This is one of those portraits where everything comes together perfectly – for just a few seconds. As I was photographing Richard and Gabriella in the doorway of the church their daughter Georgia came and joined us. To have this beaming smile from her – at the same time as her Mum and Dad was fantastic.
Gabriella and Richard were driven to the reception in a black cab. Their guests were taken in London red buses (more photos of these will be on the main gallery of photos.)

Lucy and Alex’s Wedding Highlights
Liz and James’ Wedding, Hanbury Manor
Liz and James were married at Hanbury Manor on December 19th 2009.
It was a snowy outside, but bright sunlight filled the rooms in the early part of the day.
Liz walking down the old stairway.
‘A big memory for me from the day,’ explained James later, ‘was turning around and seeing Liz walking up the aisle.’
Liz and James exchanging their vows during the ceremony. A special mention to James’ sister, who is sat in the background of this picture and smiled serenley throughout the ceremony!
Liz and James first kiss. Poles Hall is a great location for a wedding. Its a large room, but has a very intimate feel which meets the guests feel very involved in the emotion of the ceremony.
These are one of the family portraits that were taken in a room pre-prepared by the staff at Hanbury, with a roaring log fire nearby.
Liz and James decided to brave the cold and in a few short minutes we took some photos in the snow as the sun began to set.
James during his speach.
‘It came out about a million times better than I thought it would,’ said James. ‘ I was really worried, but I did some improvisation and it seemed to go down really well.’

‘I just loved every single minute,’ said Liz. ‘Its amazing having all your friends and family in the same room. Its just been the best day ever.’

Alexandra and John’s Wedding, Leez Priory
‘When Alexandra arrived at the church,’ said her Dad, ‘she just looked so beautiful…’
‘We stood in the doorway to the church,’ he continued. ‘It was a very touching moment for me, and I wished her all the best for the future.’
Alexandra and John got married on 7th February 2009 at St Thomas of Canterbury, Wood Green. It was a bitterly cold day, but the sun was out and everyone was in fantastic spirits. Father Austin, who conducted the service, did a wonderful job, with his relaxed and warm welcome, and thoughtful sermon.
Jenny, one of Alexandra’s bridemaids said, ‘It’s amazing to see your best friend get married. I was so happy to see her and John tying-the-knot I cried.’
Is that confetti or a blizard?
We arrived at the wedding reception venue, Leez Priory, just in time to take some photos outside. ‘I’m so excited to be starting the next chapter of my life,’ said John, ‘and starting it with Alex.’
It was, by all accounts, flippping freezing! But everyone agreed it was worth a couple of cold moments to get some photos with the snow.
Soon it was dark, and Leez Priory looked magical.
John’s best men, Jan, and his brother Graham were absolutely brilliant. So good, in fact, I think they should hire themselves out as professional best men. They organised the whole day with a light touch and huge amounts of humour. Just before the speeches Jan mentioned that he’d make the crowd laugh – and I quote – ‘Even if I have to get naked.’ Fortunately it didn’t come to that. He had everyone in stitches from his opening line…
Alex and John cutting the cake
The fireworks lit up the night sky – a fitting finale to a great day.
‘It’s gone by so quickly,’ said Alex, ‘I can’t remember everything that’s happened!’
Well the good news is that all the photos from the day are online – plus an Audio-Slideshow with interviews – so Alex, John and their family and friends can re-live the whole day.

Louise and David’s Wedding, Maidens Barn
Louise and David were married at Maidens Barn on November 22nd 2008. It was a beautiful sunny day – but also absolutely freezing!
The Barn before the guests arrive, with an unusual wedding cake in the style of famous painter and award winning baker, Piet Mondrian.

Braving the cold again. Two quick pictures and then inside…
Louise and David wanted a real emphasis on natural, reportage style photographs. So after some breif family photos I spent my time during the drinks reception photographing Louise and David mingling and chatting with their friends and family.
Maidens Barn is a notch above many other barns. It has been thoughfully renovated, and tastefully decorated.
Cheers!
Louise and David’s wedding will always have at least one abiding memory for everyone who was there… …probably the craziest first dance witnessed this side of ‘Youtube.’
Each table was asked to vote for one of six songs and the Madness song, ‘Baggy Trousers’ was selected. Cue lots of leaping about and general daftness…
