The lovely Charlotte and Simon married on the hottest day of the year at the Victoria Stakes Pub in London’s Muswell Hill. So this is a funny story, I first met this pair when they modeled for me on a Photography Farm workshop. We did an engagement shoot for them in Borough Market but at the time, they were not yet engaged. Fast forward a few years and Charlotte had relocated down from her native Glasgow to live with Simon in London and he proposed by Niagara Falls. When they started planning the wedding, they got back in touch and booked me to shoot it. So I did a proper engagement shoot for them and then had a heck of a lot of fun shooting their wonderful London Pub Wedding.
We traveled in style to the ceremony in a 1920s Rolls Royce but of course, it had no air conditioning and the windows didn’t wind down so we were super glad to get out and catch a little breeze up at Alexandra Palace. We stopped off there before their wedding and took some photos in the grounds just because it is one of their very favourite places. To round off a glorious day, Charlotte and her Dad got the dance floor going and when we slipped away, everyone was having a mighty party – with ALL the pub windows open.
Oh, believe me, if all those endearing young charms that I gaze on so fondly today were to suddenly leave you or fly off in the night just like FAIRY GIFTS gone in the sky …
