On my photography blog: A fun London wedding

London weddings are my favourite! Partly because, hey, I'm a London wedding photographer, so anything nearby is great for me. But also because I just really love the cool urban wedding photos you can take in the city!

Go to my alternative wedding photos blog to see more of this quirky London wedding!

On my wedding photo blog - best of 2013

I had SUCH an amazing year as a London Wedding photographer in 2013. I really tried to shoot more alternative wedding photography, and just be more quirky and creative about my work!

On my wedding photography blog: a Mod, 60s wedding in Brighton

I loooove the Mod look - so a mod wedding shoot was right up my street! Also, it was great to shoot a wedding in  Brighton at long last - I used to live there and I love it there! As an alternative wedding photographer, the colourful style is perfect for my quirky wedding photography!

While I am a London and Hertfordshire wedding photographer, I would love to be a Brighton wedding photographer too, so let me know if you're planning your wedding or engagement in Brighton!

Over on my wedding photography site...a graffiti-filled, urban trash the dress

One of the most fun photo shoots you can do after your wedding is do a trash the dress / rock the frock / day-after / cherish the dress session. It doesn't matter what you call it, the point is that you get to dress up in your wedding outfits again and take more awesome photos! Annemarie and Romain did just that, with their London wedding photography or Trash the dress photography session in Shoreditch, London!

As an alternative wedding photographer, I was thrilled with the graffiti and murals I could use for the photos, and this couple were so much fun that it really was a fun wedding photography shoot!

Over on my photography site... A South African themed styled wedding photo shoot

This is a gorgeous shoot I did on my London Wedding Photographers blog. I always try to do something a little different during styled shoots to inspire myself, and to be a creative wedding photographer, in order to create some artistic wedding photography with a fine art and fashion-inspired feel. The South African theme was carried through by using South African suppliers and flowers, treats and desserts.

Over at my photography site...a Victorian engagement photo session

Madeleine and Edward had a fabulous steampunk engagement shoot in Highgate, including in the famous cemetery, and in a beautiful autumn-coloured park.

Must Love Dogs

Last night on my way home from rehearsal I saw a little Jack Russell wandering on the side of the road. I'd been seeing signs posted up on the side of the roads in my area for days now, about a missing Jack Russell, so I immediately stopped my car and got out to try and catch the poor little thing, in case it was the right one. He/she was so scared, though, that he just bolted away from me into the darkness. I drove to find one of the signs about the dog and called the owner to tell them what I'd seen, and he drove straight out to the intersection. He smsed me later to say thanks, but they hadn't been able to find the dog.

I felt so sad that it hadn't worked out. I love dogs so much (all animals, really), and I just lay in bed feeling sad and missing my dog Shadow, who had died in 2006 at the age of 17, and thinking about how devastated I would have been if she'd ever disappeared and I'd never found her. And in fact, feeling sad and missing all my pets that have passed on. And I've had a lot.

I'm so weird, but I'm really upset about this poor dog and its poor owners. :-(

This is Shadow. What a sweet girl.
