A HUMANIST WEDDING IN SURREY

When you’re invited for lunch with a soon bride-to-be and she shows you her beautiful home, you  talk through her plans and quickly it feels like she’s someone you’ve always known. A captivating couple, with plans so exciting, you have an idea this might well be, a day to remember in the middle of summer, James and Marina, I salute thee.

This woodland wedding really was a highlight of my year. With all that light and a couple so in love, what more could I have asked for? This beautiful wedding is also making a debut over on the spectacular Snippet & Ink, where Marina has written a little about their day.

  • BRUNCH AT THE BASTIDE

    It’s memories like these of last summer’s weddings, that bring a smile to my face. Remembering the sunshine and smiles and feeling very grateful that my job is to photograph people enjoying themselves, laughing and joking and sharing a celebration. Miki & Tom had brunch with their friends and family at The Bastide near Cannes, France and it was rather splendid.

  • 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 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.

  • MIKI | PORTRAIT OF A BRIDE

    This here is Miki. On the day of her wedding, she got dressed on a boat and it was bright and fresh and the view was so incredible. It was at this moment that I got a little bit awestruck. Isn’t she just beautiful?

    I’m not sure that there is a better place to get ready for your wedding, than right by the sea.

    I had a 4.30am start this morning for my first ever sunrise session and I’m up again at 3am for a flight to Mallorca. I am tired and I better get packing.

  • 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.

  5. I love love love this! I am after a woodland wedding and I live in Guildford. I was wondering if there was any way I could have the location of the venue as this looks just perfect! Thank you!
