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

Yesterday we joined Phil and Emily for their beautiful winter wedding at Lainston House near Winchester, The weather was very obedient, in fact it stayed dry just long enough for the family photos and a few portraits in the grounds and then it rained and it rained…

We started our Day with Emily and her bridesmaids Vicky and Mel, who was a past bride of ours from 2005 so it was great to catch up with her and her husband Rob, after makeup by our good friend Helen Spencer we headed off to meet up with Phil and the boys where we also bumped into another one of our past brides from 2007 Emma and her husband Gareth who were also guests at the wedding,

After a few shots with the boys we headed in for a great ceremony and then some family shots outside and then a glass of bubbly or 2 before we took Phil and Emily outside for some beautiful portraits just as the light started to fade. Emily of course wore her very colorful wellies which made for some fab photos and lots of remarks from the guests, we have Beki Roach to thank for this trend

We then went into the wedding breakfast and then some very entertaining speeches and great dancing before Sue & I headed off home.

It was wonderful to see so many old friends and to meet some new ones yesterday, great to see a couple of our couplesand hopefully meet a few future couple !!!

Have a great honeymoon guys & see you soon

Today we spent a great day at Marwell Zoo on one of our “getting to know your camera” workshops with one of our Brides from 2007 Beccs, we had a great day and below are a few great photos that Beccs took with her new Nikon D5000.

Beccs was brand new to DSLR photography and picked it up great.

I hope you enjoy these photos as much as we did.

Ypu can find more details about our courses on our training website.

And not a ghoul in sight

Yesterday we joined Will and Clare for their beautiful wedding in Oaks Farm in Croydon on what started to be a dreadful day but turned out to be a wonderful october afternoon with crisp blue skies.  We started our day at the Selsdon Park hotel where Claire was with her Bridesmaid Laura getting ready,  After a fun couple of hours mainly spent photographing Clare’s  Manolo Blahnik shoes we headed off to meet Will and his 3 brothers and had a great time with a few portraits.  Clare soon arrived with her father and was led into a wonderful ceremony which was followed by a few photos outside.

We then headed off for a few minutes drive to Oaks Farm where champagne awaited along with blue skies and lots of fun photographs of Clare and her Manolo Blahnik shoes and her purple hunter wellies which all made for a great topic of conversation between the guests.

After a scrummy meal and speeches we were entertained by Clints Jazz Band who led us into a fun filled evening.

All in all is was the perfect wedding that Will and Claire had wished for,

Sue & I have just finished another amazing week at Bracken place and have a wonderful collection of most of the children again this year, we were delighted to see some of our friends from last year as well as some new faces.

The photos will be available to view from either Tuesday or Wednesday and you can see then on our  client area and you can get the password from either Vanessa, Vicky or Kayleigh at the nursery but not from us unless we know you,

Once again we will be donating a part of every photo to a local or national charity and will let you know which one once we have spoken to Vanessa.
