I first met Melissa three years ago at a wedding I photographed in Scotland. I then met Melissa again with Steven in January this year at another wedding, and we talked about their wedding planned for later in the year in Thurlestone in South Devon. My wife and I have been coming to Thurlestone with our children for many years and we know the area well. For more more information of wedding photography.
Coincidentally Melissa and Steven had booked their wedding on the same weekend we had planned to arrive for our holiday in Devon which worked out very well. So I’m writing this blog while on holiday, the weather has been great so far and we will be back in London this weekend.
Melissa and Steven are moving house next week and will probably take a holiday later in the year.
Fiona and Matthew were married on Saturday in Central London. The ceremony was held in the crypt in St. Paul’s Cathedral and the reception at Fiona’s parents house in Hampstead. Find out more about our wedding photography here.
The guests were taken by two beautifully restored Routemaster buses from the ceremony to the reception along with the Fiona and Matthew on board. Drinks were served on the bus by Matthew’s groomsmen which made the trip more fun for everyone. Fiona’s mother had made a fantastic job of dressing up the marquee in the garden and we left the party when it was in full swing at about 11pm.
Fiona is a work colleague of Madelaine Davis whose wedding I shot three years ago, and I met Fiona and Matthew in February this year.
Fiona and Matthew will take their honeymoon in Edinburgh where Matthew’s father lives.
Emma and James made the best of the weather yesterday and we were able to get some great photographs of them and their guests in the rain. Find out more about our Wedding photography here.
St. Mary’s church in Battersea is one of the few churches in London that is next to the river and fortunately as Emma and James had provided their guests with umbrellas we were able to take some of the group shots alongside the Thames.
We all made our way by Routemaster bus to the One Aldwych Hotel, a much drier location, where a fantastic reception was held.
Emma and James are planning to go on honeymoon next weekend to Malta.
Charlotte’s father has a garage full of classic cars at their home in Weybridge Surrey. Max lives next door and is his father is also a big car enthusiast. It is a classic boy and girl next door story and you can tell by the way Charlotte and Max are together that they are a perfect couple. Find out more about our wedding photography.
We made good use of the cars and above is one of the many shots that were taken on Saturday. The rain threatened to disrupt things at times during the day but it added to the fun with guests and the family dodging showers in and out of the marquee. I met Charlotte and Max at two weddings I photographed last year in Scotland and they came to see me at my studio in January.
They are off on honeymoon on Tuesday next week.
Over the years I have photographed a number of weddings at The Church at the end of Lombard Street, it is a beautiful intimate space and has a wide entrance set of steps ideal for relaxed group and confetti shots.
I’m always surprised how little traffic there is in the city at the weekend, and you could see Caroline arriving with her father in her white London taxi from some way away.
They had a fantastic day with their family and friends and they are off on honeymoon to the lake district on Wednesday.
I have met Caroline and Paul a number of times at their friends weddings during the last year and they booked me last September at a wedding where Caroline was maid of honour and Paul was an usher. Find out more about my wedding photography services here.
Simon and Karon have been buying my photographs for years and they have a large collection of my London and New York photographs in their house in Clapham, South West London. I was very pleased when they asked me to photograph their wedding. For More information on wedding photography go to my dedicated wedding photography site.
Saturday was a windy but otherwise a sunny day and the confetti shots on the steps of The Chelsea Town Hall were excellent. The party moved morved across the road to the Bluebird restaurant where they had their reception.
Simon and Karon will take their honeymoon in New Zealand later in the year.
The Crypt as St. Paul’s Cathedral allows relatives of those who have been awarded an OBE to get married there, the crypt is also known as the OBE chapel. Jessica and Charles in fact met at an event St. Paul’s Cathedral two years ago and so getting married there was particularly relevant.
I met them both with Jessica’s mother at my Battersea studio last December and I’m told that since then Jessica and Charles have been to an incredible fifteen weddings! So, having seen what others have done at their weddings the couple had a pretty good idea of what they wanted to achieve and I they think they pulled it off in great style.
