Mary and Mark travelled over to the U.k from Australia for their Coptic Orthodox wedding and having photographed their friends wedding two years before I knew I was going to enjoy every minute of their big day and I was so right. I’d only spoken to Mary and Mark (and their dog Mylo) via Skype once before and even then I could see their chemistry, this couple really are the best of friends and I think you can see that in there photos. Here’s some on my favourites from their pre- wedding shoot (taken the day before their wedding!)

Nancy and Tamir had a beautiful coptic orthodox wedding in London. I’d been looking forward to this wedding for about a year as I knew it would have strong cultural influences from Nancy’s Egyptian family. I was not disappointed! The day was such fun, both of their families were so welcoming and I was completely camera happy. The day started at St Marks coptic church in Kensington. We were met by several priests and what seemed like hundreds of people all there for the wedding. The ceremony had several parts to it, not only did they exchange rings but they wore crowns and Tamir wore a long cloak. Have a look at the images and see what you think, I will blog this in two parts as there were so many lovely photos. Many thanks to Damian prestidge who came along and worked with me during the ceremony.

After the ceremony, we went off and took some portraits in a very busy and hot St James park:
