THE PERFECT ELOPEMENT

I often get asked what my best ever wedding was to photograph. I think people expect me to say ‘the one at Westminster Abbey’ or ‘the little one in Italy’, when really my most favourite weddings, however cliché, are the ones that are all about love. Venues are chic and expensive dresses are beautiful, but give me a couple happy and in love and I couldn’t ask for anything more. These two individuals decided to elope. They chose a place where they could exchange their vows and spend the weekend, calm and content. They chose their outfits, the day for their promises and then they chose me. I really couldn’t be more grateful sharing days like these.

Venue: Le Manoir

If you have ever thought about eloping, I say just do it. Don’t they look happy that they did?  In fact I have another elopement to photograph next month, this time in London. I’m really very fortunate to have the kind of job that invites me into occasions like these and for all the beautiful people I have the opportunity to meet. I honestly couldn’t ask for a job more satisfying.

Next up is a little wedding I had the pleasure of photographing in la città eterna. A welcome return to my second home, Rome.
