Lucy and Alex’s Wedding Highlights
Lucy and Alex’s Wedding, Old Royal Naval College
Lucy and Alex were married on December 18th 2009 at the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, London.

The Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College is a truly magnificent room.
I’m always surprised at the number of London’s who’ve never been there or even know it exists. It is an architectural jem that is worth a day of anyone’s time to visit.

After walking down the aisle Lucy and Alex paused, held hands and looked towards me – which meant I was able to take this unexpected and impromtu portrait.

What isn’t eveident in this photo is that Tim, my assistant was stood on a chair, holding one of my lights over his head at full stretch.
Even on dark winters days, I try and use flash as little as possible, and Tim’s valliant exertions meant I was able to illuminate the guests – and the surrounds, with a soft, flattering light.
Lucy and Alex walked the length of the Painted Hall to join their guests for dinner.

Jane and James’ Wedding, Old Royal Naval College
Jane and James were married on July 4th 2009 at the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, London.
The Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich is one of the most beautiful places in London. In fact, it’s been designated a World Heritage Site and is considered to be the “finest and most dramatically sited architectural and landscape ensemble in the British Isles.”
Jane arrived fashionably early, with her Dad and bridesmaids.

Jane and her family are from Ireland – James and his family are from Australia. It was a great crowd, and the cheer they gave for their bride and groom in this photo was the loudest of any wedding I’ve photographed yet… and that’s up against some pretty stiff competition!

It was also Jane’s Dad’s birthday and instead of a wedding cake, there was a 70th birthday cake.
The actor Albert Finney, playing Churchill in the final scene of ‘The Gathering Storm’
Just before James and Jane walked into their reception I said, “when you get to the top of the steps, turn around and look at me. It will be like the final scene of the film, ‘The Gathering Storm.’ Then you can have your very own ‘Albert Finney’ moment – he was the actor playing Churchill.”
‘I don’t know who Albert Finney is,’ replied James, ‘but I want one of his moments!’

A thank-you from Sarah and David
I received a lovely thank-you from Sarah and David, who were married at St Alfeges Greenwich, with their reception at The Old Royal Naval College on 21st March 2009.
Mark, thank you so much for the brilliant job you did on our wedding photos.
I appreciate that we were probably the least snap-happy couple you’ve ever photographed, so the fact there are so many of us looking cheerful and relaxed is little short of a miracle!
They look truly stunning and I am really grateful.
Thanks again, I am forever in your debt!
Sarah and David’s Wedding, Old Royal Naval College
Sarah and David were married on March 21st 2009 – a beautiful spring day in Greenwich, London.
The Ceremony was held at St Alfeges Church and Sarah, escorted by her brother, sisters and friends walked there from the venue.
The interior of the church is beautiful, and the ceremony was conducted by a family friend, Tristan.

Waking down the aisle
On their walk back to the Old Royal Naval College, Sarah and David were given lots of waves by passers-by. Cars parped their horns, and an impatient motorcyclist made a surprising effort to try and run them down.
The reception was at Admiral’s House at Old Royal Naval College.
‘Kiss-me-quick, no-one is looking…’
The College provides a stunning back-drop and is one of my favourite places to photograph weddings in London.
