Susan & David

Camden Town Hall, with its splendid marble staircase, provided an elegant backdrop for Susan & David's civil ceremony on a glorious Summer's day. There followed a quick stop off at Lincoln Inn's Field for a champagne toast and a few relaxed group shots before the whole wedding party took a leisurely stroll to the White Swan pub where they were welcomed with a strong cocktail with which to kick off the celebrations. 





















Ptolemy & Amy

A typical English Summer's day brought a mixture of heavy rain and shine, but nobody let the weather dampen their spirits a bit, least of all Ptolemy and Amy who, along with their saintly families, waited patiently and good-naturedly between the showers to get the group shots done. Which was all worth it since the rain did something amazing to the light. After which we all dashed for the sanctuary of the Crypt in Clerkenwell where the celebrations ended in much enthusiastic and gloriously tuneless karaoke action.

























Mark & Ryan + friends & family + showgirls!


I'd love to get commisisoned to shoot more civil partnerships, if only because the few I have done so far have all been a total blast. Mark & Ryan's Anglo-Australian London bash was no exception, featuring as it did a Routemaster bus, a quick tour of some iconic landmarks, a champagne toast on the river bank, a stroll across the millennium bridge, a very gay cake, a big fancy dress box for all the guests and a high-kicking Vegas showgirl group providing the dazzling backdrop to the boys' choreographed first dance. I swear it's all true! Here's the photographic proof. This, my friends, is how to celebrate a civil partnership in style:
