A WEDDING AT ST PAULS

Rae is the kind of person who makes you laugh with one sly look and she found her perfect match in Bill. They live in New York, but chose to get married in London at The Crypt in St Paul’s Cathedral as Bill’s lovely mum has an MBE, which is like a VIP pass for St Paul’s. I am so glad to have met them both and to have shared in their wedding day. It was grey and windy, but to me they proved that it doesn’t matter one tiny bit. They were getting married and that’s all that really counts, right?

You’re not really allowed to take photos after this point, but if you’re really very nice and a little bit wily, you can just about sneak in a couple of frames before an eyebrow gets raised.

The ever-lovely Penny at Tiger Lily Weddings worked exceptionally hard on this wedding to make sure that everything looked beautiful and ran like clockwork. We love Penny a lot.

Emma Jane & I both photographed this wedding as a joint labour of love. It’s so nice having her alongside me on bigger weddings and I’m not sure you could tell our work apart, could you? She’s like my sexier Swedish twin.

This week has been full of delivering wedding edits, exciting new bookings for 2012 and a little bit of time for reflection too. I’m heading to Italy on Thursday and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to photograph a wedding in Rome on Saturday. I haven’t been back since I moved home to London three years ago to marry that husband of mine. I can’t wait to wander those cobbles and go back to La Scala and Gusto, my very favourite restaurants.

I also have a portrait session on Friday for a special Romana very close to my heart. It’s going to be an excellent weekend.

  • A JUBILANT JUNE

    The middle of the year is always the best, bare legs with picnics on the heath for a rest. A trip to Tuscany to spend time with these two, as they wed at an altar with a beautiful view. Two more pretty weddings, so much light and good cheer and the sun setting late at this time of year. Twelve months more marriage tucked under our belt, we wrap presents, write cards to pen things that we’ve felt. Sometimes we party with our family and friends or travel to an island where the sea never ends. This year we did both and we found a new home, London bricks & mortar to call our very own. A jubiliant June it really has been, an excellent first half of my twenty fourteen.

    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.

  • AN ENGLISH COUNTRY WEDDING

    One afternoon with sunshine, a day in late May, I drove all the way to Sussex to photograph a wedding day. Ollie & Mels declared their union be one, so we all came together and smiled in unison. Some words were exchanged, hands were squeezed in delight, it really was so beautiful to watch these two unite.  Two families together and a plethora of friends, a party for two people and a dance at the end…

  • A ONE MARYLEBONE LONDON WEDDING

    A handsome Brit and his American beauty on a Saturday in June last year, arrived at One Marylebone with friends and with families, said vows, gave speeches and cheered. The rain came to a holt, light streamed through the room, it really was a most beautiful sight. I saw and took photos, two cameras full of moments and they danced as I bid them goodnight.

  • A FLORAL CROWNED QUEEN

    I often fall a little bit in love with my brides and find it quite hard to detach myself from what is for most, a day full of emotion. This wedding at the family farm, was no exception. Tori & Oli are the personification of what it means to love and be loved and never have I seen people so utterly adored by their friends and family. I hope these photos go some way in showing a snippet of just what a beautiful day of colour and happiness it was.
