It’s late and I’m off to a workshop first thing in the morning, so quickly posting a single from today’s lovely, lovely wedding. This is Nicoletta about five minutes before she walked down the aisle at The Dorchester. She was just so stylish. If you were a guest at the wedding, do get in touch so I can let you know when their full gallery goes on-line.

After a dusting of snow on the morning of the wedding of Diya and James, they were still up for an outside portrait walkabout in the afternoon sun. Here’s a single from our walkabout. Yes, it was still cold … and yes, she has goose bumps. There’s a LOT of editing to do from the rest of their day and when that’s finished, I’ll post many more. If you were a guest at their wedding, please let me know your email address and we can stay in touch for when their complete gallery goes online.

Marsha and Anton married today in what has been a whirlwind week with Anton also accepting a job in Moscow and their son, Leo starting to walk. I first met Marsha about a year ago when she had a maternity session, then we photographed Leo when he was about a week old, along with his parents and baby things. Their ceremony was at Westminster Register Office, followed by lunch at Orrery in Marylebone High Street. Here’s a single from their wedding … and it was so very difficult to choose just one.

Kate and Paul married yesterday at the Haymarket Hotel, just off Trafalgar Square, in a stylish family day involving their guests, stunning food and lots of balloon animals. Kate’s dress matched the soles of her shoes … but you’ll have to wait a week or two to see how stunning she looked in it.

Here are a selection of photographs from Marsha and Ivan’s wedding at the Four Seasons Canary Wharf earlier this month. They had the most stunning weather, which showed up Marsha’s dress and and accessories a treat.







Then it was time for Marsha and Ivan’s ceremony, with her step-sister handing over their rings on a white cushion.




After a quick glass of champagne, we caught the very last of the day’s winter sunshine for some outdoor portraits … Marsha on her own and then with Ivan.


Then we popped inside to use some of the wonderful interiors.



After a number of family group photographs, it was time for dinner with stunning table decorations reflecting a winter wonderland, as well as Marsha’s Russian heritage in the form of bread and salt which were ready to be broken and eaten at the start of the meal, along with a shot of vodka.

Their meal was followed by a selection of speeches from many family members who had played important roles in their lives.



After a break, when Marsha changed into a second dress, she and Ivan had their first dance – a choreographed latin routine.

It was a wonderful, wonderful day with strong and visible family bonds; this comment seems fitting to post as their final photograph.

I quite often photograph midweek register office weddings with the couple and a few guests, loving the innate intimacy. It also means that we can do some portraits – especially if the couple is about to move to Canada and wants to capture the London-ness of their ceremony, with black cabs, red post boxes and double-decker buses … and did I mention rain and umbrellas? Here are some photographs from Sheri and Dan’s day.




Yesterday’s wedding with Lola and Tunde was a wonderful family affair with some dedicated portrait time on London’s South Bank, despite the freezing conditions and flurries of snow. Here is a single from our cab ride to our portrait session.

Yesterday’s Christmas afternoon tea with Sister Snog was at Franco’s in Piccadilly. We took a few seasonal portraits nearby while waiting for our tables.


Then inside to warm up and kick off secret santa.

With a bit of girly catching up …

… and not forgetting the food.

This is Marsha, ready to marry Ivan at yesterday’s ceremony at the Four Seasons Canary Wharf. I’ll post more from the day in the coming week. 
Here’s one photograph from Anna and Rob’s wedding yesterday as they were walking down the stairs at Bluebird to their afternoon reception.
