Katie & Sam | Wedding

· 12 Comments

Heeere we go! Finally I can show you the last wedding of 2009. Phew! Katie and Sam got married at Hassop Hall in Derbyshire on a very cold December day right after Christmas. Despite all the travelling, and the rather miserable weather, this wedding was an absolute joy to attend. If I had to think of one word to describe Katie, it would probably be exuberant. She was so full of joy on her wedding day, and that joy spread through everyone present. You might remember from their engagement shoot that Sam and cameras don’t exactly get along… I must say though that he was on his very best behaviour all day, and was even game for some portraits in the bathroom!

Hassop Hall itself was a gorgeous venue, and I really hope I’ll get to go back there as it would be nice to make use of the beautiful grounds on a day where icy rain wasn’t involved…

Thanks so much Katie and Sam for having us, I hope you have a long and happy life together!

The lovely Kat from Rock ‘n Roll Bride got interviewed for Aimee Marie Loves… What made it nice for me was that they had used my pictures of Kat to illustrate the article.

In other news, I’m busy trying to get the last wedding of 2009 and the first wedding of 2010 edited. Hopefully I’ll have some new pics to show you soon!

Yesterday Katie and Sam got married at Hassop Hall in Derbyshire in what was my last wedding of 2009. It was a long old day of travelling half way up the country and back again, but certainly worth it for the chance to be a part of this beautiful winter wedding. Katie and Sam are now off on their honeymoon, and I will be leaving for the airport in about 5 minutes to catch my flight to Finland where I’ll be ringing in the New Year.

See you all in 2010!

Personal favourites from 2009

I can’t quite believe we’re almost at the end of this year. I still have one wedding to go until 2009 comes to a close, but you won’t see the results of that until after the new year. This year has gone by in a whirlwind, while managing to include a staggering amount of amazingness – I can’t begin to tell you how fortunate I feel. I really want to thank all of my clients who have made it possible – from the bottom of my heart – you all rock!

Also, a huge huge thank you to Susanna, who’s the most amazing assistant any photographer could ever have!

If this year was amazing, 2010 is going to be completely off the scale. I’m so stoked to already be in the position where I’m at full capacity for wedding bookings for next year (which means, if you’re thinking about hiring me for 2011 you might want to get on the case quite early). There are so many brilliant weddings to look forward to next year, from romantic countryside weddings, to London city weddings, not to mention a seaside wedding in Cornwall and a couple of absolutely enchanting sounding weddings in France! I feel a bit like a kid in a candy store and just can’t wait to get stuck in!

But first, it’s time to take some quiet time and enjoy Christmas, while reflecting on the great memories I gained during the passing year. Here are a few of my favourite pictures from 2009. And with that, Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year everyone! x
