The gorgeous Sian and Jon were married on a beautiful Friday in August. It was my first chance to shoot at Coltsford Mill which is a stunning Surrey wedding venue. Between the team at Coltsford Mill and Sian’s “mood boards” and exceptional attention to detail everything was extra special and it all went off without a hitch.

Their dream team included:
Hair and make-up: Shelley from Shellshock Hair Design
Dress and veil: Hernani by Pronovias, Bond St 
Tiara and jewellery: Johanna Hehir
Shoes: Rainbow Couture
Flowers: Liz, Coltsford Mill
Catering: Galloping Gourmet
Music/DJ: Goyesca String Trio and Raindance UK

Below are some of my favourite images from their day. Friends and family can view all the images on the online gallery which is here. Please ask Jon and Sian the password or get in contact with me.

Sian got ready at her parents’ home in Bromley and it was the perfect send off with her friends getting ready there too.

This is one of my favourite images of the day..

Raindance UK did the best lighting of the dance floor that I’ve seen for a while, and I’d highly recommend them.

Sian and Jon, I hope you’re day was as amazing and beautiful as you wished for. May you have a long and happy future together!

A big thank you to Jenny for showing me around, and to Liz and the Coltsford Mill team who’s service and care really were outstanding. Coltsford Mill is not only a beautiful venue but everything was just of the best! I look forward to working with you again in the  near future.

Okay, so for a change a little something else.. As things have started to quieten down ever so slightly (another 5 wedding to still blog for this year) and as its always lovely to meet new photographers and catch up with familiar faces, I went down to Bournemouth on Monday to meet a few more of the R Network’s members. It’s fantastic to meet up with such amazing photographers and share experiences. And of course, what better way to spend a rainy Monday!

As I was “studiously taking notes”, I don’t have any pictures to share as such (don’t think you’ll find the off camera test shots of bottles which I did with Ian much fun), so instead here’s me getting papped along the way by the amazing Lawsons: http://www.lawsonphotography.co.uk/Blog/2009/12/bournemouth-fun/ and Mr F: http://www.fazackarley.com/blog/2009/12/bournemouth-meet-up-both-wedding-portrait-photographers/

A big thank you to Emma and Ian from Big Bouquet for organising the cool venue, Carrie for being our chauffeur and Christina for the company on the train. And of course a big thank you to everyone for their freely giving natures! What an amazing group Mr Randall has put together. Looking forward to catching up with everyone at SWPP and I may just gate crash the next Northerners’ gathering to meet more fab photogs!

Okay, back to work on my new website.. can’t wait to launch it soon!

Rob and Jackie were married on one of the hottest days of August. It was blue skies and sunshine all the way, beautiful! It was such a happy and fun day.. Jackie has the most infectious laugh and I had a great time photographing the two of them and their friends and family. A big thank you to Karen for having introduced me to this great group of friends!

Rob and Jackie’s dream team included:

Hair:  Frankie from Shobiz, Sidcup
Dress:  Tia by Augsta Jones
Flowers:  Evergreen
Magician: Tony from The Complete Wedding Magician
Catering & Reception Venue: Darenth Valley Golf Course
Music/DJ:  Best DJ in Town
