Bury Court Farnham Wedding • Natasha and Carlton

As a wedding photographer, capturing the essence of love amid unpredictable weather is both a challenge and a delight. Natasha and Carlton's wedding at Bury Court in Farnham was an extraordinary dance with the elements, weaving together moments of sunshine, torrential downpours, and enduring love.

From the moment I arrived at Bury Court, the weather played a whimsical game. Bright sunshine quickly gave way to torrential downpours that seemed determined to dance with the couple throughout the day. It was a testament to Natasha and Carlton's love that remained steadfast despite the unpredictable elements.

The ceremony, held against the backdrop of Bury Court's timeless beauty, was filled with touching moments. The rain added a poetic touch, falling gently as if nature itself was blessing this union. Surrounded by loved ones, Natasha and Carlton exchanged vows, creating a memory that would endure the test of time.

The rain paused just long enough to grant us a window for confetti shots and group photos. Natasha and Carlton, along with their guests, embraced the opportunity, creating snapshots of joy against the dramatic backdrop of the ever-changing sky. We seized the moment to capture the love that surrounded them.

Natasha, a true legend, opted for the unconventional. She welcomed the rain, understanding that a bit of dirt on her dress was a small price to pay for capturing shots that told their unique love story. We ventured out for couple photos, the raindrops adding a dreamy quality to the images, making them truly one-of-a-kind.

The weather continued its unpredictable dance during the meal, with rain and sunshine battling for dominance. Undeterred, we seized the moments between showers to capture more enchanting images. The changing weather only added to the charm, creating a dynamic backdrop for the celebration.

With my time at the wedding limited, I focused on capturing candid moments of the guests. The joy, laughter, and genuine emotions that unfolded became the fabric of the visual story. Every image spoke of the warmth and love that filled Bury Court that day.

As the day came to a close, I navigated my way home through torrents of rain. The dance with the elements had come to an end, leaving behind a collection of images that told the story of Natasha and Carlton's resilient love, a love that weathered storms, both literal and metaphorical.

Mayfair Library Wedding • Connaught Hotel • Goode Flowers • A London Covid Wedding • Haruna and Eoghan

During the height of covid, I had many couples still get married. And let me tell you, we still had so much fun! Bonuses included a near empty Mayfair which meant we could use all the backdrops of shops and businesses that would normally be bustling with customers, we could also have a run in the middle of the road! Something I absolutely love doing if the couple are up for it!

The only thing with Covid weddings is that they are short, so I was with these guys for a couple of hours only, but again, thinking positively, it meant that we could spend a lot more time on their couple photos which is a luxury. These guys were amazing - they were up for everything! I LOVED how Haruna picked up her bouquet from the shop directly before the ceremony, and you can never go wrong with Goode flowers - these guys are absolute legends when it comes to florals, plus they always have a fabulous display outside which provides an amazing backdrop for pictures.

Video calling came into play during the ceremony, and that was part of the day so I embraced grabbing a few images of their families on their phones - theses kind of images will be iconic when looked back on in decades time.

During the couple photos it started chucking it down with rain, as only a December in London can! But a doorman from a near shop quickly ran out a gave them an umbrella which was the most heart-warming thing ever. These troopers carried on in the rain - please can more people be like this!

Finishing back in the Connaught hotel, where we started for getting ready, we used their Chirstmas lights to grab a few more shots, and then I left them to celebrate on their own. A covid wedding but I left absolutely buzzing!

Getting ready: Connaught hotel
