A GOODWOOD HOUSE WEDDING

An elegant winter wedding at the quintessentially English Goodwood House

Venue: Goodwood House // Dress: Raimon Bundo at Mirror Mirror // Bridesmaid’s dress: Two Birds // Groom’s suit: Cad & The Dandy // Floral Design: Spriggs Florist //

I had the pleasure of photographing L’s sister’s wedding near St Tropez a few years ago. L wore a beautiful Vivienne Westwood design which I immediately recognised and naturally began to covet and so a bond was struck. A few years later we were accidental north London neighbours and I was thrilled when L&M got in touch to enquire about their wedding at Goodwood House. It’s not often that you have sunshine on an English winter’s day but L&M’s beautiful early November wedding at Goodwood was timed to perfection in this incredibly sophisticated setting. If you’re planning a spring, summer, autumn or winter wedding, I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

This week is a busy one with a trip to Annecy tomorrow via Geneva for a portrait session and back for a day’s editing before an early start to Nice for a wedding at the Villa Ephrussi du Rothschild. I have been so desperate to photograph a wedding there for years and it looks like my virtuous patience has finally paid off!

I’m dashing back home on Saturday morning to celebrate seven whole years of marriage to my most favourite person on earth. Where do the years go? It will be a decade together at the end of summer and I can’t imagine what life would sound like without him.

Up next, a pretty London wedding at Dartmouth House. Think September sunshine and mile-wide smiles.

A NOTE TO YOU, WINTER

When it’s cold and it’s cloudy and the sun sets in the day, and it’s too dark too early and snow’s on it’s way, you declare you hate winter and you’ll move to warmer climes and spend the rest of your days living in summertime… and then there are these two and they marry in London town and the sun makes it’s debut just before it’s heading down, and suddenly everything is really quite fine and you decide to wait it out until that Great British springtime.

I have quite a love-hate relationship with winter, which mostly lies heavily on the hate side of things. The cold and the frost and the dusting off the faux fur and the boots and the heater and the dark at 3pm… and then just when you think you’ve had enough, there are daffodils and afternoon rays and that one sunny morning where you got your freckles back.

I’m photographing my first spring wedding of the year this afternoon and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve taken a few weeks out lately to spend time with my family and have also squeezed in time for a few film family portrait sessions, with a little help from my new best friends at UK Film Lab. I’ve also had time to catch up on all the things I leave til winter, like kissing friends’ brand new babies and reading Vanity Fair… Maybe winter isn’t quite as bad as I like to make out.
MATT CORBY’S SECRET GARDEN

When you get a rare Saturday off, you better spend it well.

I scored myself a golden ticket to Matt Corby’s first secret garden gig in England and took my cameras along with our picnic. Sunshine, showers & singing under a London sky.

A CAVENDISH SQUARE WEDDING

Megan & Nathan got married on a sweet, still day in May. I started the morning with Megan at the Haymarket Hotel where she was getting ready with a pretty little entourage of glamorous friends and family.

Thank you Meg & Nate, for inviting us as guests and for having me photograph your lovely wedding.

In the five weeks since I last blogged, I have photographed four weddings in London, a wedding in Tuscany and a wedding in Rome atop a castle. I’ve been to the south of France, fallen in love with St Tropez, photographed an intimate elopement, flown back to Tuscany to photograph another sweet little wedding, and spent two glorious days in the unexpected London sunshine with a wedding at Northbook Park and a very first True Mod wedding.

We’ll be making up for lost time next week with a glamorous wedding in Provence, full of sunshine, smiles and our ever-gorgeous Georgia.
A WEDDING AT THE VILLA EPHRUSSI DE ROTHSCHILD

Imagine you are a photographer, agape and wide-eyed, at a giant candy-floss venue, with the sun high in the sky, the guys in tuxedos, the bridesmaids and bride, two sets of parents, brimming with pride, music and laughter and breath-taking views, it felt like a dream but it actually came true…

A HAMPSHIRE WEDDING

~

Carey and James are a lovely, down-to-earth couple who got married in the first week in June. They held their reception at the very stylish Anchor Inn in the very quaint Hampshire, out in the English countryside. I have never been to such a fantastic pub in all of my life and I’m not proud to admit that I’ve visited a fair few. We had such beautiful weather that everyone was in the highest of spirits, which really made for quite the perfect day.
