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!

  • 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…

  • A WEDDING AT ONE MARYLEBONE

    Kate & Tom were the first clients I met after a long flight home from Australia in January. We had a drink at The Alice House and talked for hours and I knew before I’d left, that we had become friends. Their wedding was just beautiful. Kate shone, Tom grinned, they both said I do and I cried just a little bit, from the sheer love of it all.
