Wedding photography review 2014

I still have a few weddings to blog from last year but as we head into 2015 here’s a look back on some of the weddings I’ve had the pleasure of capturing during 2014.

Ive photographed weddings up in North Yorkshire, down south in Surrey and Central London and a lot in the Midlands, visited lots of regular venues like Stubton and Thumpton Hall and some new venues for me including Ladywood Estate and Calke Abbey. It was also great to be back at Cattows Farm for a beach themed wedding.

Although great fun looking back, its hard to pick out a set of photos that span a whole year so I decided most of the photos would be the more natural, fun and emotional moments, the ones that sum up what I’m looking for when capturing a wedding.
A huge thank you to all the couples, families and friends I’ve met during 2014 its been a blast.

PS: If you are getting married or know anyone getting married in 2015 theres still time to enter this amazing competition and win £1,000 off your wedding photography.

Autumn Wedding at Stubton Hall, Caroline & Wayne

 

Caroline and Wayne got married on a beautiful, warm Autumn day at Stubton Hall.  Its no secret that i’m a big fan of this venue with its huge grounds, spacious and light Orangery, bright Music Room for the ceremony and the dramatic staircase, as far as wedding photography goes its got the lot.
Everything about this wedding was stunning, from bride Caroline looking amazing in her Justin Alexander dress and Jimmy Choos (outdone only by the gorgeous and very well behaved 8 month old India) to the lovely friends and family, it really was a day to remember.

Caroline and Wayne, thank you so much for letting me capture your day and I wish you all the best for the future.

Langar Hall Wedding, Aimee & Paul

I have worked with Paul numerous times at weddings and has become a good friend over the years (he’s a rather talented singer / saxophonist) so when he asked me to photograph his wedding I jumped at the chance, bearing in mind the number of photographers he has worked with in the past I was honoured.
This lovely relaxed intimate wedding took place at Langar Hall in Nottinghamshire, easily one of the best Country House wedding venues in the UK and with around 30 close family and friends as guests, it was a real joy to be part of the day.  So before the photos here are a few words from Aimee after seeing the slideshow.

 

“Hi Darren, I have just sat and looked (well more accurately I should say blubbed!!)through our wedding photos. I’m lost for words (and for me that’s rare lol) at how wonderful they are. I can’t thank you enough for capturing our day to perfectionand providing us with memories to last a lifetime.
I am totally awestruck by them! You are incredibly talented and not only did you provide us with great photos but moreover than that you were like a guest at our wedding, complimented by many on how well you fitted in as part of the day. I know I speak on behalf of Paul and myself when I say we were honoured to have you there on our special day. Thanks again :-)”

Paul & Aimee, thank you so much. This is why I love my job.
