Michelle & Nick's wedding at Lainston House

We've been very busy over the last couple of weeks documenting a variety of weddings and events across the country - dealing with an assortment of faiths, cultures and varying degrees of exhaustion!

This variety really keeps us on our toes. For instance last Sunday we documented an insane 14 hour Chinese wedding at Greenwich College in London, and yet I spent just a few hours documenting Michelle and Nick's charming little English wedding in the Hampshire countryside but it's still up there with my very favourites.

Their traditional church marriage was conducted at St Stephens in Sparsholt by a particularly quirky vicar. This was swiftly followed by a very relaxed and fun wedding wedding reception at Lainston House which is just a few minutes drive from the church.

We were incredibly fortunate with the weather, in fact I remember it being almost too sunny at certain moments of the coverage, a far cry from what we've all been dealing with over the last couple of weeks!

Here are just a few of my very favourite documentary wedding photographs from this small wedding in Hampshire.

Wedding Photojournalism at The Soho Hotel London

Hannah and Darren's classy wedding took place at the distinctive Soho Hotel in London. The couple only invited their very closest family and friends so the entire day had a warm and intimate atmosphere - the low light of the Soho's rooms and corridors only encouraging this mood to continue throughout the proceedings.

Most of my reportage wedding photography takes place in London and this is without question one of my favourite venues to document at to date. In terms of quirky, it's right up there with venues such as Aynhoe Park in Oxfordshire - a favourite venue I'll be working at again in the next few months. The Soho Hotel just oozes class and is truly distinctive whilst remaining discreet - tucked away at the end of an indistinguishable side road in the very heart of bustling Soho. You might like to go straight to my London wedding photography page, it features lot's of pictures created during my city of London photography commissions.

Despite the slight delays in the schedule caused by diversions and congestion in the area, not helped by the Chinese New Year, the day ran without a hitch, Hannah's dad even managed to watch the ceremony live from Cyprus via an iPad!

Documentary wedding photography at the Radisson Edwardian, Canary Wharf

I recently documented Gemma and Leon's elegant wedding at the Hotel Radisson Edwardian in Canary Wharf, London.

The Radission Edwardian in Canary Wharf is quite simply stunning, I'm not overly keen on new venues but the layout of the Radission really lends itself to my style of reportage wedding photography. The available light is exceptional and the rooms and corridors are cleverly thought out - there's always potential to create more dimensional, layered images with the merging spaces and competing viewpoints in one form or another.

Being on the river makes it ideal to take couples for a five to ten-minute walk for portraiture and fortunately, on this day, we had beautiful warm winter sun during our walk.

I'm so pleased with Gemma and Leon's London wedding photos, their ceremony overlooked the 02 Arena and their drinks reception took place in the mirrored hallway and gallery bar before guests were called into the main room for the wedding breakfast, speeches and evening entertainment.

It was quite an emotional day for Gemma's family and I felt truly privileged to be part of it and to get to know them all.

Hey Allister

Wow.....is all we have to say...

Thank you so so much from the bottom of our hearts, you have told our story down to a tee.

They are perfect in every way and more than we could have hoped for!
