Creative wedding, couple & family reportage photography covering Cornwall, London, UK and overseas
On the pages of a special photography supplement inside the latest issue of You & Your Wedding I, alongside a few other UK photographers, had the pleasure of answering some questions about wedding photography. Also in the supplement there was a lovely feature on Daphne & Rom’s Manchester wedding. If you want to take a closer look, the issue is available at newsagents now.
Sometimes, even in London, the light decides to co-operate. And even though that magic moment might only last for ten minutes, it is so so sweet when it happens. The day when Daphne & Rom travelled down to London for their post-wedding session, started off gloomy and dark. When I arrived at Green Park the sky was looking very ominous indeed and I was sure it was going to start raining any minute. But that luckily wasn’t meant to be. When Daphne and Rom arrived, there was suddenly a shift in the clouds, and this beautiful beam of sunlight just appeared from nowhere. I mean, how often does that kind of thing happen?
It was lovely, and somewhat surreal, seeing Daphne and Rom again, dressed as they were in the wedding finery like when I’d last seen them on their wedding day, but in completely different surroundings. And even though the sun disappeared almost as quickly as it had appeared, we had a lot of fun catching up and roaming the streets of London. And I think we got some pretty special photos as a result as well.
Thank you Daphne and Rom, for your killer style, for being so sweet, and for letting me do my thing. I do hope you like your photos!
For Daphne & Rom’s wedding we got to travel up to Manchester. The wedding festivities took place between two hip hotels, the Hilton Manchester Deansgate, where the couple got ready and where they later returned to for the reception, and the Midland Hotel, where their ceremony took place in the opulent French room.
Everything about this small and funky city wedding was done with such style. Daphne looked absolutely stunning in her Mahon dress from Pronovias. Her beautifully fresh and pure looking bouquet of ranunculus and gypsophelia was created by Verdure.
I really enjoyed our portrait session, which allowed me to take in some of the sights as well. This was the first time I’ve ever visited Manchester, and if there’s one thing I’ll always remember about the city, it has to be the wind. Oh my, it was just something else! I don’t know whether it was just that particular day, or whether it’s always that windy over there… I guess I’ll find out on my upcoming second visit to the city next month.
A few weeks after the wedding Daphne and Rom travelled down to London for my first every post-wedding session. Stay tuned, as I’ll be posting the results from that session at some point tomorrow!
Daphne got married to Rom in Manchester…
