The On the Buses shoot was featured on Whimsical Wonderland Weddings blog today! So if you are looking for some Queen’s Diamond Jubilee wedding inspiration, scoot over to the blog and check it!
After my disastrous attempt last year to complete a 365 project – taking a photo a day for a whole year, I decided that it would be a safer option to capture my son growing up throughout 2012. So far it has been going great!
Hopefully by the end of the year, I will be able to start putting together an album for him for when he grows up.
Here are a few favourites so far!
P.S. Happy Easter!

Back again with another styled wedding photography concept. This shoot features the actress Emma Jane Martin playing the much put upon Olive Rudge from the 1970s ‘On the Buses’ series. Here EJ is modelling a glamourous red, white and blue Best of British look with a nod towards the Golden Jubilee and the London Olympics, as it is 2012!
The shoot could not be possible without the kind use of the Big Red [thank you John & Dawn] – a cosy pizza restaurant in Deptford, South London – that is an actual bus! Ideal for small and initimate wedding receptions, The Big Red can easily accommodate 50 seated on the bus and 120 for canapes and drinks in the wider outdoor space.
The fantastic 4 tier London themed wedding cake is by No Cakes R Better, and venue decoration and styling is provided by events planner Jacqueline Mars - she also played the bus driver – what a good sport!
Oh yes, the fabulous Union Jack dress is by the House of Hannigan!
Make up was provided by the talented Safiyah at Frooti Beauty – go check out her make up blog!
P.S. If you ever want to have your wedding reception on a bus – call me!

J and J will be getting married in the summer of 2013 back in the US. They are travelling around Europe, taking in the sights of London, Paris and Italy. Having seen my previous portrait/engagement shoot in the South Bank, they decided that they would love an engagement shoot to capture their time in London, and where better than where time began – in Greenwich!
The shoot started around the Old Royal Naval College and the Painted Hall which you will recognise from the last Johnny Depp Pirates of the Caribbean film, ending at the Queen’s House. Unfortunately you can’t take photos inside the Queen’s House but outside is just picturesque!
Here are some of my favourite photos from the engagement shoot – enjoy!
