A very intimate wedding at The Museum of the Order of St John in London.

I shot this gorgeous wedding just a few days before we went into lockdown back in March. Silvia and Anya, and their handful of family and friends were a delight to be around… even if it was just for a few hours.

It was the first half day booking i’d taken on for a very long time. Which is quite ironic considering smaller wedding days may possibly the way forward for a lot of people… we’ll see!

I was going to use this blog post as excuse to chat about what I’ve been up to during this crazy year, but I think i’ll save that for another blog post. Maybe even another slideshow!

It’s still hard to believe that I’ve not shot a wedding for 6 months, but I’m so keen to get out there and capture more timeless memories for couples very soon.

Stay safe everyone… and please press play on the slideshow below to take a look at the super-lovely wedding day of Silvia + Anya.

Las Vegas destination wedding photography - Jen and Bryan

What better way to kick off my 2018 than with a wedding in America! I flew out to Las Vegas with Jen and Bryan to spend a few days with them, and snap them getting hitched at the Little White Chapel on Las Vegas Boulevard. 

The day before they got hitched we headed out to the stunning Red Rock Canyon for a pre-wedding shoot. Bit of a tip for you if you visit Vegas... make sure you take a bottle of water and some sun cream if you plan to head out into the desert for a photoshoot. Yep... typical Brit-abroad mistake made there! Luckily there was a visitor centre at Red Rock.

Despite visiting the U.S quite a lot (including getting married out there myself!) I'd never actually been to Vegas. I was really looking forward to see what the place had to offer as a photographic backdrop, and also excited to see how shooting an elopement abroad was going to sit with my style of photography. Well, I'm pleased to say I loved it!  Jen and Bryan were so chilled out and fun to be around, and the way they just let me get on with documenting their time in Vegas was bliss.

As you're about to find out, this is one of my longer blog posts as there was just SO much to photograph... so I'll shut up now, and let you scroll down.

Thanks again Jen + Bryan for booking me, and treating me like one of the family. I had a fantastic time, and really enjoyed shooting your week in America.

Lake Como, Italy wedding photography - Ashley and Mike

This wedding will definitely be a huge highlight of 2017 for me. Amazing scenery, party-crazy guests, and one of the nicest couples I've ever photographed. 

Ashley and Mike live in New York, and chose the backdrop of Lake Como in Italy for their wedding day. The boutique hotel Relais Villa Vittoria was their venue, and WOW, does it have some stunning views over the beautiful lake. 

I had only met the guys on a Skype call when they booked me last year, so having a pre-wedding shoot the night before the wedding was a perfect chance to get to know them a bit better. 

I could ramble on and on about this amazing wedding, but I think I'll let the photos do the talking. All I will add, is that it'll be a long time before I shoot another wedding with such a wild party. The cellar bar at the venue was roasting hot from all the dancefloor action! 

Ashley and Mike, thanks so much for asking me to shoot your amazing wedding day... it was a fantastic wedding to be a part of, and the freedom you guys gave me to wander around, mingle with your guests, and just "do my thing", allowed me to get the totally relaxed story of your day that you see here. 

Thanks also to Matthew Oliver for making the day run so smoothly with your wedding planning skills. I will never forget the look on your face when a guest picked you up on the dancefloor... priceless!

Best of 2015

I seriously can't believe thats another year done and dusted! It feels like only last week that I was posting my last 'Best Of' blog. 

This year has been amazing on so many levels. I've been lucky enough to travel and shoot weddings all over the UK, and abroad in 2015. Shooting a wedding in Sicily was such a great experience, and we also squeezed in trips to New York, Boston, Stockholm, Scotland, and not to mention our 3 week road trip round New England, yep, I definitely got around this year!

2015 has also seen me take quite a bold business decision, and cut back on the amount of weddings I take on. I do all my own editing, admin, and pride myself on good customer service, and this just isn't possible when you take on way too much work. Limiting the amount of weddings I take on has been the best move ever! I love meeting up with couples before their big day. Getting to know them, and finding out more about their wedding day. This way I don't just turn up on the day as a stranger with a camera.

I know I bang on about it all the time on my blog and on Facebook, but I really can't emphasise how important having a pre-wedding shoot can be.  A huge number of couples aren't totally comfortable in front of the camera, and having a pre-wedding shoot with me is the best way of getting over this fear. Seriously, it makes it so much easier for you on your wedding day. Because we've already spent a bit of time together its far more relaxed. I turn up, snap away, and you just treat me like one of the guests.   

So whats in store for 2016? Another destination wedding, this time its at a stunning chateau in France. Trips to Rome and Geneva also in the diary, and I'm nearly fully booked for UK weddings too! I've still got a few random dates available, so please get in touch now if you want to book. 

I'm exhibiting at a handful of wedding shows in the new year and would love to see you if you're looking for a photographer for your big day. Pop along to the Wedding Event With A Difference (in Nottingham city centre) in February, or The Pop-Up wedding fair at Calke Abbey in April. Or if you're down in London, why not head on over to the super-cool Most Curious Wedding Fair in March. I'll be at all of these!

All that's left to say now is a huge thanks to all you amazing couples that booked me, trusted me, and allowed me to shoot your wedding this year.  

Enjoy the photos! (Ed)
