A FRENCH RIVIERA BEACH WEDDING

It was a dream to photograph a wedding on the Cote d’azur and I was so lucky to have met these two lovelies and to have shared a very beautiful weekend with all of their important people. Elegant, sophisticated, a day full of friends and laughter, Miki and Tom held their wedding on the French riviera at L’Ecrin beach restaurant in Cannes. I think you’ll agree, it was a little bit gorgeous.


Thank you so much guys, for having me along to your wedding weekend. I think the world of you both and loved every minute spent photographing your wedding celebrations and getting to know your eccentric families, it was one of the more memorable moments of 2011! Thank you as ever to the impeccable Kerry Bracken, whose hard work planning and co-ordinating this wedding was not overlooked.

This weekend is a quiet one, with an intimate party of twelve for our first London wedding of the year in Marylebone and Mayfair. After a little time away travelling, it’s always lovely to be back curled cosy on our own sofas, at home in London again.

  • THE PERFECT ELOPEMENT

    I often get asked what my best ever wedding was to photograph. I think people expect me to say ‘the one at Westminster Abbey’ or ‘the little one in Italy’, when really my most favourite weddings, however cliché, are the ones that are all about love. Venues are chic and expensive dresses are beautiful, but give me a couple happy and in love and I couldn’t ask for anything more. These two individuals decided to elope. They chose a place where they could exchange their vows and spend the weekend, calm and content. They chose their outfits, the day for their promises and then they chose me. I really couldn’t be more grateful sharing days like these.

  • A UNION CLUB SOHO WEDDING

    One day in October, in the centre of town, Amy & Duncan got ready, arrived and said vows. Before friends and their family, their loved ones and mates, they made a promise of union and an unending date. They kissed and we clapped, a tear may have been shed, they drank and they laughed, as do newlyweds. An evening of celebration and of wishing them well, my hundred or so favourites, their short story they tell.

  • 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.

  • ALBUMS & HEIRLOOMS

    I try to be a wedding photographer that I myself would like to have had, so when I put together packages I take into consideration what creative brides may like and what they might like to organise themselves. I provide high-resolution images on memory sticks to all of my couples, so they’re able to print and share their photos as they wish, with the option to order custom-designed albums if they would like them too.photographer wedding albums 

    After much hunting and sampling, I finally came across a book company whose product I loved and whose service was unrivalled. They allow me complete flexibility in album design and provide a simply beautiful, matte and digitally-printed album on fine art paper, with a really beautiful texture. Apart from your husband or wife, there really isn’t a better keepsake from your wedding day – a bound heirloom for you to cherish in the many years to come.

  • THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY

    Mary and I first met at an event organised for wedding professionals to meet and get to know their colleagues and she had on the best hat I’d ever seen. When she asked me for a portrait session, I hoped she’d be wearing another brilliant hat. We met at a sweet little cafe for coffee and a chat and I even got to meet the charming, Samson.

    I do love this kind of portraiture and if you think you would benefit from some casual photos like these for your business or even just because, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I have some autumnal portraits to do in the upcoming weeks, but there is room for one or two more.

    I know I said something about a beautiful Swiss wedding and it is absolutely coming, I promise. I just have to get through a wedding tomorrow in Dorset and finish an edit on Sunday and then it’s up. There’s still so much editing to be done before my winter hibernation!

  • A PRETTY RICHMOND ENGAGEMENT

    I met Philippa and James a few months ago, to talk about their wedding in July.

  4. A little bit, more like a LOT gorgeous. I love everything about this!

  6. What a location, what a couple. I love the look on their faces as they walk down the aisle, it’s a true *we really did it*. Also love the cheeky glances by the guests as well as how you always document everything with such a beautiful calm, ease.

  9. Well this is just a dream wedding to photograph. I adore the prep shots especially the black and white portrait while Miki is getting in her dress. Wonderful as ever. x

  10. Is she Eddie’s daughter?! Stunning, as always. I think we all dream of shooting a wedding on a boat in the south of France, you jammy cow ;)

  13. Gorgeous photographs, you have captured all the important moments and all the important detail of the day. Beautiful light, beautiful colours.
