London has a special place in my heart. I used to live there several years ago when my wife lived there. I was fascinated by the city and I still am. I even published a book about London. Now I feel lucky because I have weddings and other photo sessions to regularly go back there for. There is just so much opportunity for London engagement photography. You can literally get off the tube at any station , start walking in any direction and you will find great spots to explore. This is exactly what we did with Sarah and Simon a couple of days before their wedding in Wimbledon. We initially started off in St. Dunstan in the East Church Garden which is a gorgeous little hide away spot not known by many, offers nice rugged backgrounds and some greenery, then we walked all the way to the South Bank stopping along the way here and there for more portraits. When I start planning a portrait session I start by discussing potential locations with the couples, locations which have a meaning to them. That I believe is important, I want them to relate to places and things and not only deciding based on prettiness. With time passing by this will create a stronger memory.
I’m always keen to return to London so let me know if you’re planning a wedding there and let’s start a conversation.
Beautiful set
Lovely. Some of my favourite spots in London.
Beautiful! I love the one of them in front of the yellow door, very cool.
Great photos and St Dunstans is one of my favourite places.
Great location, especially like mono image third from the end.
Lovely use of natural light
I kept showing my wife going – THIS IS IN LONDON.
That first venue looks absolutely epic! Great shots.
I went to London last October and walked around town for 5 days. This is exactly what I imagined shooting the entire time. What a great set!!!
