AN ODE TO 2012

Sometimes when life gets busy, it’s easy to forget, the people and the places, the dusks and the sunsets. Those days through the year when you felt your heart beat, huge smiles from new people you were quite lucky to meet. Be still for a moment, just sit and recall, reflect on the absolute beauty of it all. Life is quite frantic and at times it’s quite sad, but these are the memories that make our souls glad.

This year I’ve been invited on a number of days, with camera in hand and finger ablaze, to witness small fragments of love and sheer bliss, a sum of thirty-eight weddings and they looked a lot like this…


 

One last wedding tomorrow sees the end of the year, an ode to twenty twelve, to love and good cheer!

    Jing & Bai are a truly unique couple. From the moment we met, I loved their style and individuality, Jing’s cheeky eyes and Bai’s sense of calm. I was honoured to photograph their intimate London wedding, which they shared together with twenty friends. At our first meeting, Bai told me that he liked tilt-shift photography, so I bought a tilt-shift lens to use at their wedding. It’s a tiny little bit magic.

  • RECENT MAGAZINE FEATURES

    The May & June issue of You & Your Wedding magazine is very exciting as it features quite a few of my photos, both weddings and portraits.

    I got to meet the magazine’s new editor Maxine Briggs and spent a little while photographing her around her office. She’s very lovely and will no doubt do a tremendous job in heading up one of our favourite titles.

    I was also asked to photograph Peta who has the enviable title of editor-at-large and her very stylish fashion assistant, Alison.

    It’s always lovely for my clients to have something else to hold onto after the wedding and Clare & Rich’s Cotswolds wedding was an absolute detail-fest, just perfect for You & Your Wedding. Their beautiful wedding will be blogged soon, I promise!

  • A FRENCH GARDEN WEDDING

    On a Wednesday in late summer, when the sky was grey then blue, Tim & Phammy planned a party, and from Aus to France they flew. Chairs were set in the garden, friends and crates of local wine, with his best suit and her new dress all pressed and looking fine. The sun came out as they said their vows, the birds in the trees began to sing, they held hands and smiling at each other, sealed their promises with two rings.
