Clare and Mark’s was my third wedding of this week and took place within the beautiful parish church of St. Mary’s in the village of Standon in Hertfordshire. Although the weather the previous night was like a monsoon, as is my fantastic luck so far this year, the clouds magically parted right on cue as I arrived at Claire’s house for the getting ready shots and the sun blazed away all day from that point on! Mark is Canadian so there were many family members who had made the long journey from Vancouver, including his two (yes, two) best men who made a more than moving speech about their friend and his new bride - not at all like the usual British best man’s speech, ie: rude!

Clare looked stunning I think you’ll agree. Here’s a small selection of their wedding images.

(In case you’re wondering, my second wedding of this week took place in Fanhams Hall Hotel and its fantastic grounds in Ware, Hertfordshire between Lynsey and Mike - but Lynsey is very shy about her images apperaring on here)!

Sarah and Jason’s wedding took place at the very elegant Hanbury Manor near Thundridge in Hertfordshire last Saturday on a beautiful May day. The venue has plenty of scope for beautiful bride and groom portraits as you can see here and as the grounds are so vast, the wedding co-ordinator laid on a golf buggy to get us around!

Later in the day as is usual, I requested that there be food and drink made available to me during the wedding breakfast, but  instead of the expected plate of sandwiches, I was treated to the same 3 course meal that the guests had, featuring Gressingham duck and for dessert a creme brulee with white chocolate and fresh raspberries - all I can say is Hanbury Manor has a wonderful chef!

And well done for finding my new blog which allows me to showcase my most recent work in a much bigger format than the previous one. The old Blogger blog will continue to appear for a further couple of weeks and then this new blog will replace it entirely.

To start with and to continue where I left off, here are some images from Sally and Dean’s wedding last Saturday, held in the beautiful surroundings of The Priory in Ware, Herts. And yes (Sarah), the weather was great yet again once the only minor shower of the day had passed!
