Welcome to Hollington Towers!

They said it couldn't be done. They told us to get a surveyor. They said we'd pay over the odds. They were (and I say this with MUCH relief)...wrong. Thanks to my dad as foreman and a brilliant team of builders (VDK Building and Construction Ltd), we are now very nearly ready to move. The boxes are packed (well, stuffed to the brim), the date is set for the end of November and I'm about to be carried over the threshold (properly this time, no steps up to a dilapidated first floor flat).

My Big Greek-Nigerian Wedding

These two met at Uni and their love, friendship and happiness came together in two beautiful wedding ceremonies (one Catholic, the other Greek), a cozy ride in one of London's vintage routemasters, followed by a spectacular party at Altitude 360 in the Millbank Tower overlooking London in the last of the autumn sun. Here are just some of the highlights - click below to see more.

Westminster Kingsway Graduation

 

Shooting this graduation ceremony brought back lots of memories - being excited to "get out there", being nervous to "get out there" and being hugely relieved at not tripping up on collecting the scroll. Graduating is such an emotional point in time and I hope to have captured that sense of one chapter ending and another beginning, of student friendships, of the anticipation and excitement, as well as that feeling of pride. Here's to the Culinary Arts and Hospitality students at Westminster Kingsway College as they celebrate another fantastic year of results!

Cook with Kids

Rob Kirby has produced a wonderful book, "Cook with Kids", and I felt really privileged to shoot the launch - click on the photo to see the slideshow. All royalties from the book go to the Children's Hospital School at Great Ormond Street. Do buy a copy here.

Gibson Hall Wedding

 

I still can't believe that the groom only had two lessons on the dancefloor -  Andy and Cherry rocked! Here a little teaser of a great wedding in central London with a courtyard ceremony and sunshine thrown in for good measure. 

Lindsey and Paul's Big Day at Dulwich College

Mesmerised by their auntie and for good reason - Lindsey looked stunning in a vintage Hollywood inspired dress. Her husband-to-be Paul couldn't keep his hands off - click below to see a selection of photos from their big day.

Altogether now…. Aaaaaw

I just had to share these photographs with you. I shot these portraits at a school in Richmond in southwest London during a dress rehearsal of their nativity play. I was in photography heaven with these little angels!
