~~~ WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY ~~~ London – UK – Europe
I was recently in conversation with Wedding Planner Bernadette Chapman from Dream Occasions and she was asking me my opinion on wedding photography trends for the coming year. I identified three items that for me would be prominent in the coming year and you can read about them on the Dream Occasions blog.
Last weekend I went out of town and headed for Lincolnshire. Karin and Andy were married in a small ceremony 20 years ago and decided to celebrate their first two decades together by throwing a party for their friends and family at their home near Sleaford. They called in top planner Siobhan Craven-Robins who organised [...]
I was pleased to see that a recent interview on one of the best wedding related blogs out there, Think Splendid, was illustrated with one of my photographs. A portrait I took of top wedding planner Mark Niemierko accompanied the interview and, I’m happy to say the blog’s author, Liene Stevens, kindly credited my work [...]
Mark Niemierko is one of the top wedding planners in the country, in fact Vogue magazine described him as “London’s luxury wedding planner”. I recently spent some time with him as he prepared for a very large wedding at The Grove hotel. Mark’s day started at his office in the West End of London where [...]
When I finally left this wedding on Saturday night the temperature had dropped below zero and I found myself scraping the screen of my car before I could set off for home. But considering the weather we’ve had in the days since then, I feel rather lucky to have been able to drive away at [...]
Nico and Karen held their wedding reception at The Churchill Hotel in London but the ceremony itself took place across from the hotel in Portman Square. The couple both prepared in rooms at the Churchill although Karen started her day at the Daniel Galvin hair salon with her Mother Willemijn and her bridesmaids, Lindsay, Julia [...]
I was recently commisioned to take the portrait of wedding planner Erika Unbehaun of FlutterFly Events. The sitting took place at Erika’s apartment in Canary Wharf and I was really pleased with the results so I’m sharing a few here on the blog. I’m going to be working with FlutterFly in August on a fabulous [...]
Earlier this week I went along to another wedding industry event, this one held by Chelsea Bidwill the owner of Beyond Weddings. Beyond Weddings offer a gift list service which helps couples build their home and it’s interior rather than their collection of toasters and napkins! At the party, held in the Crystal Room of [...]
On Wednesday night I was lucky enough to be invited to a St Valentine’s party held by leading Wedding Planner Mark Niemierko. The evening was staged at the Clerkenwell shop of McQueens, the brilliantly talented florists. There were lots of interesting people there from the wedding world and I was lucky enough to chat with [...]

If you’re a wedding planner and you have an iPhone then this App is a ‘must have’. Wedding Dash is a great way to hone your planning skills whilst travelling in a taxi to the next wedding venue or bridal dress fitting. Since I downloaded it from iTunes I haven’t stopped playing with it and [...]
I was really delighted recently when London Wedding Planner Lester Gethings of No.10 Wedding Design and Manangement asked me if I would take some portrait shots of him for PR use. And so it was, that last Friday we spent the morning in a studio near Wandsworth Bridge eating Gü Chocolate Naughties and capturing Lester [...]
On Thursday evening there was a networking night hosted by the United Kingdom Alliance of Wedding Planners and held at one of London’s more intimate wedding venues, 30 Pavilion Road. Those nice people at UKAWP asked me if I would come along and take some photographs for them and I’m really glad I agreed because [...]
This wedding started with a ceremony in West London and then moved on to a reception in leafy Surrey. Rachel and Mark were married at St Pauls church in Chiswick at 2.30pm. We were expecting the forecasted rain to be with us that point but, thankfully, it held off until later in the day. The [...]
Kate and Guillaume held their wedding ceremony and the wedding reception at the St Stephens Club in London. Tucked away behind Bird Cage Walk and within a few hundred yards of Buckingham Palace this intimate venue was a perfect backdrop for the Bride and Grooms Anglo French celebrations. The Bride arrived with her Father at [...]
Yesterday I caught up with wedding planner Peggie-Anne Savage of Vow Perfections. Peggie and her partner, Sarah-Jane Smith, have offices in both Dublin and London and it was in their London branch that we met and discussed, amongst other things, twittering, weddings and iPhones as I captured this photograph of Peggie on mine.
I have been asked to speak about ‘The Changing Trends of Wedding Photography’ at the Wedding Planning excellence ’09 seminar which is being held this coming Friday and Saturday at Down Hall Hotel in Hertfordshire. The hotel was in the news last week as the venue for Jade Goody’s wedding. The event is being organised [...]
Tom and Melanie were married in the beautiful country Church of All Saints in the Groom’s home village of Wickhambrook in Suffolk. Melanie’s dress came from Pronovias who also got a mention in my last posting. It looked fantastic with it’s understated veil. As Tom and his best men were getting ready at his parent’s [...]
