Heather & Simons Relaxed Pre Wedding Photo Shoot in London

I bloody love them all..thanks so so much!!!

Before a wedding day many photographers including myself offer the option for couples to have a pre wedding/engagement photo shoot. I would always encourage couples to book one of these shoots as they really help you feel at ease before the big day and look forward to the portrait session. If you’re like me and feel uncomfortable having your picture taken, don’t panic! It’s going to be fine..theres nothing scary or forced about my portrait sessions..just ask Heather and Simon! :-) My photo shoots are so relaxed and laid back without lots of forced smiles and cheesy grins!

I met up with Heather and Simon at the Warren Met Police Sports Club in Croydon, London which is to be the venue for their wedding reception next year. We had a great time exploring the grounds looking for interesting backdrops, and there were so many! As a professional photographer with a creative eye I don’t need sweeping sunset views or blue skies to create a great picture. A small gap between two plants in front of a wall, a cricket screen, a reflection in a window is all I need! I was pleased Heather also had a creative eye as she found such a cool green door, very rustic and very cool! I really can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year! :-)

Kate and Tom - Natural and Fun Documentary London Wedding

I shoot a lot of weddings every year in all sorts of locations and always love travelling into London for a wedding in the capital. A certain type of adrenaline kicks in as i’m presented with awesome architecture, and famous landmarks. Last year I was honoured to shoot the amazing wedding between the lovely and super friendly Kate and Tom. They couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating which always gets the best out of me :-)

I started the day shooting Kate getting ready at a hotel in central London whilst my awesome second photographer Lola met up with Tom and the boys at a local pub. After a short black cab ride Kate and her mum arrived at RSA house where the ceremony and evening reception was held. It’s a great venue with very atmospheric rooms down to the amazing vaults underneath perfect for a wild night of dancing and partying! After the ‘ I Dos ‘ we managed to find a break in the weather to dash out for the throwing of the confetti on the steps of the RSA before heading down to the river for some cool couple shots! What an amazing day with even better people!!

Donna & Vikesh - Colourful Indian Wedding at Merchant Taylors Hall, London

This summer I was lucky enough to photograph the awesome Indian wedding celebrations between Donna & Vikesh at the impressive Merchant Taylors Hall in the centre of London. After shooting Vikesh and his groomsmen get ready at The Grange hotel overlooking St Paul's cathedral the rest of the day was spent at Merchant Taylors Hall.  A wedding day full of colour, love and laughter providing so many great picture opportunities and memories!! Congratulations to Donna & Vikesh!!
