St Pancras Renaissance Wedding Photography

October 9, 2017 · 14 Comments

I’m so late blogging this London vow renewal and wedding celebration! I don’t quite know how the summer is already in the rearview mirror and we’re heading straight into winter. It feels like only yesterday when we gathered at St Mary Abbots for a beautiful ceremony and, afterwards, hopped onto a Routemaster that took us to St Pancras Renaissance Hotel for the Wedding Breakfast and evening celebration.

There were beautiful flowers by Lavender Green Flowers, a gorgeous cake by Abigail Bloom Cake Company, and of course the stunning Courtney, who looked amazing in her customised Amanda Wyatt gown and Emmy London shoes. Jess from St Pancras Renaissance Hotel was in charge of catering, and it was so lovely to have a mini reunion with some of my favourite vendors, the Wedding Smashers who got everyone on the dancefloor, and Gorgeous Films, who were there to capture the day on video.

Ever since their engagement shoot in Cornwall, I knew that their day would be something special, and I wasn’t wrong! Thank you so much for letting me play my little part in everything! xo

Countryside Summer Wedding at Soho Farmhouse

June 26, 2017 · 9 Comments

It felt like such a long time since Anne & Archie’s London engagement session, but when their beautiful countryside wedding day at Soho Farmhouse finally arrived it was certainly worth the wait! The day started in such an idyllic setting, with the girls getting ready at the cutest cabin where Gemma Sutton was in charge of hair & makeup. When Anne got into her exquisite Mira Zwillinger wedding gown and put on her Aquazzura wedding shoes, there was not a dry eye in the room!

A horse-drawn carriage took the bridesmaids to the ceremony before returning with Anne’s father on board to fetch her. The perfect summer day added to the atmosphere of the most picturesque day in the country.

The reception, organised and catered by Soho Farmhouse, continued the summery theme. Anne’s home country of Norway was incorporated into the look of the floral decorations and the traditions (such as getting the bride & groom to stand on a table and kiss at the clink of a glass!), making the whole event feel like a real life midsummer’s dream. I have to also give a shout out to The London Essentials, who were truly amazing, entertaining the guests with their music in their own energetic interactive way. Definitely a hit with the crowd!

It was such a pleasure to be there to photograph this gorgeous day, thank you so much for having us, Anne & Archie! Wishing you all the sunshine for your future! xo

Enchanting Elopement Wedding in London

June 21, 2017 · 2 Comments

Both Milla & Nelo’s families live far away from their home in London and trying to arrange a big wedding that would bring everyone together just seemed like a too stressful task, so the couple decided to ‘run away’ and get married without telling anyone in advance!

I really do enjoy elopement weddings because there’s a certain sense of adventure and spontaneity about the proceedings. The day also lets the couple concentrate all their attention on each other, instead of worrying about the million tiny details that go with organising bigger weddings.

I loved playing a small part in Milla & Nelo’s intimate day, it definitely feels like a huge privilege to be in on such a massive secret! Seeing how in love these two are, I don’t think their family and friends can deny their day was perfect – for them. I’m sure there will be a party of some sort to celebrate with nearest and dearest at some point to make up for it!

Milla & Nelo, thank you so much for allowing me to document your special day! xo

Victoria & Charles : Kensington Palace wedding with old school glamour

June 23, 2016 · 11 Comments

Time is a funny thing. It seemed like I had been waiting for Victoria & Charles’ wedding day for ages, and yet it felt like it was only yesterday when we got together for their engagement session in Somerset. Taking on such a limited number of weddings means I’m looking forward to each one with even more enthusiasm, and I couldn’t have been more excited when Victoria & Charles’ big day finally rolled around!

Victoria got ready with her sister and friends at her childhood home, which added something really special to the proceedings. It was lovely to be surrounded by all the photographs and mementoes that told such vivid stories and formed a map of memories. Pat Mascolo, the mother of one of Victoria’s oldest friends was on hand for make-up, and Lauren from Tony and Guy perfected Victoria’s stunningly glamorous wavy hair-do.

Before Victoria stepped into her Valentino shoes and the most beautiful (I, mean really!) Monique Lhuillier gown from Browns Bride, her and Charles’ dog Albert came in for a quick cuddle and a pose. You could literally hear all the hearts in the room melting! After popping on her great-great grandmother’s pearl and diamond earrings, and Charlie’s family onyx and diamond bracelet, and picking up her simply stunning Hayford and Rhodes bouquet, Victoria was ready.

It was a short walk to the church of St Mary Abbots and after the ceremony, all the guests continued on foot to the Orangery at Kensington Palace for the party. There, Rhubarb was in charge of the catering and Pearl and Groove had created the most amazing gluten free cake. As well as stationery from Wren Press, Victoria’s own illustrations also played a part in the look of the day. She had illustrated all the escort cards to look like ‘Royal Ascot Enclosure’ badges, and each guest got a small cut-out caricature of themselves instead of a place card. It was definitely fun talking point (and a selfie opportunity!) and the guests took their portraits home.

Another talking point was a wonderful Photo Booth with a bespoke Reynolds oil painting backdrop, operated by the Photo Booth Guys. When the night fell, everyone got on the dance floor, and with a little help from the DJ’s Prelude Entertainment, boogied the night away.

It was such a pleasure to be a part of this joyful and beautiful day, and also to get to work with the amazing Gorgeous Film again. Victoria & Charles (and Albert!), I wish you all the best in your life together, I’m pretty sure it will be full of laughter and adventure! xo

Charley & Freddie | Wedding

October 5, 2015 · 15 Comments

Charley & Freddie’s wedding was special for many reasons. Not least because I had earlier photographed Charley sister Jess’s wedding to Luke, and prior to that Jess’s friend Lucy’s wedding to Matt, and even further back Lucy’s brother David’s wedding to Eleni. So being there for Charley & Freddie’s wedding made me feel connected to a long line of people, and also gave this strong sense of time passing and me getting to be a witness to its flow. Which is pretty special.

The day started at Park House Hotel in Midhurst, where Charley was getting ready with her girls. Lillie Lindh was in charge of make-up and hair, and florist Hannah Berry Flowers had created one of my favourite bouquets ever. Charley’s beautiful wedding gown was by Suzanne Neville, and she added some glitter to the proceedings with her L K Bennett wedges.

The ceremony at Church of St Mary and St Gabriel in South Harting was a joyous occasion, after which we headed back to the house where Freddie grew up. The garden had been transformed into a pretty magical wedding reception space, and even though rain had threatened earlier, once the guest arrived the sun came out and bathed everyone in lovely warm early evening autumn light.

Blue Fig were in charge of the food and the cake, which was set up in a gorgeous marquee by DP Marquees. There was just so much pretty and joy around, and it was a real pleasure to get celebrate Charley & Freddie with everyone. I also have to big up bride’s father Adam, who really is the wedding planner extraordinaire (I’m not sure whether he’s available for hire, but if he is, he’ll make sure an event runs smoothly!).

Thank you Charley & Freddie for letting us play a part in your day, I hope you’ll enjoy a lifetime of adventures together! x

Mary-Jane & Andrew | Wedding

August 24, 2015 · 2 Comments

Mary-Jane & Andrew’s wedding was such a joy to photograph! The couple had their ceremony at a registry office in London the previous day, with just witnesses present. The next day, they hosted an intimate reception for their nearest and dearest at Rossini at The Leatherne Bottel, a magical place by the river, which is where I joined the party. There was something so light and joyful about the atmosphere of this day, which was made out of genuine smiles of family and friends, a gorgeous setting, sunshine, and a glowing bride and groom.

Thank you so much Mary-Jane and Andrew for letting me be a part of your day, it really was special. x

Charlotte & Luke | Wedding

September 29, 2014 · 5 Comments

It’s always such a pleasure to return to Preston Court, and I’b been waiting for the next time impatiently ever since Charlotte & Luke’s engagement session.

The day started at the Bell Hotel in Sandwich, in a room bustling with maids and children, including Charlotte & Luke’s son Ethan. It was also the second week in a row that Gemma Sutton was on hand for hair and makeup, what were the chances! Charlotte’s gorgeous gown was from Confetti & Lace, and she wore the most adorable strappy Jimmy Choos I’ve come across yet. The girls travelled to Preston Court in style in a beetle and a camper van by Kent Beetles, hands down the cutest wedding cars I know.

Stationery by Hello!Lucky set the tone for things to come, and the special touches made by Charlotte herself (she sells her hand made items through Mamma Made This) really made the decor unique. Caterer Relish was in charge of the delicious food (not to mention took amazing care of us!) and the beautiful cake was by Hall of Cakes. Add in some gorgeous blooms by Euphoric Flowers, and what you get is pretty much my idea of wedding heaven.

Thank you so much, Charlotte & Luke, for letting us play a small part in your gorgeous day filled with carousel-fun, bouncing babies and much much laughter. I wish you all the best for your future together! x

Fleur & Nick | Wedding

September 25, 2014 · 2 Comments

‘He dived in, with no lifejacket, barely having even known me a week, and saved me from drowning to death in the Philippines sea. I would not be here today were it not for Nick, and I will never be able to repay him for that.’

By the time I got to these words within the story of how how Fleur & Nick met and fell in love, tears were running down my face and I knew I would reschedule what was supposed to be a trip back home in order to photograph their wedding. And even if their story wouldn’t have been as emotional as it is, I still wouldn’t regret my decision one bit, as I loved every minute of their wedding day.

The day started at Fleur’s childhood home, where Gemma Sutton was in charge of hair and makeup. After Fleur got into her beautiful Charlie Brear gown, and slipped on her sparkly Jimmy Choo shoes, we headed to St.Michaels Church in Chenies for the ceremony. But it was at Pidgeon House Meadow at Hall Barn Estate in Beaconsfield, where the full force of the gorgeousness really hit. A teepee in the middle of a field, filled with gorgeous blooms by Andrew Flemming and all the special touches Fleur spent a long time planning, really was the most magical setting.

The whole day was filled with such joyful emotion, which wasn’t dampened even by the rain showers. James Henton provided the perfect soundtrack for the day, and it was such a huge pleasure to get to work with Kissing Gate Films again. Caterer Caper & Berry was in charge of the most beautiful food, and the amazing cake was created by The Cake Parlour.

Thank you so much Fleur & Nick, for letting us play a small part in your incredible story. I wish you all the happiness in the world for your life together! x

Rachel & Alexander | Wedding

June 19, 2014 · 15 Comments

This is a day everyone involved had waited for a long time! Rachel & Alexander were supposed to get married the year before, but due to health reasons had to postpone their date. The silver lining in this was that, while I wasn’t available on their original date, I was on the new one. And I am so so glad I got to be a part of this truly magical day.

Northbrook Park looked better than ever, with the gardens in full bloom and the weather showing us it’s best. Add to that the amazingness that Steph aka Fairy Nuff Flowers created, she really outdid herself with the amazing flower arrangements! Rachel looked gorgeous in her Phillippa Lepley wedding gown and Jimmy Choo (of course!) shoes, and she completely took Alex’s breath away when coming down the aisle.

It was such a pleasure to work with wedding planner Always Andri and Jacaranda catering again. Othes I need to mention are The Cake Parlour, who was responsible for the amazing cake, and Louise Richardson who created the adorable stationary. Chrystal Palace String Quartet provided beautiful music throughout the day, until night fell and none other than The Wedding Smashers took to the decks and got everyone on the dance floor. I don’t know how they do it, but it just always happens like magic!

Northbrook Park is one of those place where I really wouldn’t mind working every weekend if I had to. But I am so glad it was this particular weekend, and this particular couple. Thank you so much Rachel and Alexander for having us share your gorgeous day with you! xo

Louise & Ian | Wedding

December 10, 2013 · 6 Comments

On a crisp, beautiful November day, Louise & Ian got married at the gorgeous Fawsley Hall in Northamptonshire. The scenery and the hall itself were spectacular, but couldn’t really compete with Louise in her sparkling Esme gown by Jenny Packham and bespoke Emmy Shoes, surrounded by her absolutely adorable bridesmaids!

When it came to prettying up the place even more, Steph Turpin from Fairy Nuff Flowers pulled out all the stops with the amazing flowers on the day. After several years, it was also a pleasure to work with Gorgeous Films again. Thank you for all the giggles guys.

One of the big surprises of the evening was when Tunbridge Wells Ukulele Night Thing turned up to perform and proceeded to blow the guests minds. What a fun way to get the party started!

Thank you Lou & Ponty for having us along! It was such a brilliant day! x

Ali & Duncan | Wedding

November 22, 2013 · 24 Comments

Ali & Duncan’s wedding took place in one of the most charming locations I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting, Harold’s House in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. Perched on a top of a cliff, with beautiful views across the beach and the Pacific Ocean, it’s no surprise the house has been used for filming and photo shoots, such as Rihanna’s cover shoot for Vogue and for an episode of Californication among many other things.

Since Ali & Duncan were having a Jewish wedding on a Saturday, the ceremony had to take place after sunset. This meant for a slightly unusual order of events, including a first look portrait session, and cocktail hour before the ceremony.

If the house was stunning, so was Ali. She looked absolutely breathtaking in her Lazaro gown and Jimmy Choos! Chris Albanese from Argyle Events was in charge of everything running perfectly, and he was a joy to work with. Caterers Roomforty created some out of this world dishes, while Twig & Twine was in charge of the flowers, and The Butter End for the beautiful cake.

Another thing that made this wedding special was that we shot it together with the talented Nick Ray, who is a part of my new associate team.

Thank you so much Ali & Duncan for having us! It was such a pleasure and privilege, and please do send us some more of that Californian sunshine, I miss it so! x

Rita & Craig | Wedding

November 13, 2013 · 8 Comments

I love an opportunity to travel to the West Country, so I was looking forward to Rita & Craig’s wedding day at Tunnels Beaches in Devon for ages, and this gloriously sunny October day was certainly worth the wait!

The day started with bumping into familiar faces, as the ladies from Changing Faces were in charge of makeup and hair. Rita then got dressed in her beautiful Charlie Brear gown and cool Chie Mihara shoes from Lula Bilbao. The pretty bouquets and flower arrangements were from The Somerset Flower Farm and Rita & Craig had designed their cute invites themselves.

Arriving to the beach via a tunnel opening to a most gorgeous view in front of you, was really something special. I have to say this is one of the prettiest, and most unusual, places I’ve seen to get married in, especially when the weather is nice! The staff taking care of the catering were also brilliant and helpful, making sure everything ran on time but in a relaxed atmosphere.

The tables with their mismatching linens and little animals echoing the cute invites Rita & Craig had designed were absolutely adorable. The wedding sign and placecards by First Snow Fall, and personalised BerinMade stamps added to the prettiness, as did the beautiful cake by Rosanne Hollowell.

Rita & Craig’s day was a coming together of two families, and two countries (UK & Spain) and cultures, and this made for such a joyful celebration. Despite the at times nippy October air, the day was full of warmth and laughter. Thank you so much for letting us be a part of it all Rita & Craig! x

Julie & Ryan | Wedding

October 17, 2013 · 10 Comments

Julie & Ryan’s wedding day was full of treats of all kinds. Not only did it take place at one of the yummiest venues, Preston Court, our eyes were spoiled with the prettiest decorations from little hearts dotting the grass to cute origami birds hanging above, not to mention the gorgeous Euphoric Flowers blooms. A veritable prettiness heaven.

We began the day at Goss Hall where Julie got ready with the help of Kit Hall and her bridesmaids. I just loved Julie’s beautiful Naomi Neoh gown (from The Bespoke Wardrobe) and the bridesmaids deliciously coloured dresses.

The treats didn’t end with the visual touches. Julie & Ryan are big foodies, so their guests got treated to a tasting menu by Ben Spalding, definitely one of the most imaginative (and longest!) wedding breakfasts I’ve ever witnessed. The amazing Rosalind Miller cake finished the meal with flair. When the night fell, Soulshine got up on stage to get the party started.

Thank you so much Julie & Ryan for having us be a part of your gorgeous day! It truly was a pleasure. xo

Tracey & Hardip | Wedding

September 5, 2013 · 5 Comments

Tracey & Hardip’s wedding at Northbrook Park was a real coming together of two families and cultures. There were both Chinese and Indian traditions, such as a tea ceremony and a sagan, integrated into the day, plus a beautiful outside ceremony in the garden.

The day began with Tracey getting ready in one of the cabins, where the fabulous Mariam Jensen was in charge of make-up and Tracey’s cousin Jenny Liu of hair. Tracey had more than one knockout outfits for the day (plus of course two pairs of gorgeous Jimmy Choos!), her main gown being a breathtaking Elie Saab creation.

Wedding Planner: Carmen Yuen-Stevenson was an absolute star, making sure that everything ran perfectly and taking brilliant care of us all. Sanctuary Catering was responsible for the food and the amazing Euphoric Flowers for the gorgeous flower arrangements and bouquet. And the cake, oh the cake! It was pretty much love at first sight for me when I saw the stunning ombre cake by Rachelle’s. It was also much fun working with videographer Simon Clarke (and his lovely wife Anna).

When the evening fell, one of the biggest surprises of the day came when Hardip announced his favourite band, The Brand New Heavies, was there to perform for everyone. What a spectacular ending to a perfect day!

Thank you so much Tracey & Hardip, we loved every minute of your gorgeous day! x

Beidi & Tanzib | Wedding

September 2, 2013 · 3 Comments

The amazing Mr. Ed Peers joined me as a second shooter for Beidi & Tanzib’s super cute wedding at Winchester House in Putney. The whole day was such a labour of love, with all the handmade details, stationery designed by Beidi, and family and friends helping to pull everything together. It was a small and perfectly formed affair.

After a ceremony in the garden, conducted by a friend, and drinks on the grass, the reception took place inside where Beidi had created the perfect setting with long tables filled with gorgeous flowers and the cutest details. When the evening fell The Street Swing Band created an intimate atmosphere under the adorable lanterns.

Thank you so much Beidi & Tanzib for having us share in your special day! x

And thank you Ed for being incredible as always. P.S. Ed is guest speaking again at this year’s mnoo school workshop on October 14-15, come join us!

Claire & Geoffroy | Wedding

August 30, 2013 · 1 Comment

Oh, August! How hectic you have been. Let’s try to get this blogging business back on track.

For Claire & Geoffroy’s wedding we headed to luscious East Sussex, where Claire and the girls got ready at her family home in the gorgeous village of Ditchling. The talented and ever so lovely Sadaf Ahmad was in charge of make-up and Kaz Kelly-Marques of hair. Claire’s amazing gown was by Mia Sposa, and she wore the prettiest Christian Louboutin heels as a nod to Geoffroy’s nationality and the fact that the couple lives in Paris. Shimizu Flowers was responsible for the beautiful flowers.

After a ceremony at St Margaret’s Church in Ditchling, we headed to Pangdean Barn in Pyecombe for the reception, where the garden was bursting with colours, and inside the barn was aglow with fairy lights and happy faces.

Thank you Claire & Geoffroy for having us along, what a gorgeous day it was! x

Jess & Luke | Wedding

August 28, 2013 · 3 Comments

One of the many reasons Jess & Luke’s wedding felt so special was all the familiar faces present on the day. I’d previously shot Jess’s best friend’s Lucy’s wedding (and prior to that Lucy’s brother David’s wedding), so despite our journey all the way to beautiful Dorset, it all felt very homey indeed.

After getting her makeup & hair (with stunning hair pieces by Gillian Million) done by Lillie Lindh, and slipping into her Jenny Packham gown & Rachel Simpson shoes, Jess and the girls headed to the beautiful ceremony at St Nicholas Church in Studland. Once Jess & Luke had exchanged their I do’s all the guests followed the wedding party on foot to the reception at the gorgeous Harry Warren House, situated on top of a gorgeous cliff overlooking the ocean. It really was a stunning setting for a wedding, chosen because it’s where Luke used to spend the summers of his childhood. Nomad was in charge of the catering, the flowers and the cake, while the stationery was created by Honeytree Publishing. The glittery photo booth by Boothnation was one of the coolest ones I’ve ever seen.

The sun shone, the sea glittered, and the smiles were wide. This was a day of such joy that we felt very sad to head back to rainy London afterwards. Thank you Jess & Luke, and your lovely families. Here’s to the rest of your lives! x

Florence & Alvaro | Wedding

August 20, 2013 · 18 Comments

Florence & Alvaro’s absolutely beautiful wedding in France was all kinds of hot, and not just because of the temperature. The whole trip, which began with Florence’s friend, the lovely Cécile, showing us around Toulouse (and then pretty much working as a second assistant throughout the wedding!) before heading out to the countryside for the main event, was just amazing.

The morning of the wedding day started at Florence’s family home in her hometown of Aubiac, where Christine Brunel attended to her hair and Soin de Soie did her make-up. She then stepped into her beautiful gown from Sadoni (bought in Metal Flaque in Paris) and Charles IX Solveig shoes (from Repetto in Paris). Her stunning bouquet was made by Gali M. She looked adorable, so very gorgeous.

After the (hot, very hot) ceremony in Aubiac, the most gorgeous reception followed at Jardins de Coursiana in La Romieu. These gardens were just magical, blooming with all sorts of gorgeousness, with lemon and peach trees to boot. Roseraie de Provent was in charge of the flower arrangements and Alain Tarbe for catering, while Florence herself had made all the paper decorations (using Adeline Klam origami paper), something that evidently kept her busy for many many months prior to the wedding. The whole day was a buzz of different languages, as there were guests from all over due to Florence (French-Spanish) and Alvaro’s (Italian-Peruvian) heritage.

I don’t think I could imagine a more perfect setting for a wedding, nor could I imagine a sweeter or kinder couple than Florence and Alvaro. It was such a pleasure and privilege to be a part of this wedding, and also to meet such a wonderful soul as Cécile. Thank you so much for everything lovelies! x

Caroline & Andrew | Wedding

July 19, 2013 · 21 Comments

A beautiful summer’s day, a blooming English garden, some ice cream & Pimm’s and a beaming bride and groom – this is what good days are made of. Caroline & Andrew’s wedding was an absolute joy from start to finish.

Getting ready at her parents house, Caroline and her bridesmaids were made to look (even more) gorgeous by the talented Gemma Sutton who was in charge of makeup and hair. When Caroline finally got into her beautiful wedding gown by The Vintage Wedding Dress Company, slipped on her shoes and veil, and held her amazingly pretty bouquet by Kate Avery Flowers, she looked absolutely breathtaking.

After a ceremony at St Bartholomew’s Church in Haslemere, we headed back to the house where the garden had been transformed into the perfect venue for a cocktail party and where Daisy the Vintage Ice Cream Van was waiting for us, before moving into the prettiest marquee for the wedding breakfast. It was such a joy to see the adorable stationery designed by my former bride Flo of Charlie Scribble, and more gorgeous flowers by Kate Avery filling the space. Tandem Catering was in charge of the food, and took brilliant care of us, too. The gorgeous cake was by Rosalind Miller. One of the special touches of the day was a surprise where one person from each table had been chosen to be the designated carver for the dinner, complete with getting kitted out in chef’s outfits (which were such a hit some didn’t take them off all night!).

After the first dance, we went for a last hunt for the setting sun with the couple and Aaron from Reel Weddings (who was such a pleasure to work with, can’t wait to see the film he’ll produce!), trying to capture every last inch of the magic of the day. As the night fell, Supatight got people on the dance floor, and that’s where we left Caroline & Andrew, heading home feeling warm and fuzzy after a perfect day.

Thank you so much Caroline & Andy for having us, it was a huge huge pleasure to bear witness to your happiness! x

Sarah & Sam | Wedding

July 9, 2013 · 5 Comments

Like any good adventure, Sarah & Sam’s wedding day started bright and early, when we met up at the train station with Mark Brown and started our trip down to Somerset, armed with sandwiches, percy pigs and lots of catching up to do on the way there. There is no such thing as a boring train trip with Mr. Brown.

The setting for the day was Orchardleigh House in Frome, and you really couldn’t have wished for anything more gorgeous, what a stunning venue! There was a short ride to and from the enchanting St Mary’s Church for the ceremony, before kicking off the cocktail party in the sunny garden, followed by reception inside among the most beautiful flower arrangements. Alongside a cheese theme for the tables (inspired by the magnificent cheese cake), an English-Australian theme ran through the wedding day due to Sarah’s and Sam’s (and the guests’) nationalities. There was even an English-Australian dictionary at each table which was a fun touch!

Thank you so much Sarah & Sam for having us be a part of your beautiful day! And thank you Mark & Susanna for the adventure and the giggles, always the best. x
