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.

Venue: The beautiful House Meadow // The Dress: Frou Frou // Bridesmaids dresses: Topshop, 2011 // Celebrant: Xena of Bespoke Humanist Ceremonies // Catering: Chicks That Chop (the greatest meal I’m yet to eat at a wedding) Band: The Bonfire Band and later, The In-Laws

The hugest and most heartfelt of thank yous, to you Jess & Matt, for having me with you, crying my eyes out through your beautiful ceremony. It really was perfection.

This most gorgeous of weddings is also featured on the splendid Style Me Pretty, right here. Thank you to the ladies there too, for their very kind words and for all of your very sweet comments.

This weekend I’m off to photograph two lovely, lovely weddings. One for a couple tying the knot in their sixties at the elegant and understated, Frederick’s in Islington. Cameras at the ready, it’s going to be a beautiful weekend!

  • A WEDDING IN PROVENCE

    One day in Covent Garden, I met a couple quite head over heels. We spoke about their wedding, shook hands and agreed a deal. I would travel out to France for them and photograph their wedding, and they would smile and laugh all day, show me their happy ending. To Provence I went, excited, with those lovely Lavender & Rose girls, so I hope you can see what a perfect day it was, as their beautiful story unfurls.

    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!
