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 [...]

This was one of those weddings where everything was right: the people, the location, the weather.  It was an absolute pleasure to be involved from start to finish.  Niki and Jim are warm, funny, have great taste in music (right down to Al Wilson’s Northern Soul classic The Snake at the disco) and the kind [...]

Below is Tracy and Rob’s gorgeous Fifties-styled Italian wedding, in the amazing (and amazingly hidden) St Peter’s Italian Church — a large, sumptuous, gilded Catholic church that somehow manages to lurk mostly unnoticed behind a line of fairly unprepossessing (okay, drab) cafes and offices on Clerkenwell Rd.  Running with the Italian theme, it was Rat Packesque [...]

Hello.  The title of this blog is not strictly true.  If you are one  of the many couples who got married without a swing band at your wedding reception your wedding still means just as much.

Somehow, booking over a year in advance, Gawain and Mary-Kate managed to land their wedding day on pretty much the only period of warm spring sunshine so far.  The day was absolutely perfect for a park wedding, bright blue skies, golden light, wispy clouds and pink Japanese blossom.  The day started out at the grand [...]

Below are the photos I shot for Charlotte, an instantly charming and chatty aspiring actress, who wanted a vintage look for her portfolio.  I knew ahead of time that Charlotte would be great for vintage, but I didn’t realise just how great until she rocked up in victory rolls and the best cheesecake pout this [...]

These are the photos taken from my latest wedding.  In Dorset, on a day that oscillated wildly between torrential downpours and brilliant sunshine.  Lucy is an amazing old friend.  In fact I was a writer when I met Lucy and didn’t even own a camera, so things have changed a little since then.  It was [...]

There’s an ineffable beauty to a great Holga image.  In part it’s the dreamy soft-focus that gives each image a genuinely vintage feeling.  The other part is it’s so damn hit-and-miss.  The Holga has two aperture settings — sunlight or cloudy (but basically really you need sunlight — and four vague, hard to pin down [...]
