Jordanne and Toby have their Shoreditch wedding fast approaching so today saw the engagement shoot. Can’t give anything away, but I’m really excited about this one, will be uber cool & trendy! Anyway, back to todays shoot, we started in Spitalfields and headed towards Shoreditch to check out the venue. Did I mention I’m exited about shooting a wedding in Shoreditch House??? J&T were a little nervous at first, but soon got into it & were good fun to work with.

No pressure on me, Jordanne’s dad is a great photographer and her sister is currently doing a photography degree in New York!

One of the great things about being a London wedding photographer is the choice and variety of locations and this whole area is a goldmine.

Did I mention I’m looking forward to this one……..

Presented Chloe & Ross with their wedding photos today, including a slideshow. Think I can comfortably say they were thrilled, as were we to have been a part of their day and to have produced some great images.

Sunday saw the wedding of Chloe & Ross. After doing their engagement shoot nearly a year ago, I was really excited about their Kent wedding. It was great to be part of their special day & Chloe & Ross really got into their wedding photos. I now have the job of editing and can’t wait to share the final images with them.
If I overuse the term ‘a lovely couple’ it’s because most of the couples I photograph seem to be exactly that! Chloe & Ross were no exception and an absolute joy to work with. Chloe & Ross, I wish you all the best in your new life together.
Little Silver Country Hotel was a beautiful venue and as a London wedding photographer, it was good to get out into deepest darkest Kent and smell the fresh air! The people there made myself and Sarah really welcome and arranged a fantastic wedding ceremony.

Well a bit of a day off, it was Sunday after all! The working bit was checking out the wedding venue for next weeks wedding of Ross & Chloe at Little Silver Hotel in Tenterden, Kent. A really lovely part of the world, as a Greenwich wedding photographer, it’s good to get to venues I wouldn’t normally get to. Anyway, back to the day off. Myself & Sarah followed our trip to Tenterden by driving down to Winchelsea to catch the last of the days light. Quite surprised to see a number of starfish on the beach, the light was gorgeous & would have made a perfect backdrop for a beach wedding, albeit a little on the chilly side! Well we both managed a few shots between us, but this was my favourite from the day.

Tonight saw us fighting our way home in thick snow from an Essex Charity Ball. Event photography can be good fun, with everybody getting dressed up for the evening, all in the name of a good cause. Friern Manor Country Hotel is a fabulous venue and I’m sure it would be great to be a wedding photographer at Friern Manor.

Well the SWPP Convention draws to a close and as a South London wedding photographer, I thought it was a good couple of days. If you’re a cheap wedding photographer or a contemporary London wedding photographer, I’m sure you would have found something of interest. I’m sure all the best wedding photographers were there, along with the best London portrait photographers and the best portrait photographers full stop!

So many good photographers there, how would a wedding couple choose their photographer? I guess the two biggest ways would be either recommendations or google. But how would you search, a broad brush or quite specific? If you have your venue booked, you could refine it to that, for example, Sundridge Park Wedding Photographer would be a good one, or Cooling Castle Wedding Photographer. If you live in Essex, Stockbrook Manor Wedding Photographer would be a good one. Or you could just search by location such as Essex Wedding Photographer, or Kent Wedding Photographer.

Feel free to leave a comment & let me know. How did you find this site for example?

Not just the best wedding photographers in London, but from Kent, Essex, Surrey, Sussex, Middlesex, in fact, from all over the UK. Yes it’s that time of year again when the great and the good meet up in London’s Hammersmith for the Society of Wedding Photography Professionals, or SWPP Convention as it’s known. The likes of Julia Boggio, Nick Ghionis, Damian Lovegrove, Gordon McGowan, to name but a few, will all be lecturing there. As a Greenwich wedding photographer, Hammersmith is not to bad a journey for me, and so I along with many others will be making the annual trek next week. If you’re a wedding photographer London based, or any of the home counties, it’s well worth a visit. The journey for me, from Lewisham is pretty straight forward. I guess all the local wedding photographers will be there from Lee, Depford, Eltham, Sidcup, Dulwich, Brockwell, Bromley, Orpington.
Full report to follow.

One of the great things about shooting weddings is you meet some amazing people and sometimes they become friends. This is true of Ali & Richard, a real fun couple who made our day at their wedding not seem like work at all.

Probably my favorite moments of any wedding are just before the bride and groom get to see each other for the first time. The bride with her father, just before walking down the aisle and the groom anxiously waiting for his bride to appear. With Sarah being up front with Richard and myself sticking with Ali, we managed to capture both these memories of a wonderful day.





For a Blackheath wedding photographer, it was great to return to my roots and shoot a winter wedding in Essex

Had the privilege to shoot Maggie & Steve’s wedding today, great couple and Maggie looked stunning! Really pleased with how this worked out in the tight confines of a hotel room at Selsdon Park Hotel. Fantastic venue, amazing day, and some fantastic photos!

Today was spent at a Wedding Fair in Hampton Court. The iPad was on slideshow and I only realised once I got home, the photo on the stand is the same image as the one on display on the iPad!
