Paris has to be every photographer’s dream. Around every corner is the perfect backdrop, a cute little nook, a hidden delight – all oozing romance and charm…..

In Paris even the street names are photogenic!

Paris however, was also the city that kept Joanna and Adam apart for several months before they married, when Adam’s job required him to relocate for a few months…. weekends on the Eurostar and a long distance romance kept the magic alive, but it’s no understatement to say that they were over the moon to be reunited when we did this shoot, a time when their return to London – together – was so imminent.

We stopped off for ice-cream, sat down at al fresco Bistro’s and paused in front of a cheese shop. Joanna & Adam danced in the street and stole a few little kisses.  Joanna skipped beautifully round the cobbled streets in her high heeled Jimmy Choo’s, with the boundless joy of an American in Paris.

I can almost hear the gentle sounds of that typical Parisian music gently floating through the air…

Hilary & Ben’s Pre-Wedding Shoot in Ibiza

March 23, 2015

Ibiza Chinese Pre Wedding Shoot Ibiza-pre-post-wedding-shoot-002 Ibiza-pre-post-wedding-shoot-003 Ibiza-pre-post-wedding-shoot-004 Ibiza-pre-post-wedding-shoot-005 Ibiza-pre-post-wedding-shoot-006 Ibiza-pre-post-wedding-shoot-007

Hilary & Ben, who you may recognise, have been featured a few times here on the blog. Their engagement shoot in Ibiza where Hilary sported a modern red number, their pre wedding shoot in full wedding attire in Ibiza, a photo shoot around Oxford where they both attended Uni and finally the couple’s wedding day held at Claridge’s in London.

You & Your Wedding Magazine featured Hilary & Ben’s wedding in print, so you may have seen it there too!

It is couple’s like these who come along, just a small handful of times, who are so into their photography as well as their wedding, that really light me up. We had so much fun in all the various locations from Ibiza to Oxford and finally the grandeur of London Claridges.  By the time the wedding came around we all knew each other very well and it made for a very relaxed and smooth day in terms of the photographs.

One final thank-you, Hilary & Ben, for selecting me to photograph such a special time in your lives.

If you are interested in a pre wedding shoot in Ibiza please drop me a line..

Charlotte & Teddy Engagement Shoot in Ibiza

You may have seen Charlotte’s wedding up on the blog a couple of weeks ago. It was certainly a flurry of likes and comments over on Instagram! Charlotte Balbier is an amazing dress designer and being in the industry meant that her wedding was going to blow us all away, which it certainly did!

Charlotte & Teddy flew to Ibiza for a pre wedding engagement shoot with me. It was an opportunity for them to get away, have some couple time and not think about the wedding planning for a few days. I think this is such a special thing to do and a beautiful way to remember who you are as a couple before all the wedding planning business sets in!

Katy & James Pre Wedding Shoot

February 2, 2015

London Pre Wedding Engagement Shoot London-pre-wedding-engagement-0002 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0003 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0004 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0005 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0006 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0007 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0008 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0009 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0010 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0011 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0012 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0013 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0014 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0015 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0016 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0017 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0018 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0019 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0020 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0021 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0022 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0023 London-pre-wedding-engagement-0024

On our shoot I learnt that Katy used to be a yellow, but is now a red-yellow.

James however is a mix of green and blue.

Whilst this Katy explained during our shoot, actually relates to the personality tests given to job candidates, and is a way of categorizing people by their character and personality traits. I think it is actually rather a nice way of explaining how Katy & James complement each other.

Katy of course knew this from the beginning and from almost the moment she set eyes on James at university in Cambridge, knew that he was her perfect match. And nothing was going to stand in her way. Not being the pushy type, however, Katy used her intelligence and skill to engineer opportunities to meet James and spend time with him….. volunteering to be secretary the cricket club? Sure, sign me up….!

Slowly but surely, her plan was working….a friendship turned into romance, the relationship blossomed and by the time Katy & James finished university they were a couple.

Fast forward 6 years and having already bought a house together, James decided to propose at their favourite restaurant in Edinburgh…..

Katy has a smile that lights up rooms – like a ray of yellow sunshine – and James is like her pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Katy cries a lot – at everything – and James smiles quietly. James is considered and measured, stable and grounded. Katy is fast, funny, lively and expressive. Together they make a beautiful whole.

It was the sweetest sunny afternoon spent wandering Regents Park with the two of them and sharing their own sunshine.

Hilary & Ben in Ibiza

You might recognise this couple from my blog, just once or twice before! I worked with the couple to document their love story and their amazing relationship on several occasions….Hilary & Ben’s wedding at Claridge’s was featured in You & Your Wedding Magazine, and we also did a pre wedding engagement shoot in Oxford, where the couple both attended university, although these star crossed lovers only met some years later working in the same department at City Bank.

Hilary brought with her to Ibiza, a plethora of gorgeous gowns and Part 1 of this shoot involved a chic, crimson red dress which we shot in and around Ibiza town….you can see that part of the shoot here: Ibiza Engagement Shoot

It is a Chinese tradition to have pre-wedding photographs in your wedding dress. This shoot was done before the big day and what transpired were beautiful sun kissed images that are worlds apart from their elegant chic London wedding photographs.

Hilary & Ben, it was an absolute pleasure it was for me to be on this journey with you both, from all our engagement shoots to the actual wedding day itself!
