Lydia & Chris – Houses of Parliament Wedding, London

We love the opportunity to shoot in new locations and when we heard Lydia and Chris’s plans we were instantly very excited about their day! We’ve shot in London a few times now but the Houses of Parliament added a little extra pressure onto the never-ending traffic and people in the city!

Their ceremony took place at the beautiful Westminster Church where, 106 years prior, Winston Churchill was married to Clementine Hozier. It was a short trip across the road to their reception venue at Houses of Parliament where we (and all their guests!) had to be security checked and X-rayed. In the morning Chris looked after their daughter Clementine while he grabbed a late breakfast with his groomsmen, meanwhile Lydia and her maid of honour prepared in style with a hotel room overlooking some of London’s most iconic buildings. We always love how you can tell how in love a couple are on a wedding day, we follow them so closely and looking through our cameras all day we loved just how happy they obviously are together, the glances throughout the day and the smiles on each of their faces.

As we braved the horrendous evening traffic coming out of London, ready for our 4 and a half hour drive home, the thing we talked about more than anything wasn’t the buildings, or crowds or incredible weather, it was just how perfect for each other Lydia and Chris clearly are.

Destination Wedding in Portugal

Francine and James both live in Great Britain but since Francine is half Portuguese they decided to cherish her Iberian roots and have a Destination wedding in Portugal. It was a truly beautiful day and the couple managed to surround themselves with great friends and family from across Europe who all seemed to have truly enjoyed the afternoon at the Estufa Real- botanic garden overlooking the Tagus River of Lisbon. Heartfelt speeches, laughs and dancing till the early hours of the next day made it a perfect elopement and I felt honored to be the couple´s Lisbon wedding photographer.

Corinthia Hotel, Central London wedding photography

Every London Wedding I photograph is totally unique -that’s the beauty of having so many incredible wedding venues within one of the most interesting cities on the planet. This was my first time photographing a wedding at the opulent Corinthia Hotel, within a stones throw of the mighty River Thames. Being a central location I wasn’t surprised to see a massive Trade Union protest and march filing past the hotel as I arrived. Hoping it wouldn’t get too rowdy, I did what any documentary wedding photographer would do and incorporated it into the photography – it’s just another element that will take Hui and Jing back to the wedding day when they see the images.

After the ceremony in the Courtroom, we headed outside for a couple of group pictures and portraits, avoiding the still noisy protest, before heading back into the Ballroom for the evening meal and dancing. The Corinthia has a pretty impressive lighting setup, with very strong purple uplighters around the walls. While this gives a lovely warm ambience to the room, it can be pretty tricky to photograph. Luckily, between myself and the five man video crew, we managed to tame the light enough, especially during the all important First Dance.

Here are some of my favourite images from the day. Here’s even more Corinthia Hotel Wedding Pictures.
