AN INTIMATE CAPE TOWN WEDDING

I met Sanchia three years ago, working as a hairdresser in Camden. She was the first hairdresser to tell me that my thick and unruly hair was actually beautiful and instantly, we were friends. Together, Sanchia & Richard are a truly fantastic couple; large-hearted, vivacious and very, very stylish, so I was privileged to photograph their intimate garden ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa whilst there on holiday last month.

This is Oupa-he’s 93 years old, survived world war II and
the entire family adores him.

Thank you Sanch & Rich for a beautiful time in Cape Town. I love you both.

  • A FRENCH RIVIERA WEDDING

    A beautiful weekend on the French Riviera, in the mountainside village of Eze, a couple in love stand beaming and blushing, amidst their families and all of their friends. We dined and we cheered, Nouvelle Vague filled the air and a bride shone her smile cheek to cheek. The sky stretched proud over St Jean Cap Ferrat, three shades of blue I could see, champagne was drunk and kisses exchanged as the sun set slowly in the sea…

    A quick sneak of L&G’s wedding on Saturday at the ever-so-London Haymarket Hotel. I had to steal them outside and away from the crowd for a couple of minutes, before they got hauled back inside for the party!

  • A WALK AROUND PARIS

    I was so excited to have been recommended by the most incredible photographer Michele M Waite, to photograph Jamie & Steven whilst honeymooning in Paris. Steven is a wedding-planning, dress-designing, cake-making, husband extraordinaire and Jamie is quite possibly the prettiest, sweetiest and most charming lady you could ever hope to meet. We walked around town drinking coffee, buying sweets and taking photos. This really is my job, but it certainly doesn’t feel like work when you’re photographing these two in your very favourite city.

  • RECENT MAGAZINE FEATURES

    The May & June issue of You & Your Wedding magazine is very exciting as it features quite a few of my photos, both weddings and portraits.

    I got to meet the magazine’s new editor Maxine Briggs and spent a little while photographing her around her office. She’s very lovely and will no doubt do a tremendous job in heading up one of our favourite titles.

    I was also asked to photograph Peta who has the enviable title of editor-at-large and her very stylish fashion assistant, Alison.

    It’s always lovely for my clients to have something else to hold onto after the wedding and Clare & Rich’s Cotswolds wedding was an absolute detail-fest, just perfect for You & Your Wedding. Their beautiful wedding will be blogged soon, I promise!

  5. Thanks everyone-it was such a beautiful afternoon. I have always been a bit too soft on the inside, but I actually welled-up quite a bit editing this one. Such beautiful families take quite beautiful photos if I say so myself.

  6. Those shots of Oupa are gorgeous – I really want to meet him! This wedding has a lovely feel and you captured it beautifully. If I ever have an anniversary bbq, not only will you be there drinking champers, but I'll be sneakily getting you to photograph EVERYTHING!!

  7. What a great evening it was and looking at these beautiful images has brought back some great memories, especially the dancing! Has anyone heard of Steve Hofmeyr?

  8. What a cute couple! I am sure they are thrilled with these photos!
