I’m just off to see a couple in Winslowe house, Southampton.
I really hope I get this wedding as it’s a themed one (although they’ve not told me what the theme is yet!)
I’ll let you know if I get it.

Kelly & Vanessa have asked me to photograph their upcoming Civil Partnership Ceremony here in Southampton.
This will be only the second Civil Partnership I have covered and I’m really looking forward to it.
I’ll post some pictures here when I’ve done it.
I posted the other day about the wedding at the Hotel Terravina in Southampton that I had and promised to upload a pictures so here you go.
The day went well and the weather held enough for us to get some great shots outside.
Speak soon.

Hotel Terravina
Just a quick blog to express my shock at how many wedding photographers in Southampton there are now!
I’ve been doing this job for years now and you tend to know the people around you quite well.
It seems that there are a lot of people who have picked up a digital camera and think they’ll have a go at doing someones wedding.
I hope that they’re well prepared! (and insured!!!)
Am sitting with Paul Murphy (a photographer friend of mine from Winchester) in a coffee shop in Winchester.
We’ve just looked at the weather for Saturday and it’s not looking good!
Luckily my wedding is at the Hotel Terravina and with the chic modern interior I’m going to be able to get some great shots inside.
Will upload some pictures from the wedding next week.
Hooray!
The weathermen were wrong and we had no rain at all today for the wedding of Tammy & Jason.
Everything went great despite the Priest at the Church being grumpy!

I’ve just seen the weather forecast for Saturday
It’s forecasting rain which is not good as I have a wedding at St. Andrews Church in Hamble.
Fingers crossed that they’ve got it wrong!
Just a little brag really but one of my weddings has been nominated for wedding of the year in the You And Your Wedding magazine.
Results are out next month so fingers crossed.
Steph & Glynn were married on Friday at the Potters Heron.
The weather changed from rain all week to sunshine on the day of their wedding – fantastic!
The lucky pair are in Jamaica for 2 weeks now.

I booked another wedding today at the Potters Heron in Ampfield.
Natalie and Daniel were originally getting married at Rhinefield House but have moved the venue to Ampfield Church with the reception just down the road at The Potters Heron.
Although the wedding isn’t until 2010 Natalie & Daniel wanted to get things sorted now and after meeting up with them yesterday we’ve booked things in for next year.
I’m looking forward to next year already!

I just booked another wedding at the Chilworth Manor Hotel in the New Forest.
I do love this venue, it’s so picturesque. Looking forward to this one.
Had a fantastic wedding last Friday at Bitterne Church followed by the DeVere New Place at Shirrell Heath.
The wedding was the son of a very close friend of mine Colin.
Matthew & Fiona are now in Cape Verde enjoying the sun.
Just a quick note to say I did book the lovely Steph & Glynn tonight for their wedding at the Potters Heron so will be looking forward to doing that one in May
I have another enquiry to go to this evening for the Potters Heron at Ampfield near Romsey.
I do love this venue, since the refurb that they have had it’s a really lovely and modern place to get married.
Their wedding bookings seem to be increasing so I guess that the word is getting around about them.
I’ll post how I get on.
I’ve just taken a booking for later this year at The Waters Edge in Dibden, near Southampton.
Fiona and Alex are getting married at Romsey Register office and the reception will be back at The Waters Edge which is at Dibden Golf Course
Just booked my first wedding at Careys Manor. Quite looking forward to it as although a lot of my photographer friends have done weddings there, I’ve not yet done one.
Spent today looking around the place with my camera in hand to scout it out so looking forward to the big day.

Careys Manor
Lorna and Ian had a wonderful day today, the weather was fantastic as was the wedding itself.
A couple of photo’s from the day are below.
Jackie & Dave were married at the Hotel Terravina at the weekend.
Once again the weather was fine and the couple looked fantastic.
Well it had to happen didn’t it?!
I have been so lucky this year with avoiding the rain but there was no getting away from it on Friday. It teemed it down!
Luckily there was just a big enough break in the rain to get the shots we needed for Annie and Chris.
Highcliffe Castle in Bournemouth makes a very dramatic setting for a wedding.
Sophie & Nick got married in style with the reception at Westover Hall
Yesterday was the wedding of Leanne and Stuart at the Lyndhurst Park Hotel.
The day was fantastic and the bride looked radiant as I’m sure you’ll agree.
Can’t wait to show the couple the final prints.
Yesterdays wedding went very well and what a lovely church St. Peters at Curdrige is.
Here are some photo’s of Jo and Simon from the day.
I had the privilege of being the photographer at Nicky and Graham’s wedding this weekend.
Not only did the weather forecast get it COMPLETELY wrong (thank goodness!) the day was fantastic!
The wedding was at Bitterne Church of England and the reception was at Ford (the car company’s!) social club!
Although this sounds odd the club is fantastic and the place looked amazing as a specialist catering company had decked the place out.
Unusually the groom on this occasion took the bride’s surname rather than the more common instance of the bride taking the grooms.
The lucky pair are in Jamaica at the moment so will not be able to see their pics until they come home complete with tan no doubt.
I have been booked today to do a wedding at Curdridge Church this August.
This is the shortest lead time I’ve ever had!
The wedding is 2 weeks away, nothing like leaving it to the last minute!
Saturday’s wedding was fantastic!
Not only was the ceremony at St. Peters church in Winchester beautiful but the reception was at the amazing Lainsone House near Winchester.
This venue is incredible. Fantastic building set in gorgeous grounds.
Wish I had more there this year.
Had a lovely wedding on Friday. The wedding itself was at a Salvation Army Church and the reception was at the Botleigh Grange Hotel in Botley (funnily enough!)
The forecast was rain (again) and the sun shined the whole day! I’m so glad they got it wrong!
I booked another wedding for the lovely Chilworth Manor Hotel today. I love this venue, it’s one of my favourites.
Looking forward to the day.

I’ve got an interesting wedding this weekend. The wedding is at the Winchester Hotel which is a very modern hotel, very light and airy, which has a civil licence.
What is interesting is that ALL of the pictures will be inside as there is no place to take pictures outside (unless you want them on the main road!!!)
I’ll post some pictures here for you to see after the weekend.
