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…

    This is the story of Mark & Paula’s wedding day. They are True Mods, beautiful individuals, cool, calm, cat-loving people… the types you want to spend your Friday nights at the pub with. They got married last October in Islington & I got myself a backstage pass.

  • RECENT MAGAZINE FEATURES

    The May & June issue of You & Your Wedding magazine is very exciting as it features quite a few of my photos, both weddings and portraits.

    I got to meet the magazine’s new editor Maxine Briggs and spent a little while photographing her around her office. She’s very lovely and will no doubt do a tremendous job in heading up one of our favourite titles.

    I was also asked to photograph Peta who has the enviable title of editor-at-large and her very stylish fashion assistant, Alison.

    It’s always lovely for my clients to have something else to hold onto after the wedding and Clare & Rich’s Cotswolds wedding was an absolute detail-fest, just perfect for You & Your Wedding. Their beautiful wedding will be blogged soon, I promise!

  • A FLORAL CROWNED QUEEN

    I often fall a little bit in love with my brides and find it quite hard to detach myself from what is for most, a day full of emotion. This wedding at the family farm, was no exception. Tori & Oli are the personification of what it means to love and be loved and never have I seen people so utterly adored by their friends and family. I hope these photos go some way in showing a snippet of just what a beautiful day of colour and happiness it was.

  • A HUMANIST WEDDING

    A wedding in September, in a field beneath a tree, a couple stands amongst their friends, and vow into the breeze. To love one another and to cherish, to have and to hold forever tight, the band sings stay with me, I’ll stay with you, and we’re warmed by the sunlight.

    A more perfect day I could never have dreamt, so I framed these memories, of that late summer day, of Matt and of Jess, and their glorious, humanist ceremony.
