This Friday Mark and Claire photographed the wedding of Susie and Matt at Langshott Manor.

Despite the changeable weather of late, Friday was a gloriously sunny day which allowed the bridal party and guests to enjoy drinks and canapes on the terrace.

Susie and Matt make a great couple and both looked stunning on the day.

Mark is the recommended photographer at Langshott Manor which is a beautifully restored 16th century manor house set in a secluded country lane and surrounded by three acres of stunning gardens and an ancient moat.

Mark has photographed numerous wedding at Langshott and knows how to make the best use of the elegant interiors which feature exposed beams, polished oak panelling and glowing log fires.

Congratulations to Susie and Matt

I’d driven past this abandoned garage for quite some time and thought it would make an ideal background for a shoot one day, but as we’d been really busy lately hadn’t really thought too much about – then all of sudden we found out it was going to be partly demolished and refurbished. With some quick thinking and some very quick planning we managed pull together a shoot based on a 40/50’s style

Despite a few technical problems (cars breaking down and our two male models no showing!) were really pleased with what we managed to produce at such short notice!
