A little while ago I was invited to a real treat; a wedding at the Savoy Hotel. Olympus have created a new camera, the OM-D EM-1, to rival Nikon and Canon, and they wanted me to give it a whirl, along with 10 or so other leading photographers. It was such fun to hang out […]
Today I want to share with you this beautiful book of Ross and Kika’s stunning Italian wedding set in Rome. It is a bijoux, 7 x 10 inch Queensberry album and it is exquisite. The cover is shimmering blue silk and the pages are wonderfully thick matted ivory, edged with carved silver. The images are […]
I hope you’ll forgive me for only a tenuous link to brides and weddings today, in that both the Shard and St Paul‘s are pretty fabulous wedding venues (why not both?). Recently I visited the Shard with my son and had a little play with my camera. As you might expect, it’s a pretty fabulous […]
From my archives, reworked. A little summer fantasy! This is what I’m dreaming of, at the moment:

Alexandra and Yaser met yesterday for their First Look. For them it was a chance to have a formal photoshoot in wedding attire to send to relatives far afield, who want them to have a traditional wedding. They will then have a funky sixties wedding next week! Alexandra loves very glamorous, vintage black and white […]
