I meet Aanija and Alex for their London engagement session during that crazy heatwave we had the other week. Despite slightly melting behind the camera, I had a totally gorgeous evening with them exploring the muse streets and cute little gardens around Kensington…
Alice & Paul's wedding at Hampton Court House
September is one of the best months to get married in. I dare say so - I got got married in September myself!

Alice and Paul’s wedding at Hampton Court House took place on one of those perfect early autumn days…

A family shoot in Richmond
We had to postpone Lucy and her family’s photo shoot so many times due to lockdown, it was almost a year after she original booked that we finally managed to go ahed with it. And what a stunning afternoon we were rewarded with! It had been drizzling on and off all day, and we nearly decided to postpone again. But all of a sudden the clouds parted…
Savannah & Phillip's Auckland engagement shoot at Karekare
I was slightly blown away by how gorgeous an engagement session I had with these two back in February this year. I had just arrived in Auckland the day before after a long flight from the UK, and there is no other way of putting it - I was very jet lagged! I know that once I start working I always get into my zone…
A&D's post-wedding shoot along the Southbank
A&D married during the height of the pandemic in a tiny registry office ceremony. They really wanted a fun shoot around Central London, but the timing just didn’t feel right then. So we postponed their photo shoot..
Mu and Nick's engagement shoot in Hampstead
Back in the late summer, I spent a gorgeous evening with Nick and Mu, taking their engagement photos in Hampstead. First, they showed me around their local neighbourhood and backstreets of Hampstead…

London elopement ideas and inspiration
If you’re planning a wedding for 2020 and early 2021, you are probably having to consider all sorts of options and Plan Bs and Cs right now. I have been photographing micro weddings and elopements in London for years, and I’ve always loved them for their intimacy and slower paced, relaxed vibe.
Jota,David (and baby bump) at Old Marylebone Town Hall
I was really happy when Jota and David told me they were going for lunch at St Pancras after their wedding ceremony at the Old Marylebone Town Hall. I had been due to take photos at Coal Drops Yard for an elopement just before Christmas
Sophie & Richard's wedding at Chelsea Old Town Hall and the RAC
Sophie and Richard’s wedding at the Chelsea Old Town Hall was one of the few weddings I photographed this summer that wasn’t a postponement. They decided to get married just before their baby arrived, booked it, and it happened…
Ozge & Mahmut at Hackney Town Hall
I’m so lucky to photograph weddings of people from all over the world and learn about their customs and cultures along the way. I had never photographed a Turkish wedding before, and loved every minute of it - so much family, laughter, dancing and fun, plus the most delicious food!
Lorna and Nick's tipi wedding at Coverwood Lakes Surrey
I’m totally in love with farmyard and tipi weddings. They can be as formal or not as you want them to be - I think just being outdoors in a big field surrounded by nature makes everyone feel happy, relaxed and in the mood for a party…
Georgie & Josh at Millbridge Court Farnham
Third time lucky - Georgie and Josh were finally able to get married at Millbridge Court in the company of all their family and friends last August. I reckon it was a day worth waiting for, as the weather was perfect (warm but not too hot) and everyone was in an extra happy mood with pandemic restrictions just having been lifted…
Amy & Michael's elopement wedding at Brighton Town Hall
After nearly four months of lockdown, getting on the train to Brighton for Amy and Michael’s wedding felt like quite an adventure. It was so good to have a change of scenery…
