    A look back at 2018 | Siobhan H wedding photography

    2018 has been an exciting year for me, and I’ve had a lovely couple of weeks to relax, and look back on it with pride. It was a fairly epic start; back in January I won a big award for my event photography which was pretty amazing and unexpected, and that side of my business has been a big focus throughout the year. I love capturing events as they have a lot of the same characteristics as weddings: fast-moving, documenting all those little (and big) moments, thinking on your feet and quickly finding solutions to whatever challenges are thrown your way (tricky lighting, bad weather, impromptu group shots, etc). So I have been really developing my skills in those areas this year. I’ve also been lucky enough to photograph some amazing weddings which I look back on with complete joy. I know I’m just there to take the pictures but I always end up making a real connection with my couples, and it fills me with happiness when they love their images as much as I do. Weather-wise, my camera and I have handled scorching heatwaves, epic thunderstorms, and driving rain amongst other things and we have conquered them! Here are a few highlights from some of the weddings I was lucky enough to capture this year. Looking forward to 2019 and doing it all over again!

     

    Happy New Year everyone!

     

     

  • Stylish London Wedding in Islington | Day Two

    Stylish London Wedding in Islington | Day Two

    Here are some highlights from day two of Caroline and Julian’s stylish London wedding. I’m playing catch-up a little here but better late than never!

    The previous day, which you can see  here,  they had held an intimate ceremony at  Islington Town Hall followed by a celebratory lunch at  Frederick’s restaurant nearby. For the second part, they both wanted a very relaxed wedding reception for their guests with lots of opportunities to mingle and an abundance of fun.

    Rather than hire a wedding venue in Islington, they decided to transform the architectural offices run by the groom’s parents with the help of the wonderfully-talented Andri Benson from Always Andri Weddings. With her vision, the space was styled in a very chic and modern way, and adapted to suit the relaxed mingling of wedding guests. Additional rooms with arcade games, movies, and chill-out spaces meant the kids (and adults) had plenty of fun – despite the rain outside!

    The bride’s daughter looked very cool wearing a matching suit to the groom, music was provided by top UK DJ’s  Wedding Smashers and the guests enjoyed delicious bowl food, which is a hot trend for weddings at the moment.

    You can see the full list of amazing wedding suppliers at the end of this post but in the meantime, take a look at this very original and stylish London wedding and be inspired!
