Maesha & Pete – Reception | Wedding

· Leave a Comment

The reception of Maesha & Pete’s wedding at Glaziers Hall went by in a whirlwind of speeches and good food. Time completely ran away from us (as it generally tends to do at weddings) and we had to rush through our little portrait shoot on London Bridge at breakneck speed. It was a real effort trying to control the constant flow of people (thank you Susanna for doing a brilliant job at that!), navigating through the traffic with Maesha’s heavy gown, and getting the shots I wanted – all in 15 minutes!

























Maesha & Pete – Ceremony | Wedding

· 1 Comment

Maesha and Pete got married in a humanist ceremony at Glaziers Hall in London Bridge. Despite a hot and summery start to the week, by their wedding day the weather had turned chilly and grey, which made me worry to begin with. However, the weather did nothing to dampen the spirits of this wedding, which was one of the most fun weddings I’ve ever attended! Even though the day was long, and physically exhausting (entailing things like running backwards across London Bridge!), the wonderful energy of everyone involved really made the day whizz by. Stay tuned for more photos from the reception, and the evening party on board a boat on the Thames!





























We love… Rock ‘n Roll Bride

· 5 Comments







A while back I asked Kat, of Rock ‘n Roll Bride fame, to take part in a personal photography project of mine. She was all up for it, and I’m really pleased with the results (which can be seen in my personal portfolio). Somehow Kat managed to persuade me to also take some portraits of her with balloons (despite me protesting about balloons having been done to death :P), and these shots are what came out of that session. It was a blindingly bright and super hot day, not really ideal for an afternoon shoot, but I do like how a fair few of these came out, and I guess I’ll have to admit that the balloons are pretty cute. :D Also, doesn’t her hair just kick some serious ass!

The Big I Do Redo Charity Auction

· Leave a Comment


THE BIG I DO REDO is the brain child of wedding photographer Julia Boggio, the notorious ‘Dirty Dancing Bride’ behind THAT YouTube video of her wedding dance, which went on to take the world by storm receiving over 5 million hits and counting. Since then Julia has appeared on television shows across the world, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, where Julia danced with none other than Patrick Swayze himself! I can’t tell you how jealous I am of that fact… dancing with Patrick Swayze used to be one of my biggest aspirations when I was a teenager. I saw Dirty Dancing in the cinema nearly 20 times and my bedroom walls were plastered with posters of him!

When Patrick was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Julia decided to organise a nationwide charity fundraising event that celebrated love. As one of the UK’s top wedding photographers, Julia is always hearing her brides say that they’d love to wear their gowns again. Thus THE BIG I DO REDO was born!

Julia says, ‘I hope that this event will capture the imaginations of people across Britain. The day is about celebrating love in all its forms. Please do get involved.’

Julia chose two cancer charities to be the beneficiaries:
Macmillan Cancer Support, and Pancreatic Cancer UK, who will also benefit from the eBay Auction.

I am donating an engagement shoot for the auction. I say ‘engagement’ shoot, but obviously it’s not really that literal. Just as long as you’re a couple, and in love, I would love to capture some beautiful pictures of you together whether you’re newly engaged or already married. Please visit and place your bid here:

Sarah & Dan | Engagement

· 2 Comments

Sarah and Dan are pretty special. They were the first ever couple to book me, after I’ve had my website live for just a few weeks. I can’t tell you how fantastic it makes me feel that they would put their faith in me on the biggest day of their lives, knowing that I was only starting up my business back then. They’re the type of annoyingly organised people who booked last year for their wedding this August, so it’s taken a while for us to get around to organising their engagement shoot. Yesterday, on a swelteringly hot day, we finally headed off to Regent’s Park for some photos. The park was absolutely heaving with sun worshipping people, and it took quite a lot of walking trying to find seemingly secluded nooks and crannies in the vast park. And did I mention that it was h-o-t! :D

We also went to have a quick look at their wedding venue, The Landmark Hotel, which was just around the corner. What sumptuous surroundings to have a wedding in, it was truly gorgeous in there. I can hardly wait for the day, it’s going to be awesome!
