London wedding & portrait photographer - in Greenwich, Blackheath and Westminster » Portraits

London business portraits | Jeremy from the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich

Rebecca — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 21:34:19 +0000

It’s great to be able to share these business portraits of Jeremy Frost. He has rather an interesting job – or seemingly range of them – being Anglican chaplain at Maritime Greenwich and joint co-ordinating chaplain for the University of Greenwich. He’s also chaplain for the Chapel of the Old Royal Naval College, where he uses his musical experience from his former job as Precentor and Liturgist at Canterbury Cathedral. Jeremy commissioned his business portraits after a consultation, where he explained he wanted a number of photographs to use in his Greenwich roles and separate musical projects.

We shot most of the portraits around Greenwich and its riverside walks, ending at the Old Royal Naval College itself for its gorgeous columns and stonework. Here are a selection of photos from our session.

Brighton engagement portraits | Liz & Craig

I’ve finished editing Liz & Craig’s engagement portraits from Brighton and here are my remaining favourites. I hope these portraits will help them keep the Brighton vibe until their wedding there in September next year. I especially like the deckchair ones because Liz and Craig said they imagined being an old couple one day, holding hands on the pier.

Wimbledon family portraits | Monica and family

Monica wanted some casual photos of her family taken in the park near their Wimbledon home to capture where her children spend so much of their life, as well as having a more formal portraits for a grandparent’s 80th birthday present.

We started with a family group.

Then moved onto the important task of Jedi warfare.

Next up, some running along favourite paths and scooter action.

The games don’t stop: girls versus boys in trying to get to the other side of the square without being caught.

The wonder of a bug … but if you put your arms like THIS (Jedi warrior stance, obviously), you are safe.

A hill means running, if you’re a small boy.

Or a bit of a meander in your favourite stripey socks. Amazing how tiring this all is.

All too soon, it was time to collect our belongings and return home.

Finishing the afternoon with Looney Tunes cartoons on the TV and Hula Hoops on the fingers.

Brighton engagement portraits | Craig & Liz

Rebecca — Wed, 19 May 2010 00:03:18 +0000

Yesterday’s engagement portraits with London couple Craig and Liz were in Brighton – one of their favourite places and somewhere they steal away when they can. They wanted to show the fun in their relationship – hence meeting on Brighton Pier. Here is a preview of three – more to come next week when all the portraits have been edited.

Small people and sunshine

I last saw Peter and Amanda several years ago when their son Henry was a baby. Now they have baby Sasha and Henry is very much a young man, seriously interested in sticks, transformers and investigating locked gates. We got together this morning before his school sports day in Dulwich, taking some relaxed family group photos. Children are usually a delight to photograph anyway, but when they are playing and cuddling with the rest of their family, it’s really special. I often wonder how treasured those photographs will be in the future for the children themselves.

London engagement portraits | Jo and Chris

Yesterday I photographed Jo & Chris’s engagement session around Greenwich, which was great fun. What they hadn’t told me when they chose the session time is that it was Jo’s birthday. We played around with some close-ups of them and some where they were more part of the landscape. They ended their session by going to the Gypsy Moth for drinks with friends – how civilised!

London engagement portraits | Ruth & Bruce

Rebecca — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:13:00 +0000

Here is a full blog of Ruth and Bruce’s engagement portraits on the South Bank. What was especially fun with the shoot was the randomness that strangers can create in portraits. Much of the time, strangers are very polite and will wait for you to take a photograph before they walk in between you and the subjects, which can be lovely, and sometimes it’s just fun if they don’t see what’s going on and just want to whizz by on their scooter.

One of the locations featured in these portraits is an absolute fave for Bruce and he was very excited when we were there. If you think you might know which location and perhaps why, do please post in the comments – I’d love to hear from you.

London engagement portraits | Ruth and Bruce | A single

Rebecca — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 00:48:21 +0000

Ruth and Bruce are getting married in nine weeks, so we spent a few hours yesterday afternoon in central London on their engagement portraits. Our meandering took us past the restaurant where they had one of their first dates and where Bruce proposed. I’ll post a selection of their images later in the week, but for now, here is a single from their session.

Chelsea baby portraits | Thea

Rebecca — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:43:47 +0000

Almost five years ago exactly, I was photographing Patrick on his first birthday. Now he’s running around with a Nintendo game … and it was his sister Thea’s turn this week on HER first birthday. What’s amazing is how similar they look at the same age. Here are a few from their session which are going into a feature album with one selected as a large wall portrait.

Twickenham Christening | Mothers’ Day

Rebecca — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:02:26 +0000

Wedding clients Gemma and Matt from 2006 have added baby Henry to their lives – and after a maternity portrait session during Gemma’s pregnancy, I was able to capture the next stage in their lives together – Henry’s Christening. They chose Mothers Day for his Christening at St James’ in Twickenham, attended by family and friends. I took a selection of photos to commemorate the day: some of Henry getting ready, on our way to the church, the Christening itself and the reception at Arthur’s Restaurant on the Green.
