A BURGH HOUSE WEDDING

A quiet afternoon one Monday in spring, a wedding in Hampstead, two lovebirds and a ring. At Burgh House we gathered, on a most notable date, Gary arrived early and Clarisa was not late. They stood before friends and promised their hearts, we clapped and we grinned, we all felt a part. That beautiful day, a mole & his wife, a perfect beginning to their new married life.

Thank you so much for letting me join you in your tiny little wedding of 18, and for looking so fantastic too.

Venue: Burgh House & The Holly Bush, Hampstead // That chic 50s wedding dress: Lizzie Jayne

The past few weeks Emma Jane has been all over the place, photographing weddings in France & Edinburgh whilst I have had a little time to catch up with editing some beautiful weddings in the very English countryside and booking in some fantastic weddings for 2013. It’s an exciting time of year.

    …I have been seeing a lot of the sea.

    An intimate wedding in Mallorca and an engagement session in Brighton has made it an exceptionally good week. Both had sunshine and couples really very much in love.

    Today I’m going to be far away from the sea in the Great British city of London, photographing a wedding where Shakespeare used to wet his whistle. It’s raining and grey but I always feel like weddings are so much bigger than the weather. Two beautiful people are today committing themselves to each other, for life. Their friends and family will witness it all, smiling, laughing, drinking champagne, we’ll all eat cake, dance and celebrate. Really then, who cares if it rains?

  • A WEDDING MAGAZINE FEATURE

    It’s Tara & Lawrence’s anniversary this month; what nicer way to celebrate than their wedding in print! I like that they used this picture of their balloons, which I brought along for Tara as a gift that morning.

    Thanks Wedding magazine for a very cool feature!

  • ONWARDS & UPWARDS…

    Over the past four years, I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with my brilliant and beautiful friend Emma Jane. We’ve photographed the vast majority of our weddings alone but have also been able to work together on huge weddings in London, at a medieval French castle and out in the Somerset countryside. It’s been so fantastic having someone help me tame the loveable beast that is Caught the Light and also, to see her weddings and talent take her to Germany, France, Italy and Spain along with countless corners of our very own England.

    Alas, the time had come to distinguish ourselves as two individual photographers a little more clearly. So, as one door closes, another swings wide open… Em is now married to her devilishly handsome actor and with a new year come new websites for us both. She is still an exceptional choice for your wedding photography and if when you enquire I am already booked, she’ll still be my number one girl. Having photographed my wedding five years ago, I couldn’t ever recommend another more highly.

    You can keep up with her weddings over on her Facebook page, sneak a look at what goes on behind the scenes over on her instagram account and read her 140-character thoughts over on twitter. There’s her blog for all of the latest and lastly if you might like to have her photograph your wedding, then I honestly don’t know what you’re waiting for.

    Finally, to you Mrs Sekhon, tusen tack for being so wonderful over the whirlwind of the past few years. I can’t wait to see what this exciting new chapter brings. Ever onwards and upwards!

  • ALEXANDRA & NICHOLAS’ FRENCH WEDDING

    A day of smiles, excitement and laughter, two promises to hold fast and a happily ever after. Alex & Nic, their beautiful families, my cameras and I and their friends from overseas. We all came together for a most emotional day, we watched and we clapped, we sang and we swayed. It felt like a film, the band played J’ysuis Jamais Allé and it became the soundtrack to a most incredible day…
