Thank you so much for the photos! We were blown away by the gallery – they captured the day so perfectly

Elizabeth and John

On a wet and windy Saturday back in August 2013 I made my way to Surrey to photograph Elizabeth and John’s Clandon Park wedding day. And what an emotional day it was. Several months before the wedding day John was unfortunately involved in a rather horrific accident. With the support of his family, friends and his loving wife-to-be, John made a great recovery.

Capturing the couple walking back up the aisle is a moment that I always aim to capture. It’s the first time they will walk hand in hand as husband and wife. But this moment had an even deeper meaning to the couple because this was actually the first time John had walked without crutches since his accident. The picture you see above serves as a reminder of the incredible willpower that John employed to get himself to the level of fitness required to allow this moment to happen. Bravo, John. Bravo.

Clandon Park is a venue I’ve worked at before but yet I never cease to be amazed by its beauty. This incredible 18th century Palladian mansion with its marble atrium plays host to the most exquisite of wedding receptions. With a shorter than usual coverage my day started with the guests arriving at Clandon Park and with the wind and rain refusing to hold off, family and friends dashed as quick as they could from nearby cars. Apart from a few drizzly spells the day dried out nicely and everyone had a smashing time.

Here are a selection of my favourite photos from Elizabeth and John’s Clandon Park wedding. If you enjoyed looking through this wedding please do leave a comment for the happy couple below.
