Rakesh and Manisha’s wedding took place at the Hilton Coventry a couple of weeks ago. We had a fantastic engagement shoot in London a few weeks earlier so it was great to see them again to photograph their big day! We had so much fun on the engagement shoot that it ended up being my longest e-shoot ever as time just flew by. I brought along with me a lovely framed print and a guest book made with images from the e-shoot, which always goes down a treat. After photographing the bridal preparations and the ceremony, we hopped into the Bentley and drove to the nearby Coombe Abbey Country Park for an hour of couple portraits. It was great having a full hour allowing a really nice range of photos to be captured. Then it was back to the Hilton for an amazing reception with the dance floor jam packed for hours as everyone had an amazing time!

Well, the day after Sushma and David’s Hindu wedding at Chiswick house they celebrated their registry wedding and reception at Kew Gardens in London. Definitely a very spectacular venue with the ceremony held in the gorgeous Nash Conservatory, followed by the reception in The Orangery. I thoroughly enjoyed photographing the two wedding ceremonies and celebrations of this lovely couple!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Sushma & David’s Hindu wedding at Chiswick House. After some bride and groom preparation shots in Richmond and Chiswick respectively, it was off to Chiswick House for the ceremony, which is an amazing venue! It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and I left with excited with the prospect of photographing their Registry wedding in Kew Gardens the following day! Watch this space for that blog post, coming very soon….

A few weeks ago Charlotte and Michael got married at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. Well it was sunny for some of the day, but the rain that arrived later did nothing to dampen the festivities! The venue without a doubt is one of the most spectacular in all of London, if not the UK. After some bridal preparation shots we made our way upstairs to a lovely room in the Admiral’s House for the ceremony. Thankfully the weather was kind enough to allow us to spend a good while outside and also to capture the group shots. Then Charlotte, Michael and I went off for a couple portrait session. Charlotte looked amazing – just scroll down and see – as did Michael of course! After lunch we walked over to the Trafalgar Pub in Greenwich for the reception.

A couple of weeks ago I flew out to Spain to photograph the wedding of Melissa and Mark. I had very much been looking forward to this wedding for ages, for obvious reasons! Arriving the day before the wedding I had the opportunity to laze by the pool in the glorious hot summer weather for a good while, which made a very welcome change to our British summer….. On the day of the wedding I made my way down to the Hotel Principe Felipe, in the resort, to photograph Melissa’s bridal preparation. The hotel is very opulent and what a treat it was to have the opportunity to photograph in such an amazing venue! Then I hopped in the car with the videographers, Claudia and Miguel of www.wowweddingmedia.com, who were amazing by the way and are highly recommended! We made our way to the lovely little church for the ceremony after which we returned to the La Manga Club for the reception on the terrace of the hotel overlooking the golf courses and with amazing mountain and sea views. I want to go back!! Inma Sanchez, the events coordinator at the hotel, couldn’t have done more for us – she is extremely helpful and friendly and did a fantastic job looking after not only the guests but also myself, Claudia and Miguel. I just wish every event coordinator could be a clone of Inma! Mark and Melissa were absolutely amazing and such a joy to work with and I wish them all the happiness in the world!
