Thirty-Sixth Collection

Loving this shot taken right after Sonam & Shailen’s Hindu ceremony in the beautiful garden in Fennes Estate. What a romantic mix of Autumn colours!

I remember asking this lovely couple if they were happy for me to put them in a car and take them around Russell to a spot I had in mind for some of their photos. They said "yes" and this is how this kind of magic happens.

Masahiro & Risa, a charming and friendly couple, had a wedding at St. Catalina Seaside Chapel. The chapel is located at the most beautiful place in East Oahu, Hawaii. After the ceremony, the couple gave families and friends leis and heart-shaped sunglasses. They did make a photo shooting much sweeter! They asked bride more kisses many times! Groom burst out laughing! It was the time that I took the unforgettable moment on their Big Day:)

I work as a fashion and wedding photographer. I was hired by a veil designer to photographer her designs for the year. Over a period of days I photographed several models at several locations. This shot was taken on the fly and is one of my favorites.

"How will it looks like? Will everything be as we wanted? I can't wait!"
Surprised smile catched in a moment of bride's enthusiasm with first see of wedding decoration.
An impatient bride wants to look into a wedding salon and get surprised to see that someone else have a chance to see it before - the photographer!

in this zoo which was very crowdy we only had a split second to make the shot without passengers passing by.
one of the brides friends stopped the passengers for a sec on the other side while i was screaming to the persons who wanted to enter the hall to give me a few seconds to make this photo.

one flash with grid on their faces, one in de back on the ground and this was the happy result :)

Rahul & Upasna. What a big fat wedding it was in Mauritius. Simplicity in the most glamorous decor. The couple wished to have a post-wedding photo shoot in one of the most beautiful hotels of Mauritius. Love the interior of the hotel. Here is the result among the many other beautiful artworks

I love this classical picture. It has the rounding and movement of a wave in the sea, as a symbol of the perpetual movement of life itself. In the heart of this wave is the brides couple, celebrating their love for each other, safely surrounded by the forces of nature.

What a great day at the lake. Wind, sun and clouds, all there to embrace this lovely young couple. You can image they just arrived with the rough sailing boat on the right, spending an intimate moment in the middle of a joyous wedding day.

The couple had just sat for their wedding breakfast, so I walked to the bar along this corridor. That is when I saw the potential. It was just about setting it up and as it was a long corridor and I wanted to keep then distance behind. I am a huge fan of symmetry and after straightening up the lampshades I placed the couple half way, just in front of the arch, and just backlit them with OCF - I used my phone to reflect the ceiling detail and lampshades.

This is the room they got married in. Not that you would recognise it. We realised we could switch the chandelier with the wall lights. Set everything up, and asked Leigh and Sam to pose a little.

Sparklers! Fire! Danger! It's always a tricky one to capture. There's a hundred guests to manage, a one take experiment, and a very short burning time. For some reason, I love these. The madness, the last minute panic, and overall chaos - exactly how I like it!

One last time, just before the end of the night we cleared the entrance to the Ritz Millenia Singapore, and precipitously asked Su Mae + Bryan to stand on the edge of a very slippery edge. We arranged our strobes, and took the shot.

Wedding day or maybe wedding night;) I'm talking to the groom - hey! give me your best friends - we go outside, but please take your phones with you. The picture was taken not far from the restaurant, and believe me that despite the late hour, they collaborated in a fantastic way;)

I love being at a wedding from start to finish because I never miss out on any moments from getting ready to the late night reception shenanigans! Love this getting ready shot. Most of the time the room doesn't allow for this type of layout and layers but glad it worked out!

I have always been in love with Houghton House and I knew it would be the perfect place to shoot Ren and Dom. This amazing couple contacted me with the request to get some romantic shots in their wedding attire to mark their first anniversary.
The shoot felt indulgent, I normally only have a short amount of time alone with the couple during a wedding so I was really able to capture them and this historic building from a myriad of different angles. Almost every wall offers a totally different look. I love this particular shot, the framing and embrace of the couple contrasting the ruin of the ancient mansion.

It was a very windy day and cold on the day of shooting, but I had this place as a plan B which we ended up shooting there. It was the best decision to get in and capture great photographs for this couple. The flash was not allowed and I wanted to create some effects with lighting. Then I tried to think of something to make the photos more interesting. I put them in a great pose, very intimate with the amazing architecture background to create this beautiful shot.

So much love with this couple. A wunderful day full of love and beautiful moments. I was so glad that they choose this venue as their photolocation. It’s an industrial former grainhouse and I just love it!

I love this photo of the cute bridesmaid watching the bride having her make-up done. She has a really intriguing facial expression. This was taken before Shelley and Alex's wedding at The Lensbury in Teddington.

James and Julie tied the knot in the Canadian Prairies on the farm where Julie grew up. Their day was a beautiful celebration of love. It's beautiful to see James' dress uniform from the Canadian army alongside custom-made dress Julie wore. They perfectly incorporated their heritage into their wedding day. We love the striking clouds meeting the horizon of the plains centred on a simple kiss.

Kate and Jonny got married at one of my favourite churches in Cheshire. Reverend Tim would make anyone go to church! After an entertaining ceremony, the couple's guests were really excited for the confetti shot and as the wind picked up an abundance of confetti came their way. Kate and Jonny reacted with these cracking expressions!

It was just a perfect day in Cuba where the sun was absolutely fantastic, offering the best light we could imagine! That specific shot was taken on the white sand beach where the ceremony took place. It was minutes after the wedding and on our way to the reception. I absolutely love to look at Valerie and Yanick faces. Valerie's excitement is palpable and I'm sure the smile on Yanick's face is just him seeing and feeling that same thing! What a great couple and a fantastic day to remember for them and for me as well! ;)

I am a Miami based photographer, when I received a request for a Colorado winter wedding, I jumped at the chance. The night before the wedding the snow came down hard, it was amazing, everything was covered in white. This was a dream come true for a tropical weather photographer ;)

Bride on the staircase at Ashridge House in Hertfordshire. More of a castle than a house! I was really keen to make something of this staircase, but throughout the afternoon the area was full of guests. This was set up during the wedding breakfast and the bride spent a few minutes with me in between her dessert and coffee. Taken hand held on a Nikon D600 1/8sec f3.5 at 14mm with two diffused SB600 guns on stands

When Kelsie and Jordan asked me to travel to Santorini to shoot their destination wedding I couldn't pack my bags quick enough! Straight from the service I took these guys for a little walk up to a small town called Casteli, the locals welcomed them with open arms and half way up they stopped for a first moment alone as the White's.

We had a day of constant wind and rain for Molly & Johnny's Stapleford Park wedding in October , and it really wasn't looking great for anything outside, but deep into the evening we had a small window of opportunity to grab this dramatic back-lit portrait of them both! The light helped them pop and also it helped highlight some of the rain drops falling - pretty pleased with it overall!

I’d seen the festoon lights outside Shustoke Barn before but for one reason or another I’d never used them for any photos so I asked if the bride and groom wanted to pop out for a couple of minutes for some evening portraits. It was a cold February evening so we didn’t stay outside for long but I’m pretty happy with how this shot came out!

When I received the first correspondence from Sloan asking if I would travel to Baltimore on a Tuesday in the middle of January to photograph a gothic themed wedding, I thought it was a total fraud. Then we FaceTimed and I knew they were real and indeed serious. They had seen other published work of mine where I photographed a gothic wedding and wanted me to be there for their special day. They planned this wedding for only about 8 guests; their nearest and dearest. The ceremony was short and sweet, only about 20 minutes. But it was filled with laughter and happy tears. It was a pleasure to be there for them to bring their vision to life.

Thank you for this award. I love this photo and glad you like it too.
Captured outside The Amadeus in London for Fleur and Jamie’s winter wedding.
Fleur wanted a shot of her and her bridesmaids that was less formal and reflected their friendships.
It’s a simple shot but the colours, tones and expressions just tell the story perfectly for me.

Kyle & Arselia are are old souls with a romantic southern love story. I wanted to capture this in their portraits, so I chose to photograph them along this old fence line and edit this photo in black and white for a timeless feel.
