The Talbot Inn Surrey Wedding Photography

Alex & Gary

“Dan was an absolute joy to have there and the imagery is exactly what we wanted – with a few mega surprise photos in there as well!”

Alex & Gary

You really have to love couples who decide to get married in a pub.

Not just any old pub of course. In this instance, Alex & Gary tied the knot at the magnificent Talbot Inn in Ripley, Surrey. Apparently, Lord Nelson used to stay there with his lady friend / mistress Emma Hamilton.

Also, itâ€™s a pub thatâ€™s even older than I am (â€œimpossible!â€, I hear you exclaim). Anyway, the Inn dates back to 1453, which is just before Liverpool won their last league title if memory serves me correctly? Sniffâ€¦

The day didnâ€™t start too auspiciously, if Iâ€™m honest. My car decided not to start, meaning I had to hastily jump in an Uber for the hour long journey round the M25 (and back), which wasnâ€™t cheap. It was pouring with rain when I arrived at the venue to photograph bridal prep with Alex and her bridesmaids, and to top it all off I managed to break one of my light stands as well. Oops.

In the end, none of that mattered.

I knew when I met Alex and Gary that the day would run smoothly, because theyâ€™re just lovely, laid-back people. As were their family and friends, who I laughed and joked with throughout the day.

So a huge thanks to you both for allowing me to share your wedding with you, and here are some highlights!
