“Today, Andy and I celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. Looking back, we had such a wonderful day surrounded by our friends and family and the photos that you took really captured the joy we (and, hopefully, our guests) felt that day. 

Sadly my mum passed away very suddenly in March 2018. She always reminisced about how much she enjoyed our wedding day and I really cherish a particular photo that you took of the two of us (above). Throughout the day, you managed to capture the sheer delight she felt and the fun she had, particularly on the dance floor! Ironically, we asked you to focus on taking some photos of my nan and, at 92, she is still going strong!

“On a happier note we absolutely love the photos and the video. As you know we avoided looking at the photos & video whilst on our honeymoon but when my gran went in to hospital, I sent it over so that she could be shown it. You actually capture a bittersweet moment of her telling me that she had been so worried that she wouldn't make the wedding and that she was so glad she had. So thank you.”

THE LONDON SCRAP BOOK - January

So even though this is technically number two of my London Scrap Book I am going to say it’s number one because it’s January and it just felt WEIRD putting #2 by it!

I’ve been thinking about how to record all my adventures in London and I’ve decided to start a monthly personal blog called The London Scrapbook – a perfect place for me to write down all the things I’ve been loving that particular month. One of the reasons for moving to a city was the culture & vibrancy that it has to offer so I am also hoping that recording it all will make sure I bloody go out and do it! I am also really hoping to shoot more London weddings this year and next and exploring different places around Hackney which help me spot some good locations…

I’m going to open with a cliche here and just say it feels like about five minutes ago I was doing my best of round up for 2018 and yet here I am on the 2nd Jan 2020 (Am I the only one who still feels like it’s a made-up futuristic date?!) attempting to plough though tens of thousands of images to select my absolute favourites.

Making these slideshows is partly about show casing my best work to new couples (obvz) but also it’s a massive reminder to me about a) how far I’ve come as a photographer b) how damn LUCKY I am to meet all these wonderful people and c) that I am actually doing OK as a self employed camera lady bumbling her way through life which quite frankly is how I feel most of the time.

“I just wanted to say we were delighted to receive our wedding photos so beautifully displayed. I know I could look at them all on a daily basis! Going to be hard just choose one for our thank you cards. Really grateful for your expertise on our wedding day! Not only a great photographer but just generally lovely and helpful - it was a pleasure for you to be part of the day!”
