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.

Thank you both for having me, for letting me get to know you both a little, for the drinks at your local and the coffee on Charlotte Street. You are exceptional individuals and it was a most fantastic day spent with you both, your Mod friends and your lovely little families.

I have another two weddings left to blog from 2011 and a portrait session in Paris to share before it’s full steam ahead on blogging this year’s weddings so far, including a very beautiful affair at the ever classy One Marylebone. It’s been a busy six months, but we’re certainly not complaining.

  • A YOU & YOUR WEDDING FEATURE

    I am always thrilled to see my work in magazines and doubly excited when the bride is as excitable as the very lovely Jo. The Scoones had a very colourful summer wedding in Kent last year and it was an absolute treat to photograph.

    You can see their feature in the latest copy of You & Your Wedding, January/February. What a brilliant start to the year for us both!

    I am very lucky to have had some incredible support from magazines such as the British Journal of Photography, You & Your Wedding, Cosmopolitan Bride and Wedding magazine over the past twelve months. I’m also very grateful to some truly beautiful blogs too; Once Wed, Style Me Pretty & here on our very own Great British Isles, Rock N Roll Bride, Before the Big Day, Belle Amour & Love My Dress have all been very lovely to me too.

    I have another thirteen weddings to blog from last year, alongside a couple of engagement sessions too. I do so love this quieter time of year; spending lots of time talking to my summer brides, booking flights for foreign weddings and wandering around town taking portraits.

    My next wedding isn’t until March, in the very beautiful Stockholm; one of my favourite cities in the world, where absolutely everyone is beautiful. It’s absolutely true and I’ll prove it!

  • A BUSY THREE WEEKS

    Here’s a sneak of what I’ve been doing over the past twenty-one days.

    Some portraits in Paris…

    Back to London for some pre-wedding photos on Columbia Road…

    A walk along the river after a wedding at St Paul’s…

    And a weekend in Portugal.

    It’s been a very busy three weeks, but the next two are a little calmer with portraits and engagements and a lot of editing to do, before a wedding very close to my heart. I’m also going to be photographing this little beauty, our very own London Bride.

  • A PRETTY RICHMOND ENGAGEMENT

    I met Philippa and James a few months ago, to talk about their wedding in July. For their engagement session, they took me to the beautiful hidden gem that is Petersham Nurseries in Richmond and waited patiently for me to calm down and refocus on them-there were so many pretty things to look at!

    I cannot wait for their wedding next month-with all the details and ideas they have planned, it is guaranteed to be amazing.

  • A RUFFLED BLOG FEATURE

    I knew I would love Alex & Chris when we first spoke on the phone early last year. They’re designers and run their own studio, We Three Club, so I was very excited to see how much of their personalities they would bring to their wedding and when Alex told me she’d be wearing a vintage dress, I was in. They booked me right there and then on the phone without even needing to meet me, which for me is always a huge compliment. She also totally out-quiffed me with her gorgeous hair, scoring an easy 10/10 in the style stakes.

  • 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.

  • 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.
