In This Moment | Urgh!

I absolutely love this image because it's captured one of the pageboys, who also happens to be the groom's son, in absolute and genuine disgust at the sight of the bride and groom kissing!

My 9-year-old son is exactly like this - if there is any sign of physical affection in our house you just see a screwed up face and hear "urgh!".

This wedding photo captures this boy at a very specific time in his life - his personality at this wonderful age shines through and I'm sure it will mean a lot to his parents, I know it would to me.

In This Moment | Just In Time!

I remember this moment with absolute clarity. This was the bride's sister and her (very new!) baby. I made this image during the bridal preparations at the stunning Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury, one of my favourite spots for Wiltshire wedding photography.

What I remember most was the beautiful atmosphere in the room, they were clearly a very close family and having this latest edition arrive just in time for the wedding made for a perfect day.

It was such a tender moment - seeing this first-time, doting mother holding her little baby.

It's moments like these that make me realise just how privileged I am to do the job I do :)

Reportage Wedding Photography in Westminster at One Great George Street

What a wedding! Sandra and Nabil's wedding was absolutely sensational, their ceremony took place at the beautiful Sacred Heart church in South West London and reception at One Great George Street in Westminster - a breathtaking Edwardian building just off Parliament Square.

The attention to detail during the entire day was inspiring and it was a privilege to be their London wedding photographer.

After their wedding ceremony, Nabil and Sandra made a fairly swift exit from the church due to the bitterly cold weather! Their vintage wedding car took them to One Great George Street in Westminster where their classy drinks reception took place. This Grade II listed building is spectacular, from the outside it could easily pass as offices, however, venture into the rooms and you soon begin to realise just how special it is. Such a great central London wedding venue.

During the drinks reception, Nabil and Sandra commissioned two professional dancers to perform from inside a transparent cube, essentially a life-size snow globe. And it was amazing! I've never seen anything quite like it, everyone was completely captivated.

I documented this wedding alongside my talented colleague Andy Rapkins. Andy is an exceptional wedding photographer working throughout the UK, Australia and Europe, in my opinion, he's up there with the very best wedding photographers that the UK has to offer. I also run our tuition and mentoring company with Andy and his advice to students is always invaluable.

Our documentary style of wedding photography suited this day perfectly, we still do the odd group photograph and typically spend between 5 and 10 minutes with each couple but predominantly we observe the day. Our aim is always to produce authentic and believable London wedding photography for our clients.

Enjoy!
