Goring Hotel Wedding Photographer

Goring Hotel Wedding Photographer

As a Goring Hotel wedding photographer it is a particular pleasure to know the pedigree and history of the place you are working in. Close to Buckingham Palace it has been run by the Goring family for over a hundred years and has frequently played host to Royalty, prime ministers, stars and the discerning, most recently Kate Middleton the night before her wedding to William. Well the Royalty in attendance for us this special occasion was Sally and Paul, a lovely couple, but no relation to the Windsors!

Many newlyweds who wish to add a touch of London sparkle and history choose the Goring for their reception venue. Some however also elect to have their ceremony itself in the intimate but lovely interior of the hotel, and this was certainly the case for Sally and Paul.

Wedding at the Goring Hotel London

Sally stayed the night herself in preparation at the hotel while Paul arrived on the day. First task for David and Joanna (that’s us by the way….) was to see how Sally was getting on in her room with twin sister and chief bridesmaid Lucy. After a series of “prep” shots to start telling the story of the big day, we shot some wonderfully atmospheric images in the light filled corridor outside her room. After a while David went looking for Paul and best man Richard for the “boys” pics.

And so it went on for the day, a division of labour between ourselves. Whether it is being in two different places at once, covering the same spaces from different angles and view points (i.e the ceremony) or just ourselves as a couple photographing a couple, with all the understanding that brings, two is most certainly greater than one….

UPDATE: After reading this blog post Paul and Sally sent us the following email:

“Hi David & Joanna,

We’ve just sat down and watched the DVD’s – all we can say is WOW!

You have captured every possible moment of our special day and given us permanent reminders of so many fantastic memories.

So a very big “thank you” from us both. Also many thanks for creating the pics with Lucy.

With best regards,

Paul & Sally

PS – We love the blog!!”

Claridges Hotel Wedding Photographer

Claridges Hotel Wedding Photographer

It seems that as a Claridges Hotel wedding photographer we are following around Gordon Ramsay managed in house restaurants at the moment! See our separate blog post about the SAVOY: Savoy Hotel Wedding Photographers to understand what we mean by that, and of course check out some of our work at other iconic central London hotels in the blog.

Claridges Hotel Wedding Photographer

Sometimes it happens that as busy London wedding photographers we will invariably work with couples in the public eye or sensitive employment positions. With that in mind if you would like to see some specific Claridges wedding photos then please email or use the contact page and we will be happy to send some. (Normally you would see specific examples on a blog post!) Chances are though that you will see from the examples in our galleries, or the many images contained in this blog the kind of quality you can expect from ourselves David and Joanna as your Time Out Recommended wedding photographers. For this reason the photo above is actually from a recent wedding at The Goring Hotel London – Kate Middleton’s pre wedding venue.

Claridges Hotel Wedding Photos

On the subject of Claridges, it had a rich and varied history, and for those that are interested: it is David Beckham’s favourite London Hotel when he’s back in his home town. Claridges started as a hotel with just a single house run by William and Marianne Claridge, but by it’s official opening during 1856 (in the basic form it is today) they had bought a further five properties around it!

Starting your big day with David & Joanna London Wedding Photographers

London Wedding Photographers opening blog image

“Getting ready”…”bridal prep”…these are just a couple of the often used phrases to describe that time when a bride is gearing up for her wedding day. But as any bride will tell you, that getting ready started months, sometimes years ago,  and the usual descriptions don’t do justice to the sense of “anticipation in the preparation” she will be feeling (we like that phrase especially as it rhymes!) Groom too of course…

West Lodge Wedding morning

It’s often quite a hustle and bustle time with all kinds of people arriving, family, bridesmaids, chauffeurs, lovely London wedding photographers like David and Joanna….as well as everything that “getting ready” really entails: makeup, hair, flowers arriving, gazing towards your dress hanging up, a trillion other things and then finally getting into it, usually surrounded by bridesmaids and mum partaking in the final big “button up”

Two things we feel are relevant to this part of the big day: firstly, it is our duty to capture all of this well and with artistry. Of course that’s a given, and we make sure we bring a combination of cameras and lenses to capture all the different flavours. Secondly, and also very important, is that we have a calming effect on the proceedings. We have been part of a large number of wedding days, and our goal is to add to the day with our experience. We work hard on your behalf, but we are calm relaxed people amid the organised chaos of the build up before the ceremony. This effect is contagious! We are your allies, and the more happy and relaxed you are, the better you will look in your photos.

Best not to foget the lovely bridesmaids – wherever they may be!

It’s always good to get your tensions out of the way before leading your friends down the aisle….

Below shows a typical choice you have as far as how to display your images. Black and white often looks great for those “prep shots” and ceremony too, but as the example below shows it’s a positive problem choosing, because both look great.

Barnet Wedding Photographer? London Wedding Photographer? UK Wedding Photographers? Thinking about this we answered first with a “yes”, and then a few seconds later an equally impassioned “no”! We have worked everywhere this wedding season from local north London and Hertfordshire wedding venues, to central London, home counties, far away counties, and France….Oui!

Big Day Weddings 2019 Collage One

In todays global online village, its only right that someone searching for recommended or just great wedding photography should be able to ask the question: “Are you free for my wedding day?” Wherever a person is in the world. Long gone now are the days of only being able to walk down the local high street to the portrait studio shop front, popping in and speaking to one of the very few real choices you may have had in your area for your big day. Well that’s what we vaguely remember when we were kids…Though wedding photography is not like shopping for a best price on Amazon, it’s of course about quality that has real and enduring value over time. There’s nothing wrong with shopping for that quality, and looking as far a field as necessary. We’ve spent so much travelling through the global village of wedding photography recently that it has been hard to update this blog and post on socials as much as we would like. It is secondary to working on images and meeting new couples 🙂
