Lisa and Chris tied the knot at the end of November in Rickmansworth followed by a reception at Hunton Park. As you can see from the highlights below, they had a fantstic day and didn’t stop smiling. The weather was kind enough not to rain and I think excitement kept Lisa warm when we took a few photographs in the grounds before returning them to the warm and their guests who were being entertained by a string quartet and a caricturist.
There was a warm Christmassy feel to the marquee decorated in their rich purple colour scheme with flowers, Christmas trees and the most delicious smelling tower of chocolate desserts which had a wedding cake teir on the top.
We hope you enjoy the selection below…
I recently contributed to the latest research publication at the University of Hertfordshire. I created the profile images of the the individual professors. The full publication is available to view here. Photographing the professors for this is always very exciting for me as you never really what will be created by the end of the shoot with that person. I like to see the environment around learn a little about the research they are doing and try and develop an image whitch can have a sense of meaning and had gravitas to the article.

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of photographing Clare and Henry’s wedding at Fanhams Hall in Ware. After a rainy few days we were all relieved and delighted that we had a gorgeous sunny day. Clare looked perfect in her lace wedding dress with flowing train and all the thought and planning they had put into the day came together to make an enjoyable and memorabe day. After the beautiful ceremony in the Great Hall, guests enjoyed the drinks reception in the stunning grounds, and were entertained by a magician. The flowers, in the ivory and purple colour scheme were created by Sally at Halo Blossom.
Here are a few images from the day, the rest will be online next week via the web site. Enjoy!
We recently had some images printed in “The Sun” newspaper for an article on weddings at Highclere Castle which is also known as Downton Abbey. Karen & Doug known as the Plunketts in the Article got married there last year. It was a stunning venue to work at. Here is the full post from back then. http://www.ianscottphotography.co.uk/blog/2010/09/karen-dougs-wedding-at-highclere-castle/

Friday the 30th September and summer is back! What amazing weather for Rebecca and Chris’s wedding day.
Rebecca got ready at Sopwell house in the mews which gave me the opportunity to capture some shots of the family and bridesmaids outside before leaving for the Abbey. After an eventful journey to the Abbey Rebecca arrived on time but in a VW Golf! Not quite to plan but her relaxed and happy personality ensured that this didn’t hinder her enjoyment of the day and she emerged beeming and looking sensational.
The ceremony took place in the Lady Chappel and Rebecca and Chris looked divine standing in front of the grand stained glass window. Offley Place was the venue for the next stage of their day – a gorgeous manor house in picturesque grounds and one of our favourite to shoot at. The conservatory, all set for the wedding breakfast looked impressive with low floral arrangements in scrumptious colours.
Rebecca & Chris’s day rounded off with them being joined on the dance floor by Elvis making their first dance one to remember.
Here are a selection from the day…

Pippa and David’s wedding was at the beautiful Gaynes Park in Epping, Essex.
Another stunningly sunny day allowing us to take advantage of the extensive photo opportunities Gaynes Park has to offer. Before reaching the venue we met up with David near to where he was getting ready and where he received a little surprise! Pippa had a rranged for him to be driven to the venue in a Ferrari.
The ceremony took place in the conservatory at gaynes park which was decorated with flowers in the yellow colour scheme of the day. Pippa and David wrote their own vows making the ceremony more personal. Guests were then entertained by a magician while guitar music was played live in the grounds, canapes and drinks were enjoyed which looked delicious and included mini cones of fish and chips.
The meal was held in the barn area of the venue, again decorated in yellow it looked stunning with flower filled martini glasses, printed rose petals and white chocolate boxed favours. The magnificent cake made by Cynthia stood proud in the corner of the barn – yum!
We completed our coverage after the speeches with a final shot in the fairy light covered pagoda ending our photographic story of Pippa and Davis’s wedding day. Below are a selection of images from the day, we hope you like them…

September has been the busiest month this year and the weekend of the 24th and 25th was no exception.
It was a fantastic weekend which started with driving to the Suffolk coast on Friday afternoon to visit the church and venue where Lucy & James’s wedding would take place the day after. The cute and picturesque village of Dunwich is where Lucy got ready and where the church was. The church, perfectly situated at the end of the road was ideal to walk to in the afternoon sunshine.
James got ready at the Westleton Crown, a lovely village pub/B&B with superb food and super rooms and where the reception was to take place later. Saturday and another beautiful sunny day as Lucy & James’s day got underway. Their ceremony was made relaxed and personal by the quirky village vicar who was lovely.
Following the ceremony and a few family shots at the church we headed to the beach for a few couple shots. Lucy and James were brilliant and put up with the blustery wind and walking over the pebbles in order to make the most of getting married near the coast.
On to the venue for drinks, canapes and a delicious meal in the restaurant filled with floral arrangements by Lucy’s Mum.
Here are a few images from the day to wet your appetite…

September 17th and Louise & Sam’s wedding day has arrived. Their beautifully planned wedding day went smoothly despite a couple of showers which couldn’t have been planned better as they came during driving time.
St. Nicholas’ church in Harpenden was decorated with floral arrangements tying in with the colour theme of the day, which really enhanced the church. Following a lovely ceremony we drove the short distance to Brocket Hall for a grand reception.
Louise looked stunning in her Suzanne Neville wedding dress, the perfect choice for their elegant wedding. Here are a selection of photographs from the day as a taster of what’s to come…

On the 10th September we had the pleasure of being a part of Lucy & Chris’s wedding at Great Wilbraham Farm in Cambridgeshire. It was lovely to see some familiar faces as we had photographed Chris’s brothers wedding in 2008.
All Chris & Lucy’s plans came together perfectly for a truly wonderful day, the unique and gorgeous stationary, the cake decorated by Lucy’s Mum, the picturesque setting to name but a few. The weather held out for their beautiful outside ceremony and the brief shower later on went virtually un noticed. Surrounded by friends and family Lucy and Chris’s day was informal and clearly enjoyed by everyone there. The magician added some entertainment during the drinks reception and the meal, which was a picnic stlye meal including homemade scotch eggs, quiche and a large selection of cheeses accompanied by Dave’s (Chris’s brother) famous home made chutney!
Here are a few images from the day, the rest will be online after the 4th October.

Jenny and Michael’s wedding was a couple of weeks ago in Bedford followed by the reception held in a marquee adjacent to Michael’s mums house in a nearby village. No couple have worked as hard as Jenny and Michael to prepare for their wedding day and all their hard work certainly paid off. Michael had turned an overgrown field full of nettles and rubble into a beautiful setting with a flower lined pathway (thanks to jenny!) and pond area which was a perfect venue for their wedding celebrations.
Jenny looked stunning in her Suzanne Neville wedding dress accompanied by her bridesmaids dressed in turquoise. All the details came together brilliantly, the ice cream van, pianist who played through the reception drinks and meal, stunning floral displays on the tables and a magnificent looking cake were just a few.
Cake made by: Matilda Daisy
The day went smoothly and the weather behaving was a god send. Jenny & Michael, you are a fantastic couple and it was a pleasure to be a part of your day. Hope you like the preview below, look forward to showing you the rest soon.
