What a year it has been, full of joy and of laughter, a number of weddings, a few happily ever afters, some sunshine, some airports, some beautiful times, some singing, some dancing with champagne and wine, three hundred and sixty five days I have seen, a thank you to you, here’s to 2013…
Aside from the weddings, there’s been time to just be, to dust off the Contax and to take photos for me…
What a great year it was and how happy I’ve been, here’s hoping it’s even better, in 2014.
The year that has passed was a year to remember with twenty-four weddings from March til December, sunshine and rain clouds, the occasional cold, the making of new friends and reuniting with old. The hours on motorways and too-early flights, Greek island adventures, eating cake at midnight, the love & the promises, all the things I have seen, so here is a little of my twenty fifteen…

In the summertime, when we still had lots of sunshine, Tiffany & Albert flew to London for a holiday and got in touch for a portrait session. I suggested we take their photos in Richmond and so we had a chilled out afternoon walking along the river all the way down to Petersham and back. Two perfect strangers even invited us into their beautiful house overlooking the river, to make use of their balcony. It was a calm, sweet afternoon.
On a warm sunny day when the sky is blue, London is just perfect for portraits. Avril & Mark suggested staying local for their pre-wedding photos and so we wandered around Maida Vale & Little Venice. Avril turned heads, I took pictures and Mark made us laugh. Everyone had a lovely morning in the sunshine.
A day spent in Greenwich, at the Old Naval college, celebrating with their family and friends. The Painted Hall saw it all, from the vows to the ball and we all looked around in sheer awe.
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.
Jing & Bai are a truly unique couple. From the moment we met, I loved their style and individuality, Jing’s cheeky eyes and Bai’s sense of calm. I was honoured to photograph their intimate London wedding, which they shared together with twenty friends. At our first meeting, Bai told me that he liked tilt-shift photography, so I bought a tilt-shift lens to use at their wedding. It’s a tiny little bit magic.
A very pretty year indeed. Beautiful work so full of smiles. Happy New Year to you!
Cannot wait for you to photograph our wedding if these are anything to go by!
