Maj-Britt & Neil

Mark — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:05:35 +0000

Dane Maj-Britt and her English husband Neil were married at The Danish Church in Regent’s Park, London followed by a reception at Lord’s cricket ground on the other side of the park. Danish weddings are not radically different to the common or garden English wedding, but there are little variations, most noticeably the number of speeches (I counted eight). Interspersed between these are other activities, such as all the women queueing up to kiss the groom, and vice versa. Great fun, but hard work capturing it all!

Orlanda & Mark

Following a ceremony at All Saints Church in the village of Headley, Hampshire, Orlanda and Mark headed to Orlanda’s beautiful family home, Headley Grange, for their reception. This house was the location for recording sessions for Led Zeppelin’s fourth album, and the song ‘Stairway to Heaven’ which was written there is rumoured to have been inspired by the staircase you see in the 7th image.

Anya & Richard

A return trip to Longstowe Hall near Cambridge was in order for Anya & Richard’s wedding, with a ceremony at St. Mary’s church in nearby Ashwell beforehand. On display was the largest cake I have seen in a long time, weighing more than most of the children present and standing taller than the majority of the guests.

Lindsey & Douglas

Mark — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:34:26 +0000

Lindsey and Douglas had a small wedding at Hipping Hall in Lancashire for their family and a few close friends. The weather was incredible on a day that most of the country was suffering storms.

Annabel & John

St. David’s church at ancient Llanthony Priory in the Brecon Beacons was the venue for Annabel and John’s wedding, with a reception afterwards at the family home in the next valley. Luckily the marquee, which was set up in a field at the bottom of the valley survived a torrential thunderstorm the night before and provided a great setting for the day. And no mobile phone signals meant there were no unwanted interruptions!

Kara & Chris

Mark — Tue, 20 May 2008 11:38:13 +0000

Kara and Chris were married in Greenwich at the start of the May Day bank holiday weekend, and the weather couldn’t have been more typical. They managed to avoid a soaking though and had a small ceremony at The Ranger’s House followed by a larger reception at Trafalgar Tavern overlooking the river and Docklands.

Erin & Andrew

Mark — Fri, 09 May 2008 11:33:31 +0000

My last wedding of 2007 was in Nottinghamshire, where I grew up. Erin & Andrew were married at Edwinstowe Church, where Robin Hood and Maid Marian were married, if you believe such things. Their reception was a short drive north to Hodsock Priory.

Alex & Stewart

Mark — Sun, 04 May 2008 23:46:37 +0000

Winchester House next to Putney Bridge in London was the venue for Alex and Stewart’s small family ceremony, and their larger party for family and friends straight after. The couple also used the opportunity to celebrate Alex’s 30th birthday.

Helen & Daniel

Mark — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 12:00:23 +0000

Helen and Daniel held their wedding near Helen’s childhood home in North Belfast, Northern Ireland. The catholic ceremony was followed by a drive inland to Galgorm Manor near Ballymena, where the reception and party where taking place.

Louise & Mark

Mark — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:32:21 +0000

Next up, Louise and Mark who were married in the small town of Rye in East Sussex. They got a town crier as a free extra to their wedding ceremony at the Town Hall, then off to The George in Rye hotel for their party, which gave the guests the perfect vantage point for the torchlit procession that takes place there on bonfire night.
