Liz + Craig | Brighton wedding | A single



Yesterday was the Brighton wedding of Liz and Craig, who had engagement portraits last year on Brighton Pier.   It was a thrill to work with them both again at their wedding ceremony at the Hilton Metropole in Brighton and later at another hotel further along the beachfront which involved fish and chips and an ice-cream seller.  Here is a single image of the two of them exchanging their vows during their civil ceremony reflected in a mirror strip on the wall; the full blog post will be up in a week or two.

51 Buckingham Gate wedding | Camilla + Tarik | A single



Every so often you get a couple or a bride who are really up for a bit of portrait time and magically everything comes together with finding good light as well as their hair, make-up and dress (I’m talking girls here). Tonight (well, last night – Saturday) was one of those times with Camilla at 51 Buckingham Gate.  Just before I ended the evening, we were due to do some couple portraits and I found just the spot – at about the same time that Tarik headed outside for a smoke break. So Camilla and I had time to play with some of just her before he returned – and am so very glad that we did.

The Gherkin wedding | Rachel + Danny

Rachel and Danny’s Gherkin wedding started with a queue of guests waiting in the sunshine to go inside The Gherkin and through security checks. At the appropriate time, they were piped into the building reflecting Danny’s Scottish family.  Guests went to the 34th floor, where they changed lifts for the 39th where the ushers and Danny were waiting.

The quick upward rise of the lifts can make your ears pop.

Rachel’s mother walked her down the aisle and lifted off her veil ready for her marriage.

For anyone who doesn’t like heights, you might want to look away for the next two photographs.

I finished Rachel and Danny’s coverage at their meal, but couldn’t resist sneaking in a couple of extra portraits before I left.
