... where the river goes ...

A fun Sunday afternoon spent at River Kingsfleet in Felixstowe, Suffolk, with D+J for their engagement portraits. All photographed on film, enjoy! xxx 

... love quintessentially ...

Do I have a treat for you, my little film lovers! When I first met M+J and heard their plans for their big day, I immediately knew that this was a wedding that was going to be DROP.DEAD.GORGEOUS. Being a designer for a fabulous British fashion house,  M set upon designing a wedding that was full of colour, character and creativity! We started off in Hampstead, where J and friends were enjoying the sunshine at one of the best pubs in London, The Flask, before making their way to the church and wait for the bridal party to arrive. Following the ceremony, guests were treated to champagne en-route to the reception venue, aboard a Routemaster! The reception took place at 29, Portland Place, a stunning Georgian town house run by Quintessentially. As friends and family enjoyed traditional English tea in a beautiful setting of vintage and floral arrangements by the incredibly talented girls at Achillea, we headed off to Regents Park for some pretty portraits. The rest of the day was a heady mixture of beautiful speeches, emotional thank yous, and some awesome moves on the dancefloor! I cannot thank M+J enough for letting me be a part of their special day - I had a truly amazing time being their "little ninja photographer"! In the meanwhile, make yourself a cup of tea (after all, what better beverage for such a thoroughly British affair) and enjoy the photos.

... a winter's tale ...

Having flown over from Hong Kong for Christmas, D+R and I took the opportunity to shoot a few images for their pre-wedding shoot in their favourite part of London, in and around Elizabeth Street in Chelsea. We didnt exactly get the snow we all hoped we would, but despite the cold and the rain and the dwindling light, we had a great day out exploring the cosy side streets and taking in the festive atmosphere. Dont they make such a cute couple? I can't wait to photograph their wedding in the summer at the luxurious Mandarin Oriental.
