The Royal Berkshire Hotel Wedding Photography • Documentary Wedding Photography • Nathan and Nicola

This wedding day was a long time coming. Originally planned for 2018, Nicola’s father had a horrific accident which rocked everyone to their core, with the prospect of not having her father to walk her down the aisle Nicola postponed her wedding day for a year. I’m over joyed that the gorgeous Royal Berkshire Hotel were able to give them another date, and I made sure that I was available for the new date too. 

So finally the day came, and as it was a year later than planned, Nathan and Nicola also had their handsome little boy there to celebrate with them! As you can imagine, the emotions were very high and I felt myself, along with everyone else in the room tear up when the stunning Nicola walked down the aisle with her Father beside her. 

The weather smiled on us too, letting us have a fab confetti line out onto the lawn and allowed us to wonder around the grounds leisurely for the couple shots. Everything really did come together, it was so touching to also have a quiet moment in the walled garden for Nicola’s Aunt and Uncle to give them a blessing, I felt honoured to be able to witness such power and love in words, and to be part of such an intimate moment.

The day continued without a hitch, speeches were fabulous fun and the dancing got everyone’s heart going as Nicola’s dad decided to learn the new skill of tipping his wheelchair backwards, giving just about everyone a heart attack whilst he was cracking up! 

Here’s to the newly weds, here’s to fate and love, here’s to trusting in things far greater than other selves.

The Riverside Marquee Wedding • Bray Wedding • Documentary Wedding Photography • Daniel and Mia

I knew that Mia and Daniel’s wedding was going to be fabulous from when I first met them, there was a keen eye for detail and such love that went into the planning I couldn’t wait to capture their day. 

Celebrating in the small, beautiful village of Bray, every part of the day was within 5 minutes of each other. Getting to Daniel first, I grabbed some detail shots whilst some serious ironing went on - how many groomsmen does it take to iron a shirt?!? 

Mia was getting ready a minutes walk away from the church in the cutely named Christmas Cottage with bright red door, it was so quirky, and had a cottage feel with a glass extension at the back which was fabulous for natural light, which is just perfect and also means the makeup is done according to daylight which is a must.

As Mia opened Daniel’s gifts, the emotion was clear to see, and the eagerness to meet him at the bottom of the aisle was bubbling! 

The music played, the page boys and bridesmaids entered and then, there they were, together, you could see how much they loved each other, it’s always such a pleasure to witness the little looks and smiles, the unsaid emotion between the two of them that no one else can see. 

After the nerves had dissolved away and they were officially Husband and Wife, the celebrating could start, it’s always such fun to start the party feel off with a confetti line, such a good way to get everyone smiling and laughing! This merriment continued throughout the day as we got to The Riverside Marquee, which is gorgeous and set backing onto the river. Group shots led into the couple shots and the sun was very kind to us, as it was later in the day it was a warm softer light which looked stunning on Daniel and Mia.

Speeches brought the house down as well as bringing a few tears down cheeks, and the first dance followed by a father-daughter/mother-son dance was equally as tear jerking. It was so clear to see how much Daniel and Mia loved each other and how much they were both loved, it was an absolute pleasure to capture and an honour to know such a lovely couple.
