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 RANGERS HOUSE WEDDING

You might recognise this bride from a wedding I photographed in September for her sister, with the red shoes. It turns out that style runs in the family…

…

I don’t think I could write enough to explain how special it really was. Not only was Sam the most besotted groom, he laughed and joked all day in his bow tie and floral shirt, whilst Ella beamed and grinned and looked amazing at their very emotional English Heritage wedding in Greenwich. It was then off to the local wine vaults for a secret dinner, decked out with candles and hand-chosen gifts for everyone.

…

Such beautiful people, such beautiful details, such a beautiful day. Thank you both so much for letting me record it for you; it was an absolute honour.

A YOU & YOUR WEDDING FEATURE

I am always thrilled to see my work in magazines and doubly excited when the bride is as excitable as the very lovely Jo. The Scoones had a very colourful summer wedding in Kent last year and it was an absolute treat to photograph.

You can see their feature in the latest copy of You & Your Wedding, January/February. What a brilliant start to the year for us both!

I am very lucky to have had some incredible support from magazines such as the British Journal of Photography, You & Your Wedding, Cosmopolitan Bride and Wedding magazine over the past twelve months. I’m also very grateful to some truly beautiful blogs too; Once Wed, Style Me Pretty & here on our very own Great British Isles, Rock N Roll Bride, Before the Big Day, Belle Amour & Love My Dress have all been very lovely to me too.

I have another thirteen weddings to blog from last year, alongside a couple of engagement sessions too. I do so love this quieter time of year; spending lots of time talking to my summer brides, booking flights for foreign weddings and wandering around town taking portraits.

My next wedding isn’t until March, in the very beautiful Stockholm; one of my favourite cities in the world, where absolutely everyone is beautiful. It’s absolutely true and I’ll prove it!
MY 2015

The year that has passed was a year to remember with twenty-four weddings from March til December, sunshine and rain clouds, the occasional cold, the making of new friends and reuniting with old. The hours on motorways and too-early flights, Greek island adventures, eating cake at midnight, the love & the promises, all the things I have seen, so here is a little of my twenty fifteen…

A CAVENDISH SQUARE WEDDING

Megan & Nathan got married on a sweet, still day in May. I started the morning with Megan at the Haymarket Hotel where she was getting ready with a pretty little entourage of glamorous friends and family.

Thank you Meg & Nate, for inviting us as guests and for having me photograph your lovely wedding.

In the five weeks since I last blogged, I have photographed four weddings in London, a wedding in Tuscany and a wedding in Rome atop a castle. I’ve been to the south of France, fallen in love with St Tropez, photographed an intimate elopement, flown back to Tuscany to photograph another sweet little wedding, and spent two glorious days in the unexpected London sunshine with a wedding at Northbook Park and a very first True Mod wedding.

We’ll be making up for lost time next week with a glamorous wedding in Provence, full of sunshine, smiles and our ever-gorgeous Georgia.
A CHATEAU GRIMALDI WEDDING

At this beautiful late-summer wedding in Provence, the sun shone bright and bold and friends by the dozen flew all the way to France, to witness C & D’s vows be told. We clapped and we cheered and the mothers smiled wide, and everyone sipped champagne before supper outside…
