A BRIGHTON ENGAGEMENT

It is impossible not to be happy in the presence of Adam and Sophie. They are so very much in love with each other, you in turn find yourself falling a little bit in love with them. They laugh a lot and make you smile, they’re kind and affectionate, relaxed and real and as I discovered one day in Brighton, the kind of people you feel like you’ve always known. They also have a habit of making the sun shine, which was perfect for our morning wandering around for their pre-wedding photos.

I was lucky enough to photograph their beautiful wedding at Northbrook Park last month and say a sweet goodbye before they jet off around the world for an entire year on their most amazing honeymoon.

Thank you two for being so lovely, for having me as your photographer and for making me a friend. You’re really very awesome.

I’ll be blogging their wedding in full as soon as I’ve caught up with what’s been happening this year. We’ve both had a busy week of non-stop edits and so tomorrow I’m taking a well-earned day off to spend with my family. There is however no rest for the wicked, as I’m back to work on Sunday with a portrait session in Paris. I really do love my job.

  • THANK YOU, MARTHA STEWART WEDDINGS

    I am hugely honoured and incredibly flattered to have been included in Martha Stewart Weddings’ Top Wedding Photographers list! It’s an accolade I would never have dreamt of, but thanks to the exceptionally generous team at Martha Stewart Weddings (I’m looking at you ladies, Shira & Darcy) I find myself unbelievably listed among my inspirations…

    You can download the pretty Spring issue here and if you’d like to see a printed copy, there will be ten on the shelves of my office. And one in a gold frame, too.  Is it too early in the day for a champagne celebration..?

  • A NONSUCH MANSION WEDDING

    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.

  • MIKI | PORTRAIT OF A BRIDE

    This here is Miki. On the day of her wedding, she got dressed on a boat and it was bright and fresh and the view was so incredible. It was at this moment that I got a little bit awestruck. Isn’t she just beautiful?

    I’m not sure that there is a better place to get ready for your wedding, than right by the sea.

    I had a 4.30am start this morning for my first ever sunrise session and I’m up again at 3am for a flight to Mallorca. I am tired and I better get packing.

  • A WEDDING AT ONE MARYLEBONE

    Kate & Tom were the first clients I met after a long flight home from Australia in January. We had a drink at The Alice House and talked for hours and I knew before I’d left, that we had become friends. Their wedding was just beautiful. Kate shone, Tom grinned, they both said I do and I cried just a little bit, from the sheer love of it all.

  • A WEDDING IN PORTUGAL

    Jess & Ludge got married in April this year in Lourinha, Portugal and I was so grateful to have been there. Friends and family flew from Sydney, London and Paris to celebrate and it made for a beautiful reunion.

    The evening before, everyone met up for a chat and a catch up, this time in a tiny old village. We stood outside in the street, laughing and talking whilst the sun set and the bar next door sold glasses of wine for 30¢. This is the tiny village that Ludgero grew up in.


    Early the next morning, I headed out to photograph Jess getting ready with her mum, in a lovely bright hotel room. My favourite.

  • IN THE PAST MONTH

    …we have flown 9475km, driven 3750km, spent 17 nights in 10 different hotels, squeezed 14 newly weds, cried at 7 weddings, sat on 6 planes, spoken four different languages (at questionable degrees of fluency), travelled with three different loved ones as dutiful assistants and are now two very happy and grateful photographers. It’s been one really busy past month, but it’s also been so worth it.

    Here’s a little look at what we’ve been up to.

    My first wedding in Amalfi, for two very beautiful people…

    An engagement session in Paris for the gorgeous Janice & Michael…

    Followed by their intimate wedding in Provence…

     This glamorous wedding near Dijon for the very dapper Nicolas & the exceptional Alexandra…

    And I finished up in España with elegant Alia & dashing Pierre’s fantastic wedding in Spain…

    It has been a beyond beautiful month for us both and it looks like it’s set to last. We’re off to two lovely weddings in Ascot & Wiltshire today, a little bit closer to home.

    Have a lovely weekend one and all and an especially happy anniversary to you, Husband.

    Three years of marriage and you’re still here! I love you immensely. x
