Natalia and Alex are just the loveliest couple; and it was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with them. It all started with a ceremony at Stoke Newington Town Hall, then next door to Clissold House for the reception and ending up with the party at The Old Queens Head in the heart of Islington for a London pub knees-up.

This was a destination wedding for me, but not so much for Helen; since this all happened at the family home that she grew up in. A family home that was already sold and that her parents were moving out of 2 weeks later. What better place to say thank you to your roots, and see yourselves off into the future with a big bash of a BYE HOME 👋 attended by all your friends, family and neighbours. It was my first time on Guernsey. I would definitely go back.

Holly + Jack seem able to party like the Stones. I should hate them for this, but for the fact two nicer people you would struggle to meet, anywhere. Their crazy love for one another is obvious to all.

I want to give you the best photography, be it for your humanist elopement in the Highlands, a destination blessing or a family wedding in Nottingham

There was a little gift shop next to @basinghouseweddings which was closed but it had an ice cream chest freezer in it filled with flavours like ‘charcoal coconut’. By wearing the staff down I eventually managed to convince someone to sell me the ice cream *but* they couldn’t take cards because the tills were closed and since it was 2019 I had no cash. Then as if an apparition, @bethaweddings appeared, made everything ok; lent me actual cash money. 🙏 🥥 ⚫️ You really should book @bethaweddings (for this but any number of other reasons) and you really should have spent the day with @kirst628 & @paulofgormley but it’s too late for that now. Even if you make friends with them now, they’re not going to do it again. Which is a shame and very much your loss. Dress by @elizajanehowell, veil @am_faulkner (I don’t usually remember these things but I do recall sending @am_faulkner a whatsapp selfie from prep when I discovered the veil.) ☝️ (Charcoal coconut tastes identical to common coconut btw).
This tipi was a karaoke, pizza, booze, ceremony, confetti cannon, marshmallow toasting, breastfeeding - friendly space. Which is just as well because it rained pretty much allll day for @ginag85 & Mark. They were the absolute perfect people to be crammed into a tipi in Oxfordshire with though, and I wouldn’t change the soft-toned goodness for the world. Great British Summertime 🌧🧡 Got to see @portraitsbridal again, and got to witness Meatloaf First Karaoke. 🙏 🎙 @hadsham.farm
Sometimes all you need is a Wednesday, a dozen people and some sunshine. Rosie & Joe and their tiny ceremony and reception in the dining room at Godwick.
@stephyfliss & @ronniemctavish again, this time their tiny 2-witness ceremony in Bakewell. Here’s to Tuesday weddings, slot machines and chips. 🍟
