A WEDDING IN PORTUGAL

Jess & Ludge got married in April this year in Lourinha, Portugal and I was so grateful to have been there. Friends and family flew from Sydney, London and Paris to celebrate and it made for a beautiful reunion.

The evening before, everyone met up for a chat and a catch up, this time in a tiny old village. We stood outside in the street, laughing and talking whilst the sun set and the bar next door sold glasses of wine for 30¢. This is the tiny village that Ludgero grew up in.


Early the next morning, I headed out to photograph Jess getting ready with her mum, in a lovely bright hotel room. My favourite.

It really was a lovely day and I think you’ll agree that they’re very much in love. If you missed their pre-wedding photos in Paris, you can see them right here. and if you were a guest and would like to see more, you can request access to their full gallery, here.

I thought it was about time I got started blogging what we’ve been up to lately and thinking back, since this wedding in April, I’ve photographed a total of nine weddings in beautiful places. We always love our London weddings but we also like to travel and so far we’ve been to Stockholm, Provence, Cannes, Crete and Edinburgh and loved each and every single trip.  There are a couple of gorgeous weddings from Emma Jane to share too. She’s been to Mallorca, Bordeaux and even photographed a wedding here in a zoo. It’s true.

I’m gearing up for a wedding in Mallorca this weekend and it’s full steam ahead until then. These wedding photos don’t edit themselves, you know.

    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 CHATEAU GRIMALDI WEDDING

    At this beautiful late-summer wedding in Provence, the sun shone bright and bold and friends by the dozen flew all the way to France, to witness C & D’s vows be told. We clapped and we cheered and the mothers smiled wide, and everyone sipped champagne before supper outside…

  • A CRETE ISLAND WEDDING

    Earlier on this year whilst on holiday in California, I travelled home via San Francisco for a meeting with these two. Nancy works with textiles and has an incredible eye for design and all things beautiful and when you talk to her, she gives you the impression of always being on the verge of bursting into laughter. Chic, cheeky & in my eyes, utterly amazing.

    I was so happy to have met them both before their wedding in Crete in June this year but even happier that the next place we met, was the night before their wedding, with all of their guests, for dinner by the sea…
