Notley Abbey Wedding • Notley Abbey Wedding Photographer • Notley Abbey Wedding photography • Hailie and Ollie

Hailie and Ollie’s wedding day was stunning! Placed in the epic Notley Abbey it was a perfect place to bring an American contingent to showcase how beautiful England can be.

Throughout the planning process and the wedding day, Hailie, Ollie and both their families made it an absolute joy to be involved and were fantastic in taking recommendations for pictures and places. There were really beautiful touches throughout the day, Ollie’s brother conducted the service, there were songs and music played by a good friend and the speeches were truly heartfelt and very touching.

As well as being so kind and trusting, the whole wedding party were so fun! We shared lots of laughter and jokes, and the atmosphere throughout the day was just pure joy.

It was a pleasure from start to finish, I know they’ll have a fantastic life together in Washington and thank them so much for trusting me with their memories!

London Engagement Photography • St Pauls • Borough Market • Gillian and Neil

Having organised the date, time, location and route as well as Gillian and Neil organising outfits and hair and makeup - there was a lot that went into this engagement shoot. We could control everything, from avoiding crowds to getting prime spots but one thing we couldn’t control was the torrential rain that came down just before the session. We were all determined to do the shoot no matter what, so much so that I went and bought black bin bags to wrap my camera up so I could still shoot safely outside!

We were ready to get very, very wet, but… the Gods answered us and parted the clouds to make it an absolutely beautiful day! It literally cleared up as we started shooting and went to glorious sunshine. We had planned it to be a quiet time for the crowds anyway but because it had been torrential rain the streets were empty!!! Brilliant!

We had a route mapped out from St Pauls to Borough market, and they were a dream to capture, they’ve both been through so much together and their positive outlook on life was inspiring. They were up for every single thing and Gillian even kept a smile on her face and kept walking through growing blisters on her heels.

Stay tuned for the blog on their wedding because this stunning pair didn’t disappoint. It really does make a difference when you have the full trust of a couple and have a couple that really appreciate photography and the art form - it means I am free do to what I really want - I’m so so happy with how their engagement shoot turned out - and even happier with their wedding!
