Before the wedding

Even though Sophie and Alex’s wedding was in the middle of June, the weather for their day wasn’t looking particularly promising. I got to Alex’s house nice and early in the morning where I photographed him and the chaps getting ready and then we walked to the venue together. Just as we were arriving at the venue it started raining but luckily we were all prepared with brollies. As I’m writing this I now remember where I left my brolly and why I couldn’t find it a couple of days ago - it’s at Clapton Country Club!

Photographing the wedding

The rustic décor and industrial look of the venue worked great with the guests’ colourful outfits. There were lots of moments to photograph - exactly what every documentary photographer is hoping for.

The dancefloor was one of my favourite ones so far - incredibly wild. This was thanks to the sax player - Dave and the band they had in the evening.

It was a great wedding to photograph. I’m glad I got to talk with some of their guests and get to know them and I had a fantastic time at their wedding.

Such a pleasure to photograph this wedding alongside Olly Knight - my mentor and friend.
