Lucy & Richard – Ceremony | Wedding

May 3, 2009 · 2 Comments

The ceremony of Lucy and Richard’s wedding took place in St James Garlickythe in the City of London. Since Lucy and Richard live so close to the church, all they had to do in order to get there was walk over the road! The ceremony was beautiful and very intimate, yet the church gave it a grand atmosphere. Lucy was beautiful in her unique grey gown, and Bridie the bridesmaid behaved commendably.

It’s going to take a while longer to process the pictures from the reception, hopefully I’ll get some up early next week! And can I once again say a big thank you to my assistant/second shooter Susanna, who once again did a stellar job as my right-hand woman.

Stephanie & Rob – Portraits | Wedding

We have finally come to the last instalment from this wedding. There wasn’t much time to take portraits of Steph and Rob, but we did manage to sneak out from the Temple into one of the beautiful stairwells of the Andaz for a few shots. Just how gorgeous is Steph!

With this, I’d like to once again thank Stephanie and Rob for letting me be a part of this beautiful and special wedding. I wish you guys have as gorgeous a life together as your wedding day was!

Stephanie & Rob – The Temple | Wedding

April 2, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Now then, you remember how I was saying this was a challenging venue to work in. You might have been wondering where exactly the challenge was. Let me introduce The Temple. Yes, the Andaz boasts a century old Masonic Temple, now thought to be grandest in England, with Grade II listed marble and mahogany. When the hotel was sold for refurbishment it was so run-down the previous owners had never discovered the temple as it was boarded behind a fake wall. Some believe Jack the Ripper was a Mason and would have attended this temple as it was closest to his hunting ground.

But yes, a temple with walls made out of dark marble, no windows, no artificial light sources, just candles. I could hardly see anything through the viewfinder! My assistant did an awesome job running around with an off camera flash, without her I don’t think there would be any pictures to show.

Stephanie & Rob – Champagne reception | Wedding

After the ceremony, there was a champagne reception at the Gallery, which is a stunning modern space with an enormous glass roof and that funky circular atrium you saw in the test pictures. It’s a bit of a shock to the system to move through the different areas of the Andaz, it’s like jumping back and forth through time. I hope you’re not getting bored with the pictures from this wedding, still two instalments to come!

Stephanie & Rob – Ceremony | Wedding

The ceremony of Steph & Rob’s wedding took place in the Fenchurch room of Andaz Liverpool Street. It was a gorgeous setting, with rose pedals and candle light creating a romantic atmosphere. Even though I was there to work, even I got a bit emotional at some point!

Stephanie & Rob – Getting ready | Wedding

March 29, 2009 · 4 Comments

I’m going to process (and blog) Steph & Rob’s wedding in separate instalments. Since the day was quite clearly divided into separate sections – and spaces – it makes it easier to attack the processing in batches. So here’s the first instalment, where Steph is getting ready for the big day.

The wedding was a total blast, but I’ll tell more about in the future posts. I’ve been sitting in front of the computer pretty much all day now and could really use a break… So, watch this space! :D

P.S. I just had to add, thank you so much to my wonderful assistant/second shooter, who was absolutely indispensable in this difficult venue (as you will find out in later instalments!), and also, thank you so much to Steph and Rob for letting us share your day with you!
