Briar and George’s wedding at Goldie Estate on Waiheke had it all. The sunshine, the views, the warmth, love and laughter, plus a few special extras thrown in - such as Russian bread sharing and wine glass smashing, and a marching band in super hero outfits…

When I went to meet Emma and Matt on the morning of their wedding at Islington Town Hall on 19th December, I didn’t know it was going to be the last wedding I would photograph in 2020. I was due to capture another elopement in East London the following day, but such was the speed of lockdown changes back then! In any case, Emma and Matt’s beautiful micro-wedding was a wonderful finish to a tricky year, and we were all so grateful that it could go ahead amongst all the uncertainty…

This shoot was such a joy! With lockdown 2.0 looming in London we had to bring Cat, Chris and Agnes’s family shoot forward by a few days, and I’m so happy we managed to fit it in. The three of them were about to move house and wanted to capture some memories…

Newborn shoots with three kids in the house are definitely exhausting! But I love the energy and spontaneity of shoots like these - you never know what you are going to get….

Pauli and Sean’s fabulous little elopement came a bit out of nowhere. They’d booked me to photograph their bigger wedding next April, but then decided they actually did really want some beautiful photos of their tiny registry hall wedding this autumn as well…

Meet the wonderful Claire, whom I had a brilliant personal branding shoot with back in November. Claire decided to follow her dreams last year, ditch her city career in HR, to do what means most to her - supporting others through life’s personal and professional challenges…

Alicia and John split their time between Canada and and London, and decided to elope with just their most immediate family at Hackney Town Hall this week. We had a totally gorgeous afternoon…

On a rather chilly January morning, I met up with these to champs for their pre-wedding shoot around London. It was one of those cold and crispy days with beautiful morning light, and Borough Market was just setting up for the day. We got coffee at Monmouth Coffee Shop…

You just can’t beat the early evening light in spring. Lorna and Nick’s engagement shoot in Richmond Park was such a treat. We went for a relaxed wander among the tall grass and trees, enjoying the beautiful warm weather and played with the light…

Rachel and Graham were due to get married this autumn, but like so many couples this year, they’ve had to postpone. It was so nice to meet them for a little pre-wedding shoot last week, and capture some beautiful moments in the neighbourhood where they first met - so romantic…

I couldn’t have asked for a better finish to 2019! Hannah and Gavin’s elopement in Camden was one of the most romantic things I’ve seen in a while. It was 5 days before Christmas and one of those real horrid grey London drizzly days, where you can barely see the tops of buildings…

I’ve been lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time at Old Marylebone Town Hall the last few months, capturing micro weddings and elopements. The staff at Marylebone are doing a brilliant job keeping everyone safe, whilst still making every ceremony feel beautiful, unique and special. It’s one of my favourite London registry office to work at right moment…

I do love a little escape for a couple session into the Surrey countryside. Especially on a gorgeous summer’s evening like we had last week. Less than an hour’s drive from London, and it feels like I’m in a different country.

Christy and Bill’s pre-wedding shoot in London is most likely one of many unplanned and unexpectedly beautiful things to come out of the Coronavirus disruption. The two of them were due to get married in Oxford in March, with all their friends and family travelling over from Hong Kong…

Leonie and Jonathan’s wedding in beautiful Killarney was such a treat at the end of this year’s wedding season. I had photographed Leonie’s friend’s wedding in New Zealand last year (small world), and was thrilled when she got in touch and asked me to photograph her big day in Ireland as well…

SURREY WEDDING

TIPS AND ADVICE

I love it when couples get married in a place close to their hearts. Sophie and Ben met in their first year studying at Merton College, Oxford, and 10 years on…

One of my favourite discoveries this summer were the Pergola Hill Gardens in Hampstead. It’s such a peaceful, pretty and romantic place - the perfect secret garden for an engagement session. Here are Tulsi and Daniel. I can’t wait to capture their wedding day next year.

Nese and Raymon’s wedding day at Morden Park House last August was such a lovely intimate family celebration. Surrounded by just their closest friends and family, the two of them exchanged their beautiful personalised vows in the pretty Sheridan room…
