Jewish Wedding Photography at The Landmark London | Alison & Gary

WOW. What a day! Alison and Gary's Jewish wedding photography took place at The Landmark hotel in north London - a truly inspiring venue. Their ceremony was held at the New West End Synagogue - an utterly breathtaking building.

This rather fast-paced Jewish wedding in London was exceptionally well planned, so many lovely elements to the day, it was a fun, loud and genuinely inspiring wedding to be part of.

The wedding band Alison and Gary hired in were epic, Metropolis turned the evening reception into the sort of celebration that it should be, everyone had a fantastic time and it really shows in the coverage.

Alison and Gary really wanted to step away from the more traditional, staged wedding photography, we still did a few family group photographs but kept things very natural. I was there to observe and not direct, working in my trademark reportage wedding photography style.

I really got swept away on this one, here are just a few of my very favourites, if you enjoy looking through them as much as I did making them, please leave a comment.

Shustoke Farm Barns Natural Wedding Photos | Christopher & Sarah

Christopher and Sarah have been fantastic to work with, their brilliant little wedding took place at the stunning Shustoke Farm Barns, just below Birmingham. It was a very intimate affair and a genuine pleasure to be part of. The relatively cold and rainy weather (a typical British day really!) didn’t matter at all, we still managed to get some great images outside. There were plenty of kids at the wedding too, so lots of unpredictable and amusing moments to photograph.

One of the things I love most about being a busy wedding photographer is that no two weddings are the same. Be it the venue, family, weather conditions or circumstances, this huge variety really keeps you on your toes and makes you constantly look for new, fresh images and perspectives. I never look to recreate images that worked at another wedding for instance, what would be the point in that? For me, it's imperative that the collection of images produced is as unique and personal to the couple as possible.

Here are just a few of my favourite wedding photographs from this fun little wedding day…

Documentary Wedding Photography at Orchardleigh Estate | Elizabeth & Tim

Elizabeth and Tim's relatively traditional wedding took place on Orchardleigh Estate on the outskirts of Frome in Somerset. Their ceremony was in a little chapel on the estate which is probably the darkest church I've ever worked in and at one stage during the service (this is probably much more interesting to the wedding photographers reading this post!) I was shooting at 16,000 ISO with a 1.4 aperture, and even then I was only getting an 80th of second shutter speed. Thankfully the cameras we use are very much up to the task as flash is most definitely not an option during a ceremony, it would be far too intrusive and in my opinion would completely ruin the wedding, let alone the ceremony.

Tim and Elizabeth's intimate ceremony was swiftly followed by a classy drinks reception at Orchardleigh House just a few minutes drive from the church and a venue I know very well.

The reception was great fun with some particularly memorable speeches, fireworks and dancing.

Below are just a few of my favourites from this fantastic Somerset wedding day.
