Cathryn & Alex | Wedding

June 22, 2012 · 26 Comments

I can’t quite believe how many amazing days I’ve gotten to be a part of already, and the year is only (but also already!) at the halfway point. Soo excited to be finally blogging Cathryn & Alex’s wedding down in Cornwall, and couldn’t think of a better time than Midsummer’s Eve to do it!

Not only are Cathryn & Alex absolute sweethearts, which was obvious already at their engagement session, I just adore their taste in everything, from design to music, so I always had an inkling their wedding would be extra pretty. The whole day took place at the gorgeous Lantallack Farm, and despite having headed down to Cornwall armed with wellies et al. the weather turned out absolutely perfect.

Cathryn had been suffering from a cold in the days leading up to the wedding, but with a little magic from Dare 2 Wear and Amy Jackson from The Whole Shebang, she looked absolutely radiant on the day. The amazing Manuel Mota gown from Pronovias fitted like a glove, and once again I got to indulge in shooting my favourite Jimmy Choos.

A couple of years ago I mentioned that I’d love to shoot some yellow-themed weddings, and oh boy have my prayers been answered this year! I really loved the way yellow and grey ran through the whole day, from the stationery Cathryn designed herself, to the boys’ River Island suits and girls’ Dessy dresses, not to forget the the luurvely flowers by H. Watts Florist.

The Round Kitchen was in charge of the catering, while Born Hectic Events ran the bar and The Cheese Shed was responsible for the cheese in the evening. One of the stars of the day was the beautiful cake, which was created by Cathryn’s mum.

As if the day wasn’t perfect enough already (what with stuff like getting to see how happy and blooming one of my previous couples, Rose & Brendan were, thrown in) the first dance really topped it, not least because the song was the sublimely beautiful Only Love by Ben Howard. *Swoon*.

I tweeted on the day that if I was forced to do the same wedding over and over again, I would be quite happy if it was this one, and I’m not even joking. Thank you Cathryn & Alex for everything, I wish you the best of luck with your new adventures all the way over in Australia! x

Venice in November

December 21, 2011 · 14 Comments

I know this is cutting it quite close to Christmas, but I finally got all my images from Venice in order so I thought I’d share. At the end of November the husband and I spent a long weekend in one of our favourite cities in the world. The weather was chilly, which was actually pretty perfect, as there’s nothing more magical as foggy winter evenings on the canals.

On the rare occasion that I travel for pure pleasure I tend to leave my digital equipment at home and bring with me something more low key and/or fun. This time around I had my beloved Holga, an Ikoflex TLR (operations of which the eBay seller described as ‘esoteric’, and he wasn’t far off!), and of course my iPhone. I mention these cameras for those who take an interest in these things, for me it’s mostly the image that matters. Hence I’m not going to point out which camera took which picture, I think those who take an interest will spot the usual suspects in any case.

Enjoy!

Edited 27 Dec: Oops, just realised I forgot to scan the polaroids I took so have added them in there.

Kelly & Scott | Wedding portraits

September 19, 2011 · 30 Comments

Kelly & Scott got married at Islington Town Hall and had a small reception at a restaurant in London prior to their bigger wedding celebrations in Scotland and Malaysia next year. They decided that instead of getting the whole day documented, they’d like to just do a longer portrait session around London and at their flat. Since their wedding was on a weekday, this was just fine by me, and I have to say that it was *so* much fun concentrating on just the portrait bit of a wedding day without worrying too much about the rest of the timeline. It’s nice to shake things up a bit sometimes!

You can probably see that Kelly is a huge lover of colour, which made my job thoroughly enjoyable – and a big yellow balloon is always a bonus! You might also spot a few Holga frames in the mix. Kelly & Scott, I had so much fun with you two! I hope you will have as much fun throughout your wedding marathon, and that you will always remember to have a giggle together. x

Trip down Italy memory lane | Personal

September 20, 2009 · 5 Comments

Last week I got asked to photograph a wedding in Rome, Italy. Initially I jumped for joy as Italy is absolutely one of my favourite countries in the world! But I soon realised I was already booked on the date, which was a real bummer! Never the less, it was really cool to be asked in the first place. The whole thing made me really miss Italy, and feeling nostalgic, I went through some old shots from Rome, Venice and other places. All of these were shot with a Holga, another thing I miss! When ever I’m on holiday (which unfortunately doesn’t happen a lot these days!), the Holga inevitably travels with me. Perhaps one day I’ll take my Holga with me to a wedding and shoot a few rolls after all the critical stuff has been captured digitally. Hmm.









Well, that’s enough for reminiscing, it’s back to editing yesterday’s wedding now!
