When you get a rare Saturday off, you better spend it well.
I scored myself a golden ticket to Matt Corby’s first secret garden gig in England and took my cameras along with our picnic. Sunshine, showers & singing under a London sky.
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…
One week in April, we escaped to blue skies, a trip with no emails, just my husband and I. Some Arabic was learnt, pronunciation attempted, some photos were taken and our pockets were emptied. We ate and we wandered, for a few days we stayed, we were still for a moment and these memories we made.
It’s lunchtime in London and it’s raining and grey, so I am dreaming of an evening in Crete, where we had dinner with the sunset and the shore.
It’s times like these that I am so thankful that I get to take photos for a living, meet beautifully unique people every week and have the opportunity to share one of the most memorable days of their lives with them. I’ll take all the grey and rainy days in the world for that.
Tomorrow, I get to photograph a three-day wedding in beautifully quaint Hurley and I’ve been looking forward to it all week!
I am always enamoured with nights like this one.
An evening at home with my husband, in our little London flat, sat outside under the heater on the terrace, listening to our neighbour’s winter concert, with a bottle of Oyster Bay. Feeling alive and truly grateful for life and love, forever surprised at how sweet London can be.
It’s been a phenomenal start to the year. I am already overwhelmed by what’s in store, but overwhelmed in the best way possible.
i am also trying to specialize in natural light photography. i love your work! any suggestions?
Thank you! I am sure there are others much more experienced than myself out there, but I'd recommend investing in some fast lenses and learning how to use your available ambient light too. I think it's important to have your own style, so learn what you like and do it well.
Thanks! Oh WOW! I love the tones on these and how quaint…
Not quite the NYC backdrop I have on my way to the store. I really love your work; so glad I found your blog across the seas.
Hampstead looks absolutely beautiful in this light. I can almost smell the crepes dripping with lemon juice and sugar! [www.hampsteadcreperie.com]
Your photos are truly beautiful, the way you have made the colours stand out so well is genius. Your experience in photography is really visible in your shots. The photos of food really makes me want to eat them, they look delicious. Very impressive website.
What beautiful photos. Every single one of them. I felt as if I was there walking the lovely streets of Hampstead, feeling the warm rays of winter sunshine on my cheeks, as if I could smell the cupcakes and almost could feel the heat a lovely cup of tea in my hands. And the light, oh my, you are so good. Do you give lessons by any chance?
Serena, che belle cose a dire!
Perhaps you should start a blog for all of us left behind in England? Somehow, I don't think you'll be needing lessons at all in Italy, dove tutto é bello.
HEAVENLY!!!!!!
