South Lodge Hotel Wedding Photography

South Lodge Hotel Wedding Photography from London and Surrey Wedding Photographer Mat Quake. Here is a little sneak peek from Alex and Hannah’s wedding at the lovely South Lodge Hotel. It’s been rain, rain, rain for what seem like an age but I’ve been lucky on wedding days. Again, a break in the wet weather which allowed us to go down to the nearby woodland gardens for some lovely, softly directed photographs of the two of them. Here are a handful of shots I was keen to share. Lots more highlights from this wedding if you’re keen to see some more.

Dzen and Chris are one of the nicest couples I have had the pleasure of working with. When we met in Teddington it was instantly clear that family values and children were really central to their lives. Although Dzen suspected that I might be put off by the fact that their day would be full of children it actually made me more enthusiastic about shooting their day. I had a strong sense it would give the whole wedding a very different feel and I was looking forward to being encouraged to take lots of photogrpahs of children playing and having fun. From their eldest daughter Jasmine joining them during the ceremony, to children running around in the woodland, to folk dancing, to games of Chess and Jenga on the lawn, to their youngest son Robert being spoon fed by mum whilst dad spoke of his affection for them, it was lovely to be part of such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. I have reflected many of these aspects mentioned in their wedding highlights.

Portmeirion Wedding Photography | London Wedding Photographer

Portmeirion Wedding Photography from London Wedding Photographer Mathew Quake. I was looking forward to this wedding, not only because Portmeirion Village is such a unique setting for a wedding occasion, but also because three and a half years ago I married my wife Fi here. Both Myank and Lindsay had already been married in India prior to our first meeting on the Southbank in London, some three hundred miles from Portmeirion by car. Their second wedding ceremony was to legally marry them in the UK and an opportunity to celebrate with friends and family who didn’t make the long journey to India. Although I had only done one previous wedding at Portmeirion, having grown up just a mile away in Porthmadog, I knew Portmeirion village like the back of my hand. I was also more than familiar with the local climate and, not so uncommon, lots of rain was due to fall. Although the wet weather meant formal family photographs had to be done indoors we held out for the bride and groom photographs until later in the day. I was quietly confident that the sun would pop out, my trustworthy IPhone app had said dry weather at 16.00 and it’s never let me down. We did indeed manage to get out and about early evening for a 30 minute walk around the village, taking pictures in some of Portmeirion’s most beautiful backdrops. Some guests braved the, now exposed, sandy beach but it was a bit too soggy for heels. I have done some audio recording of the vows and speeches so there is a short photo documentary to come, meanwhile, please enjoy their wedding photography highlights.

Guildhall Worcester Wedding Photography | Richmond Wedding Photographer

A sneak peek (perhaps a little more than that) of Chuck and Sarah’s wedding. The ceremony took place at a beautiful little church in Droitwich Spa and, despite being warned by the vicar not to take any photographs after the first hymn, I managed to sneak a few all the same! The service was followed by a vintage bus journey to Worcester, stopping at The Guildhall for all things fun, games, food, speeches and dance. The hall was decorated with fair games, fancy hats and props a plenty, bringing the vintage theme, introduced by the bus earlier, to life in the great hall. The dress code was fabulous, the atmosphere full of joy, one of my favorite weddings of the year. Lots of great natural moments caught on camera, I just love the simple shots of them both at the piano.

Hall Barn Beaconsfield Wedding Photography

Hall Barn Beaconsfield Wedding Photography from London Wedding Photographer Mathew Quake. Lucy and Wayne booked me to photograph their wedding at Hall Barn. They were looking for a documentary wedding photographer who hadn’t photographed at the venue before and so would approach the day with fresh eyes. We shot some engagement photographs of them both at the venue in the weeks leading up to the wedding, a great opportunity to talk through the style and location of the bride and groom photographs we would do on the day. Here is a selection of documentary and some softly directed photographs taken on the day.
