AN ENGLISH COUNTRY WEDDING

One afternoon with sunshine, a day in late May, I drove all the way to Sussex to photograph a wedding day. Ollie & Mels declared their union be one, so we all came together and smiled in unison. Some words were exchanged, hands were squeezed in delight, it really was so beautiful to watch these two unite.  Two families together and a plethora of friends, a party for two people and a dance at the end…

We are returning to the much neglected blog now that our editing is back on track and we’re only buried under album designs and print orders. This time of year is always a calmer one although we’re not quite finished up for the year just yet. I have another two weddings to go before 2013 in pretty Richmond and the beautiful English countryside.

  • 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!

    I am hugely honoured and incredibly flattered to have been included in Martha Stewart Weddings’ Top Wedding Photographers list! It’s an accolade I would never have dreamt of, but thanks to the exceptionally generous team at Martha Stewart Weddings (I’m looking at you ladies, Shira & Darcy) I find myself unbelievably listed among my inspirations…

  • 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.

  • 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.
