London Wedding In National Trust Tudor House.

By Nigel | Published May 15, 2011

City Wedding

My last wedding was my first inner city wedding, I am quite fortunate that normally I get to visit some spectacular country venues and churches which offer great locations for wedding photography. The wedding of Peter and Lorraine offered me a slightly different challenge, instead of a large airy church with ample space to manoeuvre silently about during the ceremony to get the required shots, I had to content with low ceilings and streaming sunlight flooding through the windows.

Sutton House situated in the heart of east London and built in 1535 by prominent courtier of Henry VIII, Sir Ralph Sadleir, Sutton House retains much of the atmosphere of a Tudor home. This wonderful building is a hidden treasure, a window into the past surrounded by the hustle and bustle of modern day life.

Challenges at the location ranged from restricted space to move, squeaking floors, and the large amount of oak panelling. However all those minor issues just fade into the background once you get raped up in the beauty of the building and ceremony that you are there to record.

Once the ceremony was complete and after capturing some images of the Bride and Groom enjoying a well deserved glass of champagne in the tranquil court yard, I took the wedding party and the quests to a nearby park to find some shade and space to get the group shots.

I hope you enjoy the slideshow and if you are ever in London for the day I recommend that you visit Sutton House and take a step back in time.

Ellie and Garry’s Wedding.

By Nigel | Published July 14, 2010

I was lucky enough to shoot Ellie and Garry’s Wedding last Saturday which for me was a special day being as Ellie is my Niece, the day went off without a hitch and the weather gods were kind to say the least.

If truth be told I think they got a little excited as the weather was astounding and myself and fellow photographer Tony almost melted due to the heat.

The Church and Reception Venue plus the overall day could not have gone better, and a great time was had by everyone including the Happy Couple.

As of yet I have not sorted and processed all of the images however I have managed to get a few completed for this blog entry, I must also apologise for the lack of entries over the last couple of months work and family commitments prevented me from finding additional time to add any images or post, however things should be returning to normal now so watch this space for more posts.

Below is a small gallery of images if you click on one of the images it will open full size and you will be able to navigate through the gallery with the controls at the bottom right of the image.
