GREG + ELLE Sometimes the universe just has better GREG + ELLE
Sometimes the universe just has better plans than you do, and for Greg and Elle that couldn’t have been more true.
After some last minute changes to their plans, Valentine’s Day turned out to be absolutely perfect for these two and honestly from the moment we walked into Christ Church Spitalfields it felt like it was always meant to be this way.
Elle was completely ethereal walking down the aisle with her dad. Her sheer cape caught the streaming sunlight behind her and just floated. One of those moments where everything goes quiet and you just watch. Stunning doesn’t even cover it.
After a beautiful service the bells started ringing, the bubbles came out (a brilliant little nod to Greg’s football team!) and the most wonderful thing happened. A huge crowd of tourists lined up across the street had no idea what they were about to witness and ended up getting the best show in London that afternoon. The whole street felt like it was celebrating with them.
All the guests piled onto a vintage London bus to head to the reception at the amazing Yards while we got to wander around Spitalfields soaking up the sunshine. And what sunshine it was. The first dry and sunny day of the year and it arrived right on time, like it had been booked specially. Elle and Greg arrived separately in a classic black cab and honestly it doesn’t get more London than that.
The evening was so relaxed and so them. No formal sit down meal, just loads of delicious bowl food from Cater London, some genuinely lovely heartfelt speeches, and then the moment everyone had been waiting for. First dance. And because these two are massive Oasis fans, who better to get the party started than Definitely Might Be on the stage. They were absolutely brilliant and the dancefloor didn’t stop all night.
What a day. What a couple. Huge congratulations Elle and Greg,
❤️

ELLIE + CHARLIE What an absolute dream it was to ELLIE + CHARLIE 
What an absolute dream it was to work with these two!  And they had an incredible wedding at the teepee at the Gardens in Yalding, and honestly, it could not have been more perfect.

Their ceremony was led by the wonderful Chloe Green, and it had absolutely everyone swinging between laughter and tears.. Add soft  festoon lights flow, a beautifully dressed teepee, and florals everywhere from Floral Explosion, and it was pure magic.

The weather gods were fully on their side too. It stayed dry just long enough for confetti and a wander around the grounds, where we stumbled across the most gorgeous little glasshouse filled with autumn leaves. Perfect timing, because just as we got back, the heavens properly opened.

Then it was dinner and speeches, with friends and family delivering a brilliant mix of heartfelt moments and a very gentle roast from Charlie’s bridesman. 

Cake cut, dance floor opened, and that was it. Ellie and Charlie left absolutely nothing behind checkout the last frames . It was my last wedding of 2025, and what a wedding to wrap it up on.

Wow, what a year it’s been. I honestly can’t belie Wow, what a year it’s been. I honestly can’t believe how quickly it’s flown by.

I’ve photographed weddings at some of my absolute favourite venues, discovered a few new ones I already can’t wait to get back to, and spent days and weekends with genuinely brilliant people. I’ve laughed a lot, cried more times than I’ll admit, and had the best time doing a job I still feel incredibly lucky and honoured to get to do.

A massive thank you to every couple who trusted me with their day, every supplier who helped make things magic, and everyone who made me feel so welcome along the way. I don’t take any of it lightly, ever.

Taking all of that energy straight into 2026, and honestly, I’m so excited for what’s coming next.

SERENA + TILAK: Part 2 After a quick outfit chang SERENA + TILAK: Part 2 
After a quick outfit change, everyone gathered again for their second ceremony with @chloegreencelebrant. And when I say brilliant, I really do mean it. Calm, grounded, and beautifully thoughtful, with space for couples to just be themselves. Lots of laughter, a few happy tears, and that soft autumn light filling the room.

After a few readings from close friends, Tilak’s nieces treated everyone to an acoustic rendition of Flowers. Then the mood gently shifted into celebration. Big hugs all round, followed by sparklers in the blue hour and a surprisingly warm autumn evening.

Just before speeches, Tilak appeared with the biggest box of confetti and a couple of smoke grenades, and we had an absolute riot. ( see slides 14,15 🎉Another quick change into party outfits followed. They really did go BIG for their day.

SERENA + TILAK Three outfits, two ceremonies, one SERENA + TILAK 
Three outfits, two ceremonies, one incredible day. 

The morning was very chilled and full of excitement, getting ready for their traditional Hindu ceremony beneath a lush green foliage mandap by @botanical_weddings.

Then the energy went up 10x with the arrival of Tilak on horseback. Dhol drummers, cheering friends and family, colourful smoke bombs.

After a sneaky look at Tilak’s entrance, Serena and her affectionately named “wedding cabinet” slipped back inside to finish getting ready, ready for their own dhol drummer procession. 
Their ceremony was beautiful, thoughtful and full of meaning. Rooted in tradition, it centred around the seven sacred steps, each one representing a promise they made to one another. From supporting each other through life, to growing together, sharing joy, family and friendship

After the ceremony, we headed out for portraits in the low autumn sun before they disappeared to get ready for part two of the day.

KELLY + HENRY These two kept things beautifully si KELLY + HENRY
These two kept things beautifully simple with a super intimate ceremony at @sayidoislington , just them and their closest family. Kelly looked incredible in her Reiss Atelier dress, so elegant and timeless. Henry looked properly dapper in his tux, and together they had this lovely old-school Hollywood feel, which suited Claridge’s perfectly.

After the ceremony, we headed to Claridge’s for champagne and lobster in The Fumoir, with its blush pink interior and soft art deco lighting. Claridge’s is such a gorgeous place to explore, from the marble floors to those iconic art deco touches. Even the lift has its own charm with the little seats and that old-school glamour, ideal for a few relaxed photos.

Once we’d had a wander through the hotel, we all made our way to L’Epicerie for a chef’s table lunch that felt so special and a brilliant way to round off the day.

Huge thanks to Martina and the team @claridges for looking after us so well. It was such a joy to capture something so personal and full of love.

P.s Make sure you swipe to the last slide and see if you can spot the little secret kiss in the lift.
