Langley Park Wedding Photography ~ Michael & Fliss' Cotswolds Wedding

Langley Park has only recently opened up as a wedding venue with Michael and Fliss being one of the first couples to get married on the gorgeous estate in the Cotswolds.  The estate has it's own cute little church so just a short walk from the main house for the ceremony although they chose to race off for a quick spin after the ceremony to ensure a proper arrival to their reception.

The Swann Theatre Wedding Photography ~ Nadia & Antony's Wedding In Stratford upon Avon

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.

Bar Italia Wedding Photography || London Wedding Photographer for Elyse & Sebastian

A small and intimate ceremony and celebration with Canadian Elyse and Polish Sebastian who met and fell in love in London and were engaged in Mexico.  They told me they were non-traditional from the start.  He was there to pick out the dress and they started the day with close family and friends at their favourite coffee haunt, Bar Italia, in Soho before the ceremony.   They told me 'we truly are best friends', and I think this comes out in the pictures.

Braisty Estate Wedding Photography ~ Yorkshire Wedding Photographer for Tom & Joelle

This has to rate as one of my favourite weddings recently - for the people, the locations, the weather, the sheer magicalness of Yorkshire which is a county close to my heart as I went to university there many years ago.  Despite the rain Joelle's sheer good natured loveliness shone through the entire day and Tom is definitely a very lucky man.   We managed to squeeze in a shoot at Brimham Rocks the evening before and from there we could see the teepee illuminated in a ray of sunshine in a distant field on Braisty Estate.  It was definitely a good omen - as was the stunning double rainbow that appeared out of the showers the evening of the wedding.  The teepee was opened to the elements and the stunning views of the hills and guests moved easily between indoor and outdoor.

Ill Bottaccio Wedding Photography ~ Clare & James's Winter London Wedding

This was Clare and James' gorgeous winter wedding party at the grand Ill Bottaccio in Kensington, London.  It was a crisp bright morning and I walked across Hyde Park to the studio where the girls were getting ready.  The late ceremony meant that it got dark soon after the wedding but there was enough time to get a few shots on the street before the party got started.  I have known Clare's family for about 10 years and so it's always such a joy and a proud moment to be so closely involved in a wedding like this.

Mountains Country House Tunbridge Wells Wedding Photography || Cat + Nick |

Cat and Nick were guests at a wedding I photographed a couple of years ago in Tunbridge Wells - Katie & James - and contacted me last year to cover their wedding.  I finally got a chance to see them again only a month ago when I went to photograph their engagement shoot at The Beacon Pub where they first met when working there as students.  After the ceremony at St Mary's Church, Speldhurst near Cat's parents house we headed to Mountain's Country House in Hildenborough to be greeted by Cat's ex race-horse Merry.  It was a beautiful day with wonderfully relaxed people and an outstanding best man speech!
