I’ve been excited about this wedding for over a year so I’m really pleased to present the first photographs from Christine and Phil’s incredible London/Chinese wedding. This was the first Chinese wedding I’ve photographed and I had an absolute ball.
The day started early, with Phil and his ushers arriving at Christine’s house just after dawn. As tradition dictates, before Phil was let in to see his bride Christine’s bridesmaids (well, ‘sisters’) had a host of ‘door games’ planned so Phil could prove that he was worthy of seeing her. There were thongs to wear, wasabi paste to brush their teeth with and some awesome silly dancing. Only one neighbour complained, which was pretty good given how uproarious and noisy the fun was. Once Phil was finally allowed in there was a tea ceremony, with Christine and Phil pouring tea for their elders. We then went to Phil’s house for a tea ceremony with his family. On the way to China Town for the (amazing) wedding banquet we stopped at Bank for a fun few minutes of pics with some of the wedding party.
It was an incredible day – as you can see from the photographs there was lots of laughter and love, and a whole load of amazing food. Thanks to Christine and Phil for including me (and thanks for sending me the chocolates afterwards – so sweet of you).


































































I’d like to introduce little Max and his family. Max arrived early, so at 5 weeks old he’s not yet past his due date – he’s tiny but look how gorgeous he is! Oh, and his sister’s pretty cute too!














I’d like to introduce Ismene – a baby sister for lovely Barnaby, who I did a newborn shoot for a couple of years ago.












OK, a final post that I should have written last year! Here are some lovely words from Annie and Phil, who married at the Hospital of St Cross in Winchester last year.
Hi Sarah,
We loved having you as our photographer and everyone commented on how brilliantly you did, how hard you were working and how charming and lovely you were. So great to have a familiar and friendly face, thank you so much! I never knew I could be quite so bossy until it came to getting the “official” photos done, you were brilliant and very patient with everyone being distracted! Thank you for speeding through those it was great to have a bit of time to walk around the garden to chat to people as well as get all those piccies.
The ones you’ve put up on the blog are stunning, I was quite emotional seeing them, you’re very talented at capturing the moment so well.
With love from us both
Annie and Phil x
