A beautiful autumnal wedding at Marylebone Old Town Hall with a small number of guests.

Summer photography engagement shoot with Brittney and David in the iconic London location of Holland Park and on the picturesque West London mews streets.

A beautiful summers wedding in London at the magical and historic Fulham Palace for Zara and Alex.

A wedding venue close to my home and my heart; Hackey Town Hall. This was Olivia and Michael’s wonderful wedding that continued onto Oval Space in Bethnal Green.

My last wedding before lockdown in March at Lewtrenchard Manor in Devon - my first time photographing at this beautiful venue on Dartmoor.

Even if you have chosen to go in the direction of a documentary wedding photographer, it’s likely you will still want to capture a handful of group photos whilst your family are all together in one place for the day. Here are some of my top suggestions to make the most of the time you have.

A very intimate London wedding at Islington Town Hall in the Lord Mayor's Parlour followed by a cosy reception in The Londesborough Pub in Clapton for Sinead and Alice.

A champagne fuelled vintage reception followed the I Do's at Brixton East 1871, a converted 19th century furniture warehouse, complete with live jazz and personalised cocktails.

A recent interview with Fuji Passion in their Wedding Special about my use of the Fuji X camera system that I now use to photograph weddings.

A local wedding for me in East London at two magical venues and a reception at MC Motors.

September was a busy month for me travelling to weddings in Lisbon, Bordeaux and Santorini and it was amazing to be thrust into new cultures and working with the different lights and backdrops in some of the most beautiful places in Europe. Caroline and Anthony chose a venue local to where they both grew up, Chateau Giscours, for their wedding photography

From the adorable local church to the countryside reception, Rosa and Andy's wedding was a delight to capture. A beautiful August day in Ingham punctuated with individuality....after all not many brides and grooms cycle all the way to their seats at wedding breakfast! Other favourite moments for me include the first marital head to head taking shape in the form of tug-of-war (with an extra special pair of shoes for the task) and an idyllic first dance outside in the fresh air. Wonderful! 

It's always fun to shoot at a new wedding venue and I'd been looking forward to photographing a wedding at South Farm in December when Natalie and Paul booked me last minute for this summer.  With a picturesque outdoor setting for the ceremony, an Asian tuk tuk on standby as the getaway vehicle and gorgeous grounds this was a pretty dreamy wedding to photograph - not to mention how beautiful Natalie looked.

Sarah and Simon chose to become Mrs and Mr at Cornwell Manor, a hidden gem of a venue which was formerly a hunting lodge set in the heart of the Cotswolds.  A late afternoon ceremony allowed for the rains to pass and the afternoon was spent outside in the sunshine.  A proper English country garden wedding.

This is something I get asked a lot by my clients. The answer of course will depend on numerous factors, from where you're getting ready to the size of your wedding. Here are my top reasons I would recommend a second shooter:

Now living in New York having moved to be with Bryan, Niamh wanted to have her wedding in London.  The ceremony was an intimate family gathering in Mayfair with drinks reception at The Connaught before a short break and rejoining for a large sit down feast at the extraordinary Petersham Nurseries - one of my favourite wedding venues in London.  As darkness fell the candles lit the glasshouses and the most lavish floral displays.

A grand ceremony at the impressive Warwick Church followed by a rather blustery departure to Olivia's family home where her sister was married only a couple of years ago.  A fusion of English, South American and a few drinking games thrown in and a rather impressive first dance.  Oh, and Olivia MADE her own dress!

I was very blessed to have been present and captured a very special and intimate ceremony between Nadia and Antony last year when they had their civil ceremony in Clissold Park and so I was hugely excited to have the opportunity to photograph their full wedding a year later in Stratford Upon Avon.  With family connections to The Royal Shakespeare Company it seemed appropriate to hold the ceremony at The Swann Theatre.  Definitely the most unusual wedding venue I have attended and all the more special for it - with a wonderful mixture of religious influences.  It felt both theatrical and spiritual, solemn and entertaining.
