Here are some of my friends, not all of them, but they are a select bunch, and it's not just a case of shameless plugging, I've sampled their hospitality, service, assistance, creativity, advice and innuendo, and had my life enriched through knowing them… Well, that's a bit strong, but they are nice people.
Teri and her team have been really good to me over the past 12 months, even allowing me to totally trash one of their dresses! If you haven’t seen one of Teri and Lianne's fashion shows at a wedding fayre, you have missed out.
A beautiful character rich manor house, surrounded by wonderful gardens. As a venue for intimate weddings the choice is limited to few in Wiltshire, and Stanton Manor should be near the top of the list.
A creative design agency based in Swindon, led by Mark Jones and Dawn Randall. I've worked with them for ten years, they designed the original robertdann PHOTOGRAPHY brand, and I can never speak highly enough of their work.
The agency that dreamt up this website's design. Now I've worked with a lot of global and regional agencies in my life, but Doggetts in Swindon, and this Freebird mob in Fleetwood, are very good creative thinkers. So, thanks to The Northern Lippy Cockney - Carl, The Quiet One - Dave, Jamie St John-Salisbury-Smythe-Jones (very posh, good with the words), Zoe and Rosie who seem to keep order, and the bosses Nigel and John, who seem like very nice chaps, although judging on John's beautiful wife and children, I reckon there's been a milkman involved at some stage.
Based in Devizes, Colin's team of hair stylists have worked with me on many shoots, and their professionalism, enthusiasm and sense of adventure is wonderful. Great team with a very loyal and hip client list , from which you can always tell a Salon knows what they're doing… Word of warning though, never ask Colin to remember anything, always tell the team!

Based just outside Devizes, Chloé is a Beautician and Make Up artist. A number of the bridal shots you see on the site will be Chloé's make up skills and Colin's hair design skills. Chloé's a good friend and so all my girlfriends tell me, an excellent beautician... She also looks great in front of the camera!
Telephone: 01380 848423
Having spent a fantastic day on a bridal shoot here a few months back, I'm looking forward to the bookings I have at the venue in 2009. A great team led by Hannah, with wonderful views, and for photography a great gallery, balcony, and fountain!
