On Sunday Jodie & Will got married and I got my first experience of a Kew Gardens Wedding . It was awesome. We really do have to pinch ourselves at how incredible this job that we do is a lot of the time, we get to create beautiful photographs that will stay in the couples family for generations to come but at it’s most basic, right there and then on the day, we get to hang out with some of the happiest, most smiley, loveable people you could ever want to spend time with.
Jodie began the day getting ready with her bridesmaids and her Mum at the Petersham hotel near Richmond which in itself is absolutely jaw dropping. As you can see, Jodie looked gorgeous. It’s fantastic to photograph anyone who just can’t stop smiling and I honestly don’t think she stopped beaming all day long. A Kew Gardens Wedding is an amazing thing. From the Nash Conservatory where the ceremony was held, through the acres and acres of gardens which are just picking up the colours of Autumn, to the Orangery for the evening reception it really takes your breath away at every turn.
For me the best part of Jewish wedding ceremonies is the dancing afterwards. It’s bonkers. Elbows fly, toes get stamped on, chair legs graze your face in the mayhem and it’s completely brilliant. This is just a taster for them as they head off on honeymoon and there will be so so SO much more to come later this year.
Special thanks go to Matt Tyler for helping Hannah and I out on this one, awesome as always buddy!

I should be working but keep stopping to look at the photos again, and again, and again…..They really capture what was a truly joyous occasion from start to finish. I echo Tom’s comment – you really have managed to reflect the spirit of the day. Can hardly wait to see more. Mind you, the bride and groom are particularly photogenic which helped (could there ever have been a happier bride?) and what a location. Thanks to all for your hard work – I know that Will will be thrilled. Love Ali. xx
Thanks Ali it was a spectacular day and yes, Jodie has an even more spectacular smile!

Thank you so so so much. We are so excited and cant wait to see more of your fabulously awesome pictures.
Love Mum
