Another fab Wedding by Jules & Sue

Fireworks and fun at weddings

We often get asked if we photograph fireworks at weddings, the answer is a simple “yes please”:-) we both love fireworks and with a combination of Sue’s famous scene setting shots and mine concentrating on the couple we get some amazing photographs, as you will see its not just photographs, we have had all sorts of night time activities such as lazer shows both indoor and out and the latest thing seems to be fire shows which are always fun and of course Chinese lanterns which when allowed are always a crowd pleaser.

Here are a few of our shots from the past couple of years, I think you will agree that they are a lot of fun:-)

Digby’s adventures

Last week Sue and I met with one of our couples for an engagement shoot down in Portsmouth and were delighted to find out that they had brought their lovely little dog Digby along:-) Digby is the perfect looking little dog who replicates the Radley dog:-) I seriously think I need to get out more hahaha

We met with Dan and Caroline at there church which is the very impressive Portsmouth Cathederal for a look around and to discuss their day in detail,  We then went onto Whale island which is a lovely naval base in Portsmouth and where the wedding reception is being held,  Also the home of the Queens “funeral” carriage which is housed in air controlled luxury (unlike many of the men I bet):-)

Digby had a wonderful time in the grounds as did Sue and I,   We offer a free of charge engagement shoot to all of our couples and its proved over the years to be an invaluable way to get to know our amazing clients,

Here are a couple of photos from the shoot,  although it was a freezing January day we did warm up walking around and had some fun,  we cant wait to shoot their wedding in March.

Another amazing card from the lovely Helen and Keith

Last week we received a lovely thank you card from Helen and Keith.

 

Dear Julian and Sue

Firstly my apologies for such a delay in writing this thank you card. It has been a busy few months since Keith and I got married in October.

We both wanted to say a massive thank you for the wonderful job you both did with our wedding photography. The pictures are wonderful. You were both absolutely brilliant and seemed to glide around effortlessly taking beautiful photographs and mingling with our guests as if you were members of the family, many of our guests commented on how lovely you both were and how amazing the photographs are. It just goes to show that while anyone with a camera can take a picture, it takes a much more personal touch to really capture the kind of amazing pictures that you are both known for.

It was really lovely of you to send the colour photographs of the speeches which I appreciate is not something you usually do and we are both grateful that you took the time to do that for us, we would definitely like to come in and put together an album with you both but I cant even suggest dates as Keith has already been deployed on operations. He will be back between Aug-Dec so we might have to wait until then. We hope you had a lovely Christmas and all the best for 2012.

Many thanks for all of your hard work on our fantastic pictures

Helen and Keith Grimes  (22nd October 2011)

Last portrait of 2011, what a perfect way to end a great year

During November our colleague and good friend Andy Scott called me to ask to Schedule a portrait shoot for him and his Partner Emma,  This was special for 3 very good reasons, the first is that Andy lives 5 hours away and knows lots of other photographers local to him, the second is  he himself is an amazing photographer,  yes you can probably remember this is my second time in December that we have shot another tog and its pretty awesome to say the least, and the third and most important is that Andy is a Captain in the TA’s and is a medic and next week he is off to Afghanistan to serve for 4 months.

We had a great afternoon with Andy and Emma and in fact went to our local Chilworth Arms for dinner,  We loved meeting Emma and seeing Andy again.

Sue and I would like to wish Andy all the very best for his trip to Afghanistan and like all of our forces no matter where you are we would like to thank you for your service.

Sue and I would like to extend our discounts to anyone serving in the Army, Navy, or Air Force as a way of saying a small thank you. Please contact us for details.

Lovely letter from Richard and Adele,

I received this lovely letter today and I am pleased to say that it sums Sue and I up nicely,

Thanks guys x

 

Dear Jules and Sue,

We just wanted to say once again, a great big THANK YOU!

We are made up with the wonderful photos you took of us and our guests on our big day. You both have an incredible talent in your ability to capture the mood of the occasion perfectly. 

There are just so many superb shots of people caught unaware of your presence, who look so genuinely happy, which is the overriding vibe we had on the day, and now, thanks to you, we have those memories captured on film forever!

We are also delighted with the more staged, formal shots which look fantastic, and also manage to convey that relaxed, happy atmosphere  – the clarity is unbelievable and your framing of the shots is great!

Your ability to make people feel relaxed is testament to your wonderful nature and your manner with us and our guests. 

It really has been a pleasure ‘working’ (for want of a better word!!) with you guys and we feel that we have gained two new friends out of it. We love your style, both professionally and personally – please, don’t ever change! x

Love Richard and Adele xxx

Ben and Jo get married @ Careys Manor

On Saturday we joined Ben and Jo for their wedding at Careys Manor in the new forest,  It was the most amazing day both weather and wedding, we started our day with Jo at Careys for an hour of lovely relaxed prep before we were met by our colleague Matt who also came along to shoot with us,  Sue and I then headed back to the church in Highfield Southampton on the guest coach to meet Ben and the boys, soon after Jo arrived looking sensational in a beautiful vintage Daimler with her dad, we then went into the church for a very nice service and then into the gardens led by a lone piper for some lovely relaxed shots and some fun family groups,  after 30 mins in the November sunshine we headed back to careys for an hour of drinks and some beautiful Autumnal portraits in the gardens before going into diner and speeches,  the speeches were very emotional and not a dry eye could be seen,  later we headed outside for a few night shots and then dancing long into the night.

It was an amazing day with some great people, Thanks to you all for a fun November wedding. Joanne, you were a beautiful bride and so much fun, thank you for making me laugh so many times:-)

Ben, you were amazing, your Dad would have been a very proud man and you can rest assured you made a lot of people very happy yesterday mate.

Love to you both,  Jules and Sue x

Peter and Karen get married at Cain manor

On Sunday we joined Peter and Karen for their wedding at cain Manor in Farnham, the day started out amazingly with blue skies and sunshine which is great for October and although the rain kept off it did get a little breezy and chilly as the day went ob but not enough to dampen any spirits:-).  We started our day with karen and the girls for prep at Cain and had an hour there before meeting Peter and the boys at the All Saints church in Headley for there shots,  soon Karen arrived looking amazing and walked into a stunned church, after a lovely ceremony we walked back outside still sunny and spent 30 minutes or so at teh church for some lovely relazed photos and comnfetti before heading back to Cain, Once there the wind picked up but we took our family photos outside and managed to go for a drive with Peter and Karen for a few couples shots.

Soon we were called into dinner and then speeches which were fun and then onto the dancing which was amazing thanks to Licence to Ceilidh who are an amazing Ceilidh band

The flowere were supplied by Emma 

All in all a great wedding and a perfect day.

Jules

Richard and Adele get married at Bartley Lodge in the new forest

This weekend saw our last “planned” double wedding weekend of 2001 and what better a way to start it than with Richard and Adele who got married on the most amazing day in the New Forest at the Bartley Lodge which is fast becoming one of our favourite wedding venues in Hampshire.

We started our day with Adele and her 2 amazing daughters Holly and Chloe for some lovely preps, as well as the usual things we also had cupcakes:-)yum yum yum and lots and lots of sunshine, we spent an hour or so with the girls and then went to find Richard and the boys for some relaxed portraits in the bar before going back to Adele for the last few moments prior to the wedding,   We walked down to the lovely ceremony room and had a beautiful ceremony with lots of tears and laughter and then out into the grounds and more late October sunshine,  we had a couple of lovely hours in the sun before we had to head into dinner and then the speeches which again were very emotive and afterwards we had a break for an hour so we took Adele and the girls for some shots as well as the happy couple.

We then headed into dance before Sue and I left for home.

Today I want to say thanks to Lynn to so much emotion and for reminding us all what weddings are about “LOVE”  to Melody for making me laugh so much and a special thanks to Holly and Chloe for making us both feel so welcome and of course to everyone at the wedding but mostly to Richard and Adele for being just as much fun as we thought you would be, it was an amazing day guys and if carlesburg made weddings…………………………………………….

Love to you all   Jules and Sue.

Tasters are now live !
