Creative wedding photography in London at Richmond Park

Recently I photographed a wedding in Richmond in London. Marc and Esther were very chilled out and down to earth. The wedding was aimed to be a very low key event as the couple have already tied the knot on an island just the two of them. So they just wanted to have a good time without all the fuss. The ceremony took place the the Catholic church Our lady queen of Peace in Richmond and the wedding party followed in the lovely gardens of The Marlborough pub which I can say is a very stylish gastro pub in Richmond. The pub was just minutes away from Richmond park so the park was an ideal location for the family wedding photography session and for the wedding photos of Marc and Esther. Wedding photography in Central London is always challenging as the parks in London are often busy but we were very lucky and we managed to take some beautiful wedding photos. I love the lavender in Richmond park as it not only helped to create some artistic wedding photography results, but it also gave this romantic feeling. The bride's brave decision on the red hair-piece and the red shoes added even more colour to the wedding photography. I love playing with various photoshop effects and in this case the antique effect gave an interesting feeling to these wedding photography images in Central London. I love when couples spend plenty of time with me on the photos as the extra time always results in more creative wedding photography.

Central London wedding photography / St. Mary's Church Battersea and Lansdowne Club wedding photography



















Central London wedding photography is always a treat. Unlike destination wedding photography when I do Central London wedding photography travelling takes no time, I am familiar with most sites and I know my way around. This Central London wedding photography job was my first wedding in 2012 and I can say it was a very typical English wedding. The wedding ceremony started at St. Mary's church in Battersea in Central London and the rain was by default upon us. We were very lucky with the weather though as it started raining just as the bride was arriving in the church and the rain was over by the time the wedding ceremony finished. So it was very fortunate that it stopped by the time I had to take the family wedding photos outside the church. It was equally good fortune that the scaffolding of St. Mary's church was removed recently so it allowed for some beautiful family wedding photography in this Central London church. The cloudy weather provided lovely lighting and I was very pleased that we had plenty of time with Matt and Venetia to take some more artistic wedding photography on the stairs of the church. Wedding photography in Central London is not always easy to achieve as most churches do not have a beautiful garden or any garden at all. St. Mary's Church in Battersea however not only had a pretty garden but also a lovely view of the river. For a more English feel of the wedding photos we chose to do the artistic wedding photography on the side of the church with an interesting brick wall as a background. I love the combination of the brick and the bench as they gave that urban feeling to this wedding photography in Central London. The wedding party then preceded to the Lansdowne club which is a private members club in Central London for the wedding reception and ceremony. I always love doing wedding photography in the Lansdowne club (www.lansdowneclub.com) as it's again a very typical English gentlemen club in Central London. It's perfect for a wedding ceremony not only due to its beautiful interior but also as it has a lovely courtyard which is perfect for a wedding reception. I couldn’t help but admire Venetia’s skill when I found out that she herself made the wedding cake.

Artistic Newborn Baby Photography Central London
































Here are some some newborn baby photos that I have recently photographed at a client's house in Central Lodnon. With newborn baby photography I always recommend to do the photos at the client's house as it might be more convenient both for the mom and the baby. I usually bring around my lighting equipment and a number of props to make the shoot more interesting, though I love the simple close up baby photos when the baby finally fell asleep after we tired it with changing the outfits for the initial newborn photos with the props.
Baby photography is not always an easy genre as a lot depends on what mood the baby is. But with my baby photography sessions I try to be as accommodating as possible as I know newborn babies can be quite temperamental. We had a lovely cup of tea with the mom of the baby until the baby fell asleep so I could photograph these serence baby photos of the little newborn boy.
