A PRETTY RICHMOND ENGAGEMENT

I met Philippa and James a few months ago, to talk about their wedding in July. For their engagement session, they took me to the beautiful hidden gem that is Petersham Nurseries in Richmond and waited patiently for me to calm down and refocus on them-there were so many pretty things to look at!

  • AU REVOIR, OCTOBER

    Summer is over, autumn has arrived and the busiest months of shooting, I seem to have survived…

    October on Instagram was pretty eventful… a great deal of happiness was found with a trip to Bali to photograph a very, very beautiful wedding day, a hair-raising trip to Gilli Trawangan and a few days of peace and quiet before the 24-hour round trip back to London. I still have so much editing to catch up on, but it felt a little rude not to bid a fond farewell to the incredibly special month that was October.

  • HELLO ELIJAH

    It’s taken me quite some time to pull this post together. I’ve had mixed emotions about sharing something so personal belonging to my clients, but they asked me to when they saw them and I feel like sharing something different today.

    I had never really thought so much about photographing a birth until I was asked by my two beautiful friends. I was worried I would be in the way, that their memories would be of me and my camera and not of the birth of their first child and also selfishly, that it might put me off having my own children… I wasn’t, they aren’t and it didn’t.

    I was the first person to ever take a photograph of this human being. Hello, Elijah.

    I know he can’t really see but at four minutes old, he looked straight at me.

    Kristina, you have never been more beautiful than you were on 21st January at 7.09am. You know that I am in total awe of you both and that I’m so grateful to have been asked to be there with you, camera in hand. You are simply incredible, made of the most inspiring things and I love you very much.

    I’m away this week for a couple of days, spending time with my ma and sister. It’s times like these that reaffirm just how special a family is.

  • A HAMPSHIRE WEDDING

    Carey and James are a lovely, down-to-earth couple who got married in the first week in June. They held their reception at the very stylish Anchor Inn in the very quaint Hampshire, out in the English countryside. I have never been to such a fantastic pub in all of my life and I’m not proud to admit that I’ve visited a fair few. We had such beautiful weather that everyone was in the highest of spirits, which really made for quite the perfect day.

  2. I love the shots in the field. Gorgeous light. Looking forward to the wedding shots!

  3. I love her maxi! Cute couple and a nice few locations too nicely captured.

  4. LOVE the shot of the couple sitting in the long grass, its so beautiful!

  5. It was such a great place for an engagement session-really unusual and just so, so cool. It helps when you have gorgeous couples too of course!

  6. I love them sat on the bench looking at the camera. It's like something out of Vanity Fair.
