Whitney and Joe live in New York but decided to marry in the city that Whitney’s parents had made their home.
The consistent, ‘wedding photographer friendly’ weather of the last two months had finally moved on and we had to dodge some heavy showers during the day.
Whilst Whitney prepared with her bridesmaids at her parent’s house in Knightsbridge Joe met with his best man and ushers at the
Builder’s Arms in Chelsea. The pub was just a short walk from the church,
St Luke’s in Sydney Street, which was just as well given the heavy rain that fell shortly before the wedding ceremony. Whitney wore a dress made for her by
Amsale in New York with shoes from
Jimmy Choo and a gorgeous earring and bracelet set from
Cartiér.
After the ceremony the newly weds and their guests had a short Champagne reception in the grounds of the church before travelling across town for the evening celebrations at One Great George Street. The bride and groom travelled to the wedding venue in a 1952 Rolls Royce and on the way we grabbed some photographs in Horse Guards Parade.
The Great Hall at One Great George Street is a fabulous room and it looked even more so with the tables beautifully dressed with floral displays from my friends at Euphoric Flowers. The lovely Erika from Flutter Fly Events organised the whole day superbly and we enjoyed photographing the co-ordinated confetti drop through the rotunda while the bride and groom and all the guests stood below!
The happy couple are currently honeymooning in South Africa and Mauritius.

Nico and Karen held their wedding reception at The Churchill Hotel in London but the ceremony itself took place across from the hotel in Portman Square. The couple both prepared in rooms at the Churchill although Karen started her day at the Daniel Galvin hair salon with her Mother Willemijn and her bridesmaids, Lindsay, Julia and Imke. Karen’s dress was made for her by Phillipa Lepley Couture.
The weather was so unpredictable that the decision to hold the ceremony outdoors was only taken 30 minutes before it was due to get underway. However as the bride entered the square with her father and bridesmaids the clouds cleared and the sun shone.
The wedding breakfast included scallops and pan fried sea bass and was followed by several hours of dancing.
The whole event was organised (including the weather, I suspect) by wedding planners Linda Cooper and Co.

I was really delighted recently when London Wedding Planner Lester Gethings of No.10 Wedding Design and Manangement asked me if I would take some portrait shots of him for PR use.
And so it was, that last Friday we spent the morning in a studio near Wandsworth Bridge eating Gü Chocolate Naughties and capturing Lester in various outfits.
I’ll post some of the great images we captured when they are ready but for now, here’s just one of the photographs I took:
