Inspiring army wedding

Simon and Katie — the per­fect army wedding

I asked a lit­tle ques­tion on Twit­ter last week: “Who likes a man in uni­form? I have a wed­ding I’d like to fea­ture…?” and straight away the replies came back, all along the lines of Yes Please! and includ­ing men­tions of fire­men and post­men… but this wed­ding is a cracker, with gor­geous sol­diers and a truly inspir­ing story behind it.

The pho­tographs were sent to me by wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Colin Green­lees, whose con­nec­tions with the Royal Anglian Reg­i­ment Benev­o­lent Char­ity led him to Simon and Katie as they planned their wed­ding. Simon had been seri­ously injured in Afghanistan and had under­gone inten­sive treat­ment back in the UK since his return home.

Choosing a wedding photographer

Posted on June 9, 2010 by Claire

As I’ve just blogged Andrew and Anne’s Tyl­ney Hall wed­ding by Green­lees Pho­tog­ra­phy, I thought it would be a good oppor­tu­nity to share some advice about choos­ing a wed­ding photographer.

Colin Green­lees is an excel­lent wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher, mem­ber of the Inter­na­tional Soci­ety of Pro­fes­sional Wed­ding Pho­tog­ra­phers (there are only around 30 mem­bers in the UK) and loves work­ing with brides and grooms to cap­ture their wed­ding mem­o­ries so beautifully.

If you haven’t yet cho­sen your wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher, do read the advice on Colin’s web­site before you do. It’s writ­ten to help brides and grooms across the coun­try, you don’t have to be in the Hert­ford­shire area or con­sid­er­ing Green­lees Pho­tog­ra­phy for your wed­ding — this is valid advice wher­ever you are.  Read more…

Tylney Hall wedding

Anne and Andrew in the grounds of Tyl­ney Hall

This beau­ti­ful wed­ding with a red theme is from Green­lees Pho­tog­ra­phy. Anne and Andrew mar­ried in May at Tyl­ney Hall in Hampshire.

The pho­tos struck me for two rea­sons — the red theme with pink accents works beau­ti­fully, I love a wed­ding full of colour. Anne’s bou­quet had red and pink roses, and her brides­maids’ bou­quets were pink ger­beras, which look stun­ning against the red brides­maid dresses. More impor­tantly, Anne is amaz­ing and her smile and the way she laughs makes these pic­tures a delight to look at! As for Andrew, he looks so very proud of his gor­geous bride.  Read more…

Emerald Isle wedding

Posted on May 9, 2010 by Claire

What set­ting could be more roman­tic than Ire­land for a wed­ding? With lovely cas­tles, a rich his­tory and a famously warm wel­come, this Irish wed­ding looks like a real treat.

Cap­tur­ing the spirit of a won­der­ful wed­ding day in Ireland

I loved this wed­ding instantly when I stum­bled across it on the wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy web­site and blog of Green­lees Pho­tog­ra­phy. Based in Hert­ford­shire, wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Colin Green­lees was lucky enough to be invited over to Ire­land to shoot Jo & David’s wed­ding in May.

Crondon Park wedding

Posted on April 14, 2010 by Claire

I love these wed­ding pho­tographs from Mel and Dan’s Eng­lish wed­ding in Essex, at Cron­don Park Golf & Coun­try Club. The bride and groom live in Aus­tralia, and as Dan is orig­i­nally from Eng­land, they decided to have their wed­ding here. I’m glad they did! (or I’d have to start a whole new Aus­tralian Wed­ding blog to fea­ture this!)

Mel's wedding shoes

I love the back­drop for this pic­ture — and the shoes are perfect.

Mel’s wed­ding shoes are lovely, with sim­ple dou­ble bows on the open toe, and cute lit­tle heels. I love the frame of the mir­ror behind the shoes on the man­tel­piece as well, it adds a lovely tex­ture and rich colour to the photograph.
