A scottish wedding in the queen’s own church, Crathie Kirk

This Scottish wedding dates all the way back to late last year, although the surroundings date back far longer.  The wedding ceremony was held in Crathie Kirk, near Balmoral Castle — and is where the Royal Family worship when they’re in the neighbourhood (plush, purple pew sits to one side and is cordoned off for [...]

skinner’s hall, city of london wedding

This wedding almost slipped through the cracks.  It goes back to last October, during the Indian summer heatwave.  The men were melting into their suits, and the women.. well the women seemed fine to be honest.  They were in summer dresses. The venue was Skinner’s Hall — one of the City of London’s Great Livery [...]

A Winter Wedding in Twickenham

This December wedding in Orleans House, Twickenham, was my third in the year.  The first two in bright sunshine, this third one in that kind of brittle, wintery light that ebbs and flows beneath the clouds.  A far cry then from Dubai, where Simone and Dave live these days (and will be currently, as they [...]

The Cad & The Dandy

Now that the photos have gone live on the Cad & The Dandy site I can finally blog about the shoot here — which, obviously, I’ve been itching to do for a while now.  This was a fashion shoot with a difference.  No models.  All the people in front of the camera are customers.  Both James [...]

best of 2011

I’m not entirely sure how to look back on 2011.  The dust still hasn’t quite settled on it yet, and to be honest, it was quite an amazing, bewildering year.  In my second full year as a professional photographer, I photographed weddings in five different countries (UK, Spain, Croatia, France and China), had a six-page [...]

Hong Kong Wedding, pt.3, The Wedding Day

This, as will become increasingly evident to you, as you scroll down the page and start to suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, is a big blog.  Huge.  There are a number of reasons for that.  And that number is the number 2.  1) It’s in Hong Kong, and 2) Claire and Sheilen are in Hong [...]

Hong Kong Wedding, pt2, Dragon’s Back Picnic

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s stag-do, but with a few desiccated brainpans and the odd absentee, comes the more sedate second day of Claire and Sheilen’s wedding weekender, with a walk over the Dragon’s Back (longer and windier than almost any of the party expected), finishing with a BBQ on the beach at Shek O for sunset. [...]

Hong Kong Wedding, pt1. The stag do..

It’s a brave man who invites a photographer on to his stag-do. And it’s an even braver man who okies that blog. I’ll be blogging this Hong Kong wedding weekend in three parts: Pt.1, The Stag Do; Pt.2, The Picnic; and Pt.3 The Wedding — which will go live on Christmas Day. They were all [...]

Lauren & Chris, Chiswick House

Chris and Lauren’s wedding was a perfectly pitched mix — a small, intimate wedding in grand surroundings.  The opulence of a Catholic church was followed by drinks and bowl food in the imposing grounds of Chiswick House, and yet the entire day was as relaxed and easy going as the couple themselves.  The reception was [...]

STOKE NEWINGTON WEDDING, EAST LONDON

I know.  I have been remiss.  I haven’t posted a new wedding blog in god knows how long.  (Although, okay, it wouldn’t take too long to find out.  I could just look at the date of the last entry.  But that’s not the point.)  And today isn’t even my Wedding Wednesday.  You must be completely disorientated.
