David Pullum London Wedding Photographer

Kate and John | Zell Am See | Austria

David — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:50:15 +0000

So for the second year on the trot I found myself back at The Toni Alm Ski Lodge photographing another MAD wedding. There is just something about this place that lends itself to the wildest wedding receptions I have been to. Last year I had the privilege of photographing Lucie and Max and this year thanks to Grenzenlos Events I photographed Kate and John. Originally from Australia Kate now lives with John in London and on Boxing day they , their family and friends headed out to Zell Am See to get married. Zell Am See is a beautiful place up in the mountains 45 mins from Kitzbuhel,the air is so clean and the light is gorgeous. After the ceremony we made out way to the foot of the mountain to get skidoos up to the ski lodge, it was snowing heavily and I was faced the wrong way round on a skidoo blasting its way to the top of the mountain trying to take images of the couple enjoying the ride.

The party went on until 3.30am, it was seriously great fun, its such an intimate venue, the music is loud and the alcohol flows freely. Here are a few images from their day.

Sara and Gareth | Streifalm | Kitzbuhel

I thought 2010 was unique, a wedding in Kitzbuhel surely was a one off. Well in 2011 just after Christmas I had 2 wedding in Kitzbuhel, recommended by last years wedding planners. I was excited and slightly hesitant, last year I failed to get my plane out of Innsbruck as there was too much snow in Gatwick. This time we failed to get our plane from Innsbruck because there too much snow in Innsbruck. However, that did not spoil what were 2 fantastic weddings. Gareth and Sara married at the local town hall, Austrian wedding ceremonies are slightly different than ours with dancing at the end of the ceremony rounding off a really intimate wedding.

We then headed to the slopes where Gareth and Sara and their guests went skiing for an hour and then onto Streifalm for a meal and some traditional Austrian dancing. The dancing was interesting to say the least, a little wrong in some places , but everyone had a great time. Thank you to Gareth and Sara and their family and friends for making both myself and my family very welcome and for making us all feel part of their wedding day.

Amanda and Daniel | Westminster Park Plaza

David — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:09:54 +0000

I first met Amanda when I was invited round to her parents house just off Baker Street in London. Amanda was so excited about her wedding and the ideas that she had were pretty amazing. A winter wonderland for the Chuppah ceremony and a tropical theme for the evening reception all to be held at the impressive Park Plaza on Westminster Bridge. Both were a real challenge for photographs with extremes of lighting in both rooms however the effect and overall look was spectacular.

Daniel also had an identical brother, which was fine as Daniel had an orchid on his lapel and his brother a rose. However halfway through the Israeli dancing both the flowers on their jackets fell off, which then made it virtually impossible to tell them apart. I dont think Ive ever met twins that are so identical. The problem was solved my Daniel’s brother taking off his tie, much to our relief.

Thanks to Lord and Lady Gold for making us feel so welcome at their daughters wedding and to everyone involved who made it such a great event to photograph.

If you want a wedding with a difference, a venue thats on a ski slope, then the Toni Alm at Zell Am See is the place to go, an amazing venue where you are free to party all night. Here are some previews, more to follow soon. Thanks to Alex and Melanie at Grenzenlos Events for recommending me for this wedding and for all their help on the day, especially the lift back at 4.00am to my hotel.

Gareth and Sara | Wedding Previews

Gareth and Sara were the first of 2 weddings that I had over the Christmas period in Kitzbuhel, Austria. After the debacle in getting home last year I decided this year to take my family with me, and we still had a debacle getting home…. Anyway here are some preview images from their wedding, including some very strange local dancing…

Just before I break for the festive period and 2 weddings in Kitzbuhel next week, I thought I would share some previews from Amanda and Daniel’s wedding at The Park Plaza at Westminster Bridge. Jewish weddings are wonderful events to photograph and this was no exception. More to follow very soon.

Hayley and Justin | The Grosvenor Hotel

David — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:51:48 +0000

I had not met Hayley nor Justin before their wedding at The Grosvenor Hotel in London. I’m always a bit hesitant when I have not met the couple before , but as soon as I walked into Hayley’s parents house in Hampstead they made me feel so welcome and at ease.Jenny my associate had slipped a disc in her back the day before and so many thanks to Tom Weller ( who attended my wedding photography workshop last year) who covered for her on the day and did a great job.

One of my favourite people to photograph on the day, apart from the Bride and Groom of course, was the Rabbi, he had such an expressive face and unlike Church of England vicars, was more than happy for me to photograph the whole ceremony and get as close as I wanted. Thats just one of the things I love about Jewish wedding, they are such a celebration of marriage and faith, and the Rabbi’s always let me photograph whatever I want, it makes life so much easier and of course the couple get pictures of the most important part of their day.

Below are just a few of my favourite images from their day.

Lauren and Gabe | The Waldorf Hotel

David — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 10:34:43 +0000

I first met Gabe at Tanya and James’s wedding at Micklefield Hall 2 years ago, Gabe is one of those people that makes you feel like you have known him for ages, even though you have only just met, Â he isÂ infectious, and a lovely person to be around. Lauren is beautiful, a model who also played the DJ in the Robbie Williams video Rock DJ. The two of them make a wonderful couple.

Lauren and Gabe had been to Israel the week before to sign the marriage contract and had the chuppah at The Waldorf Hotel in London. The ceremony was attended by family and friends, actors, models, footballers and more cricketers than you could throw a stick at, it was a truly fantastic day, with the mostÂ riotousÂ Israeli dancing I have witnessed. To see theÂ rabbiÂ dancing in between Freddie Flintoff and Kevin Pieterson was hilarious.

Every year I do one wedding where I donate the profits to the Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust, who looked after my lifelong friend Jarrod before has passed away 2 years ago. All profits from this wedding went to this wonderful charity to help them to continue the fabulous work they do for people with the illness and their families.

Below are just a few of my favourite images from their day.
