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.

  • ONWARDS & UPWARDS…

    Over the past four years, I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with my brilliant and beautiful friend Emma Jane. We’ve photographed the vast majority of our weddings alone but have also been able to work together on huge weddings in London, at a medieval French castle and out in the Somerset countryside. It’s been so fantastic having someone help me tame the loveable beast that is Caught the Light and also, to see her weddings and talent take her to Germany, France, Italy and Spain along with countless corners of our very own England.

    Alas, the time had come to distinguish ourselves as two individual photographers a little more clearly. So, as one door closes, another swings wide open… Em is now married to her devilishly handsome actor and with a new year come new websites for us both. She is still an exceptional choice for your wedding photography and if when you enquire I am already booked, she’ll still be my number one girl. Having photographed my wedding five years ago, I couldn’t ever recommend another more highly.

    You can keep up with her weddings over on her Facebook page, sneak a look at what goes on behind the scenes over on her instagram account and read her 140-character thoughts over on twitter. There’s her blog for all of the latest and lastly if you might like to have her photograph your wedding, then I honestly don’t know what you’re waiting for.

    Finally, to you Mrs Sekhon, tusen tack for being so wonderful over the whirlwind of the past few years. I can’t wait to see what this exciting new chapter brings. Ever onwards and upwards!

  • 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 TRIP TO CAPE TOWN

    A couple of months ago, we went to Cape Town, for Richard & Sanchia’s wedding and decided to make a really good holiday of it. On our first day, we rushed down to a beach bar to have cocktails in the setting sun with the very lovely Emma Norén and her handsome Ricky.

    Emma & Ricky Cape Town
    This is my first photo taken with her beautiful Rolleiflex-there’s something sweet about taking a photographer’s photo. Emma photographed our wedding last year and for that, I adore her. We had so much organised for when we visited Cape Town, looking back at all the photos, I am amazed we fitted it all in.

    London wedding photography 
    I’m now off away again for a few days, this time to Sicily to eat, sleep and take photos. Then I’m back to work on two weddings next week, in Covent Garden and the country. It’s going to be a really good week.

  • 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.
