Civil Partnership Photography for Tony & John

Tony planned the amazing civil partnership ceremony and party for his partner, John, and himself as a great surprise. Although John knew they were getting married (obviously!), he didn't know any of the details of the day which included Tony donning a matching kilt in honour of Scottish John.

The couple live in Jersey and flew in with their 30 close friends for a brilliant weekend at the Hempel Hotel. Tony had strong feelings on what he wanted from his photographs, as he is a professional wedding photographer himself Ivory Pictures and had several of his professional photographer friends armed with cameras on the day- so no pressure on me!

Tony and John were delighted with their photos and have even written to me about their photos, "We are lost for words - we love them - you have exceeded personal expectations, and that doesn't happen very often and your caught exactly what I was after!"

Thanks guys, for a fantastic day and being amazing clients!

Sikh Ceremonies for Tina's Wedding

Tina's chuni and vatna ceremonies (the Sikh tradition of applying tumeric and then a veil to the bride in prepatation for her wedding) were held in Windsor. The house was decorated beautifully, and all of her aunties and uncles came and enjoyed a brilliant day the garden marquee!

Tina was already going to be a beautiful bride, but she did seem to be glowing even more with after being coated in tumeric and showered with love!

Wedding Photography for Kerry & Nigel

Kerry & Nigel had a beautiful autumnal wedding complete with wind, sun, rain, warm and cold all in the same day. Their family and friends were hugely important to them, so they wanted lots of natural wedding photographs of the events of the day and people just having a good time- which you can see they did! This wedding was an absolute delight to photograph- definitely worth leaving London for Buckingham shire for!

Wedding Reception of Maia and Ali in Notting Hill

Maia and Ali were married in a civil ceremony in the spring, so their London wedding reception was special evening for their families from Jordan and Lebanon to come and celebrate with them. There was a real party atmosphere with live Arabic music followed by a disco with lots and lots of dancing!

It was a really amazing evening, and the fun really shines through in the photographs!

East London Hindu Wedding of Rina & Jay

Lovely Rina and Jay were an extra special couple to me, not the least as Jay is ktb's second photographer's cousin. I knew I wanted to do an extra special job for all the fantastic Patels (and I am including Rina as a new Patel!)

The Hindu wedding was on a bright sunny day in East London, and then the lucky couple headed off to the Maldives for two weeks where they had their civil ceremony.

The wedding was quite interesting for me as it was one of the first which was not in English, so I was lucky to know the Indian wedding ceremony inside and out!

Lots of love to the clearly happy couple!

Wedding Photography from Mehnaz & Navaede's Islamic Wedding

Mehnaz is best friends with Umbreen, whose wedding I photographed in January, so our meeting to discuss her wedding photography was like meeting an old friend, and we chatted for nearly two hours!

Mehnaz's religion is very important to her and Navaede, so they opted for a segregated wedding, which was a first for me. I worked with my colleague Samir, who covered the boy's side, and it really was an elegant day at the Radisson Edwardian.

Although I have lots of girlie photos of Mehnaz, her sisters and friends, I have chosen just a few discreet of photos from the wedding to share.

Wedding Photographs from Hampton Court Palace

Well, the wedding season has kept me completely busy, and I am only just catching up on my blogs from all the summer weddings I did!

Samra and Shahzeb had an absolutely beautiful wedding at Hampton Court Palace on the 4th of July, and I had a full hour to capture some amazing portraits of the happy couple on the grounds of the Palace. We go around by golf buggy, driven by the lovely wedding coordinator, Charlotte, so as you can see we really covered some ground!

Samra and Shahzeb were featured for a new Asian wedding magazine, and I should shortly have a copy of that article on the blog.

Big congrats to the lovely couple!
