Alexia & Matt – Wedding Photography at St Sophia’s and Syon Park, London

First of three weddings in one weekend this, and a whole load of new experiences for me. My first Greek Orthodox wedding, and my first time at Syon Park to name but two. Alexia and Matt had their ceremony at the fantastic St. Sophia’s Cathedral in Bayswater, complete with crowns and trips around the ceremonial table. With the speedy legal proceedings completed, everybody jumped into buses for the crawl through London’s Friday afternoon rush hour to Syon Park.

There the guests were entertained by Greek musicians before heading into the Great Conservatory for a rather hot and humid wedding breakfast. The evening party brought new experiences too with Alexia and Matt performing a traditional Greek first dance, followed by more traditional dances, before the second first dance (!) and the usual party choons.

Bessie and Ben – Wedding Photography at Westminster Boating Base, London

It’s not very often that a London wedding takes in so many of the sights, but Bessie and Ben had organised a boat trip up and down the Thames following their ceremony at St Lukes Church in Battersea. A pair of Routemaster buses took the guests to Millbank pier, and the trip gave everyone a great view of all the great riverside attractions, before mooring at Westminster Boating Base in Pimlico for the wedding breakfast and evening party.

Mary & Simon – Wedding Photography in Much Marcle, Herefordshire

Mary and Simon chose the beautiful village of Much Marcle for their wedding, with the ceremony at St Bartholemew’s church, followed by a short walk to Hellens Manor.

My second illustrator client this year, Mary had created all of the wedding stationery and also the lovely cake topper, as well as spending many hours decorating the barn at Hellens with huge paper lanterns. The day was rounded off with a very enthusiastic céilidh followed by the release of paper lanterns.
