A MAIDA VALE ENGAGEMENT SESSION

On a warm sunny day when the sky is blue, London is just perfect for portraits. Avril & Mark suggested staying local for their pre-wedding photos and so we wandered around Maida Vale & Little Venice. Avril turned heads, I took pictures and Mark made us laugh. Everyone had a lovely morning in the sunshine.

I can’t wait to blog their pretty September wedding in Tuscany, which means I have to get a move on blogging everything else we did up until then. Up next is a pretty little London wedding at The Globe, where in true London style, it rained and shone and made for the most beautiful skyline.

We’ve crammed this weekend with client meetings, making up for all of time off over the holidays. There really is no rest for the wicked.

  • HOW TO GET GREAT WEDDING PHOTOS

    I was really thrilled to have been asked to contribute some advice to You & Your Wedding’s photography special and especially honoured to see that my thoughts were sat alongside some very highly esteemed UK photographers too.


    Wedding photography is obviously hugely important to me, but whether I’m photographing your wedding or not, I still want you to have beautiful photos. Those are heirlooms you’ll frame and hang and share, so they should be beautiful. Over the past 50 weddings, I’ve learnt that every single wedding is different, but having guidelines to work with for your photos certainly helps. The article covers all sorts of aspects like deciding on a style, choosing your photographer, allocating a budget and most importantly, timings. Pick up a copy of the most recent You & Your Wedding for some invaluable advice.

    I’m heading to Edinburgh at the end of the week, for a very lovely country wedding at Lennoxlove House. I returned home from Crete this morning fresh off an Easyjet red-eye, to a huge mountain of editing and emailing but it’s always so good to be home.

    A laid back Australian and a sweet and pretty Brit, meet in England and fall in love. He returns home, then moves to Singapore and she soon follows. Time passes, promises are made and a ring is bought. July arrives, families travel and hands are squeezed. Hugs are shared, a husband and wife are made and Charlotte & Andrew are married in Mallorca.

  • THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY

    ~This time last week, I had just come home from a day spent at Unveiled, an event held by the British Journal of Photography in association with Wedding magazine and Hasselblad. The event was aimed at wedding photographers in the UK; those established and aspiring.

    I was thrilled to be asked by the BJP to speak about my experience in the wedding photography industry and to stand up alongside Kat of the infamous RocknRoll bride, to talk about how I began Caught the Light. I absolutely love my job and feel very passionately about natural wedding photography, believing that there’s a direct correlation between valuing your product as a photographer and loving each wedding from start-to-finish. It was a great experience for me to meet some colleagues and discuss all sorts of wedding photography things. The July issue of the BJP also features a little about me in the Intelligence section. I was interviewed to discuss a bit about how important things like this blog, Facebook & increasingly Twitter, have become to me as a photographer.

    I’m off to Switzerland in the morning, to get ready for a wedding on Saturday. It’s been a little grey here in London over the past few days, so let’s hope Zurich has a little more sunshine to offer. I’ll be able to share last month’s destination wedding next week too-a beautiful wedding in Tuscany.

    Do you remember James & Philippa’s exceptionally stylish Cotswolds wedding? Philippa poured a huge amount of time and effort into the design and styling of the day, so we were both thrilled that the ever stylish You & Your Wedding magazine wanted to feature it in their May/June issue. It even scored a two-page spread!

  • 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 TRIP TO CAPE TOWN

    A couple of months ago, we went to Cape Town, for Richard & Sanchia’s wedding and decided to make a really good holiday of it. On our first day, we rushed down to a beach bar to have cocktails in the setting sun with the very lovely Emma Norén and her handsome Ricky.

    This is my first photo taken with her beautiful Rolleiflex-there’s something sweet about taking a photographer’s photo. Emma photographed our wedding last year and for that, I adore her. We had so much organised for when we visited Cape Town, looking back at all the photos, I am amazed we fitted it all in.

    I’m now off away again for a few days, this time to Sicily to eat, sleep and take photos. Then I’m back to work on two weddings next week, in Covent Garden and the country. It’s going to be a really good week.
