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.

Em & Ian brought little Eva over for a family portrait today. Making the trip from across the river, they could have chosen an Essex photographer, but I was pleased they came to Blackheath for their portrait photography and I’m sure they will be thrilled when they see the results.
Em & Ian wanted a good number of black & white photos, which suits my style perfectly & I was only to happy to oblige. I have to say, Eva was the perfect model, smiling throughout and not at all bothered by the studio lights constantly flashing.

So a big shoot at Uniqlo’s flagship UK store in Oxford St saw us photographing families to promote their brand new range, Uniqlo Undercover. This shoot was a lot of fun and something completely different from the norm. Family portraits, couples portraits, group portraits and kids portraits all rolled into a massive fashion shoot! Uniqlo had set up two backdrops, each with a huge gold frame to step inside for a portrait. I was stationed at one, while the hugely talented Jeremy Walker was photographing at the other one. Sarah was looking after the nerve centre where all the images were immediately beamed to via WiFi, (although I am aware she couldn’t resist taking a sneaky photo herself!). While I’m doing the credits, a huge thanks to Darren our runner on the day and Kat of Uniqlo who made sure everything ran to clockwork.
A great privilege to be involved in a project of this scale, Uniqlo Undercover has had a worldwide launch. The photos below represent a small portion of shots taken throughout what was a real fun day.

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.

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.

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

Jason & Tara at Chislehurst Chiropractic needed some new shots for their website and marketing strategy and I was happy to oblige. A great place to get your joints looked at, think doctors surgery meets 5* hotel and you’re on the right lines!

Here we have Jason, Tara and Rebecca in the reception.
