Wenisa and Jahan's Wedding at Nonsuch Mansion

Set within 300 acres of sumptuous parkland Nonsuch Mansion is a historic Grade II listed Georgian house and one of Surrey’s most sought-after wedding venues. Each room features beautiful natural daylight with memorable views across Nonsuch park. Wensia and Jahan had exclusive use of the house for their Autumn wedding in November and it was an amazing day filled with both Chinese and Indian traditions to celebrate the coming together of their two families. The day started with a beautifully crisp sunny morning as I walked around the grounds to capture some lovely shots of the venue with it’s stunning surroundings. After meeting with Jahan and the boys I headed up to see Wenisa as she prepared for the mid morning tea ceremony. She looked absolutely amazing in her traditional Chinese outfit and she wrapped a red bow around Jahan before they went downstairs to begin. Emotions were running high from the start as both families joined in to exchange tea and gestures of goodwill. From there it was time for the civil ceremony and Wenisa made a seemingly rapid outfit change in to her white dress before coming downstairs to meet Jahan to exchange their vows. After the ceremony the newlyweds walked through a tunnel of waving ribbon wands which made for a unique and fitting alternative to confetti and of course, some great pictures! I then took Wenisa and Jahan around the park’s many nooks and crannies for some time away from the crowd and some relaxed shots of the two of then. Before we knew it night was upon us just as the wedding breakfast and speeches started with traditional Bhangra drums leading the couple in to cut their cake. With an acoustic guitarist providing the melodies for the evening the dancing soon got underway, creating for a relaxed and harmonic atmosphere for rest of the wedding.

Wenisa and Jahan were truly amazing to work with and I’m very excited to share some of my favourite images from their day……….

“Thank you so much for the pictures – we absolutely love them!! Not sure how you managed to get everyone in the pictures, but they are just perfect.” – Wenisa & Jahan

When we finished looking through our wedding photos all we could say was WOW! They are spectacular! So so special! Thank you so much. All the emotions came rushing back looking through them again. Selecting our favourites for the album is going to be very hard work. We kept saying while looking at the pictures that you must have been running around to get so many different beautiful shots from different angles. Very impressive and so many guest have commented on how nice you were which has obviously helped you get so many fab shots. Thank you a million times over! We had an amazing day and you've helped capture it forever. We will recommend you to everyone we know!

Murray did the photography of our wedding in June 2018, and we were completely over the moon with the results. He spent time capturing our perfect keep sake moments throughout the day and was a pleasure to have at our special day. Murray was personable from the moment we met him, and during our day blended into the background making sure he took shots of every guest and capturing every moment perfectly.

Myself and my husband cannot give a high enough rating for Murray's work . We hired him and his sister, Alicia for our wedding and we are so so glad we did. One of the best decisions we made when it came to our wedding. Not only are they two of the loveliest people but they are so talented at what they do. They both made us feel incredibly comfortable and at ease and the shots they got are just beautiful. I would recommend Murray Clarke to anyone looking for a top class photographer. We cannot thank him and Alicia enough and our wedding photos are gorgeous and perfect, such fantastic quality. Everyone should book Murray!

We've so many beautiful photos to choose from it was hard to find the perfect one for the thank you cards! He was easy to work with, fitted in with our guests and did a perfect job. Thanks so much Murray!

My husband & I are absolutely thrilled with Murray's pictures of our wedding day, and how he went above and beyond all of our hopes for a photographer. He was incredibly professional and also fitted in so well with the wedding guests due to his kind nature. We were thrilled to have him with us on the day and so grateful for the amazing pictures we have received. Highly recommended

From our initial meeting with Murray, he put us totally at ease and we knew straight away he would be the perfect photographer for our wedding. He manages to blend in and is lightning fast in capturing those candid photos of the big day. He also knows how to stage absolutely stunning shots using both natural light and flash lighting in ways average photographers wouldn't even think of. He quite literally stood in a snowy ditch at one point just to get the perfect angle. The final shots he sent us are absolutely amazing and we couldn't be happier with them.

Murray was the perfect photographer for our wedding day, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. He was well organised before the day, talking us through all the stages and making sure we got the pictures we wanted. On the day he was friendly and very professional, and not intrusive on our special moments. Little things like learning the names of key guests and a friendly smile made the service much more personal. Finally, the pictures are great, and really capture all the joy and key moments of the day.

Little did we know when we booked Murray and Alicia we were in for a white wedding. They battled through the snow and freezing temperatures to capture the most perfect images for us. Their attention and eye for detail really captured the beauty of our special day, they listened to what we wanted and worked tirelessly to achieve that. Our photos are simply breath taking and we know we would not have got that anywhere else. Would thoroughly recommend Murray for anyone's wedding without hesitation.

Murray's photography and service were top-notch. His photographs captured the day so beautifully, with exactly the style that we were after. He was great on the day, coping with challenges admirably and blending in seamlessly to our wedding day. A thoroughly pleasant chap to work with and definitely an asset to the day. Would not hesitate to recommend.

We had high expectation when we looked at Murray's online portfolio at the first place and Murray had exceeded that expectation. Me, my husband, our family and friends all love the wedding photos and the engagement photos he delivered. Murray's photos tell a story of our wedding better than I could ever do. He captured all the precious moments without being obtrusive. We could barely notice him being around at the ceremony and the reception, yet when we looked back at the photos, he recorded even the smallest beautiful details. We received the photos really quickly. When we browsed through the photos, they were more like a movie. I don't know what's the best way to describe them, but you'll know it when you see it - it's a true documentation of everyone's happiness, not just lots of beautiful photos together, which I think is what great wedding photos should be.

We, and our families, absolutely love our photos! It was an absolute pleasure to have Murray as our photographer at our wedding, he did a superb and professional job capturing the day. I'm glad I let him talk me into going out in the rain in my dress, it was worth it! We honestly couldn't be more pleased to have such amazing memories of the day forever. Thank you so much for your hard work Murray!

Picking a wedding photographer was such a big decision for us and we couldn't have been happier with Murray. From the very start he always seem to go the extra mile and make us feel comfortable and it was obvious we had made the right choice Murray's photography style is exactly what we wanted and we couldn't be more in love with our photos. We can't stop looking at them. They capture all the important moments so naturally and he managed to achieve this so effortlessly. It was an absolute pleasure working with Murray. He's a fantastic photographer and we wouldn't hesitate to work with him in the future.

Murray and his sister Alicia did a fantastic job taking photos! I loathe having my photo taken but quite quickly I felt comfortable and wanted to pose! The group shots were all great which I was amazed by because none of my family enjoy photographs! For the rest of the time I didn't even notice any camera's which is what Murray promised and he delivered. My husband and I both love the photos as do our families and friends. Since sharing the gallery with everyone we have had completely positive feedback and my bridesmaids mothers are even framing pictures of them! Please book Murray - you will not regret it!

We were so pleased we chose Murray to photograph our wedding. The images he captured of the day were amazing and he was brilliant at getting natural relaxed shots of us and our guests. We have incredible photos of our special day and are very grateful to Murray for his hard work and eye for detail. We received our photographs very quickly and haven't stopped looking at them!

Choosing the photographer for our wedding was, to us, one of the most important decisions we had to make. When we came across Murray's work online we instantly loved the naturally beautiful shots he captured and after an initial phone call with him in which his passion and knowledge of photography shone through, we booked him instantly and never looked back. Murray was an absolute pleasure to have around on our wedding day. He was so discreet and unobtrusive, along with having a lovely fun sense of humour that our guests loved. He doesn't take hours to get the perfect shot, he has a natural eye for photography and captures the perfect moments effortlessly. He put me and my husband so at ease and the photos show how relaxed Murray made us feel. We received the photos so quickly after the wedding and we are blown away by them. They are absolutely perfect and all of our guests have commented on how beautiful they are. I have no hesitation in recommending Murray. His work is absolutely fantastic.

Matt and I met Murray last summer after finding him on Google and reading all the fantastic reviews about his work. After meeting him we knew instantly we wanted him to capture our day. He photographed our wedding and celebrations on that wonderfully warm weekend in April. Bright sunshine is not the easiest environment to photograph in but Murray overcame this with ease. He was an absolute pleasure to have as our photographer. We were over the moon with the photographs which we received a month later. Murray managed to perfectly execute the balance between capturing all the special moments, but without feeling an overwhelming presence of a photographer snapping away. Our photographs tell a story of our wedding weekend which allows us to relive it again and again. We would work with him again in an instant. Murray is a first class photographer and we highly recommend him!

We cannot thank Murray enough for the incredible photos he took at our wedding- We haven't stopped looking at them!! He was great to work with from the very start, and his creativity on the day was incredible. He captured every moment perfectly and we cannot thank him enough. We would not hesitate to recommend Murray to anyone.

Murray is a brilliant photographer! I cannot express how happy myself and my husband are with our wedding photos! Murray really takes the time to make you feel comfortable and captures everyone in a natural environment. I would highly recommend Murray and couldn't be more pleased with how our wedding photos turned out! Avril and Tom

Well what can I say, apart from choosing Murray was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He is meticulous in his approach and he strives for nothing less than perfection. He captured every moment so perfectly, so much so that he had us reminiscing and reliving the day all over again - several times! They are timeless photos that we will cherish for years to come. Thanks again Murray!

We were so excited to have Murray and his sister Alicia as our photographers for our wedding! Murray instantly made us feel at ease with the whole process right from meeting him for a consultation. He knew exactly what we were after and was able to capture some fantastic shots of the whole day! It was amazing to see the photos afterwards as there were definitely some photographs that we had no idea had been taken, which just goes to show how professional and good he is at photography. Would highly recommend him and his sister for future events. Thank you so much Murray!

We chose Murray to be our wedding photographer when we got married in September 2016. We quickly established that the photographer is one of (if not the) the most important suppliers to select and we were so very pleased we chose Murray. He has a delightful and calming manner that really helped us relax in front of camera and made what can be a chore on the big day as much as it can be. We would recommend getting him to do an engagement shoot so you can get used to being photographed together (not something we'd ever really done). He proved to be an expert in the art of blending into the background and snapping away without us knowing. He is an expert with lighting and natural/contemporary wedding shots, which is exactly what we asked for. Many of our guests complimented us on his personable manner and the unobtrusive way he went about our business. He also delivered our wedding photos in good time and kept in good contact in the build up to the big day. We thoroughly recommend!

We were so lucky to have Murray along for our wedding day. He made us and all of our guests (and the horses) feel completely relaxed and caught the character of day perfectly. The photos are amazing, couldn't have hoped for more. We're even pretty sure he brought the weather with him. Thanks Murray!
