There is a lovely write up about me, Jesh and Beloved in the August issue of Photo Professional magazine, which is out now. They’ve also laid my pictures out really nicely (even if Jesh’s bit has a picture taken by me as well, sorry Jesh!). I’m very excited that Beloved is getting good, level-headed exposure such as this, and I firmly believe that the future is bright for more fulfilling type of photography.
While down in beautiful Cornwall last month, I had the pleasure of photographing an amazing Beloved session with Kelly & Nik. Kelly is originally from the little village of Fowey in Cornwall, and it is also the place where Nik proposed to her, and where they had the official bit of their wedding ceremony two years ago, before a celebration in Ibiza.
For their second wedding anniversary Kelly wanted to give Nik a Beloved session as an anniversary present, as she felt they didn’t have enough relaxed and natural pictures of themselves together.
I can’t tell you enough how much I love doing these sessions! It’s just so touching to be able to watch two people remembering how much they mean to each other, and I feel immensely privileged to be able to capture those moments for the couple to remember forever.
Thank you Kelly and Nik for putting so much trust in me, and for giving to each other so willingly.
P.s. you can read more about what Kelly & Nik thought about their session over at Kelly’s blog.
It’s a rare treat for me to cover a truly ‘local’ wedding, so Abigail & Simon’s day felt very special indeed, taking place practically just at my doorstep. Abi & Simon tied the knot at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Church in Thames Ditton, in a ceremony which was made extra special by the fact that after the ‘I dos’ Abi & Simon’s son Charlie got christened. So this was indeed a huge day for the whole family!
From the church we made a quick jump, via a portrait session in Bushy park, to Kingston-upon-Thames for a wedding reception at the gorgeous Warren House. Pesky rain cut our portrait session short, but not before the deer got a good glimpse of Abi’s beautiful Suzanne Neville gown. Personally I think that every wedding portrait session should come with mandatory deer!
The reception was a true labour of love from Abi’s part. She had handmade most everything, special mention going to the amazing tea cups with wine glass stems for the girls and wineglasses attached to toy cars for the boys. All hand glued by Abi! I also loved the dessert table, which consisted of a variety of cakes, all made by the guests. At the end of the evening, when the happy couple had sampled all the flavours, prizes were given out to the top cakes. Such a fun idea.
I can’t thank you enough Abigail, Simon and Charlie, for letting us share your beautiful day with you. I wish your whole gorgeous family all the happiness for the future!
