Julian Porter Photography » Life is lived in a series of fleeting moments...

We recently got to photograph Mark and Rachel Fox again,  We photographed their beautiful Rhinefield wedding back in 2006 and have kept in touch as we do with most of our couples,  Rachels dad Chris called me over Christmas to arrange a photoshoot with the family because Rachel was pregnant as was her sister in Law who lives in Aus,

We had a great time photographing them all and got some wicked photos,

I am pleased to say that Mark and Rachel are now the VERY proud parents of a beautiful little Ava May who we hope to photograph very soon.

Much love to you all,  Jules

During the year sue and I photograph around 50 family portraits and Nigel and Naz have been coming for 3 years now, this shoot was a present for Granny who was very happy with her photos, we took a great selection of the children and the family but these are our favorites, these 2 girls are both gorgeous and amazing to work with.

This week we caught up with 2 more of our couples for their engagement shoots, First we met with Paul and Michelle down at Titchfield Abbey for a few photos and a chat through their wedding timings which was great, Paul and Michelle are getting married in Chichester later this month.

Then yesterday we met with Gareth and Lyndsey in Bournemouth at their venue to do the same,  both days gave us glorious sunshine which is just what we want for their weddings

Here are a few photos taken from each shoot, these engagement shoots help us to get to know our couples which in turn helps us all have a fantastic wedding.

On Saturday Sue & I joined Simon and Clara for their wedding at Lainston House Nr Winchester.  Saturday turned out to be a dreadful day weather wise but just perfect wedding wise We had an amazing day from the moment we joined Clara at home right through until the first dance.

Despite the rain Simon and Clara had an amazing time including a few outdoor portraits which made such a difference to our coverage,  everybody at the wedding were oblivious to the weather and just enjoyed a beautiful, well thought out wedding day.

We are often asked “what happens if it rains” well the answer is simple’   “you still get married”  we still carry on just like we would in the sunshine and everybody has a great day.  We took our family groups by the fireplace and portraits on the ornate staircase and have some wonderful photos,

Simon and Clara, you were brilliant

On Friday and again on Sunday we joined Kenneth and Sally for their wedding celebrations, The wedding took place on Friday at the Spread Eagle hotel in Midhurst with just very close family but then on Sunday we had a wonderful Garden Party at their home with lots of friends and family on what was a fantastic day,

I met my little friend Seth (middle picture) who along with his two brothers had a great day.

After a couple of hours laughing and drinking on the lawns with the children swimming in the pool we were invited into the Bedouin tent for Dinner before some great speeches and deserts.  We then took a few family shots before leaving the party.

What a fabulous relaxed weekend.

Over the weekend we met with Sebastian and Carrie who are getting married next year to shoot their e-shoot and boy did we pick a day !   Although it was a beautiful sunny day it was soooooooo windy down at Highcliffe Castle and although we did brave the beach and got a few photos down there, we did also seek the cover of the castle

WE had a great afternoon and look forward to February
