It seems like summer was ages ago now with all this wintry weather, but nothing feels more summery that this lovely wedding in Enfield. Jude and Ricky virtually made the whole wedding themselves, they found a field by a lake, added a tent or two, a few games, a bar made by Ricky and a large dose of sunshine. Thank you so much Jude and Ricky for being so great and having me as part of your day – it was a blast..

Its been a mega busy last few months, so I thought I would share a few images of what I have been up to recently…

A long while ago we ran a small competition in an ace magazine called Oh Comely. The winner of that prize was this amazing couple, Justine and Jon. They got married in the south of France way back in June, and to say that their day was awesome is a bit of an understatement. The reason for this is that it was almost literally put together on the day. It was held at a beautiful old monastery called Chateau de Queill and on the morning of the wedding Justine went and picked all her own wild flowers, the bridesmaids made the paper cone to put the confetti, everyone helped lay the tables (which Jon went out to buy on the morning of the wedding!). The whole thing was handmade from start to finish, even the bridesmaid Naoko Inuzuka made their wedding ring, as well as the flowers. A superb day (and night) was had all round.

I have been very very lucky this year to have met and photographed some amazing people, and i’m a true believer in fate and that good things happen to good people. So when i got a call three months ago from Annette asking me to shoot her and Adams day, in the middle of July, it was just pure luck that it fell on the only day that i had available. From the moment we chatted, i knew that this day, and these two wonderful people would be up there with one of the best days I have ever had. Their Civil Partnership was in Stoke Newington Town hall, followed by a reception at the beautiful Londesborough pub in Stokie too. Being a non gender specific partnership, both Adam and Annette (and Martin, the best man) wore suits, tailor made by Newman Pearce, with shoes by Grenson (I wear these too, and did a few of the guests!!). The part of the day that touched me the most was them reading their vows to each other, which included among other things the promise of puppies and a full size swimming pool. You two are amazing people, the world needs more people like you…thank you so much for a wonderful day.

When Vicky and Scott told me about their wedding day it sounded amazing, very simple and fresh, but what they forgot to mention was the groom’s gold shoes, some table tennis, cheese flavoured popcorn, limbo dancing, table football, a spot of rowing on a lake, the bride wearing a plastic bag on her head, a run down warehouse and some 3D modelling of the bride and groom…! This wedding had it all, and more….
