Southampton Hampshire Pre-Wedding Engagement Photography

On Saturday we met with Stacey and Nathan at the Royal Victoria Country Park near Southampton in Hampshire for their pre-wedding engagement shoot. Stacey and Nathan met on a blind date arranged by friends about six years ago. Needless to say they were a perfect match and just a short week later they set up home together. The rest as they say is history. Stacey and Nathan were great fun to photograph and I look forward to providing their wedding photography in June. The wedding will be taking place at All Saints Church in Eastleigh, followed by a wedding reception at the Legacy Botleigh Grange Hotel, Southampton, Hampshire. Here are a few photographs from their pre-wedding engagement shoot: … [Read more...]

Dorset Wedding Photographer

On Sunday we took a nice drive down from Southampton in Hampshire to Studland Beach in Dorset for a beach themed bridal shoot with model Emma who is a trained ballet dancer. We used two stunning dresses for this shoot, both designed by Nicki Hill who owns a bridal shop in Botley, Hampshire. I was really pleased with the images produced on this shoot and Emma's background in dance enabled her to create some beautiful poses. … [Read more...]

Southampton Wedding Photography – 50s Bridal Shoot

April 18, 2011 By 4 Comments
Hampshire Wedding Photographer

Over the past couple of months I have been busy organising bridal photo shoots in which I have been using gorgeous wedding dresses designed by Nicki Hill. Monday's shoot was a 50s inspired bridal photo shoot which took place at the Legacy Botleigh Grange Hotel near Southampton in Hampshire. I think Claire Wallace did a great job with Crystal's hair and make-up which really sets off this amazing black and white tartan wedding dress. The reason I'm doing these bridal photo shoots is so that all involved have the opportunity to show people what they can do whether it be photography, modelling, hair and make-up or designing wedding dresses. We all love what we do and we don't limit ourselves to using our skills only when we have weddings booked. We are passionate about our crafts and enjoy being creative in our spare time as well as when we have been booked for a wedding. It also gives brides to be the opportunity to see something a little bit different. I'm having great fun doing these … [Read more...]

Words of Thanks

Kathryn Andrews Photography Blog

With our tummies satisfied after our lunch date, my friend Lizzie and I got into the car and made our way back to my flat in Southampton, Hampshire... Lizzie was on a lunch break from work and had to head back for a meeting and I was going to carry on with some editing. As I drove into the car park I was a bit miffed that a car I didn't recognise had parked exactly half way between my space (my allocated space) and another parking space next to me. This left me no option but to park in the space to the right of mine which I didn't really want to do. The elderly man who used to park there and who has lived in the flat below me for the past seven years sadly passed away on Sunday. I knew he wouldn't be needing the space but thought that somebody might... somebody who cared deeply for him who might be coming to visit his home. As Lizzie and I walked around the corner towards my front door, I saw her, his companion in life, his friend and his carer. I had opened my door to her two days … [Read more...]

Valentine’s Meal

Valentines Meal Photography

Ok, so I don't cook very often... something to do with a lack of time... but I like to think I'm a pretty good cook when I need to be. I come from a family of amazing cooks on my mother's side... my nan and my great aunt whose family home was in Ireland, packed their bags and headed for England when they were employed by Lords and Ladies who resided at places such as Eton Place in Belgravia, London and Yeovilton in Somerset. They also worked for Lady Londonderry at Mount Stewart in Northern Ireland. My nan had six children and we used to visit her every Saturday afternoon at her home in Southampton, Hampshire where she would cook up a feast for us all... completely home made with fresh ingredients. You can't beat home made cooking. My mum, along with her brothers and sisters are all great cooks - I'm sure they should have opened a restaurant somewhere along the line. Anyway... since it was Valentine's day yesterday I decided to go that extra mile and cook a meal - from scratch... no … [Read more...]

Corfe Castle – Isle of Purbeck Dorset

Dorset Wedding Photography

A couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend and I drove from Southampton in Hampshire down to Bournemouth in Dorset and took the short ferry ride across the water to Studland. Studland is absolutely beautiful and although I've lived in the South of England for most of my life, I didn't discover it until last year. The beach is just gorgeous with miles of soft golden sand, blue waters and and plenty of trees around to provide shade during the summer months. On this occasion, we continued the scenic drive on to Corfe Castle, one of Britain's most majestic ruins and once a controlling gateway through the Purbeck Hills. … [Read more...]

Yesterday I provided the wedding photography for Graham and Natalie at the De Vere New Place in Southampton Hampshire with my friend Lizzie.

Here's a quick edit of some of the photographs I took at the wedding...   If you would like to chat about your wedding photography at The De Vere New Place, please feel free to get in touch. … [Read more...]

Lizzie’s Hampshire Wedding Preparations

January 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

In June this year, my good friend Lizzie will be marrying her fiance, Simon in a quirky, country fete styled wedding and guess who'll be providing their wedding photography.... none other than yours truly!! Eeeeeek! Lizzie has kindly agreed to share her wedding preparations with us, here's what she had to say... Lizzie met her fiance Simon way back in 1996 - Lizzie was a part time checkout girl in Tescos whilst studying for her A levels and Simon worked in a local building society. Little did they know that fate was at work. Simon had a friend who worked in Tescos who knew Lizzie, and Lizzie's mum was a regular in the building society who kept telling Simon about her daughter who worked in Tescos. Simon and about ten friends started making regular trips to Tesco and would always use Lizzie's checkout... eventually he plucked up the courage to ask her out. Three years later, when Lizzie was at university in Winchester training to be a teacher, Simon surprised her by proposing in the … [Read more...]

Winter Wedding at Cotswold 88 Hotel

Cotswold Wedding Photography

I've been looking forward to blogging about this wedding for months! Nicola contacted me a while back after she found me on Rock 'n' Roll Bride and told me how much she loved my photos :o))). We arranged to meet and discussed the wedding and photography requirements. Not only had Nicola chosen an amazing wedding venue at the Cotswolds 88 Hotel, she was also a lovely person and I was already looking forward to her big day. Saturday finally arrived and I made the journey from Southampton in Hampshire to the Cotswolds where Nicola was to marry her Australian fiance,  Cameron, and the day went without a hitch. The venue was absolutely amazing; Cotswolds 88 Hotel is an intimate lifestyle boutique hotel set in the hauntingly beautiful village of Painswick. Here, the modern and vintage merge with the historic exterior and funky interior breathing new life into the foundations of this stunning country retreat. The hotel’s ethos is based on the latest lounge trend in which luxury and … [Read more...]

Winter Rock the Frock Shoot in Hampshire

December 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Brrrrrrrr!! I'm getting cold shivers just thinking about this!... On Friday Mark and Ingrid had a fantabulous D.I.Y wedding in their home town of Colchester in Essex and they were blessed with a beautiful blanket of snow for their special day (Blessed? I hear you ask... well yes... if it's going to be this cold then it might as well snow right? And I'm sure it created a stunning scene.) Mark and Ingrid chose not to have a professional photographer on their wedding day but arranged to drive for 3 and a half hours (each way!) to come and see me for a fun but chilly Rock the Frock shoot after seeing the photos I did for Katy and Jim featured on Rock n Roll Bride. Mark and Ingrid wanted to be creative with their wedding photography and so yesterday, they headed down to me in Southampton, Hampshire and we headed off to Moors Valley Country Park in Ringwood, Hampshire for some fun photos of just the two of them. Dear Lord it was soooooooo cold!! It was freeeeeeeezing!!! Hats off to these … [Read more...]
