RICH & MANDY'S WEDDING AT BINGHAM RIVERHOUSE

Rich and Mandy’s wedding at Bingham Riverhouse in Richmond London had me smiling from ear to ear. This pair did not stop smiling and it was infectious. The vibrant flowers, location by the river and the dance floor action was brilliant. The day started with an intimate civil ceremony and was then followed by a humanist ceremony led by Brighton based celebrant Roxy Hayde. It was my first visit to the Bingham Riverhouse for a wedding. I am looking forward to getting a back there as it was wonderful, and the chef and his team were absolutely superb.

RIHAM + SCOTT SOFITEL ST JAMES HOTEL WEDDING

I feel very fortunate to have built up a supportive network of professional photographers across the UK, many of whom have become close friends. We team up for shoots, weddings and events, provide emergency cover, business support, training and share the occasional glass/bottle of prosecco whilst mocking each other’s mini-golf skills.

Today’s post are highlights from a London wedding that I second shot for industry colleague Lucie Watson. Thank you Lucie for letting me share these photographs.

My role on Riham & Scott’s wedding day was to capture the perspective of the groom getting ready at his hotel, and provide alternative views and moments throughout the day. The endgame being my photographs complement Lucie’s resulting in the couple receiving an awesome hand curated gallery of images to remember their unique wedding day.

Scott and Riham got married in an Coptic Orthodox church a short walk away from Scott’s hotel.

Scott and Riham held their wedding reception at the Sofitel London St James Hotel.

After speeches and dinner, Riham and Scott cut the cake on the centre of the dancefloor so all of their guests had a good view, and then had their first dance.

CARLA & EGON'S GREAT BARN WEDDING

Carla and Egon’s summer wedding at The Great Barn in Ruislip was one of eight weddings that I photographed during August. It was a wonderfully relaxed and fun affair at a quaint rustic barn venue in North West London. Teresa and I started off the day capturing the final stages of Carla and Egon getting ready in the company of close family.

Once everyone was ready and looking fabulous, we drove to The Great Barn in Ruislip for the ceremony.

After the ceremony, the guests joined Carla and Egon out in the courtyard for drinks. We all ducked back into the barn when the rain arrived and settled in for speeches and street food dished up by Soho Pizza, Little Nicky’s Kitchen Company and Smokey Mac BBQ.

After dinner, we headed out to catch the end of golden hour.

After sunset, the guests gathered around the dance floor inside the barn to cheer on Carla and Egon for their first dance as Mr & Mrs, and then promptly joined them on the dance floor along with live band Signature.

Thank you Carla and Egon for having Teresa and I capture your wedding day.

KATH & JIM'S WEDDING AT THE IN & OUT CLUB

This is Kath and Jim. And this is their winter wedding at The In and Out, Naval & Military Club in the heart of London’s St. James’s Square. Kath and Jim’s wedding was my last of the year. Another whopping 38 awesome weddings photographed in 2019! Kath and Jim were guests at Mel and Phil’s wedding last December. Ten months later, it was their turn to get wed and make some cracking memories in the process.

We didn’t let the rain deter the day. Confetti was thrown indoors during the drinks reception, and the images were absolutely perfect capturing the fun and joy of the moment.

Dinner was held in the ornate Coffee Room after dark.

After dinner, the party moved to the ground floor for drinks and dancing.

MEL + PHIL'S CLISSOLD HOUSE WEDDING

I had a full December of winter weddings. All were completely different and amazing. First up, I was back in Stoke Newington for Mel and Phil’s London wedding at Clissold House. #melwedsphil These guys need to be my neighbours. There, I have said it. Not even sorry. They had me at “there will be lots of cheese”.

In the evening we headed over to the West Reservoir Centre for speeches, vodka, thai food, cheese and epic dancing. Hats off to those guests who tore up that dancefloor. You know who you are. Absolute legends. A mention has to go to Mark Daly Events who was Mel and Phil’s wedding planner. I am in complete awe of his skills and he is so lovely, a joy to work. Here are some of my favourite photos of the day. Enjoy!

AMY & JOHN'S STOKE NEWINGTON TOWN HALL WEDDING

Amy and John’s wedding at Stoke Newington Town Hall was an affair to remember. There is something awesome about London in the summer. The day started at the Rose and Crown pub were Amy and John got ready. Then we headed across the road to Stoke Newington Town Hall, full of art deco character, for their ceremony.

After the ceremony we skipped over to Clissold Park for their family photos and a short stroll before settling down in the quirky The Old Church for dinner and dancing. Enjoy some highlights from their day.

JAMES & RACHEL'S ISLINGTON TOWN HALL WEDDING

I always look forward to an Islington Town Hall wedding.  The ornate town hall set amongst the urban streets contributes to a very modern, cool atmosphere. Rachel and James had a relaxed intimate wedding at Islington Town Hall in November. Following, we headed to The Chapel Bar with their friends and family for their chilled out after party. Of course, being in London, we travelled on a traditional double decker red bus. Congratulations again to Rachel and James.
