Guy Collier | Documentary Wedding Photographer
That incredible wedding klaxon sounded again on Saturday. And it was probably heard right across Somerset. At this rate I’ll have to install one in my car. Claire and Tom. Somerset. A ridiculously lovely couple with the most ridiculously lovely wedding. If I had to pick some ways to describe the day they’d be these…….
INCREDIBLE WEDDING KLAXON….. I’m on a roll right now. The fantastic weddings of 2013 are coming thick and fast and my 10th of 11 weekends on the bounce continued with the frankly epic story of Fran and Duncan (and this is yet another union across country boundaries, this time Anglo-German). I literally don’t know where…
Gorgeous coverage Guy. Lovely colours and tone to your B&Ws. I have been to Bury Court Barn before and it looks great in banquet style, great job all around but I know how difficult the dance shots can be with the low ceiling, but they look fab!
Just superb Guy. You are consistently fantastic. One of my favourite photographers out there.
Beautiful coverage Guy – great story telling. Just love the reception with so many expressions captured during the speeches
Your work always makes me smile and this is no exception – superb!
Some of the nicest speech shots I have ever seen Guy. Beautiful.
Great storytelling images Guy, top stuff! (and got to love a bit of wood sawing!)
Lovely set Guy – really like your bridal prep shots and also lots of really lovely moments between people captured.
Thanks Paul. I was indeed. Thankfully they moved slowly and the vicar had allowed me a free run down the side aisle. Just made it…..the house is gorgeous isn’t it.
Lovely set Guy, you must have been quick to get the groom’s first glimpse of the bride in the church, and her glimpse of him from the other end of the aisle! Agree about the stunning house.
One word. Wow. Wow. Ok that’s two. But Laura and Sho’s wedding is worth at least two wow’s. At least. After Friday’s trip to West Sussex, Saturday was all about the long drive down to the Dorset coast, and more specifically to Abbotsbury’s Sub-Tropical Gardens for Laura and Sho’s wedding. Weird coincidence alert first –…
Lovely images from a wonderful dorset wedding Guy.
Love abbotsbury and your images capture it brilliantly
Now this is a wedding. I literally had the best time on Friday, down in West Sussex with Wendy and Rich. A few details might explain why….. Wendy is an Aussie, and Rich a Brit. They met in Richmond whilst Wendy was living over here, but now live back in Sydney, and they married in…
What a job Guy!
An amazing collection of photos and memories of our very special day, with some lovely words to boot. A very genuine, heart felt, THANK YOU.
Can’t wait to receive the full set – email coming soon with address details!
Cheers.
Hey Guy, what a fantastic job you have done here, really capturing the mood of the best wedding ever. Are there any shots of the general dancing, or did you retire after Wendy and Rich did their surprise piece?
Kind regards from “the purple aunty”.
Amazing photos. Did you use 35/1.4 most of the time? 
England, may I introduce you to Egypt. I’m sure you know each other, but perhaps not quite like this until now. Exactly 365 days after Hannah and Adel met, they married at the sublime Bury Court Barn…….and I was lucky enough to be there to document their wonderful, wonderful day. Sunday couldn’t have had more…
Amazing photos by Guy and lovely words included in the blog above. We are so pleased with the photos from our wedding day and Guy has captured all our special memories perfectly. We can’t thank you enough Guy!
Since our first meeting with Guy he put us at ease with his professionalism and down to earth nature. He thoroughly explained to us various things relating to our special day beyond photography, which proved very handy.
The weather was not the best on the day yet Guy handled this seamlessly, a true pro!
We really appreciate the top quality work you’ve done, we really didn’t notice you on the day yet you captured every single important moment. This is the best way for us to remember those memories for many years to come!
We will certainly recommend Guy for all our friends getting married and for those looking for a top notch professional photographer for other occasions!
Thank you,
Adel & Hannah
A really lovely set of photos, I think in particular I love the speech shots, Hannah is so expressive in her face and you have captured her emotion beautifully. Thanks for your kind words. See you soon …
If Carlsberg did weddings…..they’d probably use this one as their template. Charlotte and Peter at Northcote House in Sunningdale Park. Not only did they choose a spectacularly lovely venue to marry in, but they also bought together a fantastic group of people to celebrate their day. With the whole day taking place at Northcote House…
Where do I start with Nikki and Steve? St Paul’s, Willesden Green, Portland Place, Regent’s Park, open-top bus, Oxford Street, shoppers applauding from the pavements, sun, rain, tears, laughter, eating and dancing. Oh we had a ball. I started with Nikki’s prep at the Grange St Paul’s hotel opposite St Paul’s cathedral. Bridesmaids (tall ones!) and…
Thoroughly superb set Guy. Lovely richness to the pictures – it looks like a very fun day. London weddings don’t get much better than this.
Wall to wall with honest emotion. Stylish and full of heart and energy.
Guy, these are great. REALLY great. Such a superb document of the day. So much happening, so many great compositions, great moments, full of emotion. Brilliant work.
These are awesome! There are loads here and I have just finished a full bottle of beer taking all these in. Have to say I am a massive fan of the bus shots and I loved seeing all the people of London getting into the spirit.
A real stonker of a wedding set Guy, brilliantly covered. I think this is one of my favourites of yours! Truly fabulous.
What a gorgeous looking wedding, I’m kind of upset I wasn’t invited, now. Must go back in time & befriend them.
Fantastic set, Guy. One of my favourites of yours I think – so much life in every frame.
Lovely work mate…. really really nice
So this was Friday. I’m writing this on the train home, thanks to the wonder of locomotive-based wifi. I’m still thinking about Phili (short for Philippa) and Ally (short for Alasdair) and what Friday meant to them. I’ll begin at the beginning then. Ally and I know each other, albeit virtually, from a few years…
Gorgeous set Guy, brought back some memories of a romantic weekend in the Royal York Hotel.
I love the portraits on the station, the geometric shapes make for an interesting backdrop.
Superb pictures Guy. It’s hard to choose my favourite moments the quality’s so consistent, but I do love the portraits at the station, and the prep pics too!
Absolutely stunning (as always) Guy! Congrats to the happy couple!

Linus Moran - Great wedding with every detail captured perfectly Guy. Its starting to make perfect sense now on viewing your work – why would I ever want to turn my camera on its side & shoot an upright / portrait shot?
Pete Burkwood - Another great set of images as usual, Guy! Consistent quality.
Plus once again reading your blog I have an achy finger from scrolling to the bottom!
