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 !

Stupendously brilliant! These are by far some of the best wedding images I’ve seen on your blog in a long time. Not to say the rest are anything short of brilliant, but there is something truly spectacular about these images.
The lighting is what really catches my eye. The real and authentic emotion and moments. I can almost hear the murmur of voices and the clinking of glasses and the timelessness of the air. The angles of your compositions, the depth of field… it’s amazing how far you’ve come. Your passion and dedication to the art of wedding photography is clearly evident.
Spot on!
