Tom & Alicia's Wedding at St Marks Church, Highcliffe & Parley Manor, Christchurch

Tom & Alicia got married in April 2011 at St Mark's Church in Highcliffe, and then held their Wedding Reception at Parley Manor, Christchurch.

Alicia didn't have any preparation shots taken, so I went straight to church to capture Tom and his Groomsmen, both little & big!

Tom didn't want a big 'photo-shoot' Wedding, so I kept things as relaxed as possible, and was able to get some nice natural shots.


The Bridesmaids arrived at Church first, followed by Alicia with her Dad in a beautiful open-topped classic Wedding car.


The Wedding ceremony was lovely, and afterwards, as the weather was perfect, we were able to spend a good amount of time outside in the Church grounds taking some of the requested group shots, and also a number of the more natural, reportage images.



The Newly Weds then headed to Parley Manor, where they were able to have a bit of time and few shots together, before the Wedding Party arrived.


Again, the good weather made it possible for everyone to mingle outside in the grounds of this fabulous venue, and gave me plenty of opportunity for capturing the guests.








Congratulations Tom & Alicia!


Thankyou for choosing me as your Wedding Photographer, and may you have every happiness in your future together!


I am a Parley Manor Partner Photographer.

Andy & Claire's Wedding at St John's Church, Boscombe and The Royal Bath Hotel

Andy & Claire were married in April 2011 at St Andrew's Church in Boscombe, and held their reception at The Royal Bath Hotel in Bournemouth.

I arrived at Claire's parents' house in the morning to capture the Bride & her Bridesmaids getting ready, and then headed to St Andrew's Church to meet up with Andy & the Boys.

Claire then arrived at Church in a classic Wedding car with her Dad.



The Church of England marriage ceremony was lovely, and afterwards I was able to capture a good amount of natural shots of the Newly Weds and their guests.

A Red London Bus had been hired to transport the guests from Church to the reception venue, which looked fab! I love this shot of Claire & Andy hanging off the back!




It was amazing weather, with plenty of hot sunshine and blue skies, so we were able to get most of the group shots that Claire & Andy had requested outside, either at Church or in the grounds of The Royal Bath Hotel.

You can see just how warm the day was by the amount of people on Bournemouth beach behind Andy & Claire.








Congratulations Andy & Claire, and I wish you all the best for your future together!
