A SIMPLE LONDON WEDDING

A simple city wedding held at London’s Chandos House, a lot of excited smiling, a wife and her new spouse. A day overflowing with heartfelt declarations, late summer in London and a wonderful celebration.

Wedding venue: Chandos House, London

I photographed this beautiful celebration a few years ago and I distinctly remember Natalie’s energy and excitement. Happy, relaxed and just full to the brim with love for her new husband and every single member of her family, immediate and new. When I think of my most favourite weddings, it’s always the couples who just let go and enjoy themselves on their wedding day. The ones who know what it’s all about. A commitment to the one you love, a party with your nearest and dearest and cake. Always cake.

A lot has happened since I last blogged. I had a baby, fell head-over-heels in love, have remained there in a state of awe-struck wonder at this large-headed, round-bellied beautiful, beautiful miracle, traversed weeks then months of sleep-deprived delirium, emerging out the other side six months later, held together with coffee and concealer. We found our stride with the sunshine around spring, long before summer when I returned to work with the help of my incredible husband, travelling around France and England, photographing weddings and portraits, revisiting that feeling of immense privilege a wedding brings and the backstage pass that is being behind the scenes of one of the most memorable days of a person’s life.

  • ALBUMS & HEIRLOOMS

    I try to be a wedding photographer that I myself would like to have had, so when I put together packages I take into consideration what creative brides may like and what they might like to organise themselves. I provide high-resolution images on memory sticks to all of my couples, so they’re able to print and share their photos as they wish, with the option to order custom-designed albums if they would like them too.photographer wedding albums 

    After much hunting and sampling, I finally came across a book company whose product I loved and whose service was unrivalled. They allow me complete flexibility in album design and provide a simply beautiful, matte and digitally-printed album on fine art paper, with a really beautiful texture. Apart from your husband or wife, there really isn’t a better keepsake from your wedding day – a bound heirloom for you to cherish in the many years to come.

  • A LONDON MOD WEDDING

    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.

  • 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 IN ZURICH

    I am very lucky to be able to photograph weddings such as these. Sweet, intimate and so full of love and smiles. It also happened to be in Zürich, a city I had not visited until July. I think I’m in love with Switzerland.

    Getting ready together, they were both the picture of calm…

    …with a little edge of excitement.

    Swiss civil ceremonies last just fifteen minutes, even when in French and English, which leaves plenty of time for tea and sightseeing on vintage trams…

    There is something so special about grandparents. This lady reminded me of my own grandma and squeezed my hand and beamed when she caught my eye. She also had the cutest granddaughter who was not in the least bit fatigued by the blazing sunshine.

    Thanh has a passion for all things culinary and gave everyone tiny kitchen utensils as gifts.

    Isn’t she just the sweetest little thing?

    After our trip to Switzerland, we’ve decided that one day we’ll move to Zürich and have lunch by the lake on Sundays with our new friends Thanh & Yvan. It’s a truly beautiful place; fresh and clean and content.

    I still have a lot of editing to catch up on and a few more weddings and portraits to do before the year is out. I’m quite sad to see the autumn leaves on the ground but glad to have time to catch up on things through winter. It’s been a year of big changes, exciting challenges and huge rewards, but there’s a little more on all of that later.

  • A ONCE WED FEATURE

    I had both the lovely Emily at Once Wed and the incredibly cool Kat at RockNRollBride both write beautiful features on my most recent wedding. I will admit that I thought this would be a popular one when I spoke to Ella about Sam’s suit and pried some details from her about that dress. I didn’t know though, that she was going to look as amazing as she did, nor that there would be a surprise song during the wedding…

    It’s always excellent when I have my work featured, but to have a double post between the US and the UK was really exciting. I know a lot of my ideal brides look to Once Wed for inspiration, as do I as a photographer, so it’s been great to organise meets with a whole new audience. I have an exceptionally busy next few weeks on my hands!

    If you missed Ella & Sam’s posts online, you can still catch up with Once Wed and RockNRoll Bride too.
    Thank you both, for your beautiful posts.

  • A FRENCH GARDEN WEDDING

    On a Wednesday in late summer, when the sky was grey then blue, Tim & Phammy planned a party, and from Aus to France they flew. Chairs were set in the garden, friends and crates of local wine, with his best suit and her new dress all pressed and looking fine. The sun came out as they said their vows, the birds in the trees began to sing, they held hands and smiling at each other, sealed their promises with two rings.
