For sheer infectious joy in their own day Bradley and June’s wedding will take some beating. Neither of them stopped beaming the whole time. If happiness radiated out in sharp radial spokes a few people would have lost their eyes that day. (Luckily happiness does not radiate out in sharp radial spokes. It radiates out [...]
This was one of those weddings were the ingredients all just slot together effortlessly — great locations, a lovely, camera-friendly couple with their, let’s be honest, absurdly photogenic young daughter, beautiful light, and a quintet of young bridesmaids kicking the day off by singing Jessie J’s Do It Like a Dude with hilariously straight, wide-eyed [...]
This was my first male civil partnership (*see Jenny and Kelly’s Ibiza wedding for my first female one) and it could not have been easier. Not that I was expecting trouble — that kind of makes it sound like I was like, wow, my first gay wedding and not one gunfight. What I mean is [...]
Please arrive early and take your seats for Mark & Barbara’s extraordinary 1950s inspired wedding at MC Motors Dalston’s, hidden gem (yes, Dalston has a hidden gem..) — a 6,000 sq/ft of East London warehouse used primarily for fashion shoots. But I’m jumping ahead of myself… The day started for me (and Mark) in Bethnal [...]
Here we have my new blog, featuring a precocious Little Red Riding Hood who was perfectly wise beyond her years and probably the friendliest, twinkly-eyed bubba of a wolf you’re likely to meet. The whole thing took place in a mysterious forest in North London. Admittedly, it was mysterious because I was driven there and [...]
So then, with much trumpeting and royal fanfare (mostly my own) here are my photos from last Friday’s Royal Wedding of Prince William to the commoner, Kate Middleton. Clearly I should have been asked to shoot the wedding itself, but as that was not forthcoming I decided to appoint myself ‘The People’s Photographer’ and head [...]
This wedding was a pleasure to shoot, from start to finish. And not just because it was close enough to get there and back in a Hackney Carriage. Jeremy and Sue are a lovely couple (both lawyers, Sue chooses to spend her spare time flying light aircraft!) and the crowd were jovial and relaxed. The [...]
So as you emerge squinting and blinking into the numinous light of 2011, your dessicated brainpans scratching against your battered skulls like voles on a New Year’s crack detox, spare a thought for these poor forgotten photographs. For they are, My Best Beloved, already yesterday’s news. Consigned to the annals of history, fragments of fading [...]
They say never work with kids or animals, but I have to say that’s not my experience. I really like kids at weddings. They bring a real energy to the day. It’s like they’re having their own tiny prom as a satellite function just slightly separate from the main event. They’re dressed up, giddy, mischievous and it [...]
This was the most intimate wedding I’ve shot. A party of eight, including the bride and groom. Immediate family only. The day had the potential to be a little socially awkward for everyone. Both sets of parents had met the night before. Neil’s family being British and Leslie’s family having flown in from LA the [...]
