    LARA⚡HENRY NEW ZEALAND TO HITCHIN FOR A SUPERFINE LARA⚡HENRY

NEW ZEALAND TO HITCHIN FOR A SUPERFINE WEDDING! I don't know where to start with this one, Lara dropped me a message on Friday telling me she had been let down by her photographer and could I capture her wedding to Henry in TWO days time, and although I was meant to be busy I soon changed my mind (and my plans!) as I loved chatting to both Lara & Henry, so I said YES to the proposal haha 🙂

WHAT A DAY! These guys, and all their family and friends, were UNREAL fun and made me feel welcome from the get go! Lara & Henry both live and met in New Zealand, but both have links to England via family, so it made sense to pick the beautiful tropics of (check notes...Hertfordshire!) to do the mighty deed! They choose the gorgeous St Helens Church for the stunning ceremony (including a traditional Maori blessing), followed by an incredible party at the ever wonderful Barns At Redcoats, and it was such a genuine privilege to be part of it and witness how obviously right for each other Lara & Henry are! 

HOW LUCKY AM I TO HAVE GOT THIS GIG! I am still buzzing, both Henry and Lara had me in fits of laughter for entirely different reasons, and I think under the circumstances they smashed it out of the park. I am honestly so fortunate that I get to do this as a job and I get the opportunity to meet such lovely humans as Henry and Lara, thank you for trusting me with you day, here are some personal highlights 🙂

Ngā mihi ki a kōrua!

    DAVID⚡KATHERINE THE ONE WITH THE TWO PELHAMS IN T DAVID⚡KATHERINE

THE ONE WITH THE TWO PELHAMS IN THE HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTRYSIDE! I had the immense privilege of capturing the amazing wedding of David & Katherine at the weekend in the beautiful villages of Furneux Pelham and Stocking Pelham in the stunning Hertfordshire countryside and it was a BANGER!

Katherine grew up in the Pelhams, so coming home to do the mighty deed with David was really special, and being able to get ready at her childhood home with her parents really set the tone for an amazing day of high energy hijinks, emotion, mischief and an incredible amount of fun! I bonded with David over our shared neuro spicy life, and it was brilliant seeing the positives of that reality play out on the day as he really embraced the excitement and vibes, making Katherine laugh pretty much non-stop all day, and I don't think I have ever seen a groom have quite as much fun as David did and it rubbed off on literally everyone haha!

Here are a few personal highlights from a superb wedding with some truly lovely people 🙂

    ALEX⚡LOU BIG COUNTRY VIBES & KICKING UP DUST AT T ALEX⚡LOU

BIG COUNTRY VIBES & KICKING UP DUST AT THE ALEX & LOU WEDDING RODEO! There are weddings and then there are weddings...Lou & Alex had one of the most insanely fun wedding days I have ever been part of and it was a honky-tonk hoedown of EPIC proportions!

This was a 3 part day, with a beautifully emotional first look between Alex & Lou, before a legal ceremony in front of close family. We then went for a lovely walk in Ampthill to visit Lou & Alexs favourite pub The Albion for a gorgeous small private reception, a game of cards, and some fun behind the beer pumps. Then they jumped into a pink Cadillac for a journey to the amazing Rushden Transport Shed for a the party to really begin...

Friends and family were gathered waiting for them to have a stunning second celebrant lead wedding (Lous amazing friend lead this) inside the incredible transport shed, full of laughter, joy and a brilliant reading by Poppy their awesome daughter. The rest of the day was filled with games, amazing food, some beautiful speeches, a fantastic wander around the old railway station platforms with Alex & Lou and a non-stop laughter & shenanigans. WHAT A DAY!

Here are a few highlights from an amazing day with two wonderfully perfect humans, I'm so glad Alex & Lou found each other, the love they share with each other (and Poppy) is genuinely wonderful! WEDDINGS EHH? ❤️

    LUIS⚡MICHAEL A LOVE STORY FROM SOUTH AFRICA TO SO LUIS⚡MICHAEL

A LOVE STORY FROM SOUTH AFRICA TO SOUTH FARM! The incredible wedding of Luis & Michael was such a joy to capture, and I have loved hearing about their journey as a couple and how they have both become the best versions of themselves with each other, resulting in a romantic proposal in Luis' home country of South Africa at the top of Table Mountain and then the mighty deed being done at the stunning South Farm! WHAT A DAY! 😍

I knew this was going to be a brilliant day from the moment I chatted to these guys, they have such an honest love for each other, and it makes them both glow in each other's presence in a way that you just cannot fail to see! They actually suggested to me they might not photograph well together, Luis even joked I might have my work cut out for me making them look as happy as my other couples, but I had to chuckle to myself because I knew it wouldn't be hard as they are just so RIGHT for each other that they would struggle to look like there were having anything but the best day of their lives and so it proved, JUST LOOK AT THEM ❤️

This day had it all, so here are a few personal highlights from a perfect wedding, for two wonderfully suited humans! Heres to you Luis & Michael, there was so much love for you on display by EVERYONE at this celebration of you both, and I think that says EVERYTHING about who you are and why you have found each other ❤️

Thank you for trusting me to capture it 📸

    JACK⚡SAMUEL FOREVER & G'DAY, MATE! The wonderful JACK⚡SAMUEL

FOREVER & G'DAY, MATE! The wonderful wedding of Jack & Samuel, accompanied by their ever faithful dog Otis, at the beautiful Crondon Park was as joyful, loving, and emotional as it was colourful! JUST LOOK THESE GORGOUS HUMANS 🙂

Samuel, who came to the UK from Australia just for an adventure, met and fell in love with the fabulous Jack, and the two of them have built an incredible relationship together packed with travel, shared passions, fabulous personalities and their love for their son (yes, a dog) OTIS, who actually had the the best hair do at the wedding IMO haha!

WHAT A DAY & WHAT A COUPLE! It was a blast capturing this amazing wedding for this wonderful couple, I had one of the best groomsmaid groups in ages who had me grinning all day, the laughter was constant, the speeches actually made me cry they were so beautiful, and the Jack & Samuel looked like the happiest people in the world! LOVE IS THE ANSWER 🙂

    LAURA⚡GEORGE THE ONE WITH THE MASSIVE EDITORIAL V LAURA⚡GEORGE

THE ONE WITH THE MASSIVE EDITORIAL VIBES! Oh George & Laura, what a truly stunning day you had at Hatfield Place, and thank you so much for trusting me and pushing me out of my comfort zone with the challenge of adding a little editorial edge to my usual candid style!

I met these two gorgeous humans last year capturing the brilliant day of Emily & Jamie, we had a some running banter throughout, and at the end of the wedding they asked if I was available to capture their day BUT with a little caveat that Laura wanted me to add in a few stylish editorial portraits! I immediately said yes because they are an awesome couple, but as this day got closer my anxiety grew as this was going to take me right out of my comfort zone, I really don't do this style of wedding...do I? 🤣

I need not have worried, I have always been able to shoot stylised images and mix in with my usual candid approach, and Laura & George were the perfect people to capture as they NAILED this wedding and the vibe 100%, so here are a few highlights from a fantastic day that I am truly grateful for being trusted with! WHAT A DAY & WHAT A COUPLE ❤️
