Wedding planning can be a stressful and overwhelming process, and it's common for people to make mistakes along the way. Here are some of the biggest mistakes people make while wedding planning:

1. Not setting a budget: One of the biggest mistakes people make is not setting a budget before they start planning. It's important to determine how much you can afford to spend on your wedding, as this will help you make decisions about vendors, venues, and other aspects of your big day.

2. Trying to please everyone: It's impossible to please everyone, and trying to do so will only lead to more stress and anxiety. Remember that your wedding day is about you and your partner, so focus on what makes you both happy and don't worry too much about what others think.

3. Waiting too long to book vendors: Many wedding vendors book up quickly, so it's important to start researching and booking them as early as possible. Waiting too long can result in limited availability and higher prices.

4. Neglecting to read contracts carefully: It's important to read contracts carefully before signing them, as they can contain hidden fees or stipulations that you may not be aware of. Make sure you understand everything in the contract before signing on the dotted line.

5. Forgetting to enjoy the process: Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but it's important to remember to enjoy it as well. Take time to celebrate the little milestones along the way, and don't forget to have fun with your partner.

What a day it was for Olivia & Benjamin’s wedding day and for me to be their wedding photographer. It was a very special day and love to be local. This stunning venue Pitzhanger Manor Ealing is a stunning little historical venue with lots of beautiful rooms and great grounds for photos.

We started off the morning at a airbnb house not far away, a house with great natural light and good space. Which is a photographers dream set up good natural light and space. The harder ones are very small hotel rooms with bad natural light.

We captured Olivia getting ready with her beautiful bridesmaids, parents and her little son Winnie. He was a blast to have around. He is such a smiley little guy with lots of energy. He was part of the whole day and even hit the dance floor at the end of the day.

Isn’t the dress and Winnies outfit stunning? I love Olivia’s dress it’s absolutely a dress that I could see myself choosing as a wedding dress. Perfection in my eyes.

It was a very emotional ceremony with lots of happy tears and laughter. Everyone looked amazing and we couldn’t ask for any better weather and day.

We shortly moved over to Sloans Kitchen a space next door with a good space for dining and dancing with lots of natural light flowing in. The setup was absolutely amazing.

Pitzhanger Manor Gallery is a great little wedding venue in the heart of Ealing Broadway. It has the most amazing rooms with it bespoke wall paper and natural light flowing through the rooms. It has amazing grounds for portraits and group photos which we as photographers love.

The Flowers was done by Louise Click here to find her page. She is a local florist with loads of experience and can make any space look magical. I highly recommend her to you.

Here comes a little sneak peek your way from Olivia & Flaviu’s wedding at St Lukes Church and reception at 116 Pall Mall. We had a fabulous day with lots of fun and good weather. I will share the full gallery very soon with you. I hope you will enjoy these photos from this amazing wedding.

5th of March and a cloudy day at Braxted Park. I felt so honoured to be their wedding photographer.
After arriving at the venue and meeting up with Shirin as she was getting ready to have her makeup and hair done. She was calm as a cucumber and very relaxed in a happy mood. We started out with the detailed shots of the shoes and rings. They are important to capture.

I love the getting ready moments, the excitement in the air and a little bit of nerves. It’s a magic part of the day.

The bridesmaids started coming in as I was busy with the details. Dan arrived and his best-men came shortly after and we got their photos taken. The reception was done early so I had a chance to capture those details before the whole ceremony started which doesn't often happen that way. After some photos of Shirin and her girls the time had come for the interviews and ceremony to start.

The beautiful ceremony room at Braxted Park with its gorgeous natural light and set up with the stunning tree display looked amazing. The ceremony was short and sweet and it was beautiful.

We walked out of the venue to celebrate the newly married couple with confettis and loads of cheers even if it was a little chilly outside. A short walk over to the marque for the reception to go ahead. While the guests made their way to the reception we got a lift in the golf car to the front of the venue to capture the love and some stunning portraits of Shirin & Dan. We had so much fun but we didn’t have that much time, but I can definitely say that we did the most out of it.

They took a deep breath before they walked into the wedding reception to be greeted with loads of cheering and applause. It was magical and such a stunning marque. The speeches came along after the main course and they made everyone laugh and smile. I love speeches, you can really get to know them more during that moment.

Time to party and have the first dance and they did it so well even if they were a little shy and no dancers, like a few of us out there. It was a fun night and everyone had a great time.

Let me say it again, congratulations to Shirin & Dan.

It was a very moody winter morning on the 1st of December. The morning of Elena & Russell’s wedding. I woke up to take their wedding photos that day and was praying for better weather.

The clock ticked closer to the ceremony and the sky slowly got brighter and the rain stopped. We even got clips of blue sky. A stunning day for a winter wedding in Ealing at Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery.

It was a small intimate wedding with their 4 guests and me as their wedding photographer. They had booked one of the stunning rooms at the manor with its hand painted green wall papers and wood floor. The room is absolutely stunning. The ceremony was beautiful and lots of emotions of happiness.

I will share the full day soon with you, here are some sneak peek photos from the day. I hope you like them as much as I do.

Yvonne & Stephen had a small wedding this Tuesday at Hackney Town Hall, with their nearest family and friends. It was my pleasure to be the one capturing their ceremony. We definitely had the weather on our side, it was raining the whole day before but, Yay, the sun was out for us.

Full gallery will be with you shortly with their story. x
