Creative wedding, couple & family reportage photography covering Cornwall, London, UK and overseas
Elodie (or Eleanore as her public persona is called) & Vianney’s beautiful French forest wedding got featured in the May/June issue of You & Your Wedding magazine, which is available at newsagents now. Seeing the pictures again really suited the lovely sunshine and my summery mood today.
I first met Saleema & David what now seems like ages ago, when they booked me for their June 2011 wedding two years in advance. We’ve been meaning to do their engagement session ever since then, with the possible location changing more times than I can count. In the end we settled on doing the session in Vienna, as that’s where Saleema & David currently live. It was a bit of a fly-by visit for me, flying in in the morning and back home in the evening, but well worth it. It was so nice hanging out with these two beautiful people, and I absolutely loved Vienna (the night before I got so excited about the prospect of reliving one of my favourite movies, Before Sunrise, that I hardly got any sleep! :D), I will definitely be returning for a longer visit one day.
I can’t wait for Saleema & David’s London wedding in June, and will definitely be keeping an eye on Saleema’s blog in order to see what kind of things she has planned for the big day.
P.S. I’m so kicking myself right now for not having any of that mouthwatering cake!
I had an amazing time with Saleema & David at their engagement session in Vienna yesterday. I have a wedding edit to finish before I get properly stuck into the images, but I couldn’t resist showing you one little sneaky snap!
On a hot and humid Saturday in August (which later turned into the biggest thunder storm I’ve experienced in ages), Anu & Oka got married in Mission Church (Lähetyskirkko) in Helsinki. There were a few especially touching moments about the ceremony, one of these was when the couple read out vows they had written for each other, and another was when a Finnish artist Jippu sang her song ‘Jos sä tahdot niin’ to the couple.
I was originally over in Finland for a few days of holiday, but I couldn’t really say no when these two asked me to cover at least a part of their day. At four hours, this was hands down the shortest coverage I’ve ever provided at a wedding, but I’m quite happy with what we managed to cover in that time.
It was especially nice to have some time for portraits in the park on Observatory Hill (Tähtitorninmäki). I didn’t stay for too long at the reception at Klaus K, but long enough to experience the warm atmosphere that surrounded the small group of close family and friends who were gathered to celebrate the day with Anu and Oka.
I did mention earlier that Oka is a wedding photographer himself. If you’re looking for a photographer with a beautiful classic photojournalistic style (he does travel!), or just want to take a look at some gorgeous photographs, do visit his website!
Thank you Anu and Oka for letting me play a small part in your day. I wish you all the best in your next adventure together! x
The theme for Wendy and Martin’s evening engagement session in Paris was the Eiffel Tower, and I think we definitely managed to cover it from all sides! Paris really was putting on a beautiful show with it’s lights, and despite getting quite ill on this trip I did really enjoy our evening traipsing around the streets of Paris at night. We were supposed to hit some other sights the following morning but unfortunately my fever got so high that we made the decision to continue the session back in London at a future date. Oh by the way, did you know that if you are a newly-wed (or claim to be :P) you get to ride the carousel for free! Bonus.
