On Saturday I was at Rowhill Grange Hotel on the outskirts of London to photograph the wedding of Sharry and Eddie. Not only was the wedding ceremony held at the hotel but the wedding reception too so Sharry, her three bridesdmaids and her Mum all prepared in a room there.

Sharry’s chief bridesmaid Jo was a familiar face as I had photographed her wedding in Cornwall a couple of years ago.

Although it had been raining in the morning by the time we all came out of the wedding ceremony the weather had dried up and there was even some blue sky poking through.

The bride and groom had first met when Eddie attended one Sharry’s Salsa classes so it was fitting that their first dance was to a Salsa mix of Better Together by Jack Johnson.

Another gorgeous day in London and another fun wedding. Jessica and Paul first met at Uni and 12 years later here they are getting married!
I started the day with the bride at her parents house in Kent. Once she had finished getting ready, with the help of her five bridesmaids, we all set off in a gorgeous red 1950′s bus and headed up to Westminster for the wedding ceremony.

The wedding ceremony and the wedding reception were held at One Whitehall Place, one of London’s grander wedding venues. On arrival in we encountered a small hitch; the road leading to the venue was closed off because of the presence of one of the biggest cranes you are likely to see. So, we all disembarked around 100 yards down the street and the girls, pulling their overnight bags behind them, made their way to the wedding. As you can see from the photograph a group of workman looked on with interest (but not enough interest to help with the bags!).
Jessica didn’t grumble though, she just picked up her dress and marched on in her siver ‘LK Bennets’.

During the ceremony there were two readings. One of them, a poem called ‘The Invitation’, was particularly touching and you can read it on the web site of the author, Oriah Mountain Dreamer.

After drinks on a terrace that over looks Embankment the wedding breakfast was served upstairs in the Library and followed by a night of dancing.

Lucy and Charlie were married in the Rossetti Room at Chelsea Register Office at 2pm. The weather in London was beautiful with temperatures in to the 20′s and a warm, late summer, sun putting a smile on everybodies face. Perfect weather for a wedding!

The Rossetti Room (named after the local Victorian artist, Dante Rossetti) was the perfect setting for the Bride and Groom and their twelve guests. There was a Stevie Wonder theme in the music chosen for the wedding ceremony; the Bride walked in with her Father to ‘I was born to Love Her’; as the marriage certificate was signed ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered’ was played (natch!) and as the newlyweds left the ceremony room we could hear the uplifting ‘For Once In My Life’.

We then drove out to the suburbs of West London for the wedding reception at Cambridge Cottage which sits on the edge of Kew Gardens. Before a further forty or so guests arrived I was lucky enough to take the Bride and Groom for a walk around the gardens where we got some fabulous shots in the late afternoon light. Lucy looked gorgeous in her Vera Wang dress and Jimmy Choo shoes and she was wearing a fluffy throw that I couldn’t stop stroking (is that wrong?).

The Bank Holiday weather defied tradition and London was bathed in warm sunshine for the marriage of Kathleen and Will. Perhaps this was the Capital’s way of trying to make Kathleen’s family feel at home as they had flown all the way from Texas to attend the wedding ceremony.

We met up at The Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall where the Bride was getting ready along with her nine bridesmaids and her Mother Maureen. Her sisters helped to get into her gorgeous dress (designed by Amsale in New York) and put on her veil in readyness for the short journey to the church.

Rachel and Mark were married at St Pauls church in Chiswick at 2.30pm. We were expecting the forecasted rain to be with us that point but, thankfully, it held off until later in the day. The wedding ceremomy was enlivened by the Elysian Choir who sang beautifully throughout but really sent shivers down the spine with a rendition of Handel’s Zadock the Priest whilst the marriage register was being signed.

After the ceremony the Bride and Groom were whisked away in a Rolls Royce Phantom with the guests enjoying a glass of Champagne on there journey aboard a red Routemaster bus.

The wedding reception was held at the 16th century Great Fosters Hotel near Egham. As refreshements were served I managed to get some time to photograph the newley-weds around the grounds. Rachel was wearing a stunning dress designed by Caroline Castigliano and it was complimented by a beautiful bouquet from the very creative team at Euphoric Flowers.

Euphoric also supplied all the floristry inside the Tithe Barn which is where the wedding breakfast was served. The room looked amazing and no little credit should go to Kelly and her team at the Bespoke Wedding Company who coordinated the whole day.

Kate and Guillaume held their wedding ceremony and the wedding reception at the St Stephens Club in London. Tucked away behind Bird Cage Walk and within a few hundred yards of Buckingham Palace this intimate venue was a perfect backdrop for the Bride and Grooms Anglo French celebrations.

On Saturday my wedding was in London. Chris and Jen held their ceremony and wedding breakfast at the London Rowing Club on the banks of the Thames at Putney. The club is full of history and character and made a suitable backdrop at the start of a sunny August Bank Holiday weekend.

Wedding Photography at the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists

A Sunday wedding this week; it was a sweltering 30c in London and although it’s nice to have the sunny weather I couldn’t help thinking that perhaps we could do with a bit of rain to ease the drought…

Anyway, Genevieve and Jason were married in the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists on the edge of Regents Park. We were lucky enough to enjoy two ceremonies; a civil ceremony, including the official register signing, preceded by a very unusual inter faith celebration. The couples Christian and Jewish backgrounds were both represented in the hour long service in which ministers from both faiths took part.

The cosmopolitan nature of the wedding was also emphasised by the different origins of the families; Genivieve and her family are from Hong Kong whilst Jason’s roots are in South Africa.

The guests were fortunate enough to see the bride in three different dresses throughout the day (apparently there was a fourth as well!) whilst the Groom, rather conservatively, wore the same morning suit from start to finish.
