Bridal Shoot at glorious wedding venue Kingston Bagpuize House, Oxfordshire

If you are planning a country wedding then Kingston Bagpuize House should certainly be on your list of venues to check out.
Last year I was part of a bridal shoot held at this lovely country home to capture some images for their new wedding brochure.  We had a lovely day and a fabulous student-turned-model for the day who did an amazing job in front of the lens.   Sue Lund of Cariad Bride, Faringdon supplied the fabulous wedding dress and these gorgeous bouquets were by Debbie and Holly at Thanks a Bunch florist, also in Faringdon.  I'm happy to say many of these images now feature in the Kingston Bagpuize House wedding brochure.  Here are some of the great images from the day.

Photography: Judi Checketts Photography

Dresses:  Sue Lund, Cariad Bride Faringdon

Flowers:  Holly Green, Thanks A Bunch, Faringdon

Model:  Tara Whenray

Folio Wedding Albums

Following a recent enquiry about my wedding albums I thought I would share how gorgeous these Folio Fine Art Albums are with everyone!     Only available through your professional photographer they are perfect for the bride and groom looking for a Fine Art Wedding album which will stand apart from other albums on the market. They also work great as portrait albums for family lifestyle shoots or birthday party celebrations etc.

Each album is a bespoke design by me which then is lovingly handmade into a high quality album by those clever people at Folio Albums - it takes a little longer than the manufactured albums but definitely worth the wait.   They come with a leather cover in a choice of colours and each image is printed on fine art paper providing high resolution with a pure clarity that lasts.   And because Folio are using sustainable resources together with eco packaging and carbon neutral shipping you can feel good about the environment too!

They are available in 8x8", 10x10" and 12x12" sizes as well as a 6x6" which is perfect for parent albums.  Each album has a standard 15 spreads (30 pages) which can be increased to a maximum of 40 spreads (80 pages) so plenty of room to include all those images you want to keep.  Each spread lays flat as you view the album and can be printed across the crease without any ink cracking or discolouration. Take a look at these images below and you will see why I have chosen these high quality albums as part of by offerings to clients.
