    Child Portraits

    It was nice to see Nicola again with members of her family, and to meet for the first time Annaliese, her daughter. Updated pictures was the request, since the last time we took some was in 2011. We photographed each child separately, with their sibling and as a group.

    Family Portraits

    We had a lovely morning seeing Alison, Nathan and Elodie again recently.  The last time we saw them was in September last year, when we photographed Elodie for the first time.  What a difference a few months makes!  With Elodie on the move, we had to be quick, but great results and good fun!

  • Stock Brook Manor Wedding Photography – Jane & Geoff

    Stock Brook Manor Wedding Photography

    It was a windy but a bright dry day for Jane and Geoff’s Wedding at Stock Brook Manor.  Jane’s final bridal preparations were taking place upstairs at Stock Brook, which is where we found her with her Daughter, Nicki, Son, Dan and Granddaughter, Mikayla. Whilst I was capturing a few informal pictures upstairs, Geoff was having his pictures taken downstairs by David.  In between times Geoff was welcoming the Guests. We took a few pictures of Jane and her family, as Geoff and the Wedding Guests made their way into the Garden Room for the Ceremony.  Jane took Dan’s arm,with Mikayla leading the way, they walked into the Ceremony Room. Stock Brook Manor Wedding PhotographyAfter the Ceremony, everybody enjoyed the Drinks Reception inside. We found the most sheltered spot from the wind to take  Jane & Geoff’s requested groups pictures.  The reactions they caused will be remembered! Good fun! Jane and Geoff then re-joined their Guests to continue the Drinks Reception, allowing us to capture some informal pictures.  Jane and Geoff wanted to spend as much time as possible with their Guests but we did manage to steal them away for a few minutes for their ‘together’ pictures. Ted Prior the Toastmaster organised the Receiving Line before the start of the Wedding Breakfast in the Rosewood Suite. The Speeches provided us with some good images and after taking some informal pictures later, it was time for us to leave. A lovely day of Stock Brook Manor wedding photography.
