When I’m asked for favourite wedding venues photographically, I’ll respond with; “They’re all elegant and absorbing photographically for their own respective reasons and features.” Now I realise that must sound like I’ve perched myself atop a very comfortable fence and is one strong step towards a career in estate agency, but I really do mean it. That’s what makes my job of photographic wedding coverage so incredibly compelling. Last year in ’07, I photographed weddings at a varied collection of venues, from stately homes that are the playgrounds of the rich and famous, to good honest ‘no frills but plenty of character’ public houses. However… (you could sense a ‘but’ about to be popped into the column) Silchester House remains an exceptionally precious wedding venue, due to the simple fact that I enjoyed my own wedding reception there. I often comment to couples in football terms, that it feels like we’re ‘playing at home’ the moment we pull into the driveway. It’s a light and welcoming house, with sizeable grounds for photography. Here are some shots from Alex and Emmie’s recent Silchester wedding.
Very beautiful work!
Thanks Kostas, always helps when you have a couple who throw themselves into the plans for photography. Emmie and Alex were fantastic when it came to that.
We had such a great wedding day and really enjoyed working with you guys. Emmie (also a wedding tog) loved being in front of the camera for a change and we were both so thrilled with all the beautiful pictures you took. Thanks again. Emmie & Alex xxx
An absolute pleasure Emmie, always a particular privilege and very flattering to be commissioned to photograph a wedding tog’s wedding!
