And that’s what happened when I met Rachel and Adam the other day at Albury Park in Guildford, Surrey. We had some rotten weather that day. When we met, the light was fading fast. So we did some fun stuff with flash photography in the twilight.

Then we found this swing hanging from a tree by the lawn. Should make a stunning picture on the big day!

Albury Park won’t be a wedding venue for long as it is soon to be turned into luxury apartments. So it will feel extra special as Rachel and Adam will be one of the last couples to celebrate their wedding day there.

Watch this space for their wedding images…..

A pre-wedding photo shoot is the ideal way to get to know your wedding photographer, for your wedding photographer to get to know YOU and to share your plans for your wedding day.

When I met Vickie and Ross recently at Wellington College, I wasn’t sure who was more excited about their upcoming wedding…. them or me! It’s such a wonderful setting for their big day. Stunning architecture well kept gardens, and a couple who can’t wait to enjoy their day.

It’s common for couples to be a little unsure of what to do in front of a photographer. But it is something we can quickly overcome and, within minutes, they were laughing and joking their way around the venue. They also shared some of their plans for the day too. It’s exciting stuff. And we’ll be there to cover all the fun and romance of the day.

The vicar was very relaxed about the whole ceremony and small church gave a wonderfully cosy feel to the whole proceedings. The day certainly wasn’t short of laughs and everyone had a great time at Michele and Trevor’s Star Wars wedding.

…. and we may have added a few “Special Effects” to one or two of the images….

When we were booked to be the wedding photographers at Michele and Adrian’s wedding at Merrist Wood Golf Club, Guildford, Surrey, we expected to see a few bunkers and the odd water feature on the course.

However, on the day, we had the most wonderful weather and found this lovely fountain and boat house on the course. The setting sun and warm breeze made for a fun and relaxed atmosphere and they both immersed themselves in the fun and romance of their day. I think it really shows in their wedding photos.

Although the ground was a little soft, Adrian was willing to do his bit to get Michele into the right place without getting any dirt on her shoes… and Michele didn’t object to a little bit of chivalry!

From start to finish, our experience of Darren Wingham as our Wedding Photographer was totally amazing. He was professional and courteous and altouugh my husband and I used to hate having our photographs taken, Darren instilled confidence and poise in us both!

On the day itself, he was prompt and kind – even taking the time to photograph my very heavily pregnant hairdresser and our dog! Nothing was too much trouble and he was fanstasic in his dealing with us and our large wedding party. No-one felt that he was intrusive in his approach and they enjoyed posing when asked!

When we saw the photos, they brought us to tears – the whole day was brought back to us in beautiful pictures. The music overlaying the dvd was so appropriate and very cleverly done!

I would thoroughly recommend Darren and Real People Photography to anyone – so glad we found him to capture the magical moments of our special day!

The woods themselves are situated within the grounds on The Pitt Hall Barn. It’s wonderfully characterful inside and made for a fun and informal wedding day. It’s also a date Paul won’t forget in a hurry as it’s also his birthday!

It’s also a great venue for a wedding photographer, as we can easily blend into the background to capture natural images of people enjoying the day…

My reply is always the same. Just enjoy your day and let us do the rest. Because If you’re having a great time on your wedding day, we, as wedding photographers, are able to get some wonderfully natural wedding photos of you and your guests.

Tracy and Steve were just one of those couples who said just that when we first met. (Don’t take my word for it, read their testimonial). Fast forward to the wedding day. Everywhere Lucy and I pointed our cameras there were people having a wonderful time!

Enjoying the fun and romance of your day… it’s what the perfect wedding day is all about!

“Before the big day Darren was completely flexible and receptive to our ideas, which made him stand out. This made him particularly easy to work with during a high stress time. He took time to understand exactly what we wanted and then offered suggestions which helped enormously, and came up with some really artistic ideas.

He was fun and easy to work with on the day and stayed unobtrusive. He was also flexible to our changes plans on the day itself.

We expected a long wait to see the shots but we were pleasantly surprised to see the pictures quite soon afterwards. When we did they easily exceeded our expectations and continue to give us much pleasure. We love the photos, especially some taken on the way to reception and they are a fantastic memento of the day.

Darren comes highly recommended.”

This was one of those wonderfully intimate weddings. 25 of their closest friends and family came to Penny and Peter’s wedding. The cosy atmosphere of Vineyard and Michelin star food is just perfect for the occasion.

And there were plenty of opportunities for a wedding photographer to take some natural images of people enjoying the fun and romance of their day. Also plenty of places to take some romantic images of the bride and groom.

Liz and Derek's wedding.

“Real People Photography stood out for us from all its competitors as they offered a little something extra to the standard wedding photography package.

Liz and Derek's wedding.

We met Darren early on a Saturday morning in November at our chosen venue, the weather was rather wet and miserable and Darren had travelled from his home some 60 miles away for our first meeting.  It certainly didn’t dampen his spirits as he came across as extremely personable and enthusiastic as we walked around the venue.  He took time in listening to our requirements and added plenty of wedding photography ideas himself.

On the big day Real People Photography blended in very well amongst the wedding guests and captured some amazing natural shots.  He is very much a ‘people’ photographer, bringing out  the  character, personalities and warmth in all his subjects with impeccable timing.

The Photo-Booth option,  which Real People Photography also offer, was a fantastic idea which tagged very nicely onto the end of the day, enabling our friends and families to make the most of having professional portraits taken in a studio environment beit formal or fun, it certainly went down very well and finished off the day very nicely.

Overall we were very impressed with the results and thought the DVD was put together beautifully.  We would highly recommend Real People Photography.”
