Two things strike me above all about Jason and Joanna: One, they are the most delightful people to work with I have ever encountered, and two they are the most hospitable. They also, as I found out by accident, make the best gin and tonics in the world! What a team! I’m also slightly in […]
Here are some images from a fun little cherish the dress shoot that I did with Francesca Battisti Jones the day after her wedding. (You can read about her spectacular wedding to Ross Jones the day before here http://english-wedding-showcase.com/2012/01/06/the-roman-holiday-wedding/ )The idea was to escape off around Rome for a few hours and relive the joy of wearing […]
So, today is a wonderful sunny day and for once I am actually experiencing that elusive thing, ‘the work-life balance’. I think this is as good as it gets; working hard at a job I love, with a little downtime for family and friends. Tomorrow I’m shooting the wedding of Joanna and Jason, so yesterday […]
I must admit I’m a bit in awe of this brilliant family and their two lovely kids. Nathalie and Frederik have clearly created such a happy environment for their family and I love their magical secret garden tucked away in Highgate amongst the trees. Is it just me or are French children better behaved than […]
I’ve just put these up because I wanted to pin them in a mood board I’m creating on pinterest for a shoot. It’s so nice to be reminded of this trip.We snuck in to Monet’s garden at dawn. We had applied for permission but it hadn’t come through, so we just rang the bell and […]
A loud cheer goes out tonight to Truprint for fighting hmrc and forcing them to take the VAT off photographic books. This means that I will be able to offer my books at an even better price to clients and is truly great news. I am totally passionate about creating books that are artworks, and […]
I’ve just been chatting with photographer Nadine Burzler about what the key trends will be for 2012. My feeling is that paradoxically as digital books get more popular, so will wedding albums. Here’s why.Turning the pages of an actual album is a magical, sensuous experience. It is made even more powerful because it is rarer […]
The word ‘journey’ keeps recurring today. Here it is courtesy of Washed Out (thanks Goop!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fYnfE5Cycg&list=PLD8396277179F4C6C&feature=plpp_play_allIt strikes me that, like many things in life, a wedding is a journey. Often couples find that their wedding preparations are a journey of self discovery and reawakening. Many people describe to me ‘the journey of finding their wedding […]
A few playful images from my little adventure in Portofino this summer, with a nod to the recent Dior advert. I thought now would be a good time to remind you that it was summer once…They say Portofino should always be approached by water… My love in Portofino (he’s the one in the hat!) Portofino houses Camogli at […]
I love it when there’s a creative conversation between artists. That’s what happened when awesome art director Thaoski put up a shoot entitled ‘Joanna’s Land of Plenty’. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.275690982456973.86331.162560637103342&type=3Thaoski wrote about how she had meditated with her client Joanna Eden to find Joanna’s ‘land of plenty’. The American Indians believed that everything you really want already […]
