Although it may seem a lifetime ago now, cast your mind back to this summer, 2018 - the seemingly never-ending heatwave that made headlines across the UK. So you can imagine John-Oliver and Cara’s August wedding was expected to be a sorcher - champagne on the lawn, guests fanning themselves in the late summer sun…
As a wedding photographer, I like to make sure I know where I am going for my clients’ ‘Big Day’ in advance - so I can plan and prepare those perfect photographs in my head before the hustle and bustle of the ceremony. So you can imagine my surprise when the lovely Ben and Amy […]
Well, it's been a little bit of a busy year! So many clients, so many stories and there's no sign of it slowing down any! I so love this job and the people that I get to create images with. Over the past few years, I haven't entered awards as I'm one of only a […]
Every day in the office (aka studio) is a good day. But there are good days and really good days. This was the latter: creating headshots and portfolio images for Libby. This is the second time we've photographed Libby - you can read about the first set of headshots we created for her here. And […]

Some days are surprising. Some days are really really surprising! We had already finished one of two maternity shoots when we heard that our […]
There are many reasons for having a portrait session but a significant birthday is one of our favourites! A beautiful 16th birthday portraits session with one of our nicest clients.
Family photography is the very backbone of our business - and for good reason: there is nothing more exhilarating than spending time (and creating pictures) in the company of parents and kids, particularly when they are so utterly joyful as Jos, Jason and Samuel.
Even a cold, grey day in London can still culminate in beautiful portraits. Our Societies Of Photographers Convention Superclass focussed on being creative with light and location - a chilly, but creative, portrait photography workshop! It's late and it's the end of a long week, or the beginning of a long week depending on how […]
Beautiful weddings need celebrating - the memories are beyond priceless. And the best way of doing that is in a beautiful, leather-bound, hand-made album that will last for generations to come. Enjoy one of our Le Manoir couples' wedding albums! Lilah and Mark's wedding at Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons was gorgeous, simply gorgeous. Everything about […]
