Shortly after Taylor met Tracy, they came to visit Windsor and both fell in love with this historic town. The narrow cobble streets surrounding the Windsor Castle and the beautiful Windsor Great Park have made a lasting impression on both of them. Since that visit they always wanted to come back and have an early autumn […]

City weddings, country weddings, exotic destination weddings and local weddings, all of them are special and unique in many ways. Each of them deserves to live in print, in form of photographs. A tangible reminder of the lovely times. That’s how it feels to the photographer to have their work featured in print in a magazine. […]

Unjulie & Nirav celebrated their wedding between three different venues around London. Unjulie & Nirav contacted us after being guests at a wedding we photographed for their friends. Referrals like this are the most rewarding way of meeting new clients. It’s so nice to have the connection already there and to know the new couples comes […]

Sometimes the wedding photography world meets other creative industries and the new world opens 🙂 Like this summer when my partner Marek, who is an established interior photographer was asked to work on an editorial project for an interior design editorial shoot. I was very excited to join the creative team too! Especially that the […]

Images from Sammy & Rob’s country side engagement session wouldn’t be possible without the help of their grandparents. Sometimes there is a desire to over-plan engagement sessions, when all a couple really needs is a beautiful location, and to feel comfortable enough to be themselves in front of the camera. Not every day we start the […]

Floral church wedding in Windsor Justine and Paul’s floral feast wedding in Windsor took many months of careful planning and loads of DIY skills. When I first met them one year ahead of their big day, instead of discussing their wedding photography, we brainstormed ideas for their wedding decor. We spent long hours chatting, laughing and […]

Despite being wedding photographers we are guilty of not taking any family portraits for ourselves. So this year we decided to walk the talk and while working in Contis, France we decided to use that opportunity to capture some special moments for our little family of 3. This year is pretty special for us, as […]

Getting married in the middle of the picturesque Hertfordshire Aren’t the pre wedding images of Sophie and Stuart making you fall in love with the English country side? The lush greens of the fields, combined with red bricks of the barn and rolling hills, all that adds to this perfect setting for an engagement session. Don’t you […]

The Windsor town is so pretty and very quiet in the morning. Waking up at 5 am recently. Not really ready to get up, but my dog is and with the begging look in her eyes assisted by the waggling tail all she asks is: can we go and fetch the ball :). Not having too […]

I love working in London. Sure, it’s not always as easy as a quiet countryside, mainly due to the amount of traffic and tourists, there are people everywhere and all the time, but it’s a very exciting place and the energy is amazing. Always! Unjulie & Nirav are getting married in London this summer. They […]

UK is the heaven on earth with regards to many amazingly grand houses and castles, resulting in more couples choosing the civil ceremony in a beautiful building surrounded by landscaped gardens, over the traditional church wedding. But what separates the civil ceremony from the church one, isn’t only the location. For that reason I listed the most common aspects of […]

This year I can see more couples bringing their beloved dogs to their pre wedding sessions. I think this might be due to all the gorgeous photos trending on Instagram and Pinterest, showing pets at weddings wearing floral crowns, tutus and bowties. Which is great!  I love dogs and cats and always encourage my clients […]

Virginia Water is a magical place. From the ancient trees to the beautiful landscaped gardens, with an endless blue sky looking over it all, at least for most of the time :), it seems like a perfect spot for an engagement shoot. Paty & Dan live nearby and visited the place few times to plan for their pre […]

Whether it’s a task that needs to be done, an agreement with a supplier to be achieved or a little time off on the actual wedding day, asking for what you want as a bride or groom, can be one of the most difficult tasks on your to-do list. It’s taken me years to understand how to […]

It’s again this time of the year when the new wedding albums arrive along with new couples, who are planning their big day next year. And yet again we can see the effect printed images have on people. The tangible form of photography, one you can actually admire at its best. As much as it’s nice […]

I was so excited when Sarah & Thomas asked if we could take their couple portraits in Cotswolds, especially as I never ventured into this part of England before. Sara and Tom introduced us to the gorgeous town Stow-on-the-Wold, where we had a lovely chat about their wedding. After that they took us to a beautiful […]

Being an international wedding photographer in London allows me to gain insight into many fabulous cultures and religions and every single event is a celebration of love and union of families. Just like this Jumeirah Carlton Towers wedding of Apiksha and Veeral. The closest family from all over the world gathered to witness the union. Due to […]

One thing I hear all the time from my future clients, whom we meet for some couple portraits before the wedding, is:  “we don’t like having our photos taken” or ” we don’t look good on the photos”. As much as I don’t take this type of statements personally,I still believe that my clients attitude […]
