Pre Wedding Shoots | Why They Work & 25 Favourites
So what exactly happens…. well usually we will grab a coffee or a beer and go through the plans for your wedding face to face, you know like we used to and then for up to 45 minutes take a little wander and make some pictures. I have found that this is a really great way to build the relationship between us and allows you both to gain an understanding of what to expect on your wedding day and tick it off the list of nervous unknowns plus you’ll get some beautifully curated portraits
Jade & Guy | Farnham Castle, Surrey
A summer wedding at Farnham Castle in Surrey — vows in the Norman chapel, a magician during the cocktail hour, a bouncy castle the adults refused to give back, and a set of singing waiters nobody saw coming.
Alice & Kyle | A Mount Without Wedding
A wedding full of laughter in one of the most breathtaking buildings in Bristol, finished off with a party in the crypt that nobody wanted to leave.
Helen & Benoit | A Marylebone Town Hall Wedding
A London micro wedding with all the glamour and none of the fuss. A quiet morning in Fulham, an intimate ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall, a wander across the city, and dinner at Barrafina.
Roisin & Niall | Screen on the Green & The Depot N7
A wedding in a working Islington cinema, a surprise film neither the bride nor the photographer knew about, a Routemaster north through the city, and a warehouse reception at The Depot N7 that nobody left early.
Jay and Spike | The Ned Hotel Wedding
A black tie winter wedding in the City of London. Vows in the Saloon with two hundred people watching, portraits on the terrace under St Paul’s, and dinner by candlelight in the Tapestry Room.
Liv & Jack | Hadsham Farm, Oxfordshire
An outdoor ceremony beside the lake at Hadsham Farm in Oxfordshire — tipis in a meadow, a pizza van in a field, and ten quiet minutes by the water while the party carried on behind.
Gemma & Andy | Marylebone Town Hall Micro Wedding
A London micro wedding done exactly right. Getting ready together at The Londoner, travelling to the ceremony on the Underground, four people in a panelled room at Old Marylebone Town Hall, and then confetti on those famous steps.
J & S | Claridge's & Fortnum & Mason
A Mayfair morning at Claridge’s, a black cab across town, and a wedding inside Fortnum & Mason on Piccadilly — where shoppers four floors up dropped flower petals down the spiral staircase onto the newlyweds.
Sara & Chris | Chelsea Old Town Hall & Brunswick House
A personal favourite. Black tie at The Artist Residence, a short ceremony on the King’s Road, the best confetti shower I have photographed, and an old London bus across the river to Brunswick House.
Michelle & Robin | Chelsea Old Town Hall & The Phene
A wedding in two parts — a small legal ceremony at Chelsea Old Town Hall with immediate family in November, and then a Jewish ceremony under a chuppah at The Phene, five minutes down the road.
Lauren & Tom | Willow Marsh Farm, Leicestershire
A summer wedding at Willow Marsh Farm in Leicestershire — a barn with a wall of glass, a meadow full of coloured smoke, and two people who were certain they hated having their photograph taken.
Nick & Liz | Marylebone & The Italian Greyhound
A sublime London wedding. A ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall, confetti on the steps, a bus tour around the streets of the city, and then drinking and dancing the night away at The Italian Greyhound.
Aidan & Charlotte | Lambeth Town Hall
An intimate South London wedding — vows at Lambeth Town Hall, a first look in the arched walkway, one long table at the Half Moon in Herne Hill and an evening at The Department Store in Brixton.
Meg & Jamie | Wilton's Music Hall
A wedding on the stage at Wilton’s Music Hall in Whitechapel — the oldest surviving grand music hall in the world, a room that sang along, gold confetti cannons and one of the best brass bands in London.
