Noelle and Ross at the Tithe Barn in Ditcham near Petersfield


So for my first wedding of the year I had the great honour and pleasure of photographing Noelle and Ross' wedding at the Tithe Barn at Ditcham near Petersfield. A fantastic stone barn which has long been on my list of Hampshire wedding venues that I would love to photograph.

Despite not shooting a wedding for some two months over the winter I quickly got back into the swing of things.

The day started early in Emsworth at the beauty salon, and continued through until late when Ross' band played to the guests but in between it was a magical story of laughter and tears of joy which I had the opportunity to capture.

Billie Piper's wedding at St Mary's Easebourne - for the record


We are not shooting Billie Piper's wedding on Monday. We'd love to - she seems like a lovely girl, but were not. I wouldn't normally post a disclaimer for a celebrity wedding, or any other for that matter but Billie's wedding caused some amusement today at the Studio and somehow it seems right to put it on public record.
