20 August 2010

Yes, you did read the title correctly … gotta love when people of the same name get together (ok, well almost LOL) … So, I recently had the pleasure of travelling to London to shoot the wedding of Simone and Simon.  I was joined by my friend and fellow photographer, Sanjay Jogia, who started out with the guys, while I headed to The House of Charles Worthington with Simone and her girls.  I honestly think it must have been the hottest day of the year with zero cloud cover and mid thirties heat … the wedding was held within the confines of the Inner Temple, at Temple Church, a historic building nestled behind Fleet Street.  Simon has an apartment within the temple and I was privileged to have been allowed to stay in one of the guest quarters.  The reception was held in the Inner Temple Hall, as you can see, a simply stunning room.

A few random facts … the photo below of Simone and her sister and friend was taken in the same room where Bridget Jones walks in on Darcy having a meeting with fellow barristers … a vast amount of Sherlock Holmes (the movie) was filmed here, as it is one of the rare places in London that doesn’t have modern lighting and has maintained a lot of original features … the church scenes in The Da Vinci Code were filmed in the Temple Church …

And so … a few from the day … enjoy !
