This wedding was a special one for me, for many reasons. It was my first non-UK wedding. It was my first Halloween wedding. Most importantly though, it was my brother’s wedding. Not many people get to photograph their little brother’s wedding, right?
It was an absolute joy to do, of course. The wedding was amazing - full of little touches and surprises - and both Lorna and Phil had the time of their lives with their family and friends.
Here are a some shots from their big day.
That’s all for now folks but I will post a few more over on the Instagram and Facebook pages, so feel free to follow along over there.
Big thanks to all at Dublin City Hall and Clayton Ballsbridge for all of your help.
Also to the Fagan family for all of your help and hospitality. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.
Huge congratulations to Lorna and Phil. Lots of love to you both x
Helen & Ben had one of those amazing ‘all hands on deck’ weddings that seem to come together beautifully right at the last.
All of the friends and family were at the reception venue - Keston Village Hall - the night before the big day, making sure everything was just right. They were lugging tables and crates upon crates of drinks, hanging fairy lights - all that good stuff!
It was effort well spent though because it looked amazing.
Before they could enjoy the reception in Keston with their guests though, there was a lovely ceremony at Emmanuel Church in Croydon in the afternoon. Helen and her girls arrived in style on an old school London bus (the same bus would later be the transport to ferry their guests to the reception), everyone seemed exactly the right amount of nervous and excited and the applause upon the announcement that they were officially husband and wife was just glorious.
Here are a handful of pictures from their big day.
Helen & Ben chose to add a highlight video to their package too. Feel free to contact me if you want to know more information about highlight videos.
That’s all for this little preview folks. I will post a few more over on the Instagram and Facebook pages as I edit them though, so feel free to follow along over on those.
A big thanks to Tim who not only smashed his master of ceremonies duties but also rounded people up for the group shots like a pro!
Also to Jo, for her aforementioned dress floofing skills, and of course to little Rory for being an amazing assistant and the king of high fives!
Most of all though, my sincere thanks to Helen and Ben for allowing me to capture their big day for them. Massive congratulations to you both and I hope you have the best honeymoon!

Nikki and Ben were married at the Coach House, Marks Hall Estate yesterday and it was so much fun.
Instead of a sit down meal they had arranged for a food truck to arrive and serve their guests delicious Mexican food. They had also arranged for stall games (tin can alley and cork riffles) with cuddly toys as prizes. The venue arranged a golf buggy to drive us around the enormous grounds for the bride and groom portraits. The sun was shining, the prosecco was flowing - all was well in the world.
Nikki and Ben’s guests enjoyed a very relaxed and laid back wedding but of course, most importantly, the bride and groom had a truely lovely day celebrating with all their favourite people.
