Nothing fancy - just lovely people having a lovely time.

My son's school recently had a Careers Week. I ca My son's school recently had a Careers Week.  I came to his class to give a little talk about what I do.  A little fella asked what the best thing was about the job. The answer? Easy:  the lovely people I get to work with.  Most couples book without meeting and while they are "just" names on the paperwork when I arrive to their wedding, by the time I've finished for the night I've gleaned a few morsels about their story and who they are as people.

If you read the news as of late the world might seem a bit you-know-what but the truth is that it's full of wonderful, kind human beings who would do anything for each other.  And J&I are the perfect example of said humans.

On the day, heavenly light at Islington Town Hall and a wee bit of time to drink in the buzz of Upper Street.

✨  I loved capturing these East Coast Canadians who have made London their home. We met up a bit earlier in the day to do some portraits just as the light was fading before joining their witnesses for a late afternoon ceremony.

✨  The outdoors is a big part of the national identity and in true form P&C headed off a few days later for some hiking and climbing in warmer climes.  Sounds like the perfect getaway.

🌸 It's finally here.

🌸  Spring, that is!

🌸  It's been a long wait.

 🌸 A & W couldn't have picked a more gorgeous day to get married at Islington Town Hall.  After their micro-ceremony with just their witnesses we wandered through the charming back streets off Upper Street . 

🌸  So many more to share from this happiest of days.

I've had a soft spot for Kiwis since living with three of them in the early days of life in London - brings back happy memories.  B is pure energy in motion—impossible not to catch the spark! 

B&P's Chelsea Old Town Hall nuptials led to drinks and dinner at @bluebirdchelsea, an Art Deco delight of a building which was once Europe's finest luxury garage.  It's named after the Blue Bird vehicles which was famed for breaking land speed records. 

Sharing a few frames from a super-relaxed afternoon.

S not only found her dress just a day before the wedding, but the couple also stayed up until the wee hours drying the petals that would be tossed at them on the famous steps. That's commitment!  And def worth the effort.

❤️ Congratulations to these sweethearts.

🥂 Celebratory cocktails with P&C at the tiny 69 🥂 Celebratory cocktails with P&C at the tiny 69 Colebrooke Row in Islington, so divinely understated that they have no name and are not on the 'gram radar. 😍  Channeling a bit of classic Bogart, with the best of old-skool charm and service.  Sooo much more to share from this micro-wedding in a future post! 🥂

⚡ Hey! I don't show my face on here much so I t ⚡ Hey!  I don't show my face on here much so I thought it'd be a good time to say hello. 

I've been doing this photography malarkey for nearly 18 years. 

An immigrant from South Korea, I grew up in Edmonton, Alberta.  Funnily, my son goes to school in a part of London called Edmonton.

My home is on top of a hill in North London.  I live in a Victorian house (with quite the history) with Dave, Will and the Alf. 

I find it hard to answer the question: "where are you from?". 

Often people say I remind them of "that actor from Killing Eve". Oh!  You mean @iamsandraohinsta?

I'll let you in on a secret.  Not long ago I had thought about hanging the cameras up.  The busyness of family life, two house moves in two years, a renovation project and midlife madness does not leave much time to relax and reflect.  When you don't have the headspace, you start doubting everything you do.  And following too many lifestyle and productivity gurus can be a constant reminder of what you should be doing.

However...

I am loving working more than ever.  It's been such a great year in so many ways and now I'd like time to slow down please.  When I show up to a job, for a short time I'm in my own world.  I'm my own person.  Meeting and talking to new people inspires me to no end and gives me a ton to think about.  Creativity is the by-product. 

So...

I'll continue and forge ahead, being kind to myself about where I "should" be and tough on myself about other things, like taking time to enjoy simple pleasures, and switching the noise off so I can hear myself better.

Thanks for reading. 

And thanks to @jez_dickson for the stealth shot.
On this day 100 years ago, Marylebone Town Hall in On this day 100 years ago, Marylebone Town Hall in Westminster conducted its first ever wedding.  To celebrate its centenary, 100 lucky couples will be getting married TODAY.  They’ll be joining Sir Paul McCartney, Liam Gallagher, Ringo Starr and other celebrities who have exited to a shower of confetti onto the famous steps.  There are about 50 more weddings to go - head over to the BBC to watch it live!

It’s a regular jaunt over to Baker Street for me to Marylebone Town Hall, which is just “MTH” in my calendar.  I’ve documented large and tiny weddings and have been a witness to one as well.  My last visit was for Hetti and Josh’s wedding on Saturday, where they wanted to have a proper London-style wedding.  Marylebone couldn’t be any more than that!

1. My most recent wedding
2. My first wedding there in 2008
3. Incredible image of Macca's wedding to Linda Eastman, courtesy of the Daily Mirror. 

Gorgeous window light from the Westminster Room and the walk down the steps inside as a married couple are a gift to photograph, along with the alcoves by the Corinthian columns, providing shade when sunny and shelter when rainy. 

For the architecturally-inclined, the building itself was designed by Yorkshireman Sir Edwin Cooper and completed in 1920.

Wishing all 100 couples today much love in their new lives together and every photographer working a well-deserved pint after they're done!

You might think about foregoing having a photographer for an intimate register office wedding but it really is worth documenting the event. Plus it's hard to do a selfie when you're walking down the aisle! 🙂
