Your Wedding is not a Photoshoot.

So here’s the deal:

You guys celebrate your wedding with all the joy and heart that you can muster. Revel in the stuff that means the most to you. Spend as much time with your guests and your family as possible. Laugh or cry as mood and meaning demand. And don’t even consider acting for the camera.

And I’ll DOCUMENT it.

Matt getting altitude at !

These wild moments don’t happen during the first dance, or even shortly afterwards. They invariably happen in the final hour of the wedding and this, ladies and gents, is why I shoot until midnight as standard. Oh, and I WILL get amongst it!

If you’re in charge of moving flowers from a church to a venue and it happens to be raining, it’s useful to know that they can also double as an effective (and fashionable) head-mounted umbrella. Genius. 💐 ☔️

If the adjective ‘sexy’ ever applied to a table…. this table is it. Yesterday was Zuzanna & Ben’s anniversary and a quick dive into the archive reminded me of this drool-worthy setup.

I’ve got a rule about details. I shoot them, but they’re never central to my coverage. I’ll always prioritise meaningful interactions and moments above an inanimate object. You guys laughing with your old friends who have flown in from Australia for the wedding will ALWAYS trump a dining table. No matter how sexy the tablescaping.

And yet, although I can’t be in two places at once, there normally are opportune moments to steal away and grab a few details. I don’t go to town on these shots - I work quickly and I’m not one for complex ‘flat lays’ - but a few well chosen minutes are often worth it. You’ll have poured a whole heap of time into visualising and planning all sorts of small details about your wedding day and those choices take on meaning as relevant subjects. They become part of your wedding.

So while people remain the bread and butter, details matter too. They’re the jam if you will. Or ham. Or marmite. Right this analogy can f*ck off now.

On this day in 2021. Happy Anniversary to these two winners! Simply one of the best weddings ever.

With the weather how it is, I’ve been thinking back to some of the wetter weddings I’ve shot over the years. This one, in Silchester some years back, wasn’t torrential but it drizzled for just about the entire day. On the plus side, they had a flippin’ petting zoo - arguably the most awesome wedding day entertainment I’ve ever seen!

Megan & Taku - Nymans - 14.08.24

Megan & Taku were legally married in Japan a few years back so their day was all about making a public commitment, post-covid, and finally celebrating with their families.

Megan told me that she was particularly keen to show her Japanese family and friends the best of England. Nymans was the perfect setting - a truly sumptuous landscape with a ceremony in the Loggia of the Sunken Garden followed by a very chilled out and relaxed summer garden-party vibe.

The ceremony was delivered in both English and Japanese for a fantastic inclusive feel and I doff my cap to both celebrant Ali Williams and Bridesmaid Harriet for aceing the Japanese translation. My Japanese runs to about five words, so I am perhaps not the best judge but body language says a lot and everyone seemed to love it.

The evening began with the ceremonial opening of a sake barrel - a tradition that was new to me but which I am told is a little similar to a cake cutting. For my money it blew a cake cut out of the water. For a start, it involves whacking the barrel with a mallet, and secondly, there is sake. Yes please!

It was also great to work with some of my fave suppliers. My OG Hair & MUA mate Alison Smith and the best DJ I know, Jethro Meyer. New to me were Ali Williams on ceremony duties (what a pro), Maria from Tangle & Wild who did some seriously amazing floral magic and Hermione of Fresh Catering & Events who basically had my mouth watering all day. Tying it all together was Sophie Sherriff who looks after weddings at Nymans. Wedding coordinator is a seriously tough job to do effectively and she absolutely bosses it. Rarely have I met a planner who facilitates and supports so well.

Francesca coming down the aisle to marry Cal in Keble College’s truly magnificent chapel.

This was my first visit back to Keble since my original outing as a professional wedding photographer way back in 2008. Surprisingly I think I found it even more intimidating this time - clearly wild youth and photographic naïveté masked any nerves I might have had!

Bob was SO excited to join the party yesterday. He very nearly stole the show and made friends with an average of 17 people per minute setting a new Guiness World Record along the way. What a legend.
