Pateman Family Portrait Photography, Christchurch, Dorset
Lovely August morning spent with the Pateman family in Christchurch. A few fun-filled hours in their garden, climbing trees and silliness on the trampoline, with a countryside walk thrown in for good measure!
Sarah & Ian Pre-Wedding Shoot - Walk to Coy Pond, Bournemouth to Branksome
We met up with Ian and Sarah in Bournemouth Gardens on a beautiful summers evening and they chose to head through the Upper Gardens towards Coy Pond in Branksome. The walk takes in lush planting, cute little red bridges and even a lovely old folly which apparently is now a home for bats!
The warm evening glow was perfect whilst making our way over boardwalks and strolling through long meadow grasses, before arriving at our destination of Coy Pond. Here Sarah and Ian had a quiet moment together before a spot of first dance practice - we can't wait to capture the perfected dance, and the rest of their special day in a few months time at The Miramar Hotel.
Axnoller House Brides Magazine Reader Event Day
I had the privilege to be invited along on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to a Brides Magazine open event day at Axnoller House, one of the country's most stylish wedding venues near Beaminster in Dorset. What an absolutely beautiful venue surrounded by big views of our stunning countryside! Axnoller is all about staying in style, enjoying privacy and having what you want when you want it, the idea is to treat Axnoller like your own luxurious private home. Situated just a few miles from the beauty of the Jurassic Coast, Axnoller is set in 100 acres of rolling fields with magnificently manicured gardens, it's a perfect place to host your reception and your ceremony should you wish. Check out the photos taken during the day below:
Charlie & James Pre-Wedding Shoot - Branksome Chine, Poole
A pre-wedding shoot with a difference…romance and puppy-love!
James and Charlie chose the beautiful Victorian Walk down to Branksome beach as the location for our get together before their big day, and it couldn’t have been a better time of year with the Rhododendrons out in fabulous bloom. I was also introduced to little Yankee, the couples playful bundle of fluff, who I have to be honest not only distracted me from my job but also stole the show in many a photograph!
We strolled down to the beach where both James and Charlie couldn’t hide their playful side, we had lots of dancing and silliness which was a joy to photograph, all the while Yankee was trying to dig to New Zealand...
The couple are getting married locally at Talbot Heath School, I can't wait to document the fun, games and celebrations in a few weeks time.
