The Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington is on of the most impressive venues I have had the pleasure of working in. Formerly a magnificent church the interior is huge and nothing short of incredible which is why Jemima and Steve chose this venue for their wedding in April. I started the day capturing Jemima getting ready at the very quaint and unique Orange Tree Hotel in Richmond. I then met Steve and his ushers as they greeted the guests arriving for the ceremony in anticipation of Jemima’s arrival. Jemima and Steve decided to go against the tradition of facing the altar and instead turned around to face their guests so that everyone could witness their exchanging of vows. After they tied the knot we headed around the corner to Udney Hall Gardens where everyone congregated for Champagne to congratulate the newlyweds.
I took Jemima and Steve around the park for their couple shoot and group shots before heading back to the Arts Centre for the wedding breakfast. Once their banquet had finished the speeches got underway and the room was filled energy and excitement as Jemima’s father delivered some great one liners! Steve and his best men followed it up with some very funny speeches and at one point the room turned in to one big Mexican Wave! With the light quickly diminishing we escaped the crowds and headed to Teddington Lock for a relaxing and romantic couple shoot as the sun set over the bridge. I lost count of the number of well wishers congratulating the couple and once the sun disappeared we made our way back for the cake cutting and dancing. Jemima and Steve are a great couple who I really enjoyed working with and their wedding was certainly one to remember! Here a few highlights from their big day………
“Thanks so much for getting the photos ready in record time! The are incredibly beautiful. And we are so so so happy with them. Thank you so much for being an awesome and talented photographer you really have captured our day in a way that most others could not.
