The Wedding of Jodi & Jon at Cameron House, Loch Lomond, Scotland

I had the absolute pleasure at the start of the year to photograph Jodi and Jon and their gorgeous little girl Tilly, their portrait session kicked started the new era of my journal (you can click here to view that amazing first post) and now my latest installment is from their perfect wedding day.

Their wedding took place at the amazing Cameron House on Loch Lomond, this was my first visit to Scotland and I don't think I was actually prepared for the natural beauty of this part of the world but you know as soon as my eyes grasp these amazing views I was in awe of the surroundings.  Sitting, relaxing and watching over the Loch was one of the most tranquil moments of my life..... 

The journey started for me with a flight to Glasgow from Stansted the day before the wedding, after overcoming the first hurdle (my clothes arriving on the same flight as me) I made my way to my hotel with two of Jodi's friends, girls you were great.

My photography began with capturing images from the meals in the evening, both Jodi and Jon separated with their families and friends and had their food, talking of food the steak that I had was amazing it makes my mouth water just thinking about it.  If anyone is interested I have a photograph.... :)

The Wedding day, oh my god the weather was perfect, great comfortable temperature, blue skies and the Loch looking as stunning as ever, needless to say I was a little warm, you know I think it's the concentration that makes me hot either that or it's due the fact I'm carry a few extra pounds... :)  The Wedding was such an amazing day and due to the intimacy of it the schedule allowed me as much time as I needed to capture their photography, I really couldn't have asked for more.  If I had to choose a highlight of the day for me then as difficult a question it is there are two, the first being the images I captured of Tilly sitting in the aisle as her mummy and daddy were declaring their love and commitment to each other and the second was the raw emotion felt during all the speeches.  Every word spoken was so heart felt, you know for me the whole satisfaction of being a wedding photographer is when you surround yourself with the most amazing couples, their family and friends and capture these memories that will live a lifetime with them.

Cameron House has this saying "The perfect place to create new memories with old friends" and you know what I couldn't agree more....

Please take time to view their sideshow and images and rejoice in their magical and emotional day, their reception at the Langdon Hills Golf and Country Club is to follow shortly...

My love affair with Bermondsey Village continues.....

This location is perfect for photo shoots, so many great backdrops, it's amazingly quiet bearing in mind London Bridge is only a 10 miinute walk away and the people there are really helpful, from the car mechanics that looked after my equipment while shooting to the bar staff that kindly allowed us to turn the upstairs of the woolpack into my own personal studio space for an hour :))

This was a wicked shoot with Nikki not only did we capture great imagery but we had a great laugh too... She was fantastic to work with and I wish her all the success in the future....

Emma & Scott pre-wedding test shoot...

Only one more day to go before I shoot Emma and Scott's wedding this Saturday at the amazing venue of the Haymarket Hotel in London, you can check out the hotel here.  Last Saturday we decided to get together and do a couple of test shots and run through ideas and poses to help them feel more comfortable with the camera being in their faces ...lol...

It was great laugh apart from me getting really hot even though I was only in shorts god knows what state I'm gonna be on Saturday when I wearing my dinner suit during this awesome British summertime we are experiencing haha....

The test shots came out amazingly well so I have decided to post a selection on here, I wSave & Closeill be following this post up with their Wedding imagery and slideshow so stay tuned...... 

Photo shoot for Holly's 21st Birthday.....

Back in January I had the pleasure in capturing a few shots of Holly for her 21st birthday, it only seems like yesterday when I was 21 where the hell have these years gone lol....

I wanted to capture images that could tell a little story from having her hair and make up done to detail shots of her dress and accessories we then finished by having a 10 minute shoot in the courtyard of the hotel before they all headed out for their night on the town....

I've been meaning to post these images for a while now, I hope you enjoy them.

Portfolio shoot in London with the awesome Dila....

I recently had the pleasure shooting with Dila, we decided to shoot around Victoria/ St James' in the City of Westminster, I had scouted some locations a while back and it was great to finally have the opportunity to use them.  I wanted to do something different for this shoot, I want people to be surprised by the locations and to see how your everyday places can look so cool, I believe that these images are different to anything I've ever seen shot around this area before. I am so pleased to have these in my portfolio.

Dila was wicked to shoot with, she has a great look and a personality to match, she was really relaxed and loved the ideas I had come up with, without her help these wouldn't have been possible to achieve.  We managed to fit loads of outfit changes and locations in such a short space of time, the diversity will really benefit our portfolios.  I really hope that we get to work together again and that she is really successful in what she wants to achieve.

I hope you love this selection of shots from the shoot, I will be adding them to my website soon so check it out when you can.
