Howard Robbins Wedding

Congratulations to Howard Robbins and his beautiful new wife Janine on their excellent wedding.

Every wedding is different, some organised, some less so but when one of the highest ranking toastmasters in the country is getting married it's like a military operation.

The actual wedding took place on New years eve with the party going on till the early hours of 2009. It was a truly fantastic day and the guest list read like a who's who of the wedding industry. Some of the best caterers, toastmasters, photographers, videoographers in the country were there to wish the couple the very best.

It felt great to spend new years eve at a party where I knew a lot of the guests. The reception was at the Royal Majestic which is fast becoming a very popular venue in London.

It was one of those jobs where you new everything had been taken care of, including the excellent "surprise" entertainment after the meals.

Even though he was the groom he just couldn't help making sure everyone was briefed correctly .... "Howard that's why you have a toast master ... lol"

Weddings at the Landmark hotel

Yesterday I was honoured to be employed to shoot a wedding in central London.

The west end of London is not the easiest location to work, mainly down to the 24hour traffic that sucks the life out of the city. I must admit looking out of the window in the morning didn't help, driving snow.

Luckily enough the snow soon melted long before the cameras came out of their bags however it was still very very cold and the wonderful bride and groom were like troopers never complaining once.

The wedding reception was booked for probably my favourite hotel in the city the Landmark. take a few minutes to look around their website and you'll see why its a great favourite with photographers, an absolutely stunning venue.

Not only is the venue fantastic but the staff work very hard to ensure the customers are completely satisfied (including the workers). The serving staff are all full time (rare at most hotels) and as such are well drilled ensuring everyone at the table gets served their meal at the same time. Little things like this go a long way in making a difference.

All in all a fantastic wedding made even better by great service and a wonderfull venue.

Wedding at London Zoo

Ever since the laws were relaxed about where people could get married couples have taken advantage of some excellent and exciting venues.

I was recently commissioned to capture a young couples special day at London Zoo.

It was an excellent day with lots of fun and laughter along the way.
