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 [...]
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 [...]
Increasingly, with weddings these days, there’s a push to reclaim the day from the industry juggernaut it can very easily become. More and more people are going for personal touches, the handmade and the homemade. And Jack and Angie’s has to be the most personal wedding I’ve shot to date. Not only was the church at [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
