Alyssa and Jack planned their wedding day keeping in mind what they would most like to do with their friends and family for just one day. It was so much fun! They chose a unique venue with personal meaning: The Boileroom music venue in Guildford, where they had attended many gigs together over the years….
I recall watching Cat, whom I have encountered at many weddings over the years, dancing with Charles at the wedding of Sass and Chris. I noticed how they looked at each other, and I thought to myself, ‘I am going to hear from Cat soon.’ Three weeks later, I received an email: Cat and Charles…
A glorious marquee wedding in the garden of the Essex family home. I was over the moon when Anna got in touch to let me know she was getting married and I realised I was available for that day. After photographing her sister Jess and her brother Adam’s weddings I knew this would be an…
Wimborne Minster in Dorset was such a warm and welcoming place to hold a wedding like Sam and George’s, it felt like the whole town was the wedding venue! The year before Sam was bridesmaid for Jen, this time the roles were reversed. One of my favourite things about my job is that I often…
A Suffolk Garden Wedding There was a heatwave, Exploding Kittens, Mario Kart, a handmade dress, sunflowers, and pigs. Before anyone worries, no cats got so hot they popped; it’s a card game. I might have nearly melted a bit, though. It wasn’t quite the hottest wedding that summer, but it was close.I ended up here…
A Bowie tribute act and Pub Tropicana-themed London wedding reception! I love a wedding that tells you exactly who the couple are—laid back, fun, colourful, and, most importantly, joyful. Every choice they made was perfect for their wedding, from the Union Chapel ceremony to the stunning Halfpenny dress that Tash is wearing. You can read…
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 was a lovely day in June, perfect for a wedding at home in a beautiful garden. The ceremony was held at St Peter’s in Great Totham, there’s quite the view over the fields from the church. All the guests parked back at the house and were taken to and from the church in a…
I was a middle of a field, shooting a festival, when the message arrived from Victoria letting me know she was going to marry George. How pleased I was to hear that news! Tor is one of the happiest wedding guests I have met over the years so I knew her day was going to…
Springtime gave me two weddings I had particularly looked forward to photographing, having photographed both couples at many weddings over the years it was wonderful to see them have their days… and the brides were bridesmaids for each other! First up we have Jennifer and Charlie who married on a perfect sunny April day at…
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, those kids were fast as lightning and they did in fact have expert timing! In a very well planned first dance Annlouise, Raphael and the younger guests put on quite a show for the first dance! It was an unseasonably windy July day at Alpheton Hall Barns near Sudbury. Annlouise,…
I am really late blogging this wedding, I have a whole stack of weddings to still put up on my site. This one is from October 2016, and I had two weddings that year at the very same farm, and somehow they amazingly managed to make them look entirely different. I couldn’t resist asking dad…
My first homebrew wedding! Heidi and Rob were showered with hops from above during their first dance, the tables were named after varieties of hops, and most impressive of all is that Rob brewed all of the beer drunk at this wedding himself! These beers had names like Hop Hat & Tails and The Brewed…
