This wedding was amazing!! There was a torrential downpour during the ceremony and just after, but the skies cleared later so we all got to go outside and enjoy the late summer weather.
The Goughs are just SO in love, they laughed together all day and their chemistry and closeness is just so wonderful to see! I smiled all day editing these photos, and it reminded me how much I love this job!
Much love and continued happiness to you two love birds, and thank you for making me part of your amazing day!

What an incredible day this was!! It is not often that I get to work at a Grade 1 listed Founder’s Building, and I just loved every minute of it.
There was beautiful lighting, amazing architecture, a gorgeous couple, and lots of awesome Bulgarian dancing to be had.. what a perfect day!
Thank you for letting me share your day Vass and Arron, I wish you much love and happiness for the future!!

Set at the spectacular English Heritage Property Kenwood House, this wedding has to one of my all time favourites!
The couple were gorgeous and absolutely lovely, the staff were incredible, and the location was just breathtaking. Surrounded by some of my favourite artists such as Rembrandt and Vermeer, I felt completely inspired all day.
Here are just a few of my favourite shots from the day.. much love to Nik and Anjali, I wish you much love and happiness in the future!
Enjoy!

I had the pleasure of photographing Zena and Shane's gorgeous wedding day at Gilwell Park this summer. It was an absolutely fantastic day.. the bride looked incredible, the venue was perfect, the speaches made me cry and the food was absolutely delicious!!
I always say, that the thing that really makes a wedding special are the friends and family of the bride and groom, and this bunch couldn't have been more lovely!
These two are clearly made for each other, and I wish them so much more love, luck and happiness in there future lives together.
Congratulations you Shane and Zena!




























































































































I knew this wedding was going to be really special when I met with Vicki and Matt. Firstly, their ceremony was to be held at Bancroft's, in Woodford Green, where Matt went to school. This is an absolutely glorious place, with heavy oak doors, and an impressive red brick neo-gothic Quad. I felt a little like I was in Hogwarts for the day!
Secondly, like me they are huge rugby fans, and went along with my bright idea to have a mini rugby match between the groomsmen and the bridesmaids in the quad after the ceremony.
Last but not least, Vicki is a massive Disney fan! They got engaged when they were visiting the magic Kingdom, so I decided to hide a few Mickeys in her photographs. See how many you can spot!!
Thank you for letting me be a part of your day Vicki and Matt, I had an absolute blast!! I wish you much love and laughter in your married life together.
Have fun looking for Mickey in these photos!
