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.
I am so thankful for these recent features in Brides and You & Your Wedding magazines. I love that these will be something for the grandchildren to pour over in the years to come… Brides current issue features the spectacularly chic French chateau wedding of Daniel & Catherine
I am thrilled to have had a few very lovely features in some of our best British bridal magazines over the past couple of months.
You & Your Wedding’s current September/October issue features the beautiful Matt & Jess whose wedding at The House Meadow I photographed last September. Their outdoor humanist wedding was picture perfect.
Sometimes when life gets busy, it’s easy to forget, the people and the places, the dusks and the sunsets. Those days through the year when you felt your heart beat, huge smiles from new people you were quite lucky to meet. Be still for a moment, just sit and recall, reflect on the absolute beauty of it all. Life is quite frantic and at times it’s quite sad, but these are the memories that make our souls glad.
This year I’ve been invited on a number of days, with camera in hand and finger ablaze, to witness small fragments of love and sheer bliss, a sum of thirty-eight weddings and they looked a lot like this…
A quiet afternoon one Monday in spring, a wedding in Hampstead, two lovebirds and a ring. At Burgh House we gathered, on a most notable date, Gary arrived early and Clarisa was not late. They stood before friends and promised their hearts, we clapped and we grinned, we all felt a part. That beautiful day, a mole & his wife, a perfect beginning to their new married life.
Megan & Nathan got married on a sweet, still day in May. I started the morning with Megan at the Haymarket Hotel where she was getting ready with a pretty little entourage of glamorous friends and family.

Thank you Meg & Nate, for inviting us as guests and for having me photograph your lovely wedding.
In the five weeks since I last blogged, I have photographed four weddings in London, a wedding in Tuscany and a wedding in Rome atop a castle. I’ve been to the south of France, fallen in love with St Tropez, photographed an intimate elopement, flown back to Tuscany to photograph another sweet little wedding, and spent two glorious days in the unexpected London sunshine with a wedding at Northbook Park and a very first True Mod wedding.
We’ll be making up for lost time next week with a glamorous wedding in Provence, full of sunshine, smiles and our ever-gorgeous Georgia.
Laura & Andy were one of my very first bookings at the beginning of the year and I knew immediately that we’d get on really well. They’re both into swing dance and wanted something individual for their wedding day, so they chose to get married at Nonsuch Mansion, which is a truly beautiful Surrey venue, if you happen to be looking for one.
I had such a great day with Laura & Andy and their cool bridesmaids, I came away having made some great new friends, with a new addicition to her Frock N Roll Vintage blog. The staff at Nonsuch Mansion are fantastic too. I was served a hot three-course meal and a whole bottle of wine (which being the consummate professional, I didn’t touch!) It was possibly the best venue that I’ve had the pleasure of working at, all year.
This wedding was also featured on Kat’s ever-inspiring blog, Rock N Roll Bride today, so head on over to read a little more about Laura & Andy’s planning and inspiration.
Beautiful shots (as always!). Petersham Nurseries looks so interesting, no wonder you were slightly distracted!
I love the shots in the field. Gorgeous light. Looking forward to the wedding shots!
I love her maxi! Cute couple and a nice few locations too nicely captured.
LOVE the shot of the couple sitting in the long grass, its so beautiful!
If you ever get chance have lunch there, it's AMAZING food!
It was such a great place for an engagement session-really unusual and just so, so cool. It helps when you have gorgeous couples too of course!
I love them sat on the bench looking at the camera. It's like something out of Vanity Fair.
