Fri from Wedding Nouveau wrote a really lovely feature on Sarah & Dan’s wedding. I think the way she told their story really complemented my pictures and added a lot of depth. My own blog posts are pretty slim on the copy side due to lack of time and the fact that I tell my stories via pictures, so it was really lovely to see this wedding featured in this sort of ‘full bodied’ context. Thanks so much Fri!
We headed out to the Barbican estate for Sophie & Henry’s engagement shoot in search of something a bit ‘different’. It really is a strange environment and everything feels slightly surreal, like you’re suddenly stuck in a 70′s sci-fi movie or something. Which is kinda cool. The weather was beautiful and we had an absolute blast trying not to get lost in the maze of the estate.
I can’t believe these two were telling me how they never look good in pictures! Hello?
Now I face a reeeally long wait until their wedding next year.
I’d been looking forward to Magali & Jeff’s wedding for what seems like forever! It feels like ages ago when we did their engagement session on Hampstead Heath. Well the big day finally came at the start of September, and it certainly was worth waiting for! Magali & Jeff got married at St Marks Church, Hamilton Terrace and the reception was held at Burgh House in Hampstead (which by the way has a lovely cafe if you ever want to stop for a cuppa). There was, once again, a proper international vibe about this wedding, since Magali is Portuguese and her family came from pretty much all over the world to attend the wedding. Also, her Japanese heritage, and graphic designer background, definitely had an influence on the beautiful and quirky details of this wedding as well.
This is my first attempt at trying to make my blog entries a little bit shorter, as I think they can be a bit overwhelming. I must say it is absolutely killing me though! :D I find it quite hard showing pictures out of context and I think my work is at its strongest when the whole story is there. Alas, for various reasons I have decided to try a bit more restrained approach for now.
Ok ok I know I have to finish editing Magali & Jeff’s wedding before I get to today’s shoots, but I just couldn’t resist posting these quick shots from Sophie & Henry’s engagement shoot today. Is it just me or are these two ridiculously cute?? :D
A fact. Magali & Jeff are made of awesome. More to come soon once I manage to conquer the editing of this wedding without constantly having to tackle other urgent and distracting issues.
