Rebecca — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:10:04 +0000

As a teaser, here’s a single from Lynsey and Craig’s wedding celebrations at the Royal York Hotel yesterday. I’ll post a full selection of photographs from their day in the coming two weeks.

Farm Street Church & Altitude 360 | Rendah & Paul | A single

Rebecca — Sun, 23 May 2010 17:26:17 +0000

This is a single from yesterday’s wedding of Rendah and Paul, taken on the steps of Tate Britain. We were in a taxi from Farm Street Church, where they were married to Altitude 360 for their reception when they said they would love some photographs on the classic steps of the gallery, a few hundred yards away. Given the amazing sunshine, it would have seemed rude not to.

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.

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.

The Dorchester | wedding | Nicoletta & Steve | A single

Rebecca — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 01:02:36 +0000

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.

London wedding | Haymarket Hotel | Kate and Paul | A single

Rebecca — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 15:57:40 +0000

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.

London wedding | Lola & Tunde | A Single

Rebecca — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 11:22:06 +0000

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.

Family Avon canal trip

Rebecca — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 17:31:56 +0000

My mother and stepfather Bill have been visiting the UK from their home in Australia – to meet their new grandchild – and to have a break. They invited me on their week-long canal holiday from Bath and I was able to go with them for a couple of days in the past week. We set off in reasonable weather, mastering a swing bridge early on in the trip, then had a day of miserable cold and rain, hunkering down in the cabin for games of cards, crosswords and the papers with mugs of tea.

On my final day, we had the most wonderful cold start with mist rising off the water and a clear blue sky. Cyclists, runners, dogs and their owners all use the tow paths alongside the canal and it’s great to be surrounded by ducks, swans and other birdlife. Apart from one near miss when another canalboat skipper seemed to have missed seeing us, it was a peaceful trip with incredibly still canal water that ended just after going through our first lock at Bradford-Upon-Avon. This took about 45 minutes, including filling up with water and we could relax at the nearby Lock Inn for an all-day breakfast.

Abergavenny Food Festival

admin — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:20:16 +0000

I’ve just spend this weekend in Abergavenny for its annual food festival, which is billed as the best food festival in the UK. Since I haven’t been to any others, I don’t know how true that statement is, but I had an absolute ball. The sun was out for the entire weekend and we found ourselves part of it from early Saturday morning with a singer/guitarist serenading all day in the street below – luckily the place I was staying was right in the middle of Abergavenny.

I hadn’t taken a ‘proper’ camera, but had the iphone on one of its first outings for these photographs. Part of the sellout party entertainment at Abergavenny’s castle on Saturday night was Little Rumba, formerly known as The Tango Band, so I was well pleased. Dad was celebrating his birthday and became part of entertainment with the Cosmic Sausages with the band singing him Happy Birthday and dressing him up in a blonde wig and pink feather boa for The Swedish Song.
