LGBTQ+ wedding at Islington Town Hall in London This lovely couple of two brides had a beautiful wedding in November at the Islington Town Hall. They found me on Google when searching for LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographers in London.

Planning your big day is exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. It can be frustrating and draining if you can’t find the right people to help you. This is why when my couples book me to photograph their wedding I ..read more

Of course, we are biased – we love the rustic, relaxed wedding but it’s not for everyone. So before you head off to visit venues stop and think exactly what your perfect venue looks like. Try answering these five questions before starting your search: What style of wedding suits us? If you love the great outdoors and are happiest in your walking boots or wellies then a rural outdoor wedding venue will be for you. If you are allergic to mud and pink stilettos are your best friend, then a contemporary city centre hotel is probably the better choice. Also, think through how much control you want ..read more

It doesn’t matter how relaxed you would like your wedding day, you really need to spend time working out your timings. I suspect we’ve all attended a wedding which we’ve found a little boring so it’s worth some military-style planning to ensure you enjoy every minute and your guests remember the day for all the right reasons. Choose the time of your ceremony carefully If you get married too early it can be a very long day filled with food, drinks and entertainment. Not only is this expensive it can also be draining for you and your guests. As an example, if you get married at noon, guests wil ..read more

It was a real pleasure capturing Rachel & Denise's wedding day at Bristol Register Office on 2nd February 2023. Following the ceremony, their wedding day celebrations continued at the Smoke & Mirrors theatre pub in the city centre.

Very happy to do everything I suggested, despite dealing with the fine rain. Once at Smoke & Mirrors, their guest was spoilt with a constant flow of pizzas and chips (they were very tasty). During the evening the ..read more
