Victoria + James | Engagement Shoot Bushy Park | Richmond Wedding Photographer

September 15, 2013

I have known Victoria for 13 years, she’s become a good friend and I was very pleased when she and James asked if I could capture their wedding. With the wedding date a week away we met in Bushy Park, Teddington, yesterday to take some pre-wedding/engagement photographs, a great way to get a feel for what we’ll do together on the big day. The woodland gardens there are a beautiful spot for photographs and despite the poor weather we still managed to get lots of pictures in the bag. I’ve shortlisted and edited a selection of softly directed, natural photographs which I felt best captured the connection they share. Really looking forward to capturing their day next week. Love to you Victoria and James.

Danielle + Ody | London Engagement Shoot | London Wedding Photographer

September 10, 2013

Engagement photoshoot featuring Danielle and Ody by London Wedding Photographer Mathew Quake. Another great engagement shoot along the Southbank in London. I love taking pictures in this location, lots of different urban backdrops to take advantage of. We met outside the Festival Hall and, after I explained my plan of action, we pretty much kicked off straight away. I wanted to try a few different things, reportage and soft poses to explore what they were comfortable doing and what suited them. Here is a small selection of images we both liked from the session for different reasons.

Anna + James | Avington Park Wedding Photography | London Wedding Photographer

September 10, 2013

Avington Park Wedding Photography by London Wedding Photographer Mathew Quake. I have had the pleasure of knowing Anna for some time through my event photography and I was delighted when she booked me to photograph her marriage to James at Avington Park. My day started at Alesford, where I met James, his best man and ushers at the local pub to take some candid shots of them enjoying a pre-wedding drink and some good banter. I then made my way to Anna’s home her home in the picture postcard village of Cheriton, where, upon arriving, I noticed Anna in her bedroom window, glancing at her phone with a smile -‘click’, a nice little moment captured. The day was blessed with fab weather (actually, quite hot), great guests to take photos of and a very impressive wedding reception venue (which was very well organised by events manager Anna Trant on the day I must add). I particularly enjoyed taking some photographs of Anna and her father making the sunny walk from home to the church. One of my favourite weddings this year and I wish the very kind and considerate Anna and James a lifetime of happiness. I hope you enjoy the short sample of candid moments captured on the day.

Harry + Natasha | Portmeirion Wedding Photography | London Wedding Photographer

Harry and Natasha’s Portmeirion Wedding, North Wales.

Portmeirion Wedding Photography by London Wedding Photographer Mat Quake. I was delighted when Harry and Natasha got in touch about their wedding in Portmeirion, one of my favorite venues in the UK to photograph at. It’s a wedding photographers paradise for pictures, with the village and seafront offering fantastic backdrops for photographs, candid or softly directed. The wedding day started for me at one of the village suites, to capture some photographs of Natasha getting ready before meeting Harry and his best men. Whilst I have focused on documenting the story of their day through moments and guests, I have also aimed to capture as much of the location as possible in my shots, so that the unique setting of the village, hotel and coastline is shines through in their photographs. Harry and Natasha are a lovely couple with a really close bond that comes through in their photographs. I wish them all the very best for the future , thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of it. Please enjoy the story of their day and feel free to leave a comment.

Kim + Victoria | Century Club London Wedding Photography | London Wedding Photographer

Kim and Victoria’s Century Club London Wedding

Century Club London Wedding Photography by London Wedding Photographer Mathew Quake. Kim and Victoria were guests at Kylie and Mike’s wedding at The Berkley last year and liked my documentary style of photography, so booked me to photograph their civil ceremony and reception at private members club, The Century Club. Having been together over twenty years they finally decided to get married and, clearly, their super suited to eachother. I did a few ‘getting ready’ photographs in North London, before making my way to the Century Club. The venue offers a nice, relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere, with a great roof terrace, perfectly suited to soaking up the evening sunshine. This is definitely one of the most entertaining weddings I have had the pleasure of capturing and I think this shines through in the photographs. I wish Kim and Victoria bags of happiness for the future, enjoy the snapshot of their day.
