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.

    It’s Tara & Lawrence’s anniversary this month; what nicer way to celebrate than their wedding in print! I like that they used this picture of their balloons, which I brought along for Tara as a gift that morning.

    Thanks Wedding magazine for a very cool feature!

  • 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.

Shooting their photobooth was such fun, both Bill and Rae were so lovely and I wish them both all the best in their future together. Bet they’re blown away by their images :-)
