AN ASYLUM PECKHAM WEDDING

A wedding at the Asylum filled with character and life where two individuals become husband and wife. A bride named Africa and her very handsome groom, gather all of their favourite people in a vast and meaningful room. They stand and they vow to honour and hold close, witnessed by all of the people whom they love the most. And so there are kisses and champagne celebrations, on this wonderful day full of life & jubilation.

 

I had been desperate to photograph a wedding at the Asylum for the longest while, so when my friend Africa got in touch to enquire, I couldn’t have been more thrilled – not only to be photographing her beautiful face and family but also to be able to photograph a wedding in such a cool and unusual space. Their wedding has also been featured in the brilliant You & Your Wedding’s March & April 2017 issue, here below. Thank you team You & Your Wedding for featuring Africa before her wedding day and too for this lovely write-up of their wedding celebration.

 


 

 

This weekend sees the beginning of my 2017 weddings, starting at the lovely Islington Town Hall who are always so gracious to photographers, trusting us to work with discretion but without restriction, which is what we do best. I’m so looking forward to this spring and summer’s weddings and some warmth on these old winter bones. Up next, we’re going to central London for a Dartmouth House wedding for a gorgeous bride and groom and then perhaps to Aix-en-Provence for another al fresco celebration and some Vera Wang… There’s a lot of catching up to do!

  • AN ODE TO 2012

    Sometimes when life gets busy, it’s easy to forget, the people and the places, the dusks and the sunsets. Those days through the year when you felt your heart beat, huge smiles from new people you were quite lucky to meet. Be still for a moment, just sit and recall, reflect on the absolute beauty of it all. Life is quite frantic and at times it’s quite sad, but these are the memories that make our souls glad.

    This year I’ve been invited on a number of days, with camera in hand and finger ablaze, to witness small fragments of love and sheer bliss, a sum of thirty-eight weddings and they looked a lot like this…

  • A NONSUCH MANSION WEDDING

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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 HEMPEL HOTEL WEDDING

    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.
