Ciaran and Samantha’s winter wedding was at Blenheim Palace in early December. I first met Ciaran when he was the best man for a Sam, whose wedding at Claridges I shot in August last year. Both Ciaran and Samantha live and work in Hong Kong and it was great to see family and friends from across the globe attend their wedding. Shooting a winter wedding is difficult in the UK, and a ceremony after 4.00pm adds to that so when Samantha arrived at the church it was virtually dark. I love the extra pressure involved when photographing in these conditions, it makes you think on your feet and anticipate moments happening.

The reception was wild, fantastic speeches by all and some great dancing. Below are a few of my personal favourites.
