Shelly and Tim were friends of a friend, who I had already met a few times before her wedding day. They had always been great fun to be with, so I was really excited when they chose me to be their wedding photographer! The whole wedding, including bridal preparations, ceremony and wedding breakfast were all taking place in the same location too, which always ensures the day is less stressful for everyone. The Lansdowne Club is a beautiful venue in Mayfair, not too far from where I am based in West London.

Outside the Landsdowne Club in Mayfair was a great spot for one of the shots during the wedding photos during the couple shoot.

It is always such a relief as a wedding photographer to see a smiley bride – it makes my job so much simpler!!

While some photos are off the cuff, I do also have my favourite compositions as a wedding photographer that I use often. This is one of them, and on this day the light was perfect!

Hugs!

Why not have a little dance to calm the nerves?

It was an absolutely stunning wedding, and the guests were all a joy to photograph. Plenty of smiles all day long, from the moment I arrived at the Lansdowne Club to the moment I left. This was aided significantly by an incredible magician who performed during the drinks reception! I followed him around the room capturing the inevitable open mouths and faces of disbelief. Some of the tricks I saw 4 or 5 times, and still had absolutely no idea how they were done. Magic, I guess?!

Such a great reaction from Tim!

Actual, real magic. Its the only explanation.

More disbelief at the magician!

Congratulations Tim and Shelly, and I look forward to seeing you again soon as Mr & Mrs Williams!
