WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AYNHOE PARK, THE COTSWOLDS, OXFORDSHIRE

Aynhoe Park Wedding Photography

Aynhoe Park Wedding of Hannah and Henri is one of the most exciting wedding I’ve photographed this year. When Jay asked me to second shoot the wedding with him, I was really very excited. Aynhoe Park is luxurious British country house. Its a 17th century, Grade II listed Palladian house set in 25o Acres of Capability Brown gardens. The house is owned by James Perkins who is a veteran of British music industry. He has collected some remarkable treasures from across the globe. The whole house is a treat to the eyes. Its got artifacts all over. Some possessions included a Lion with a crown, a polar bear draped in a union jack, a bear wearing old fashioned Pilot’s cap and goggles, life size giraffe in the orangery and my list can go on and on. Hannah and Henri had set up their own small little fair for the guest, so be it a coconut shack or a popcorn vendor, hoopla or mini-archery. Sofa’s were laid out in the garden where the guests relaxed in the morning before the wedding by reading news papers or indulging themselves into the games organized by the lovely couple. The wedding took place in the beautiful orangery in the house with very high ceilings, wall decorated with marble statues and beautiful light steaming through the windows. I loved the wedding cake. It was a penguin in the form of a cake.  This Aynhoe Park Wedding has been the most exciting wedding I’ve photographed over the years.

Here are some of the pictures from the day that I love.

Wedding Photography Essex

Posted inAsian Wedding,Civil Ceremony,Hindu Wedding,Wedding Photography Essex,Wedding Photography Vaulty Manor,Weddings

The day was looking really busy with lots going on all through the day.  A civil ceremony, traditional Hindu wedding and reception, all packed into one day. It was a beautiful day with lovely blue skies. The wedding took place in a stunning Vaulty Manor in Heybridge, Essex.

Shimon and Adam are a lovely couple. One of the most relaxed bride and groom, I’ve come across.  Civil ceremony started with just close family and friends and then rest of the guest started arriving before the start of Hindu ceremony. There were some beautiful moments during the entire wedding. After the Hindu ceremony was over, Adam and Shimon were standing and listening to what priest was saying. The priest then said that whoever now sits down first will rule the house hold. Before Adam could realize, Shimon was already sitting down. It was a very funny moment, which can’t be described in words. It could have been just experienced. The entire hall burst out laughing.

Just before the reception, Adam’s Grandpa took an Aston Martin for a spin. The entire family was excited and so was Grandpa. It was so good to see his expressions when he came back from the drive and to listen to his experience.

Shimon and Adam entered the reception hall along with the duet between the bagpipe and dhol. It was an experience to hear something so good. Who can imagine a duet between a bagpipe and a dhol. Two different instruments from two different countries. But it worked perfect. They had not even practiced it. It was beautiful.

It was a lovely wedding. Here are some of the pictures from the day.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL, LONDON

Posted inWedding Photography London,Wedding Photography St. Paul's Cathedral,Weddings

Wedding photography at St Paul’s Cathedral is a great privilege and an honor. And I consider myself to be fortunate to be able to photograph there twice. Portia and Yann are a lovely couple. It was a pleasure to photograph their wedding. It was a great day. Both Portia and Yann got ready at the Grange Hotel nearby.

Although St. Paul’s Cathedral is a stunning venue to get married in, there are strict rules to be followed to be a wedding photographer at St. Paul’s Cathedral. The photographers are not allowed inside the crypt during the ceremony. I could only photograph from the door, till the time the first hymn was sung and after that the doors were closed and I was left out till Portia and Yann were about to sign the register.

After the ceremony, we were to go the the venue by the boat. This was really exciting. Portia and Yann had arranged for lots of balloons to be delivered to St. Paul’s Cathedral and almost everyone was given a balloon. It was so good to see everyone walking to the pier with balloons in their had.  Only thing that was worrying me was the rain. It was supposed to rain for the whole day. But luckily it didn’t rain when we were out taking the photos. It only started raining heavily when I left the reception venue and started walking towards the tube station. It didn’t bother me much. The job was done and I was happy.

Here are some of the pictures from the day.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY ESSEX

Posted inWedding Photography Essex,Weddings

It was a beautiful day. Sun made an appearance after a week of rains. It was a small wedding with only close friends and family. Chloe was 8 months pregnant at that time and looked absolutely gorgeous. Tom looked great in his blue suit and pink socks.  The ceremony took place in a beautiful St. Mary’s Church in Langdon Hills. This is the first wedding where I did not get the time to speak to the Vicar. I usually do speak to Vicar beforehand. Its always good to obey what they say. This vicar was very strict. He stopped in the middle of the service to ask me to move back. Ooops!!

The reception took place in a lovely award winning Whitmore Arms pub in Orsett, Essex set in a beautiful location.

Here are some of the pictures from the day that I love.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY LE GOTHIQUE, WANDSWORTH, LONDON : ANITA AND SIMON

Posted inWedding Photography Le Gothique,Wedding Photography London,Wedding Photography Wandsworth,Weddings

A very close friend of mine, Abhay, referred me to one of her colleague Anita. He said, she needs a photographer for her engagement. When I spoke to Anita, she said she wanted me for the whole day. I was a bit surprised as engagements don’t usually last that long. But when I met them, they told me that they are actually getting married on that day and they have not told anyone. Only their families knew about it. Anita’s brother was to announce their wedding once all the guests would have come in and then Anita and Simon would have walked in. I was so looking forward to see surprised look on people’s faces. But things do not always go as per plan. People had already started coming in after the traditional Chinese Tea ceremony was over. But it was still great to see people’s expression and the surprised looks on their faces.

It was the most chilled out wedding that I’ve come across. Wedding ceremony was followed by the Tea ceremony and then the guest arrival and barbeque. Wedding took place in Le Gothique which is set within a grade II listed building called The Royal Victoria Patriotic Building. This building has got a great history. Built in 1857, has served  as an orphange, hospital during World War I and detention and interrogation centre of MI5 and MI6 during World War 2.

People were dressed casually. The flowers were done by Groom’s mother. When I arrived everyone in both the families were setting up the tables. The wine bottles were used as flower vases and two of the pictures from the pre wedding shoots were used as bottle labels. No speeches. It was a fantastic day, lovely couple and no rain for a change. Here are some of the pictures I love from the day.
