A beautiful couple took their vows at Foxhills Manor House.  The bride was getting ready in the grounds of Foxhills in one of their newly decorated cottages.  The décor and space in the cottages gave a calming effect to the proceedings and helped the bride and her bridesmaids enjoy their time together.  A feminine lace bridal dress with long train was a perfect match for the blond and pretty bride. Flowers by Kate, recommended florist at Foxhills.  A wonderful ambiance gave Elaine Mayson Photography a chance to capture the complimenting colours and the bride and bridesmaids getting ready. The groom arrived in style at Foxhills all ready for his wedding ceremony . The ceremony over the couple take a moment to relax and enjoy the grounds of Foxhills Manor with

Andy is setting up a new web site and wanted warm friendly portraits of himself to sell his business.  He knew that I had a small but professional studio in Kingston Upon Thames down the road from his home.  A quick phone call secured him a booking at the new special rates.  He brought a selection of shirts and jumpers so that he had a chose of colours and style of photographs.

This more relaxed pose with the lovely aqua jumper was certainly my favourite of the shoot.  However after fully editing the photographs he had a selection of smart shirt portraits in different colours and different styles for every occasion.

Jo who was making up Andy’s web site loved his photos and decided to give me a ring.  We made a booking and she came round with an array of colourful tops.  She was looking for a relaxed, smart, radiant portrait.  No suits or high heels, no Vintage stylised look. Jo had a very clear idea of the  cheerful, vibrant style she wanted me to capture.  What a success story!

If you live in the Kingston Upon Thames area then do give me a ring.  Sessions last for an hour and you have plenty of time to get just the look and style you want.  Also ladies you are provided with  vintage hats, scarfs and coats so you have the option to have fun with a style you are not so familiar?  I fully edit the photos and provide them to you on a disc.

 

 

 

 

 

The bridal couple were married in a traditional church service at St Georges College Chapel. A few years earlier I had photographed the wedding of Alan’s sister in the same chapel.  A friendly priest took the service in the intimate surroundings of the Chapel.  The bride wore a long beautiful lace dress which showed off her slim elegant figure. No hurting feet for her instead she wore a pair of white sparkly pumps.

Jessica’s dress, flowers and foot wear.

Alan’s best man and ushers enter the St Georges College Chapel looking smart in matching suits, ties and shoes.

The bride arrives for the ceremony with a radiant smile.  A vintage twist of sepia compliments her lace wedding dress.

The bride and her father chat to the priest before preparing to walk down the aisle. The two bridesmaids  bring the bread and wine to the altar.

The bride and groom are married and sign the register of marriage on the altar table with the vibrant coloured flowers of orange, peach and white.

 A beautiful vibrant wedding at Pembroke Lodge.  The bride and groom were married in the Belvedere Suite.  Then afterwards they strolled over to the porch.  The wisteria  was at it’s best and therefore a perfect location for photographs for recommended photographer Elaine Mayson.  Certainly an iconic photo of this much loved venue in Richmond Park.The groom and ushers and his best man arrived first.  Looking good! Let’s get this show on the road!The bride arriving in a beautiful floaty dress. Unconventional but stylish with a flavour of the vintage 1930’s.   Abundant white flowers added glamour and  wonderful perfume to the ceremony room.  The bridal couple kissed sealing their contract.  Their family and friends looked on with cheers and smiles.

 

Signing their register in Pembroke Lodge’s Belvedere Suite.  The special kiss that seals the contract. What a moment!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘Party Time!’  Lots of singing, dancing and clapping during dinner to an amazing singer.  Then the first dance a riot of fun and choreography!  What a show!

Love the moves and grooves.  Wishing you  a wonderful life together.

The bridal couple’s Wedding Day was full of joy and fun!  The rain could not dampen their joie de Vivre.  After the Wedding Service in Pembroke Lodge photographs were started in the porch.  Suddenly there was a break in the rain and Elaine Mayson of Elaine Mayson Photography managed to take atmospheric photographs of the couple in the grounds of Pembroke Lodge.  She also photographed all their group shots outside close to the porch.

‘The day started with the bride and her Mum and bridesmaids getting ready at The Petersham Hotel’ A beautiful room with Bay windows gave soft light to the preparations.

Photographs in black and white give a timeless feel to this traditional ritual.

The bride’s sisters and Mum were there to help with her dress and her shoes. Anticipation and happiness show in their faces at the beginning of this special day.

The Petersham Hotel in Richmond, Surrey is famous for its regal spiral staircase so a quick photo shoot with the bridal party on the stairs was obligatory.

Dad to the rescue.  Rain on your wedding day brings lots of luck so they smiled and enjoyed the moment.

The groom’s waiting is over and the ceremony is in full swing at Pembroke Lodge in the Belvedere Suite.

The ring is placed on the third finger of the left hand.  They are man and wife.  ‘You can kiss the bride,’  sealed with a kiss.

Inside Pembroke Lodge a delicious meal was served and then the Bride and Groom cut the sparkling cake.

Congratulations!

The bridal couple were married at St Andrew’s church in Surbiton. The groom arrived early with all his ushers and best men.  I caught up with them as they entered the church on that mild late November morning. The bridesmaids arrived next and the excitement mounted in anticipation of the bride’s arrival.  She wore a glorious vintage style dress with stunning train and a stylish hat with veil.

The couple arrived at Pembroke Lodge and Elaine Mayson one of the venues recommended photographers caught a fun moment.  The light was fading but all the family photos had been taken at the church.  This meant there was just enough time for Elaine to photograph the couple in the locations they wanted before entering the warm and welcoming Lodge.
