Catherine & Andy's wedding at York House, Twickenham

Let’s rewind to May last year when Catherine and Andy were married at York House. It was my first time visiting York House and fingers crossed not the last. A historic stately home in Twickenham surrounded by the most beautiful gardens along the edge of the river Thames it’s the perfect backdrop for beautiful portraits.

Their day was full of so many wonderful personal touches. Catherine is Australian and her bouquet, that was organised by friend Alyson, featured flowers native to Australia wrapped in lace from her grandmothers wedding dress. Alongside this she wore a beautiful opal necklace belonging to her mother.

Due to covid Catherine’s family dialled in via zoom to watch her brother walk her down the aisle before a gorgeous intimate ceremony.

Heading out into the glorious southern sun for a showering of confetti we made the most out of gardens and backdrop of the Thames with some family photos and portraits before everyone headed to the pub for a celebratory drink.

I absolutely LOVE sharing peoples intimate days. If you are getting married at York house or having your own intimate wedding drop me a message here. For now here is some highlights from Catherine and Andy’s gorgeous sunny day,

Where to even begin with 2021 - WHAT A WHIRLWIND!

Its taken me a good 2 weeks to process it all and finally feel ready to dive back in to what was a crazy year of weddings. 2021 took me all across the country with weddings spanning all the way from Scotland to Cornwall. It was a year of joy, laughter and so many heartfelt hugs.

The year that threw the wedding rule book out of the window and saw outdoor ceremonies, dancefloors and meals al fresco become the new norm. The height of the micro wedding and elopements becoming more of an option than ever. I absolutely adored the creative spirit embraced by each and every couple that allowed them to get married in spite of any obstacles they faced.

Whilst I could write a whole heap about each and every wedding I will save that for the next few weeks as I showcase so many amazing weddings for now here is a small look into an incredible year.

Once again a huge thank you to each and every couple who allowed me to document their day. To every photographer I worked with and to every person who has supported me throughout the past 12 months. I am as always eternally grateful to you all.

Much love
