Natural Wedding Photography at Gildings Barn | Danny & Mike

Dani and Mike's wedding ceremony took place in the little village of Capel near Dorking in Surrey, just a few minutes from the family home.

Their afternoon drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening celebrations all happened in and around Gildings Barn in Newdigate, also in Surrey.

Gildings Barn provides the perfect environment for more intimate and relaxed documentary wedding photography, and Mike and Dani's was just that. Not even the torrential rain we had that afternoon dampened spirits.

This good, positive vibe continued right through to the end of the night.

It was great fun to cover and especially good to get to know this charming couple's closest friends and family.

Here is just a little of my favourite Surrey wedding photos from the day.

Asian Wedding at London Syon Park

I have plenty of interesting and quirky shoots waiting to be featured on the blog but this week I'd like to showcase my very favourite images from Amanda and Kevin's Asian reportage wedding photography in London.

I say in and around, in fact, we zigzagged across London starting with the first of two traditional tea ceremonies at Amanda's parents in East London, this was swiftly followed by a service at Christ the King Church just minutes up the road.

After the church service, we wrestled our way over to west London for the second tea ceremony at Kevin's parents. Finally, we arrived at the very new and very impressive London Syon Park.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Martin Phelps who kindly second shot. I've many, many favourites from this documentary wedding coverage but if I had to pick a favourite it would, without doubt, be the portrait of the man with the oversized tie, keep an eye out for it...

Country Wedding at Wick Bottom Barn

Emma and Ben's wedding was an intimate affair set in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside that we all call home. Our children go to the same school and so Ben and Emma have become good friends over the last couple of years, it was a real privilege to be asked to document the wedding day.

The Wiltshire wedding ceremony was held at St Nicholas' Church in Lower Fyfield and unfortunately, the vicar was one of the most anti-photographer sorts I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, so no ceremony photographs, however, the rest of the day more than made up for it.

Wick Bottom Barn is set in a small valley near Rockly, nestled in amongst the stunning Marlborough Downs. The barn has been tastefully restored and is essentially a blank canvas for couples to design their wedding reception around. Ben and Emma had gone to considerable effort with a few very late nights of setting up and plenty of wedding DIY'ing!

If you're considering Wick Bottom Barn as your wedding venue then please make sure you fill it to the brim with candles as it's an incredibly dark building.

For any potential couples arriving on this page, I'm afraid I don't have contact details for the barn, sorry.
