‘I’ve always loved the getting ready part of a wedding  best. The charged atmosphere, the calm before it’s time to go when everything kicks into high-gear, all the pretty little details that transform a girl into a bride.

The setting where Ali was getting ready was simply perfect. A beautiful house where you could still sense the history and all the glamorous people who’ve once passed through it. We were nervously waiting for a stubborn mist to clear so that the arriving guests could take in the stunning views. When Ali was ready, her smile shining even brighter than her gorgeous gown, the sun finally broke through the mist. It was time to get married.“

I’ve photographed  many Jewish weddings in the past where the ceremony took place indoors, but I personally always  favour the ones that  are  outdoors where I can  take full advantage of natural light. Emma and David did a wonderful job in planning out their wedding  to have so many stunning details with  beautiful  florals  in particular.  These types of weddings really do help me define my own style and for that reason this is my favourite Jewish wedding. “

The one thing that strikes me about any Jewish wedding I shoot is how close and tight knit everyone is and how much joy and celebration is afforded towards the couple. This image is not your groom in the sky ‘hero’ shot which tends to attract more comments and plaudits but one that illustrates what a Jewish wedding stands for.

The Bride &  Groom had originally planned to get married  in Israel but unforeseen circumstances meant a re-locate at just ten days notice to Rosewood London  and this moment was the culmination of not only a job well done by all in pulling it off, but it also marked the end of a rather brilliant surprise flash mob performance by the whole wedding! Unbeknown to bride and groom, everyone in attendance had been roped into the practice and perfect it prior to the big day and it went down a storm.

Moments are what create great photographs. The depiction of a true moment in time will always override perfectly composed or technically flawless images and for me this image represents a moment when everything clicked. I was just lucky enough to witness it!”
