Elvetham Hotel Wedding
Naomi Cullan and Glenn Fairbrother
Once again the British summer came through and delivered a beautiful day for Naomi and Glenn’s wedding photography in Hampshire. The day began at Naomi’s parents’ house in Winnersh, Berkshire. From there we traveled to the ceremony at the charming All Saints Church in Dogmersfield, and finally arrived later that afternoon in true English country estate style at the exquisite Elvetham Hotel.
The best part about a nice summer wedding in England? Delaying the formal portraits until after dinner when the sun dips low in the sky. Lovely warm colours, plus a more relaxed couple!
Big thanks to my friend and colleague Wardi for his assistance shooting and reflecting (and hoisting, schlepping, etc.) throughout the day.
Finally, a word of thanks to and a big recommendation for the lovely folks at the Elvetham. My jaw nearly hit the ground when the toastmaster came round during the drinks reception and informed me they were pushing the receiving line and dinner back by half an hour to give me a bit of extra shooting time due to the rather tight afternoon timeline. A huge contrast to many venues, where photographers are viewed rather as obstacles to be dealt with.
A beautiful day for a lovely couple! Congratulations, Naomi and Glenn.
A beautiful set of wedding photo’s, you’ve really caught the atmosphere of the day and the bride is stunning. I also think the black and white shots add a lot of atmosphere, great job!

Great framing on the shot with the two pillars. That’s a breathtaking location for a wedding.
The way the couple is positioned between those two column and the terracota vases with flowers and then the way you caught the essense of the kiss. I love this picture.
Thank you

Perfect use of black and white, it just adds something really special to those shots.

Wow, this venue sounds hugely accomodating. Kinda out of my jurisdiction – but i wish more venues were like that. The ones round here in Gloucestershire and Warwickshire aren’t quite so considerate, you must have really charmed them!
