Kevin and I were really looking forward to photographing Lizzie and Phil’s wonderful winterland wedding on 23rd December at the beautiful Hayne Barn House in Saltwood, nr Hythe, Kent. http://www.haynebarnweddings.com/

With a 1920′s theme, it really was the perfect setting for the perfect romantic wedding just before Christmas……It was raining outside, but with the fires roaring inside, nobody cared! Photos will be posted up soon, together with their engagement shoot taken at Whitstable Castle. http://www.whitstablecastle.co.uk/

Jaguar XK8 Shoot, Dungeness, Kent

Jaguar XK shoot

Jaguar XK, Dungeness, Kent

Some shoots are particularly enjoyable, and this was one of them. When we were asked to shoot a client’s ‘classic car’, this wasn’t quite what I was expecting. But what a great car this is, with such strong styling, and in immaculate condition. Perfectly suited to the dramatic backdrop of Dungeness on a slightly wild day. And a wonderful end to the shoot was a very tasty fish lunch at The Pilot; doesn’t get any fresher.

The Wedding of Keeley and Mike at Cooling Castle Barn, Rochester

Having met with Mike and Keeley for a really fun pre wedding shoot in Canterbury a few weeks before their wedding, I knew the wedding day itself at Cooling Castle Barn, Rochester would be wonderful. I was absolutely right, every detail was beautifully thought out and was as fun and stylish as Mike and Keeley themselves. It was wonderful to be part of Keeley and Mike’s day – they were surrounded by some amazing family and friends, who made us so welcome, and having got to know Keeley and Mike just a little, it was easy to see why they are so loved by everyone. Here is a selection of my favourite shots from their day ♡

This was a great shoot – five girls in a very cool vintage camper van, (Bo Blue) celebrating with the bride to be, with champagne, cream cakes, strawberries……in the middle of the Kent countryside. What’s not to like? To capture the girls looking their best, we took some gorgeous photos, and left them to enjoy themselves!

The hen party picnic photo shoot is a wonderful experience – you with 5 friends, taken in Bo Blue to a location of your choice for a champagne picnic, followed by a makeover from the fabulous http://www.bridalbeautybyemma.co.uk/ followed by a photoshoot by Fleur Challis Photography.

Met with Debbie and Bob at their wedding venue – Dover Ramada Hotel, Dover, a couple of weeks before the big day to chat over final details. We had decided to have their pre wedding shoot there, as the gardens are pretty. The shoot was great fun and I think Debbie and Bob soon forgot their nerves and were enjoying a bit of time together getting used to being in front of the camera! Here are a couple of images from the day……

Bridal shoot at Hayne Barn House Wedding Venue

The Wedding of Andy & Sophia, The Marquis, Alkham, Dover, Kent

The wedding of Andy and Sophia – wow, what a wonderfully stylish occasion this was! Having got to know Andy and Sophia a little prior to their wedding, this was no surprise. Their pre wed shoot was so full of fun and love, it was a joy to photograph, as was their wedding. Sophia had her bridal preparations at a friend’s exquisite Georgian house in Bridge, near Canterbury, who also did her hair and make-up so beautifully. The ceremony was then carried out at Marquis Church, Alkham, in Dover, followed by a wedding breakfast at The Marquis, Alkham. We were delighted to be part of Andy and Sophia’s day and aren’t they such a beautiful couple! ♡
