What a pleasure it was to photograph Sarah and James’ wedding in the garden of Sarah’s family home in Cobham. I already knew Sarah because, apart from photographing weddings, I have also, for the past 5 years or so, been commissioned for photography work by the WCRF, and Sarah is the editor of their ‘Healthy…
It is not often that I have the opportunity to photograph a wedding close to home. This past weekend presented one such rare occasion. In fact, the final image from the wedding captures a view of my hometown, South Woodham Ferrers, as a twinkling lightscape across the River Crouch. Brandy Hole must be the only…
I had so much fun at this wedding at the Houchins wedding venue. Claire and her family used to be my neighbours, here in South Woodham Ferrers. When Claire was still in school, she’d serve me in the local corner shop, and I’d hear her and her brother Iain practising playing their musical instruments from…
A few weeks ago, I found myself on a farm in Hook-a-Gate, Shropshire surrounded by many familiar faces, including Sarah and Duncan. They have been guests at many of my past weddings back home and had fairly recently moved. We all came up from Essex for their wedding day. Sadly, we did not manage to…
This was such a fun wedding for me as I remembered Anna and Paul (and the other guests) so well from Kati and Dave’s wedding back in 2014. I especially remembered Anna’s dance moves, which I am pleased to say I saw again on the very enthusiastic dance floor! The ceremony was held at the…
What a first dance song and what a wedding! Nemone and James had the most wonderful, laid-back family wedding at the beautiful St John’s College, Cambridge, back in August. After donning her fabulous golden cape (the whole outfit being unique, a self-design), Nemone and her family punted past the Bridge of Sighs to dock at…
What a day! It started at midday with Aperol spritzes and a proper shave in Barberia del Centro and it ended in the early hours, on the beach watching an oncoming storm in the distance. From the barber’s we went on to Lù’s home, his parents’ home, then Antonia’s brother kindly took me to see the bella bride…
Kristina and Steven married in St Peter’s Italian Church in London, what a joy that was to shoot! Not only because of what a vibrant building the church is but also because Italian weddings are far more laid back. Padre Andrea was very welcoming and it’s unusual to be allowed such freedom to move around in…
Well, if I had a fantastic day at Lucy (Goose) and Dave’s London wedding while working, you can imagine what a great time they and their guests had! I was particularly pleased as they fulfilled a personal wedding wish I’ve always had: to hear some Nick Cave at a wedding. In my opinion, his lyrics…
What a delightful wedding this was for me on many levels. Naturally, I had the pleasure of the company of wonderful people (but then, I only work with couples like this). However, there were also some firsts – a first look, my inaugural wedding on a boat, and, if you take a look at Andrew,…
