So here is a little sneak peek from the wedding of Mel & Roy that I shot on Saturday at Brighton College.

I had so much fun with Mel & Roy, they were both great in front of the camera and were up for all my silly ideas, like getting them to jump around with balloons. We also moved a load of furniture (which I forgot to put back, sorry Brighton College) to make a few other shots.

It was SO hard for me to decide which image to pick as the final sneak peek. But I chose this for a couple of reasons. I really like the expressions of their faces, I love that Roy is looking so sharp in his tailored three piece suit and Jimmy Choo’s……yes thats right, the groom is wearing Jimmy Choo’s and rocking it. Don’t worry though as Mel wasn’t about to be upstaged in the shoe department and is sporting some Christian Louboutin’s under that fab dress.

Oh and whats special to me is that Mel said that she can see her baby bump for the first time in this dress, which is something I love.

I’ll post more images from the wedding at some point in the future, so keep you’re eyes on the blog.

I loved this wedding!

Eleanor & Nick were married on a very wet and dark day in London at the uber cool Century Club in Soho. I’d already shot them for a pre wedding shoot in Shoreditch for their London Graffiti engagement shoot. So they kinda new what to expect with me and my photography.

However when it came to the time that we’d alloted for the couples portraits, it was absolutly bucketing it down. So we had to abandon the idea to shoot outside one of the Soho sex shops (Eleanor’s idea, not mine, but I was so up for that). Instead I just busted out the Off-Camera Flash.

Now you know I love my lighting and teaching others about this. So I jumped at the chance to really go for it and shoot in a few different locations around the club and totally experiment a bit. I’m super pleased with the images and feel that they don’t look like your typical wedding photography, which is always my end goal with my images.

We even ventured outside in the rain for a bit as we all wanted to capture a little bit of London and I almost got run over while running around the middle of a busy road trying to shoot though the bus drivers window.

So I hope you like the images and if you get me to shoot your wedding you can trust that if it does rain and it’s really dark, we’ll still get some stunning images of you guys.

I think it’s really good to go back and look at your old work as a photographer.

We’re constantly progressing and moving on with our work, but it’s always good to look back and see where you have come from and also remind yourself of the ideas that you had back then.

I found this image from a wedding I shot back in 2008 in Dorset and I still really love it. I’d forgotten how cool this wedding was.

I can’t belive that Jack and Anna will have been married for five years this year.

How time flies.
