Kelly & Ben, the new Mr & Mrs Wilkinson, toast their wedding with a Pimm’s & lemonade, after a beautiful ceremony held at The Bestwood Lodge Chapel.

Kelly looked amazing in her lovely lace wedding dress. Sister Toni & best friend Jo were the perfect bridesmaids.

Now aboard their honeymoon cruiseship, heading peacefully together toward paradise.

How come no one invites me to take pictures of their honeymoon me thinks!!!

Natalie & Robert Marry In Style At Belton Woods

Robert & Natalie, from New Balderton, Newark, enjoyed a super day at The Belton Woods Hotel, where both their wedding ceremony and reception was held. A truly beautiful venue and a lovely couple, a wedding that I will remember for a long while.

After the civil service, the happy couple mingled with family & friends, celebrating the occasion with cocktails, outside on the patio area. Nearby golfers looked on in awe, taking an unscheduled break to admire the bridal party fleet on by.

Once again it was the black & white pictures, taken with my beloved Leica M6, that were among my favourite images, some of which I had sepia toned, to add that magical timeless quality.

Jamie & Michelle, during their civil ceremony, held at The Country Park Farmhouse Hotel, Castle Donnington.

The First Dance was one to remember, Jamie’s fab street dancing drawing applause from admiring guests.

A wonderful day was had by all. I cannot wait to see the b/w images taken with my trusty Leica !

The expressions on the faces of these cute page boys, stood against the farmyard brick wall, is simply wonderful.

I just love shooting in b/w, brilliant for catching mood and texture, adding a special timeless quality to the image.

Blowin' in the Wind

Barbara & Simon had a wonderful day at Bestwood Lodge. Below are a couple of pictures capturing the joy of their special day. Simon, a keen fisherman from Colwick, was all smiles when he first set eyes on Barbara, walking down the aisle, wearing a beautiful white silk dress.

Rob & Kelly celebrating their Christmas wedding at Bestwood Lodge

Welcome to my new website

Andrew — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:11:21 +0000

Hello and welcome. I’d thought I’d start my first blog with a couple of pictures taken at Andrea & Colin’s wedding, earlier this month. It was a fantastic day, Andrea arrived in style at the Church in a white vintage car; and the two bridesmaids wore fifties style pink dresses, which were perfect for the occasion.

The Reception was held at Bestwood Lodge, where I took some lovely photos of the couple and guests enjoying the happy event. Below are a selection of pictures taken throughout the day.

That’s all for this post. I’ll be back in the New Year, with more updates and photos of my first international wedding, in New Zealand!

Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year

Andrew
