Lucy & Matt | Wedding

April 13, 2012 · 14 Comments

Lucy & Matt’s wedding day was special in so many ways. First of all, we shot Lucy’s brother David’s wedding to Eleni three years ago, so it was a real privilege to get to celebrate with their lovely family once again. Also, seeing David and Eleni so happy and blooming, expecting their first baby in just a month, made me feel a bit maternal (like I slightly embarrassingly told David, it’s like my babies are all grown up!). Eleni & David also played a part in the wedding, as Eleni had created the beautiful cake, while David performed in the evening with his band, The Big Red.

Another reason that made this wedding pretty awesome was the fact that is was one of the very rare local weddings I get to shoot. I do love travelling around the country and beyond, but there is definitely something extra special about attending a wedding in your local neighbourhood.

Lucy and the girls got ready at the Bloated Mallard in Teddington, where Natalie Guest created an absolutely stunning hair do and make-up, before Lucy slipped into her adorable Charlotte Balbier gown. We then headed for a beautifully intimate ceremony at Orleans House Gallery in Twickenham. After the ceremony Brula, from my old neighbourhood in St Margarets, provided yummy-looking canapés under the blossoming trees, before the guests were ushered into a routemaster that took us to the reception venue, The Bloated Mallard in Hampton Hill.

One of my favourite bits was heading out for some portraits in my ‘local park’ i.e. Bushy Park, which was just amazing (and amazingly windy). It was also lovely to briefly catch up with Gareth of GJ’s Discos, who got the party started in the evening. Most of all I loved how everything about the day felt so comfortable and familiar, and how all the bits of the wedding were created by family and friends, such as the flowers for example, which were by Lucy’s mum’s friend Ginny.

These sort of days make my job feel somehow more meaningful, getting to see how my previous couples are flourishing, and feeling like I am somehow connected to these different strings of life out there. It’s just the best.

Alice | Together

October 6, 2009 · 2 Comments

This, like the shoot with Jodie, wasn’t quite a ‘newborn’ shoot any more since Alice as well is already 10 weeks old. Usually I recommend newborn shoots to take place within the first 1-2 weeks purely because it’s easier for the lil’un. At only days old, rather than weeks, babies are not really that aware of what’s happening. Thus they don’t really mind that much playing the supermodel, unlike a bit older babies who are more aware that something is required of them but can’t understand what, which would make anyone a bit cranky (not to mention the stripping you nekkid and pointing a camera at you bit)! Louise and Matt certainly worked hard to get Alice to give me some absolutely adorable smiles, and boy was it well worth it. I don’t care what you say, you just can’t help but adore this little angel!

Jodie | Together

October 4, 2009 · 3 Comments

Penny and Rob contacted me as they wanted to get some family portraits of the three of them with their daughter Jodie, and to get a record of this special time in their lives in general. At 10 weeks old Jodie wasn’t quite sure about the whole photo shoot malarkey, but it was still pretty impossible to take non-cute photos of this cutie – just look at those eyes! Thanks Penny and Rob for letting me take a peek into your family life, hopefully Jodie wasn’t too traumatised by the demands of the model lifestyle!

Lucinda | Newborn

August 9, 2009 · 3 Comments

I’m very sorry if I’ve just killed you with cuteness. You can now sympathise with how I felt editing these pictures, it was pretty much impossible not to go awwwww every few seconds. :D You will probably remember how I took some maternity portraits of Sarah & Steve at the start of July. Well, Lucinda Rose Hooton arrived fashionably late on the evening of Wednesday 22nd of July, and she did her first professional photo shoot when just 8 days old. And I have to tell you that she was one of the most agreeable models I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She smiled her way through most of the shoot, and only peed on mum once. Her only complaint was that it got a bit chilly when she was modeling in the buff, but all in all she was a little angel. And will you just look at those perfect little feet! <3

Eleni & David – Reception | Wedding

August 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The reception of Eleni & David’s wedding was held at Tamesis Sailing Club in Teddington, which was the perfect location for a beautiful summer’s day, and Eleni & David’s grand arrival on a boat across the Thames really set the mood for the rest of the party. There was a great relaxed atmosphere to this wedding, and all I have to say is that if you have to spend your birthday working, you couldn’t choose a nicer event for it. Oh and I totally have to name check David’s aunt Toshi, who came over from New Jersey and hand made all the sushi and the flower arrangements! How cool is that.

Congratulations again Eleni & David, I wish you all the best for your future together!
