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.

Wedding Photography Wandsworth

Phil and Steve's wedding in London was made up of three key chapters, the first of these small chapters documented their civil partnership at Wandsworth Town Hall. Shortly afterwards, we walked a mile or so to have some afternoon drinks before some informal speeches at The Waterfront on Battersea Reach, we then finished the day by walking along the river to Marco Polo.

The whole day had a relaxed atmosphere with a very clear emphasis on what's important to the couple; their closest family and friends. And, because of the intimate nature of the day, it was incredibly rewarding to work on as a documentary wedding photographer.

The pictures you took that day are so evocative of the atmosphere and happiness of the occasion.

It was very special and everyone there made an emotional contribution to the 'feel' of the event. Looking through the documentary photography gives me a shock of recognition each time I view them, they bring a lump to my throat!

Peter and I enjoyed meeting Steve and Phil's other guests and your presence was so subtle and unobtrusive, but the pictures really capture all the laughter and engagement evident on everyone's face, which we will always remember as a special characteristic of the whole day.

Thank you so much for giving us all a record of a special and memorable day in the history of our family.

Sincerely

Cilia and Peter Clinton
