After a limited lockdown wedding, Lisa and Ennis decided to have another wedding for their friends and family once restrictions were over. And what better place than a wedding on a Bateaux London River Thames Cruise!! And with me as their wedding photographer!

Lisa had a few words to say too!
Tammi and Demi live in Larnaca, Cyprus and always loved the historic St Lazarus Church so it was there they wanted to shoot their wedding photography. The Church of Saint Lazarus (Agios Lazarus) is located in the center of the historic town of Larnaca. It is an important centre of Christian pilgrimage, as the remains of Saint Lazarus, were found at this place in the late 9th century. Its tranquil and holy atmosphere make it a popular choice for local couples to marry or Christen their children.

Jenny and James’ Chelsea Wedding took place when covid restrictions still dictated 15 persons maximum in attendance. That didn’t stop this microwedding from going ahead, however, and undeterred the couple decided to have a big party next year and keep their May date intimate and just for family.
It always amazes me how shooting in London can turn up the unexpected. Just down the road I found an awesome backdrop for the first of my images. This summer The Ivy are opening their Chelsea branch of their successful chain ASIA and I thought the builders screen made for a cool backdrop.
Chelsea Town Hall is a municipal building on the fashionable Kings Road in Chelsea and has hosted several high-profile weddings over the years. The oldest part of the building is Grade ll listed and the building has been refurbished and returned to its former glory. Jenny and James exchanged their vows in the beautiful light and airy Cadogan Suite. As expected guests were required to wear face coverings but luckily the couple were not. A simple yet elegant ceremony as one would expect in such a beautiful venue.
After the ceremony we walked through St James’ park and found some lovely spots along the way! It was extra special for James as it is the way he walks to work in the mornings and had always dreamed of having some pictures taken there with his new wife Jenny.
After posing for a quick picture out side the RAC we went inside to greet their family and I took some pictures of the table decorations and flowers, beautifully presented by the talented team at the RAC. The rain held off and everything was PERFECT. A beautiful ending to a lovely day.

Near Islington, at the popular Exmouth Market you’ll find the Coin Laundry bar and venue. A perfect choice for cool couple Claire and Ricci who chose New Years Eve 2022 as THEIR time to celebrate! Once more, a wedding postponed due to Covid, the couple eventually tied the knot abroad but made sure their wedding celebration on home-turf so that EVERYONE could attend, and it was quite simply a night to remember. Claire sang, long-overdue speeches were made and as their wedding photographer of course I was there to capture EVERYTHING.
Jacob’s Christening took place on a beautiful sunny morning at the popular Anglican church of St Giles the Abbot in Farnborough. Farnborough is less than 2 miles from Orpington, and within the London Borough of Bromley, as it has since the creation of Greater London in 1965. The church is popular amongst the local community and is a friendly and diverse place, offering many services.
Jacob and his parents, Godparents and friends and family were all there to witness this baby boy’s Christening and South London Christening photographer Christine Constantine mingled discreetly among them and took some natural pictures.
