Beautiful Upnor Castle on the banks of the Medway saw the marriage of Joanne & Lee. Wedding photography at Upnor castle has amazing opportunities as there are plenty of locations such as tunnels, stone arches and a spiral staircase. Upnor Castle is owned by English Heritage, who also own fantastic venues for wedding photography such as Eltham Palace and The Rangers House among many.

Anyway, back to Joanne & Lee who had a beautiful ceremony in a candlelit part of the castle, followed by a reception at Judds Folly in Faversham. As a surprise, Jo had arranged for a gaming room to be set up in at the venue for the lads to chance their arm with lady luck!

Well Jo & Lee, I wish you both the best of luck with your life together.

Every London wedding photographer should have Islington Town Hall in their portfolio as it is one of the iconic London wedding venues. Situated on Upper St in the heart of trendy Islington, this is one of the coolest venues going frequented by the chic & famous as well as everyday Islington folk.
So while I’m not a celebrity wedding photographer, treading in the footsteps of Paul & Linda McCartney today, saw Nicola & Dave in a beautiful ceremony in this amazing March sunshine. A lovely couple, Nicola looked stunning in her dress, very stylish and a beautiful smile, she was a photographers dream.
So Islington Town Hall? No parking, multiple weddings (every 20 min!), reception elsewhere (still with no parking), Middle of a High St, sounds like a photographers nightmare? Well for me, I absolutely loved it and can’t wait for the next one!

Following a civil ceremony, Saleha and Richard had a traditional Muslim wedding. Every Indian wedding photographer must love the theatre and ceremony that accompanies a traditional Indian wedding with all the colour and excitement, and this one did not disappoint! Saleha looked amazing in her wedding outfit and showed typical Indian hospitality by insisting we stay and eat with them. The day was far removed from most weddings I cover and a great experience I loved being a part of.

Today saw the wedding of Tatum and Gareth. Being the photographer at their Oaks Farm wedding was great fun and Tatum & Gareth were a real joy to work with. For a March wedding, the weather in Croydon was fantastic for photography and made a real difference to the couples day. It enabled us to do the majority of the wedding photography outdoors, as Surrey was basking in sunshine.

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 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.

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!

As well as shooting a lovely set of family portraits for Hooman the dentist, I had to do some profile shots for Charlie and his colleague for Linkedin. It amazes me how many people are happy to promote themselves on Linkedin, Facebook etc, and then have dodgy profile pictures!

Well done Charlie for acknowledging this and having decent photos taken for you and Julie



Not that it was raining in the studio, but Tiffany still felt the need for wet weather gear!
