Travel Photography - Iceland

I hardly have the words for this. Sufficed to say that it was one of the most spectacular trips of my life. Iceland won my heart. We trekked through snow, ate amazing food, saw the Northern Lights, went on tours. I've never really been into photographing landscapes before... but now I just want to get out there and shoot more and more. Prints will be coming soon in my new print shop, I can't wait to share them. I'm going to make myself available for more travel photography and if you're looking to commission some shots please get in touch.

That's enough words. Pictures, pictures, pictures.

Destination Wedding Photography - Baku, Azerbaijan {Part 2}

So here it is! Part 2 of my adventure to Azerbaijan to shoot Dan and Fidan's wedding. With their legal ceremony and intimate family dinner done it was time to party. They chose the luxurious setting of The Four Seasons in Baku. After getting ready with a view of Baku's famous flame towers Fidan totally rocked her 50s inspired wedding dress - a total break with wedding traditions in Azerbaijan. I was also ludicrously excited to see some of Rachel Simpson's gorgeous shoes  which felt like a little reminder of home on the third day of my trip. After their first look on the staircase of the hotel we explored some awesome spots in Baku… my absolute favourite being the derelict museum we were lucky enough to get permission to shoot in. The reception was awesome with a nod to London in the place names and decor.  My biggest surprise of the evening was the appearance from a troupe of traditional dancers who streamed onto the dance floor with stunning costumes and swords, ceremonially introducing a beautiful plate of rice… it was incredible… there was even a human pyramid… if I'm not describing it well you'll have to rely of the photos below or read about the tradition here. It was an incredible day… an unforgettable trip enjoying the hospitality and company of their family and friends, exploring a place that I'd never expected to visit and enjoyed so completely.
