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 WEDDING AT ST PAULS

    Rae is the kind of person who makes you laugh with one sly look and she found her perfect match in Bill. They live in New York, but chose to get married in London at The Crypt in St Paul’s Cathedral as Bill’s lovely mum has an MBE, which is like a VIP pass for St Paul’s. I am so glad to have met them both and to have shared in their wedding day. It was grey and windy, but to me they proved that it doesn’t matter one tiny bit. They were getting married and that’s all that really counts, right?

  • 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.

    So, when you get a minute, have a look at the latest issue of the BJP or better still, pick up a subscription using the discount code Unveiled. It’s a beautiful monthly and they’ve just revamped the website, so it’s cleaner and more aesthetically aware than ever.

    Lastly, if you’re an aspiring or even an established wedding photographer, make sure you enter the Unveiled competition.

    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.

  • A MAUNSEL HOUSE WEDDING

    A pretty weekend in Somerset, where the sky shone down so bright. A man and a woman were dressed to be married, beneath sunshine and perfect light. Four bridesmaids, three speeches, two families, one day, these two made me smile deep inside. This is the job that I love so much, picture memories of a groom and his bride.

    It’s Tara & Lawrence’s anniversary this month; what nicer way to celebrate than their wedding in print! I like that they used this picture of their balloons, which I brought along for Tara as a gift that morning.

    Thanks Wedding magazine for a very cool feature!

I travelled back and forth to France for five of them,and I also got the chance to photograph two beautiful British weddings back home, on those rare few days of sunshine… It’s been a really busy month, so it’s been hard keeping up with blogging as well as shooting and editing, meetings and emails, but here’s a little look at what we’ve been doing.

    Nicki & John’s rather royal wedding at Ashridge…
