Finding a Birds Eye View at a Wedding When I’m photographing a wedding, I have in mind many of the ‘must get’ images that most clients will expect their photographer to get. The Brides’ arrival, the exchange of rings, the recessional etc. I plan my movements to try to cover all of these moments from…
The Grooms Nerves I love this photo from one of last year’s weddings at London’s Islington Town Hall. The moment, just before the entrance of the bridesmaids and the bride will be a familiar one for anyone who has been in this position. Or, indeed, for anyone who has been a best man, and had…
Burnham Beeches Hotel Wedding Photographer Burnham Beeches Hotel is a superb 18th Century house in Buckinghamshire, and a wonderful wedding venue for a couple who want to keep all aspects of the day in one venue.

Some of London’s…

But you’re worried that if you book a photographer who specialises in this style, your wedding album will be missing a few posed portraits of the two of you or some group…
Stoke Place Wedding Photography Amrit and Peter asked me to provide their Stoke Place Wedding Photography after seeing my pictures from their friend’s wedding earlier in the Summer. It’s a fantastic country house venue in Buckinghamshire, ideal for a large gathering and party. I’ve been looking forward to this ever since Amrit told me about the combination of…
Sussex Wedding Photography at Buxted Park Hotel Buxted Park hotel in Sussex is a great wedding venue, and it was a real pleasure to be the photographer for this wedding.
