Laura & Laura at The Norfolk Mead, Coltishall July 2017

Wed, 09 Aug 2017 13:04:42 GMT

Last month took me to The Norfolk Mead, Coltishall, for a fantastic wedding.

Fabulous couple Laura and Laura had planned their day to perfection, and the weather was absolutely perfect. In fact, shooting group shots just after mid day with no cloud cover or shade is just as testing as it gets for the wedding photographer, so placement of groups is key, together with some powerful strobe lighting.

Laura and Laura where both led to the ceremony by their dads, and met together just outside the beautiful ceremony room at The Norfolk Mead, in the stunning garden. A wonderful moment.

Video was provided by Pyramid Productions.

Plenty of laughs, tears and emotions were on view, but in terms of best weddings to capture, it will be hard to beat!

The Boathouse - Si Grand Photography at the 2017 Wedding Fair

Mon, 27 Mar 2017 12:42:24 GMT

On Sunday 19 March 2017, The Boathouse, Ormesby St Margaret, Norfolk, held is 2017 Wedding Fair, and Si Grand Photography were there!

With the main building and the marquee looking stunning, a whole host of suppliers were there to meet and great some lovely potential clients. The fair was open from 11-4 and a huge number of people visited.

If you are still to decide for a venue for your wedding, then you really should make a visit to The Boathouse. Belinda and her team really know how to look after you, and as for the venue, well it really is breathtaking.

I've been lucky enough to shoot many weddings here, and with views like you can see i my images, its no wonder the place is very popular! Where else can the bride be brought to the ceremony by boat? Where else can you have stunning sunset images on a jetty over the water? It really is fabulous. The Boat House View at The Boat House The Boat House The Boat House

Bateman's Barn Wedding Spring 2014

Mon, 30 Jun 2014 08:57:34 GMT

What a wonderful wedding at Bateman's Barn, South Elmham. Setting is absolutely glorious and Gemma & Benji were so much fun to work with. Bateman's Barn is a photographers dream - beauty everywhere, together with some ruins too. I thought it would be good fun to light up the ruins at dusk, as I love to go use off camera flash. A few images attached.....
