The stunning wedding venue of Upton Barn in Devon hosted what was honestly a truly breathtaking day with an absolute wedding photography bucket list big tick. With Scott being in the Navy the day was surely planned to go off with a bang but with a guard of honour, confetti and then a timely planned fly by… you couldn’t make it up.

Why I Photograph Weddings

The million dollar question, why weddings? Why not cars, live music or travel hot spots. I often find myself asking this question and of course the easy answer is because I love photographing weddings but what does that actually mean. Well it means from the moment I arrive to photograph a happy and sometimes nervous bride I am emotionally involved in capturing your beautiful day and all the little moments that unfold.

London Wedding Photography - Mia and Khan- Devonshire Terrace

The day started in the sublime Andaz hotel where Mia, her bridesmaids and her parents spent the morning casually getting ready before the boys arrived to have a swift half, put the finishing touches to their outfits and then we all made our way to St Peters Church in Clerkenwell to witness one of the most emotional ceremonies I have photographed all year.
