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!

I cannot wait for their wedding next month-with all the details and ideas they have planned, it is guaranteed to be amazing.
I snuck away with my husband to a pretty little island, a few nights set aside just for two. It felt like a dream, a huge breath of fresh air, Santorini I love you, I do.
One day in Covent Garden, I met a couple quite head over heels. We spoke about their wedding, shook hands and agreed a deal. I would travel out to France for them and photograph their wedding, and they would smile and laugh all day, show me their happy ending. To Provence I went, excited, with those lovely Lavender & Rose girls, so I hope you can see what a perfect day it was, as their beautiful story unfurls.
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.
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.
What a year it has been, full of joy and of laughter, a number of weddings, a few happily ever afters, some sunshine, some airports, some beautiful times, some singing, some dancing with champagne and wine, three hundred and sixty five days I have seen, a thank you to you, here’s to 2013…
This here is Miki. On the day of her wedding, she got dressed on a boat and it was bright and fresh and the view was so incredible. It was at this moment that I got a little bit awestruck. Isn’t she just beautiful?
I’m not sure that there is a better place to get ready for your wedding, than right by the sea.
I had a 4.30am start this morning for my first ever sunrise session and I’m up again at 3am for a flight to Mallorca. I am tired and I better get packing.
Beautiful shots (as always!). Petersham Nurseries looks so interesting, no wonder you were slightly distracted!
I love the shots in the field. Gorgeous light. Looking forward to the wedding shots!
I love her maxi! Cute couple and a nice few locations too nicely captured.
LOVE the shot of the couple sitting in the long grass, its so beautiful!
If you ever get chance have lunch there, it's AMAZING food!
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!
I love them sat on the bench looking at the camera. It's like something out of Vanity Fair.
