Hedsor House Wedding Editorial

Located just outside of London, the historic and charming Hedsor House is full of timeless elegance and grand romance. This editorial combines modern inspiration brides are looking for with the incredible aesthetic of the bygone time. Note vintage elements intertwined with contemporary pieces, like the glamour of the Marchesa gown, soft classic makeup and romantic up-do with field flowers. Groom’s attire, personal details, ceremony furniture and dinner tables that have been set up in the gardens of the Hedsor House create beautiful tension between modern and classic elements.

Portrait Session in Paris

Paris was always an enigma to me. I read about it growing up, visited it during my first European trip and the first evening I walked its streets, I physically felt the pull of its beauty and the power that must have attracted so many hearts and talented people. The city is magnetic, eclectic, elegant and messy in all the right ways.

When I was preparing this session, I felt inspired by the Parisian glamour, carefree attitude and charm, as well as its iconic architecture.

Radiant At-Home Family Session - West London Family Photographer

Love love love this family! This is the second time I had the privilege to photograph these four and this time I fell even harder for them.

Can you blame me?

I didn’t think so.

The tenderness, joy, light, all the hard work this mamma does beautifully and how in love she is with her babies is crazy inspiring. This session was made of endless cuddles, kisses, twinkles in their eyes, moments of the sweetest gentleness and curious energy, dad’s hugs and mamma’s endless creativity.

Elegant Summertime Engagement Session in Chelsea

If only there was a way to bottle up memory, like scent. It would never fade, darken or lose its warmth. And then one day the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living that London summer evening, fragrant with wisteria smell, in love and in that moment all over again. But, wait, there is a way! It’s a photo session and I believe you may need one too.

Elegant Wedding at the Royal Automobile Club Pall Mall, London

I have a very classy wedding preview to share with you! On the day I followed my couple to some of the most beautiful London venues and this was one of the loveliest, most elegant, chilled and heart-felt wedding celebrations I could’ve dreamt of photographing. Official morning registration at the Chelsea Town Hall was followed by the beautiful ceremony at the Maria Assumpta Chapell in Kensington and then the guests enjoyed open air cocktails, live music, dancing and dinner at the Royal Automobile Club Pall Mall. The bride chose the quintessentially English colour palette of white and green, gorgeous gown from the Ellis Bridal and looked absolutely stunning wearing DeBeers necklace and hair in half up-do.

Notting Hill Mother & Daughter Photo Session - London Family Photographer

I met Anna and her daughter for the first time during our photoshoot.  I remember that it was raining that afternoon, in that special London way, just a bit.  I remember that I immediately liked Anna's easygoing warm manner and how readily she smiled.  I remember us chatting a lot while we explored colourful streets of Notting Hill, walked through the vibrant Portobello Market, popped into Gail's Bakery, peeked into local mews and sat on colourful tiles and porches of charming Notting Hill streets.  But mostly, I remember that it felt like I was hanging out with a fun friend, super laid-back and not annoyed at the constant presence of my camera and that I laughed at my own jokes or maybe talked too much.
