Venue: Latimer House
Chesham
Buckinghamshire
HP5 1UG
Latimer House is a wedding venue and a popular location to hold events and conferences. Latimer House is surrounded by beautiful country side that is a fantastic backdrop for wedding images.
I had previously photographed Zoe & James at Latimer House so as to find the best locations on the day of the wedding. This also helped the couple to get used to the way I shoot and build their confidence to help me achieve more relaxed images on the day.
First I visited James and the best man at his home to get some shots of both of them getting ready and playing Mario karts on the Nintendo.
The wedding ceremony was held at the church directly within the grounds of Latimer House which was convenient. I met Zoe to photograph her getting ready and I also managed to get some nice detail shots of her dress and flowers.
The church at Latimer House has a beautiful interior with angels painted with gold leaf facing up the isle.
I had previously spoken with the vicar who said it would be OK to take shots during the ceremony without flash. This does not pose a problem for me as I prefer natural light.
After the ceremony I was given the opportunity to take a posed signing of the register.
The staff from Latimer House greeted the bride & groom and guests with champagne and refreshments.
The weather was a bit cold so after the main group shot was taken the smaller family groups where taken in the library in front of a nice old fire place.
Romantic photographs of the bride & groom were taken in the locations that we used previously on the pre-wedding portrait. The light was great not too sunny only a bit cold so I had little time for photography.
The time came for Zoe & James and the guests to be seated. During the wedding breakfast I captured every couple at the table a task in itself. The speeches are something that I really enjoy photographing. The reactions on people's faces and laughter everyone apart from the best man is relaxed.
The cake was really amazing and even more so because the bride's mother made it. I made sure to get plenty of nice shots and details before the cake cutting.
I also took the opportunity to get some more romantic photos of Zoe & James on the elegant stair case that joins within the centre of Latimer House.
I have to say I was most impressed with the staff at Latimer House on the day. They where genuinely friendly and well organized.
After getting some great shots of the first dance it was time to say goodbye.
