Journal – Real Weddings, Editorial Stories and Guides
Full-day weddings and practical guides in one place. Editorial portraits with modern lines, honest coverage with warmth — stories that feel effortless now and deepen with time. Explore complete days, favourite London venues and planning notes that keep everything unhurried.
I think of this as a Journal rather than a Blog for a reason. It’s not a place for generic tips or rushed updates; it’s a curated space for real weddings, couples’ stories and guides that respect your time and attention. Each piece is written to be quietly useful and to deepen your sense of how a day can feel, rather than shout for clicks.
Here you’ll find full wedding days, London planning notes and a handful of soft, editorial posts about timings, light and logistics. The aim is to give you just enough information to feel confident — not a long checklist of “shoulds”. Whether you’re right at the start of planning or fine-tuning details, the Journal is here to make things clearer and calmer, one considered story at a time.
Sections of the Journal
Weddings
Full wedding stories from London town halls, grand hotels, restaurants and landmark venues — shown from preparations to last dance. These posts help you see how portraits, candid moments and evening images sit together in one cohesive gallery, so you can picture how a day like yours might feel. They’re especially helpful if you want to understand what “modern editorial with warmth” looks like across an entire celebration, not just in a handful of highlights.
Couples
Engagement sessions, proposals and pre-wedding shoots across London. These are slower, more intimate stories with space to breathe, useful if you’re camera-shy or simply curious about what it’s like to be photographed together with calm, gentle direction before the wedding day. They show how we can work with parks, streets and interiors in a way that feels natural and unforced, while still paying attention to composition and light.
Guides
Quiet, practical pieces on timings, portraits, light and London logistics — sometimes venue-related, always written to complement the dedicated Venues pages rather than repeat them. Here you might find thoughts on planning a town hall ceremony followed by a dinner elsewhere, simple timing suggestions for portraits at a hotel, or how to think about evening light and flash in a way that still feels elegant. Think of these as gentle handbooks you can dip into when shaping your plans, not a strict list of rules.
