Win your Wedding photography competition in January, Becky & Will were the winners!}

It was a beautiful sunny day, and Becky got ready at her Mum & Dad's house in Knowle, and there was a great atmosphere of excitement amongst everybody. The bridesmaids all got dressed in their beautiful gold dresses before helping Becky into her STUNNING limited edition Ian Stuart dress. (This dress is one of only 3 ever made).

The ceremony took place at Knowle Parish Church. There was a small hickup with Becky's grandmother feeling a bit faint in the church, and the ambulance having to be called out whilst the couple were signing the register. But apart from this everything else went really well.

From the church, eveybody went on to the very impressive Mallory Court Hotel, where a string quartet welcomed the guests onto the lawn for the drinks reception.

The entire day was a bit like a fairy tale, and when we saw the room where the reception was going to take place, I don't think anybody could not help but be amazed with the small details that made up the room. From twinkly fairy lights, to gold bows and a beauuuuutiful wedding cake.

This was one of those weddings that the guests are always going to remember and go: " Remember those XXX's at Becky and Will's wedding?"

It was an incredible day and I feel so honoured to have played a part in it!

Here are a few of my favourites from the day...

{Pre Wedding Shoot} Sara & Seb at Danesfield House Hotel

Sara & Seb are getting married later this month at Danesfield House Hotel and I met up with them a few weeks ago for their Pre Wedding Shoot & consultation at the Hotel.

Sara was a little bit nervous when we started, particularly about blinking. She's had a bad experience with a photo session before and wanted to make sure we overcome any potential issues before the wedding, and I think you'll agree that we managed just fine.

Seb is very laid back and was brilliant at putting Sara at ease. He is going to be a real asset on the wedding day, as the nerves always steps up a gear on the day.

We had a stroll round the grounds of the hotel and had great fun choosing locations and trying something different!

They are such an easy going couple that it obviously very much in love, and I can't wait to share their special day at the end of the month.

{Lifestyle} Catford Family Shoot, Worcestershire

A few weeks ago I spent the morning with the Catford family at their home near Pershore.

Chris, one of the sons, had purchased the shoot at a charity auction last December, and for various reasons, it had taken us until now to get it in the diary.

Both boys (and partners) had travelled up, one from London and the other from Southampton, to be here for this family shoot.

There was a lot of bantering and teasing going on, because as somebody pointed out, they had never done anything like this ever before, and I suppose that was just the nerves talking.

We had a good laugh during this shoot, and from what I hear, the merriment continued for the rest of the day. Richard said they had a brilliant day and created a good memory to look back on.

Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot:
