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 was really thrilled to have been asked to contribute some advice to You & Your Wedding’s photography special and especially honoured to see that my thoughts were sat alongside some very highly esteemed UK photographers too.
Wedding photography is obviously hugely important to me, but whether I’m photographing your wedding or not, I still want you to have beautiful photos. Those are heirlooms you’ll frame and hang and share, so they should be beautiful. Over the past 50 weddings, I’ve learnt that every single wedding is different, but having guidelines to work with for your photos certainly helps. The article covers all sorts of aspects like deciding on a style, choosing your photographer, allocating a budget and most importantly, timings. Pick up a copy of the most recent You & Your Wedding for some invaluable advice.
I’m heading to Edinburgh at the end of the week, for a very lovely country wedding at Lennoxlove House. I returned home from Crete this morning fresh off an Easyjet red-eye, to a huge mountain of editing and emailing but it’s always so good to be home.
One day in Covent Garden, I met a couple quite head over heels. We spoke about their wedding, shook hands and agreed a deal. I would travel out to France for them and photograph their wedding, and they would smile and laugh all day, show me their happy ending. To Provence I went, excited, with those lovely Lavender & Rose girls, so I hope you can see what a perfect day it was, as their beautiful story unfurls.
A little while later in between some time on the beach, Melanie & Duncan held their wedding in Bangalow, surrounded by their nearest and dearest. The Valiant was there and so were we and it was truly lovely.
An Italian wedding in a medieval village, friends and family from all over the world, four bridesmaids, a best woman and a beautiful mermaid dress. Mark & Avril got married in Tuscany in late summer last year and it was nothing short of bellissima.
On a Wednesday in late summer, when the sky was grey then blue, Tim & Phammy planned a party, and from Aus to France they flew. Chairs were set in the garden, friends and crates of local wine, with his best suit and her new dress all pressed and looking fine. The sun came out as they said their vows, the birds in the trees began to sing, they held hands and smiling at each other, sealed their promises with two rings.
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.
