Kate and James:





It was a real pleasure to see my beautiful and quite wonderful friend KPs get married to her equally wonderful and good looking beau James. It's great to see a couple so perfectly matched and any one lucky enough to know them or to have been there on the day can verify what I say.

The brief was straight forward capture the day as it happens with little or no posed shots. My kind of brief as posed shots is not really what Rahul (My very able assistant) and I do. I distinctly remember Kate saying "Hurry Up with the pictures man, I want to get back to the canapes." And that was only after 10 minutes alone with her and James, so she really did mean little or no posed shots. Still, we managed to get a few good shots before they went back to the prized canapes.

The light in Pembroke Lodge was just a wee bit to harsh as it streamed through the glass roof during the service but turned to quite glorious as the day turned into night. So, some great opportunities for us to document the dinner and speeches and get some really special moments. Which I've been told we did.

The evening was a riot: I've yet to see a livelier wedding party with Bride & Groom and the Best Man ably setting (and maintaing) a hectic pace which kicked-off with 'Outkasts' brilliant Hey Ya before taking in hip-hop, indie and some classic soul. I even summoned the energy to hit the dance-floor myself, which my friend Emma told me is not a particularly good sight but hey, what the hell.

Lucky umbrella update: This is getting boring now but in the two week run up to this wedding it was forecast rain rain and heavy rain for the wedding day but as you can see from the photos the lucky umbrellas were far from required.

This week: Erroll did very little outside of a very busy schedule that included awards ceremonies, a very Glamorous 5oth Birthday at The Berkley Hotel and shooting some rather swanky office refits.
