THE PICTURES ARE AMAZING! We had no doubt that they would be, but you have captured the day so brilliantly! Thank you so much! Love Ali and Luke x
Ali and Luke chose a sunny day end of August to get married at the beautiful Kingscote Barn near Tetbury. Kingscote Barn is one of those venues that has and offers it all: you can get ready close by, have both the ceremony and reception in the same place, the food is great, the service fast and the place is set in the most photogenic countryside.
I joined Ali early in the morning while she was getting ready in a cottage just a few minutes down the road. Ali is very organised so everything was in place and on time which is great! After she was done I went to see Luke and the boys. Poor Luke was so nervous but was soon distracted by his surprise back from the future car.
The ceremony was emotional – I love that moment when the bride steps into the room, the groom turns around and BAM that’s the moment they have both been waiting for for a very long time and nothing else counts but the moment.
Ali suggested to me to drive up to the field with the hay bales for some of the portraits which turned out to be an excellent idea as the sky was dark with rain clouds rolling in but the sun was still shining onto the two of them. The drinks reception as followed by a three course meal, speeches that were again very emotion (’emotional avalanches’), great dancing and some amazing outdoor shots in the dark.
Ali & Luke – thanks for making me feel so welcome and especially thanks for letting me be part of your journey! xxx
If you like these photographs and are still looking for a wedding photographer, please feel free to contact me. 🙂
The moment the bride and her dad pause, look at each other and touch noses for a second, before leaving the room to walk down the aisle. You can see the deep affection between these two.
Hi Betty, Thank you for the pictures, we have had a quick look online last night and they are absolutely beautiful, we are both incredibly impressed. This is a sentiment echoed by others who have seen them. I also wanted to say thank you for the day. We both felt you made us feel completely at ease throughout the morning, and all of our friends and family commented on your professional and personable style. Chat soon, Teju & Toby
Teju and Toby’s wedding is a really beautiful example for a small, intimate winter wedding. They were lucky to have a crisp and clear winter day with amazing light. In case you didn’t know, the Roman Baths offer both sunrise and sunset weddings, both of which are very popular, particularly any time between October and February. Why that is? Look at the photographs and see for yourself: the water is 46C and produces beautiful steam when it’s cold outside. The ceremony is outdoors but sheltered. And the baths stunning design adds a real uniqueness to the ceremony. Enough said, now enjoy!
If you would like to contact me, you can either use my one step contact form or send me an email to betty.bhandari@gmx.net – I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi Betty, The photos are amazing, thank you so so much, we are really happy with them. They are outstanding! Thank you again, Karis and Will x
After a very busy year I finally have some time to blog one of the many wonderful weddings I had the pleasure to be part of this year.
This wedding took place end of July at beautiful Folly Farm outside Bristol. What a blast this day was! The weather was outstanding, so was the setting for the outdoor ceremony. The speeches were unusual and very funny, the pavlova enormous and the dance floor wide! I could go on for a while – it was a beautiful wedding and one of my absolute favourites this year.
I hope you enjoyed this. Get in touch if you want to know more or discuss your own wedding.
Wow, 2014 – what an amazing, mind-blowing, exhausting, educational & inspiring year it was! I had the pleasure to not only photograph many, many beautiful weddings, but also many pregnant ladies, new babies, older babies, grown up babies and families. I met Dr Brian May (and took his photo – what an amazing, gentle and friendly man he is!), once shot three weddings in one week, had Agne make a wonderful behind-the-scenes-video for me, traveled abroad to shoot an old friend’s wedding in good old Berlin (blog post to follow soon), designed a brand new website and have more new project ideas in my head now than I will ever have time for.
I have decided to show the best of 2014 in two blog posts – one about wedding photography and one about maternity, newborn & family portraits (coming next) – it would be too difficult to show all of these pictures in one post.
Selecting images for this blog post was hard and took a long time. I narrowed it down from 300 (i know…) to almost 100 (hopefully that won’t crush my or your server). I tried to show you a great variety and hope you enjoy looking through this long blog post.
And last but not least, this is me according to Ian Lloyd:
If you made it till the end of this long blog post, I thank you a lot for your patience and interest. I cannot wait to see what 2015 brings and am so excited!
