Wedding photography and portrait photography in Greenwich, London
Subscribe 
I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based on the borders of leafy Greenwich and artists' haven Deptford in south London. When I'm not working, I love visiting galleries and finding new places for afternoon tea or morning coffees. For the past couple of years I've been learning Argentine Tango. We're told it takes about five years to learn the tango walk, so I'm just about halfway.

I’m not going to say much because I’m so tired I’m almost dribbling … except that here is one from Helen and Mattie’s wedding a few hours ago. It features the South Bank Centre’s distinctive 1951 net and ball carpet designed by Peter Moro and Leslie Martin, which Helen and Mattie very much like.
Elizabeth and Patrick married today at the Haymarket Hotel, just off Trafalgar Square – and here’s a single from the day, taken in the hotel’s basement bar next to the pool and it’s amazing light sculpture, which is throwing the pink light into this picture. I’ll put up a full blog post from the day later in the week.

At Emily and Marz’s wedding on Saturday, there were so many children being utterly themselves that I wanted to give them their own post. All were charming, busy making new friends and exploring. It can also be fun working with them, aside from the reportage photographs. One of the little girls was eating a packet of raisins when we wanted to do a group photograph with her in it. I offered to put the raisins on my head while I took the photograph so she could keep an eye on them – something she did with a rather suspicious look. By the time we came to take another group photograph with her in it, the raisins had gone, but the packet still went on my head. After it ‘fell off’ to get her (& the adults) to laugh, she raced over and insisted “again, again”. And yes, we did.

There are so many lovely photographs from Emily and Marz’s wedding on Saturday, most are going to go on this blog post, with a separate one for children at their day. We started the day setting the scene – Great Fosters‘ gardens are stunning and the lavender was out in full force, full of bees.
Emily’s mother was keeping an eye on things – like Emily’s dress that Emily and Marz had chosen together.
Emily’s colourful and classic bouquet was from Wimbledon florist Flowers by Eve.
Downstairs, Marz’s father Adil was welcoming everyone.
He and Emily’s father David were in position early for the ceremony, in Great Fosters Orangery.
Before David stepped back down the aisle to meet Emily and her bridesmaids.
Marz was one smiley groom.
We had about 30-40 minutes in the gardens for wedding portraits with Emily and Marz.
Now, the croquet: we found it set up and I showed Emily and Marz how to hit the ball (beyond that – rules and things – I have no idea). Emily was brilliant, giving a ladylike and heartfelt thud of the ball through the appropriate hoop followed by oodles of giggling while Marz stood about looking appropriately swashbuckling.
Next, it is Marz’s turn. Here it goes with a manly thwack …
… right towards our photographer’s nose! Ooops!
I was perfectly okay and managed to block the ball from my nose and the camera with an arm … but won’t be putting myself in that position again for a while!
On our way back from the portraits, it seems we were on a parallel journey with a guest.
With the receiving line about to start, it was time for photographs of the cake and Tithe Barn set up for dinner.

We had the prettiest sky and clouds I’ve seen in a long time today for Emily & Marz’s wedding at Great Fosters in Surrey. Both looked fabulous and their families were so very warm. Here is one photograph from their day – before their ceremony – because, quite frankly, all the ones of people were too difficult to choose from. Emily’s shoes are seen with one of the venue’s famous chimneys.
