Like Gem + Mike’s amazing testimonial, I have no idea where to begin with their London warehouse wedding at 100 Barrington. Perhaps how incredibly loveable and generous Gem + Mike were? Or the comedian monk who conducted the ceremony?? Or possibly the drag DJ?! At any rate, it’s safe to say the day had so much for me to get stuck into, and was such fun to capture and be a part of. Most couples want me there for a couple hours before the ceremony until just after the First Dance, but Gem said she’d prefer more pictures of everyone having a great time on the dance floor, rather than tonnes of pictures of her having her make-up done. And I’m so glad she made that choice as the dance floor went absolutely mental at the end!! The whole time I was there I was thinking how much gold I was getting, but more than that it was just great fun to be around a group of seriously lovely people, all being conducted wonderfully by the amazing drag DJ.
It was not only my first time photographing a ceremony that was beautifully back-lit by the low winter sun, but also photographing at the amazing 100 Barrington (included in my list of the very best warehouse wedding venues in London). From the moment you step in, there’s a real urban industrial feel, with the distressed brickwork, and potted plants, that create a great backdrop for the wedding photography. The other bonus is that it’s fully customisable, a real DIY wedding venue, where you can create the vibe you’re going for.
Finally a shout out to the awesome event planner Dita Rosted, who is simply brilliant to work with, and always manages to put on weddings that are distinct and original.
Bloody awesome dude. You never fail to stun me with your magical eye.
