Botleys Mansion (part of the Bijou Weddings network of venues) is a wedding venue in Surrey which I have been to half a dozen times over the past couple years. Its a great all on site venue, or works just as well as a reception after utilising the local church, golf course or pubs. With a grand staircase, impressive drive, large interior space, immaculate rooms and accommodation on site it really is just one of those venues you look forward to going back to time and time again. Last week I went to Botleys Mansion with fellow photographer Andy Green to photographer an on site wedding, reception, and dusk fireworks in the evening. However for a change I thought I would share a different angle of the venue, focusing on the bricks and mortar as apposed to the wedding guests and the wedding itself, so whilst the evening meal was served I shot around the venue with my iPhone 4 and took a few pictures with my Hipstimatic App of the venue.
All the pictures are directly from my phone, when using Hipstimatic you can choose the film, camera and lens look you want before you take the the picture, the app then processes the picture with the built in pre-sets. The great thing about this App compared to others is that you choose everything before you take the picture and not after like many others.
So here are a few of the frames, all shot in the space of 5 minutes.
