Last month I travelled up to Oxfordshire to assist my good friend ( & great wedding photographer) Mister Phill In photographing Kath Ians wedding. Their wedding took place at Friars Court. Not a venue I’d visited before (As Oxfordshire is a little out of my usual area!) but its a really lovely country house, with a barn a lovely area for outdoor ceremonies.
I’d wanted to shoot with Phill for a while, as he has such a great sense of timing I adore the storytelling aspect of his work – Documentary photography, wedding photojournalism, reportage whatever you want to call it – Wedding Photography should be about capturing the day, telling the story… keeping those beautiful memories moments for generations to come Phill does it brilliantly! So when the opportunity to shoot with him came up, see how he works I jumped at the chance!
Phill has provided impeccable coverage of the wedding over on his blog, hes published a billion beautiful pictures to give a really thorough telling of Kath Ians story… but I wanted to share a few of my favourites from the day:

















































I love every picture.
This wedding was ridiculously cool too – totally loving all the details (and you are the master of detail shots!).
Cracking post Gromit

So many stunning images Simon, it’s hard to know where to start commenting! So many great moments and expressions captured – love the shots of the children. Amazing detail shots too. Loving your processing on this shoot (looks a little different from your previous shoots)? The B&Ws in particular are really fantastic.
Im going to start charging double and book you for every commission I get! Exquisite work Mister F! Far more than the sum of its parts.
How does the sun always shine on your shoots? These are absolutely gorgeous. I am inspired and jealous in equal measure. Very very lovely indeed.
Such a cracking collection of moments here. The kids shots are fantastic, and the details are spot on as ever. Lovely
Hi there,
This is SUCH a lovely wedding and I’m really taken by the Bride’s dress!
If you haven’t got this lined up for any other Blog, I’d love to feature this on mine, perhaps you could drop me a line?
Thanks so much and very well done on capturing a fabulous set of photographs, the really are super
Kind regards,
Annabel xXx
What a beautiful collection – really enjoyed looking at every one! The shots of the children are gorgeous, almost ethereal and I love the details, particularly the photograph wall!
Beautiful work Simon. Really beautiful.
Great work throughout and what a star second shooter! Mister Phill is one lucky guy. I especially love all the reception coverage and all the details although I am now very hungry! Really like that quirky sunset silhouette too – it’s warm and atmospheric.
Absolutely beautful pictures, the food shots have made me hungry though. Now I must go and stuff my face
– can I have some cake?
Absolutely beautiful and wonderfully evocative photos – wow!
brilliant work!
Really great images! The reportage, colours and depth of field is captured perfectly!
