3 days of wedding fun in London and Barcelona - Poppy and Karim

FUN FUN FUN! That pretty much sums up the 3 days I spent shooting this wedding. Poppy + Karim are the nicest couple EVER! So chilled-out, loved-up, and totally made for each other. The love they have for each other (and their friends) is immense. They said they just wanted to have a great party with all their friends and family, and boy did they do that!

I could easily write a hell of a lot about this wedding, and also about this fantastic couple… but seeing as its probably the biggest wedding blog I’ve ever put together I’ll just shut up now, and let you scroll away, and be jealous that you weren’t invited to this stunning trio of weddings.

// HERE’S THE VERY LOVELY GOOGLE REVIEW POPPY+KARIM LEFT FOR ME //

We are so in love with Ed Godden. Booking him as your wedding photographer will be the absolute best decision that you make.


Ed is an unmatched and killer combination of incredibly talented, hard-working and an amazing eye behind the camera, together with being the most relaxed, kind and hilarious person.

The quality of his work - the colour, movement, vibrancy, wit and emotion - speaks for itself. We couldn’t be more delighted with the photos. On top of that he is a total pleasure to be with: friendly and warm, and able to put you completely at ease in front of the camera. It really is like hanging out with a mate. In another review someone said that it was like having a “super-talented best friend with ninja and mind-reading skills” – that is spot on! He is also very professional: he’s totally on top of all organisation and very trustworthy in that respect.

Ed kindly photographed not one, not two, but three events for us: he was equally as brilliant when it was just five of us cruising around Hackney, making jokes and stopping for beers, as he was when somehow capturing every nuanced moment of two 120-person-strong parties in Barcelona.

If you’re looking for formal family portraits or anything super traditional, someone else might be better for you. But if you’re after achingly cool, individual and hilarious photos of your human pyramid at 4am on the dancefloor, there is no one better. (Shout out to Ed’s incredible stamina for taking brilliant quality photos right through to when the venue finally threw us out!)

I won’t ruin the surprise for future clients, but the surprise pressies he throws in to the finished package are a lovely touch. My advice: book him now, and the more that you are relaxed and trust Ed to get on with doing his thing, the better!

The icing on the cake is that some of our best friends have now booked Ed for their wedding too (they actually made the booking at 3am on the dancefloor at our wedding, they were so impressed with him!) – so we get to hang out with him again in a few months’ time. See you in the human pyramid, Ed!

Thank you so much for capturing every detail and moment. It was so great to see things that we had no idea about that were happening it was such a hectic day!”

2018 end of year review

Fun plays a huge part in my photography. Well, thats what a lot of my couples tell me anyway! And I like to think a lot of this end of year slideshow portrays how I capture all the happiness I see at weddings.

Putting together a slideshow at the end of the year is never easy. Mainly as I have SO many fun and creative shots I want to feature. Anna and I delivered over 40,000 images to couples this year, so choosing just three minutes worth of photos to show was really tough! What you’re about to watch is only a tiny selection of images that make me smile when I look at them… Just as much now as when I saw them happen in front of me.

To every couple that asked me to shoot their wedding this year, THANK YOU!

Thank you for booking me, trusting me, and just allowing me to rock up on your special day and just do my thing. Even after 20+ years of doing this I still continue to find shooting weddings a hugely interesting and fun experience. And when I get to spend so much time with couples that genuinely get excited about seeing what I see, it really does mean the world to me.

(And if you like this slideshow… you can check out a couple more of my previous years slideshows too… 2017 and 2016)

Pembroke Lodge wedding photographer - Kat and Marc

“We absolutely LOVE the photos, wow wow wow! They are beautiful.

You guys captured some really amazing shots, and lots of blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments!! We LOVE THEM!!! Looking through all of the photos, it's like re-living the whole day again.


Really great variety in styles too, between reportage, action shots and more portrait style - but always very natural.


We're really glad that you and Anna had an enjoyable time on the day, you both mixed in seamlessly with our guests - I remember one point when we were in the photobooth and suddenly noticed that you were in there with us and hidden in the dark”

“OMG just wow! Such amazing photos! Looking through them was like re-living the day all over again! Made me so emotional. Thank you so much for capturing memories we will cherish forever! We are forever grateful.
The time you must have taken editing etc I can only imagine. We cannot thank you enough! You’re a fabulous guy and the best photographer ever! “

West Mill wedding photography - Jen and Chris

“The photos are absolutely fantastic. We are just back from our honeymoon and have had the first chance to look at them properly and we are both genuinely over the moon. You have managed to beautifully capture so many moments that we hadn't seen, and so many of the little touches such as decorations and unlikely friendships forming between guests; what incredible documentation of such an important day for us both!

We have loved every minute of working with you and we are both eternally grateful for such high quality and special photos, and for the easy and friendly way you were with everyone on the day itself; it really felt like you were part of the guest list! From the moment we met you over Skype, we were absolutely positive that you were the right photographer for us - you have consistently made us feel comfortable (important for two people who don't love being the centre of attention!) and understood exactly the low-key feel that we wanted for the day. I have already recommended you to two of our friends and will continue to do so unreservedly.”

Elmore Court wedding photography - Alex and Joe

 

"Thank you so so much. The photos are amazing and you've really captured all the emotions of the day so perfectly. Looking through them all last night made us so emotional and we will treasure these photos forever. You read the room so well, knew who was special and we wanted lots of photos of, and captured every moment - it was amazing to see the story of our day unfold through the photos." Alex & Joe

Crewe Hall wedding photography - Ramya and Ross

Dear Ed, 

Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures. WE LOVE THEM! The guests are really enjoying scrolling through them as well. 

They capture the moments beautifully, and have been edited to perfection. We can't wait to get a few printed out and up on the wall. 

Thanks again, 

Love Ram and Ross xxx

Oxfordshire wedding photography at the Crooked Billet pub - Lou and Nick

Ed was just brilliant, he made us feel so comfortable on the day, even Nick who isn't the happiest in front of a camera. He has taken some really wonderful images and has captured how much fun we had on the day, so we couldn't be happier with the photos. So many amazing memories captured without us even knowing! We would highly recommend Ed as he really understood our relaxed style and what we were after for the day - he really got us!

Thank you so much Ed, Lou and Nick x

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!
