ALEXANDRA & NICHOLAS’ FRENCH WEDDING

A day of smiles, excitement and laughter, two promises to hold fast and a happily ever after. Alex & Nic, their beautiful families, my cameras and I and their friends from overseas. We all came together for a most emotional day, we watched and we clapped, we sang and we swayed. It felt like a film, the band played J’ysuis Jamais Allé and it became the soundtrack to a most incredible day…

Alex & Nic, thank you so much for trusting me to spend the day with you, to photograph your story and for a really lovely lunch in Sydney. It was an absolute pleasure.

Venue: L’abbaye de la Bussiere, Beaune // Planner: The Fantastic Celine at Piece Montee // Dress: Collette Dinnigan

This month is an exceptionally busy one with five weddings in France for me and a humanist ceremony in Kent too at the end of the month. I’m back and forth for the whole of September but will be picking up email and finishing up edits as quickly as possible.

This weekend Emma Jane is in York for a wedding festival with tipis and I’m just about to start packing for a flight to the south of France, for a very private wedding this weekend. It’s going to be sunny in London, but hopefully even sunnier in St Tropez.

  • 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.

  • A HAMPSHIRE WEDDING

    Carey and James are a lovely, down-to-earth couple who got married in the first week in June. They held their reception at the very stylish Anchor Inn in the very quaint Hampshire, out in the English countryside. I have never been to such a fantastic pub in all of my life and I’m not proud to admit that I’ve visited a fair few. We had such beautiful weather that everyone was in the highest of spirits, which really made for quite the perfect day.

  • BALI BOUND

    A busy summer it has been, with weddings and shoots aplenty. Happy memories I have captured, to the sum of eight and twenty. Autumn is here and the sun is now shy, the leaves slowly litter the ground, so I’m packing my case and off we will fly, for we are Bali bound…

    I am so excited to be photographing a gorgeous outdoor wedding in Bali next weekend! If you need me, I’ll be back on October 16th and if you’d like to see what I’m up to the interim, you can have a behind-the-scenes look over on Instagram.

    Thank you as ever to UK Film Lab for the beautiful scan, from an amazing wedding at the Tiara Miramar hotel on the beautiful Cote d’Azur, earlier this month.  There’s plenty more where this has come from, just as soon as I get chance to catch up on the blog. This year has been even busier than I expected but I’m really not complaining when it’s all looked like this!

  • A HEMPEL HOTEL WEDDING

    Jing & Bai are a truly unique couple. From the moment we met, I loved their style and individuality, Jing’s cheeky eyes and Bai’s sense of calm. I was honoured to photograph their intimate London wedding, which they shared together with twenty friends. At our first meeting, Bai told me that he liked tilt-shift photography, so I bought a tilt-shift lens to use at their wedding. It’s a tiny little bit magic.
