A BORDEAUX CHATEAU WEDDING

One cool, cloudy day in September, Alana & Anthony were wed. I boarded a flight for their wedding in France, it was going to be rad, they had said. For an intimate outdoor wedding, from Australia they all flew, she beamed and she laughed and she didn’t stop smiling and Anthony was pretty chuffed too.

Venue: Chateau de la Couronne, the Dordogne, France.

Alana & Anthony’s French wedding was also featured in the Cosmopolitan Bride Australia’s Best of Real Weddings, 2013! Thank you to Franki Hobson and the team for the feature and for kindly posting me this bumper issue, too.

Things in London have taken a much needed turn for the brighter, with the return of the sunshine this week. Trees are finally starting to blossom, legs are seeing some sunshine and I have taken to doing all of my admin in the garden.

Tomorrow, I’m off to photograph the very gorgeous Greg & Lindsi get married at Nutfield Priory and this weekend Emma Jane is getting fitted for her wedding dress. Four months and counting!

  • A RUFFLED BLOG FEATURE

    I knew I would love Alex & Chris when we first spoke on the phone early last year. They’re designers and run their own studio, We Three Club, so I was very excited to see how much of their personalities they would bring to their wedding and when Alex told me she’d be wearing a vintage dress, I was in. They booked me right there and then on the phone without even needing to meet me, which for me is always a huge compliment. She also totally out-quiffed me with her gorgeous hair, scoring an easy 10/10 in the style stakes.

  • A BRIDES MAGAZINE FEATURE

    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.

  • AN INTIMATE CAPE TOWN WEDDING

    I met Sanchia three years ago, working as a hairdresser in Camden. She was the first hairdresser to tell me that my thick and unruly hair was actually beautiful and instantly, we were friends. Together, Sanchia & Richard are a truly fantastic couple; large-hearted, vivacious and very, very stylish, so I was privileged to photograph their intimate garden ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa whilst there on holiday last month.

    Thank you Sanch & Rich for a beautiful time in Cape Town. I love you both.

    I have lots to blog in the upcoming weeks; my new wedding album, a beautiful Danish wedding and engagement sessions galore. I’ll keep you posted!

  • BUSY, BUSY, BUSY…

    Over the past few weeks I have photographed six weddings and delivered eight discs, bought two sexy new lenses, redesigned my website, booked some incredible destination weddings, made some beautiful new friends and accrued an awful lot to blog.

    So, here are some teasers from six of my recent weddings-there are plenty more to come.

    I love this job.

  • 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!

  • IN THE PAST MONTH

    …we have flown 9475km, driven 3750km, spent 17 nights in 10 different hotels, squeezed 14 newly weds, cried at 7 weddings, sat on 6 planes, spoken four different languages (at questionable degrees of fluency), travelled with three different loved ones as dutiful assistants and are now two very happy and grateful photographers. It’s been one really busy past month, but it’s also been so worth it.

    Here’s a little look at what we’ve been up to.

    My first wedding in Amalfi, for two very beautiful people…

    An engagement session in Paris for the gorgeous Janice & Michael…

    Followed by their intimate wedding in Provence…

     This glamorous wedding near Dijon for the very dapper Nicolas & the exceptional Alexandra…

    And I finished up in España with elegant Alia & dashing Pierre’s fantastic wedding in Spain…

    It has been a beyond beautiful month for us both and it looks like it’s set to last. We’re off to two lovely weddings in Ascot & Wiltshire today, a little bit closer to home.

    Have a lovely weekend one and all and an especially happy anniversary to you, Husband.

    Three years of marriage and you’re still here! I love you immensely. x
