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 [...]

So after the exoticism of recent weeks — destination weddings in Croatia, and Brazilian / Irish civil partnerships — we return to a more traditional English wedding, set below the baleful, louring clouds of Northern England.  In wedding photography terms this was Jeff Ascough territory — but Jeff Acough is just imitatin’…  Children were at the centre [...]

Sam and Luke’s fantastic wedding at the beautiful Botleys Mansion was my first Jewish wedding — and hopefully not my last.  The day was always going to be great, anyway.  Both Sam and Luke are very down-to-earth and wanted the whole thing to feel more like a party than a genteel (not gentile) wedding day, [...]

To call this a gay wedding feels a little redundant.  It was a wedding, plain and simple.  And beautiful.  In fact I’m only really calling it a gay wedding at all because I’m hoping the google bots will pick up on it.  I’d like some more please!  This wedding was one of the most glamorous [...]

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 [...]

If I told you, Dear Reader, that the wedding reception took place in an abandoned mansion with no electricity, where, for a long time a one-armed mannequin guarded a lamplit drawing room in which two ravens perched atop two bonewhite animal skulls while elsewhere two typewriters canoodled in the warm dark snuggery of their mahogany [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
