The next instalment in the ‘Moments’ series is again one of those moments.

I think the expectation at a wedding is that the bride will always be the one to cry, but I love it when a groom gets emotional.

Nina was running a little late for the ceremony and the excitement and anticipation in the room was palpable when she walked in. I could see Miguel’s nerves turn to happiness as she walked into the room.  They held each others hands tightly, for most of the ceremony and kept smiling through out. When it came to their vows they decided to make it really personal and wrote each other the most beautiful and heartfelt letters.  As Miguel unfolded his letter, a nervous giggle set in and as he started to read to Nina, a tear rolled down his face. Overcome with emotion, he wiped away the tears, took a moment to regain his composure and tried to carry on, but not before Nina leaned over, gave him a kiss and then grabbed his hand to offer her support.

As I took this photograph, I had tears rolling down my face.

To be a witness to such love was something special, but to be able to capture that moment and then give the couple that special memory is something else. To me THIS IS IT. This it why I do what I do.

A pink haired bride, a bearded groom, a handmade dress with a cape, the Ace Hotel and a pub reception…an awesome London wedding.

When I turned up at The Ace Hotel, the room was full of excitement, some great music and Sarah sat in the chair, being pampered. It was great to see Sarah so relaxed and excited to see family and friends, that had travelled from all over the world to be in London for her wedding.

I dont know what it was abut this wedding, but I came away knowing that the only thing that matters is the people you surround yourself with, the love and support they give you and what you give back. Being in that ceremony room with these two, there wasn’t a dry eye in the town hall. To know you have that level of support around you when the start the next adventure, is nothing short of amazing.

I felt very privelaged to be a part of Sarah and Adam’s day, to capture those little moments and capture them surrounded by their closest friends and family. This is the reason I photograph weddings, I get to give a couple a beautiful set of images that tell an amazing story.

Becky and Tony did just that and as soon as their family photos were complete, most of their guests made a beeline for the pub.  We hung back to do a few portraits and when we were on route to the pub we bumped into Becky’s grandparents. What I loved about these two is that before the wedding, they were both in the pub, having a cheeky drink, in a local pub.  Becky showed me a picture of her grandma, drinking a cocktail out of a mason jar. 

On the walk to the pub, I jumped ahead and looked back to find the two of them walking hand in hand, full of smiles. It was as I was looking back that I noticed Becky was joining them, linking arms with her granddad, giving him a helping hand but also getting to spend some time with her grandparents before the excitement of the reception begins.  

Becky’s grandparents are not from London so I love the sight of them wandering down the east end streets, surrounded by the hustle and bustle.

The three of them together on such a very special day.

So today is Jess & Jordan’s 1st wedding anniversary.

This time last year I was heading down to Worthing to photograph their wedding. As always, on the way to the wedding,  I was full or nerves and excitement, hoping the weather held out for their portraits. On the way back from their wedding, I was full of energy,  feeling very lucky that I had been a part of their day, excited by the moments I had captured and a little overwhelmed by the support they had around them.

I still need to share their full wedding with you but today I have decided to share the impossible project polaroids from their wedding day.

1 year on and these guys are a staple in my weekly life.  Not a week goes by when I don’t chat to these two.  Numerous slices of pizza have been consumed, copious amounts of coffee have been drunk, adventures have been had and there was 24 hours in Berlin (but more on that in another blog post)

Hanging out with these two, you realise anything is possible. They are creating the most amazing life together and are so in love!

Happy Anniversary Guys!

Every time I think about their day, I can’t help but smile. I shed a few tears during their ceremony, sung my heart out as they walked down the aisle, cried and laughed so hard during their speeches, did a shot of rum during the toasts,  danced the night away and I walked away feeling like I had made friends for life.

More often than not, I tend to forget about the polaroids until I send my couples a little package. At this point, the couple won’t have seen the polaroids so it is a lovely little treat, when they open their post.

There is something so special about polaroids, and I love being able to give my couples a little bit of the magic.

When it came to their day, the rain let up and Craig waited patiently on the beach for Carolyn to appear. There were smiles, laughter and a few tears.  I then spent about 45 mins on beach taking their portraits, letting the two of the have some time alone, drinking in the excitement and letting all the nervous energy fade away.  

These are just a few photos from the first look. I can not wait to share their whole day with you.
