London photography weddings
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.

Laura & Andy were one of my very first bookings at the beginning of the year and I knew immediately that we’d get on really well. They’re both into swing dance and wanted something individual for their wedding day, so they chose to get married at Nonsuch Mansion, which is a truly beautiful Surrey venue, if you happen to be looking for one.















































I had such a great day with Laura & Andy and their cool bridesmaids, I came away having made some great new friends, with a new addicition to her Frock N Roll Vintage blog. The staff at Nonsuch Mansion are fantastic too. I was served a hot three-course meal and a whole bottle of wine (which being the consummate professional, I didn’t touch!) It was possibly the best venue that I’ve had the pleasure of working at, all year.
This wedding was also featured on Kat’s ever-inspiring blog, Rock N Roll Bride today, so head on over to read a little more about Laura & Andy’s planning and inspiration.



It’s memories like these of last summer’s weddings, that bring a smile to my face. Remembering the sunshine and smiles and feeling very grateful that my job is to photograph people enjoying themselves, laughing and joking and sharing a celebration. Miki & Tom had brunch with their friends and family at The Bastide near Cannes, France and it was rather splendid.

When I first met Jamie & Laura for coffee and a chat in London, I was a little bit enthralled with them both. Introspective and thoughtful, I knew that their wedding was going to be a quietly elegant affair and I could tell from their exchanges that it was definitely going to be a beautiful one.


I don’t think I would have believed a little over two years ago, that I would ever have a job that I love this much. I get to meet people who trust me to photograph their beautiful weddings, full of love and laughter and tears and then, magazines ask me for those photos. I get to see my work in print. My photos sit on coffee tables, get stuffed in handbags, stuck in scrap books, but most importantly, printed and framed and put on walls to remind people of their beautiful memories.
Here is a recent publish of Tori & Oli’s most amazing wedding last summer.

It’s in the most recent copy of Brides magazine, which made me gasp at the shelf at WH Smiths and frantically buy two copies; one for me and one for Tori. She writes a blog called Wellies & Vogue and this is Conde Nast’s bridal title. It made me proud as punch, chuffed to pieces. I’m grinning from ear to ear right now.

Thank you to all of the lovely ladies at Brides, who featured Tori & Oli’s wedding, as I know that they themselves are thrilled. Thank you Tori, Oli, Deborah, Hannah, Lucy and Dominique. This one here means more than I can really even begin to explain.

I'll be there!
Wow-it looks amazing in print. Wish I could be there but I'm away. I'll heckle you in person next time. Promise.
The BJP is an excellent magazine which gives you more credit than just a generic wedding magazine. Nice exposure.
I cannot wait to see you up there (can I borrow your camera?)!
Check you out!! Well done you. Thoroughly deserved and I'm sure you'll do brilliantly.
Well done, shame they werent able to do it earlier then we both would have got to speak on the day! But you will get to meet my boss at the magazine, Catherine x
Wow! so impressed with your speaking at such an auspicious event! only wish i could be there but sadly working. any chance JasonG will record your speech via his phone? couldn't be anymore prouder of you! annette xx
I've just booked a spot on this. Perhaps a bit randomly as I'm not a wedding photographer (but who knows what can happen in the future hey?). Hopefully we can meet for a quick hello if you have time. Estelle
