Fulham palace wedding photography - Caroline and Alex

Caroline and Alex had the most epic of weddings at Fulham palace in London with some extra sprinkles thrown in for good measure… Caroline spent the morning getting ready at the Landmark hotel in London near Marylebone but had just a few minutes to show off her dress in the sublime dining room at the Landmark.

Caroline and Alex had the most epic of weddings at Fulham palace in London with some extra sprinkles thrown in for good measure… Caroline spent the morning getting ready at the Landmark hotel in London near Marylebone but had just a few minutes to show off her dress in the sublime dining room at the Landmark. Not settling for one ceremony, Caroline and Alex chose to have an additional intimate blessing in Fulham Palace’s Chapel which is just a fabulous setting. As a great surprise for all the guests and especially the best man, out of nowhere came some sublime singing waiters who were incredibly entertaining and finished with an epic “time of your life” showstopper. All that was left was to go and cut some epic shapes on the dance floor…

Heres a little slideshow of some of my personal highlights from a superb wedding day at Fulham Palace.

I just wanted to reach out and say a huge thank you from Caroline and I for capturing our special day so beautifully. You seriously have a gift! We can’t stop looking at the photos and reliving all the amazing moments you captured.

Seriously, you were so awesome to work with and everyone at the wedding had a great time with you too. Your attention to detail and professionalism made everything run so smoothly. We could tell you put your heart and soul into every shot.

We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding day so unforgettable. It was a pleasure having you at the wedding and we will happily recommend you to everyone and anyone we know who is getting married.

Farnham Castle Wedding Photographer - Jade and Guy

What a corker or a wedding day this was at Farnham Castle in Surrey, the weather was absolutely perfect and as Jade and Guy were getting ready for the day suppliers rallied around Farnham Castle to ensure that everything was on point.

What a corker or a wedding day this was at Farnham Castle in Surrey, the weather was absolutely perfect and as Jade and Guy were getting ready for the day suppliers rallied around Farnham Castle to ensure that everything was on point. Once the happy couple had finished getting ready they took the short walk to Farnham Castle’s Norman chapel where Jade walked in with a wonderful string accompaniment. During the cocktail hour guests were spoilt with an amazing magician who dazzled guests and the adults had to hold themselves back from having to much fun on the bouncy castle. The surprises didn’t stop there… after the speeches the bride had arranged for some singing waiters and later on in the evening an ice luge to drink shots through. This Farnham Castle wedding was such a fun and action packed day and I had such a fun time capturing their story…

Here are some of my favourite captures from my day at Farnham Castle

It was so good and thank you so much, everyone has said how good you were

Surrey Wedding Photographer - Tanya and Rajan - Surrey National Golf Club

This post is all about their HIndu ceremony at Surrey National Golf Club back at the start of May 2023. Both the bride and groom looked sensational and as tradition would serve Rajan arrived to the sound of the dhol drummers surrounded by his family before entering the mandap and awaiting for Tanya.

I first photographed Tanya and Rajan a couple of months before their wedding on the streets of London, Carnaby to be precise for their pre wedding session and it was apparent straight away that they were perfect together and I couldn’t wait to photograph their weddings… This post is all about their HIndu ceremony at Surrey National Golf Club back at the start of May 2023. Both the bride and groom looked sensational and as tradition would serve Rajan arrived to the sound of the dhol drummers surrounded by his family before entering the mandap and awaiting for Tanya. The ceremony was just so so beautiful and I am always thrilled to be able to document such wonderful Hindu ceremonies, they really are such a fun and great way to celebrate a couples love for each other.

Here are just a select few photographs form their day.

Our original photographer unfortunately had to cancel our wedding booking with 5 months to go to the wedding, and recommended Oliver as a replacement. . . . and it was definitely meant to be! From the get go, we both felt extremely comfortable with Oliver and he put us at ease, which trust me for two people as awkward and uncomfortable in from of the camera as us, is no mean feat.

Oliver photographed our engagement shoot and a Hindu wedding and civil ceremony and reception for us, and the photos are amazing! They capture the spirit of both days perfectly with each set truly reflecting what each day was about e.g. the intimate and religious nature of each of the Hindu ceremonies and then the celebration and party atmosphere when we got to legally say ‘I do’ three weeks later! He took the time to get to know us personally and all our quirky nuances which I think really shows in the work he produced.

Our family and friends loved him, knew him by name and were joking around with him at both ceremonies... The bridesmaids were very appreciative when he turned up with a portable speaker which they’d forgotten!

Overall, we couldn’t recommend Oliver enough when consider wedding photographers and know that we’ll be having his photos on our walls for years to come.

Marylebone Town Hall - Helen and Benoit

Helen and Benoit’s fabulous micro wedding at London’s Old Marylebone Town hall and Barrafina had all the luxury and glam that you would expect. The morning started over in Fulham with Helen and her family getting ready before a short ride up to the Old Marylebone Town Hall for a beautifully intimate ceremony with just the couples closest family.

Helen and Benoit’s fabulous micro wedding at London’s Old Marylebone Town hall and Barrafina had all the luxury and glam that you would expect. The morning started over in Fulham with Helen and her family getting ready before a short ride up to the Old Marylebone Town Hall for a beautifully intimate ceremony with just the couples closest family. Helen had then planned a small route around London with some superb spots to make some pictures including Regents Park, The John Soames Museum and then we also popped up to the roof terrace at Benoits office for some spectacular views across London’s skyline. In to the evening everyone gathered at the Spanish restaurant Barrafina in London’s vibrant Covent Garden, for some delicious food and very witty and amusing speeches. Here are a few of my personal favourites form their day.

An absolutely fantastic wedding photographer. We hired Oliver take the wedding photos on the day of our registry office wedding in London and they look incredible. He also did a pre-shoot with us which was really useful. Definitely recommend!!

Screen on the Green, N1

2023 has officially started and boy did it kick off, Roisin and Niall’s London wedding was literally epic. They had decided to get married at the Everyman theatre screen on the green in Islington and boy what a wonderful London wedding spot this is, the seats were full, the screen was ready and so were Roisin and Niall.

2023 has officially started and boy did it kick off, Roisin and Niall’s London wedding was literally epic. They had decided to get married at the Everyman theatre screen on the green in Islington and boy what a wonderful London wedding spot this is, the seats were full, the screen was ready and so were Roisin and Niall. Unbeknown to me Niall had prepared a little movie montage for everyone to watch after the ceremony, a little mash up of some of their favourite shows blended into one, including the bit with Monica from friends with a turkey on her head! A short bus ride to The Depot an awesome wedding venue near Holloway where everyone was treated to some fab canapés, drinks and very witty speeches. All that was left was for these two to take to the dance floor and get the party started which they truly did. This wedding encapsulated everything I love about being a London wedding photographer, it was such a personal and unique wedding and was an absolute blast to have captured for these two. Here are just a few snippets of their day…

Oliver was fantastic through the whole process. He was really great both at engaging guests and capturing unseen moments, and was a lovely presence on the day. We love the photos and so did all our guests. Would highly recommend!

They both got ready at The Artist Residence in London where emotions were already running high the gents donned their tuxedos and the ladies slipped into their dresses including Sara who looked simply perfect. A short ceremony and epic confetti shower the happily married couple jumped on an old London bus and travelled down to Brunswick House. Brunswick House is a London wedding venue like no other, being an antiques shop the items around you are for sale and therefore never always the same, because of this your wedding photographers will be completely unique! They had their speeches upstairs and then moved the party into the basement at Brunswick House and definitely partied hard! Here are some of my favourite pictures from their London Wedding.

I don’t think we have enough words to descrive how AWESOME, AMAZING and just THE BEST Oliver is. Aside from being amazing at what he does and how creative he is with all the shots he took and that he is super fun, what really makes him special to us and a must have for your wedding day is his big heart and care for the couples he works with. From day 1 Ollie was interested in getting to know Chris and I on a personal level and what kind of a couple we were to capture our energy. He just made the entire day from getting ready to the end of the night ,for both of us super fun - getting to kow our bride/groom party and interacting with everyone as a freind/famiy member. Our photos came out better than we could have imagined - Oliver thank you for capturing all the love, emotion, laughter and tears from our big day. It is one we will never forget & thank you for all the care and time you put into working with us.

Devon Wedding Photography - Becca and Scott -Upton Barn

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. This wedding was just so full of personal touches with a tip of the hat to lost loved ones, a quaich filled with strongbow and honestly some of the best dancing I had seen all year by the navy boys.

When I first met Becca and Scott it was very clear what they had envisaged for their wedding day photography and I was truly so so lucky to have been able to capture all the love and fun of it. 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. This wedding was just so full of personal touches with a tip of the hat to lost loved ones, a quaich filled with strongbow and honestly some of the best dancing I had seen all year by the navy boys. My favourite highlight to photograph from the day was the moment Becca and Scott were lofted into the air put theirs arms out like aeroplanes and were carried around the dance floor to share a kiss, just so so much fun!

This wedding has also recently been featured in The Wed magazine and you can find the article here.

Here are a few of my personal favourites from their day and some incredibly kind words from Becca.

Choosing the right photographer is one of the most important decisions for a wedding day, as that person is responsible for capturing the memories that you will cherish forever.

Originally we had not booked Oliver for our wedding, but he stepped in, with a weeks notice when our initial photographer cancelled last minute. We could not have being luckier to have found Oliver.

Oliver found time in his busy schedule that week to arrange a zoom call with us. He took the time to put us at ease, he listened to us and what we wanted from the day. He was calming, funny and charismatic, and from that conversation we knew we were in great hands.

He has a warm personality and seamlessly blended into our wedding day. He was not intrusive but always there to capture every special moment and the essence of our day.
When we received our photos, we couldn’t believe we had a portfolio that represented our day so well, we were in love with every shot that was captured. The photographs unraveled the story of our day that will make it easy for us to relive the magic of our wedding everytime we look at them.

Oliver has captured the most wonderful memories for us, and we couldn’t recommend him enough, he is a supplier that will make you’re wedding day unforgettable.
— Scott and Becca ❤️
