I took Lisa & Paul’s photography at Moor Park Mansion last autumn. Lisa looked stunning in her gorgous wedding dress and Moor Park is a visually stunning venue, located in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire.

Lizzie & Richard were married on a stunning day in August. Lizzie had a fabulous dress that reminded me of an outfit Ginger Rogers might wear in the traditional old musical movies from the 40’s or 50’s. I’m so glad they chose me to capture their wedding day. So much care and attention went into all the details and so it was truly lovely to photograph. Redcoats is a great location for those that want some special imagery of their wedding day. It has fantastic traditional rooms with original beams and lovely gardens. Redcoats is also surrounded by beautiful English countryside and it has an amazing barn next door which I couldn’t resist using in some of the wedding photography.

Paul & Miranda were married in a beautiful church in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. Their wedding reception was held in a magnificent marquee in Berkhamsted, herts also. They were such a sweet couple who were childhood sweethearts and their romance had carried on into their adult years. I shot a lot of gorgeous wedding photography on their special day. Here are a few of my favourite images.

I shot Mark & Sonja weddings photographs in London in July. They were married in a catholic church in Putney and they held their wedding reception at Putney Rowing club on the River Thames. Sonja had a gorgeous wedding dress but I have to say her shoes were just amazing -silver Gucci sequinned shoes with heels that went on forever. I’m a shoe girl myself and I wasn’t surprised to learn she spent more on her wedding shoes that her dress.

Location of Wedding: St Mary’s Parish Church, Amersham, Buckinghamshire. The wedding reception was held in a marquee on the grounds of a large farm in Chesham, Buckinghamshire.
Stuart and Louise were married on an incredible sunny day in July. The sky was so blue with lots white fluffy clouds. It made a fantastic backdrop for the wedding photographs.
Although bright sunny days are what people ideally want for their wedding day if you ask a photographer they will always prefer an overcast day as bright days are incredibly challenging exposure wise. It can be extremely difficult to achieve detail in the sky while exposing correctly for your main subject matter. A professional wedding photographer will always know how to achieve the best results whatever the conditions they find themselves shooting in even if it means taking several different exposures of the same scene. If its not possible to get all the details in the original photograph then I edit my wedding photography in my art-working process to achieve the exact image I am looking for with all the key details that ‘make’ the final image. Each wedding photograph I take goes through a strict quality control process to ensure the photographs are exactly how I want them to be and have my particular artistic style.

Mark & Shilpa were married at the end of May in a civil ceremony in London. They decided not to have photography at the official ceremony but opted to have a photographer at their humanist wedding ceremony held the day after. I shot the photography at The Amadeus Centre in Little Venice, North London. After the ceremony they threw a massive party.
This was such a great wedding to photograph, everything looked fantastic. Humanist ceremony’s are so interesting as their are no strict rules regarding locations and vowels. Mark and Shilpa had a really personal and moving humanist wedding ceremony and it was such a privilege to be selcted as their wedding photographer.

On a sunny day in March I travelled to Chenies in Buckinghamshire to photograph the wedding of Ron and Sue. They had quite an interesting story because although they had been together a number of years, this was the their second time together. After their first relationship ended they had met each other a number of years later and got together again. It was such a lovely story.
I was also surprised to see the same registrar that had conducted Lucie and Marco’s wedding. Although wedding photographers often meet the same registrars and priests etc at their regular shooting venues it is quite unusual to see them covering different geographical areas.
