HOLY SHIT… Apologies, thats the first time in 15 years that I have sworn on my blog. I HAVE JUST WON 5 INTERNATIONAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS in just one contest. Thats unparalleled these days as there are so many more members. To win five in Q1 of these awards was beyond my wildest expectations. Thousands of photographs entered and on a small percentage of those gain an award from the judges. As I have mentioned before on this blog, the main reason I am a member of the WPJA is that the judges are not wedding photographers and so they are assessing the photographs on merit and not because t ..read more

We got there at last. Dominique and Dan had originally booked their wedding for June, and then of course because of COVID19 their date was changed to a Sunday in October. As so many clients were rearranging their weddings I was actually booked for their date in October, however they were more than happy to have Kabz photograph their big day. Then a few weeks ago Dominique called me to say that they wanted to have a 30 people ceremony in August, as per the new guidelines, and then have a party in October. Now I love a small wedding, and a small Jewish wedding under COVID guidelines got me real ..read more

Small Intimate Wedding Photography With the UK being in lockdown for the past 3 months one of the Associations I belong to, the WPJA, decided that as there were no weddings taking place then there could be no contests. Instead they asked all of their members to submit no more than 12 photographs from small intimate weddings they had photographed, or any elopement weddings. One of the biggest misconceptions of my work is that I only photograph large weddings in London, which is wrong. The bread and butter of my work has and will always be smaller weddings, normally with around 60 guests. Howeve ..read more

During this 2020 lockdown I have been asked to photograph some Exeter University students who have missed their graduation because of lockdown. Taking these photographs actually started last year when I was asked to do a photoshoot for a mature student and her family and it appears word has spread as Afrah, yesterdays client, is a friend of Malaya who I photographed previously. The premise of these photographs is quite simple. Natural, beautiful, timeless photographs of one of the greatest achievements in a young persons life, graduation from one of the UK’s most prestigious University’s. Yes ..read more

Kinloss Synagogue Wedding, a post by David Pullum. Simone and Orion were married on a Thursday just a few days before the whole of the UK went into Coronavirus lockdown. Preparations for Simone began at The Landmark Hotel in London, a place I know very well and have photographed quite a few weddings and corporate events there. Simone was joined by her bridesmaids and mother for a very relaxed start to the day. Preparations complete and we all made our way to Kinloss Synagogue for the ceremony and reception. This wedding was just at the start of problems that the country now faces, and everyth ..read more

Coworth Park Wedding Photographs by David Pullum who has recently been voted one of the best wedding photographers in UK 2019. What a great wedding this was. In two parts, the first a very intimate wedding ceremony for 30 guests, followed by a meal and the second a larger party for friends and family. Coworth Park is the prefect venue for an intimate wedding as well as a larger wedding. I am lucky enough to be one of their recommended suppliers since 2012 and the hotel can provide weddings that have very few guests to weddings with 120+. Michelle and Charlie's wedding was a mixture of the two ..read more

Runnymede on Thames Hotel Jewish Wedding, a post by wedding photographer David Pullum who has recently been voted one of the best wedding photographers in UK 2019 What a wedding venue. So close to London, on the Thames with amazing outside space for photographs and a really chilled and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for Deborah and Nick's wedding. This was my first time photographing a wedding at The Runnymede Hotel and hopefully it wont be the last as I loved working there. Most Jewish weddings that I photograph are in London with little to no outside space and so it makes a lovely change to ha ..read more

Millennium Hotel Jewish wedding by David Pullum, who has recently been voted one of the best wedding photographers in UK 2019 Tara and Jonathan were married at the magnificent Millennium Hotel in London.

The Millennium Hotel has a beautiful glass roofed ceremony area right at the top of the hotel, allowing light to stream into the building and onto the couple. The evening reception was filled with dancing and great speeches, including a complime ..read more
