Richmond Family Photographer / Kew Family and Newborn Photoshoot
Newborn Photoshoot in RIchmond-upon-Thames
This newborn photoshoot was organised to mark the arrival of the second baby into this lovely family. I really enjoyed getting to know, and to photograph this family. The location for the photoshoot was the family home in Kew, London. We discussed splitting the photo session and doing a part of it indoors, and (weather permitting) doing the second half in the garden. Luckly, the weather gods were with us on the day, so we were spoilt for choice.
Natural Newborn Photography
At the beginning of my photography career, I tried a few different setups when photographing newborns. I found these to be quite awkward and un-natural, and I think I have finally set on photographing newborns in quite a natural way; being adored by their parents, having a curious look during their awake time, sleeping in their cot, interacting with their older sibling(s). This little baby boy was only 5-6 weeks old during this newborn photo session but very much awake and alert nearly the whole time I was there (he eventually dozed off just before I left). I was therefore able to capture a few sweet looks, and tender moments with his parents. We spent some time in the sunshine taking family photos, where I was able to not only photograph the newborn but also the older sibling, and to take a few family photos. After all those family portraits, and outdoor time, it was time for the baby to sleep and what better way to go to sleep than with a gentle kiss from your big brother. The photo, at the very end of the slide show, melts my heart!

York House Wedding / London Wedding Photographer
On a very rainy day a few weeks ago, Khine and Neil tied the knot at beautiful York House in Twickenham, a gem of a London wedding venue. Family and friends arrived from all corners of the world to celebrate this special day. The drippy weather didn’t dampen anyone’s spritis, and this autumnal wedding was happy, warm and joyous! It started off with the ceremony at The Loggia Room, overlooking York House gardens, followed by a boat ride to the Wharf in Teddington. This was a fantastic idea, and a ride which everyone enjoyed - admiring the local landmarks and gorgous houses along the River Thames. The reception was held at the Wharf in Teddington - perfectly located on the banks of the river with stunning views from the top floor.
As London and Surrey wedding photographer, I document weddings at different venues across the country, but York House holds a special place in my heart. The gardens are so nice all year round, in all different weather conditions that even a bit of rain didn’t spoil the magic and grandour of the place. Although eveyone wishes for good weather for their wedding day, there is a certain charm and romance which rain brings. As well as lots of good luck for the wedding couple!
It was a great afternoon, and I wish the bride and the groom all the best for their future together!
If you are getting married, and would like to discuss your wedding plans and photography for the big day, please get in touch - I would love to hear from you! I work across London and Surrey, as well as further afield at an additional travel cost. Looking forward to hearing from you!
