A brilliant and thought-provoking article by Simon Dewey Photography


I gave up on posing a little while ago. I stumbled across photographers like Tracy Jade & Naomi Goggin who were just letting couples exist in their own space. It was a lightbulb moment – I’ve also studied under Jesh de Rox and Luis Garvan and all sorts of photographers who have approaches to working with people and emotions. And whilst their methods usually produce something more natural, it always felt somehow manipulative and dishonest to do this on a wedding day – a day that should be filled with natural emotion.

How can I convince you not to follow wedding blogs for the details? How can I show you I believe in my heart that weddings are ALL about the love, connection, celebration – when this epic wedding lands in my inbox with all its glorious disco sparkle and vibrant colour!

Because this amazing celebration looks incredible. And as amazing as it looks, its heart and soul is what absolutely shines. Jack and Kieran’s wedding stands out because their personalities burst beautifully from the screen. Their love – the glimmer of a happy tear, the joy they share with everyone around them – sparkles even more than those gorgeous disco balls.

A classic, graceful and elegant English Wedding to begin the week – and I have to say I’m in love with the flowers from Georgie and Sean’s stunning day. Styling is elegant and pretty – summer vibes all the way because I’m not ready for autumn just yet! The images are just lovely, Georgie and Sean look amazing, and do watch out for their super cute cake topper! With heartfelt thanks to a lovely couple for their glowing supplier reviews, and to Zara Davis for all of the images we’re sharing here and on instagram @englishweddingblog today!

I loved Anna and Ali’s wedding as soon as I laid eyes on their images. This is everything a wedding needs to be, nothing more or less: a lovely couple surrounded by their best people, and a heartfelt celebration filled with love. Images by Newcastle wedding photographer Joss Denham are relaxed, natural and utterly perfect. Styling was kept understated, yet beautiful, with white and pink blush for the flowers. And the advice Anna and Ali share for other couples resonates with many of our recent posts here on the blog and on our instagram:

So this is a real wedding with a difference. I’ve been scrolling through these stunning photos from Georgina and Kyle’s Buckinghamshire wedding, by York Place Studios, and it’s so inspiring to see how their day evolves.

There’s such a unique, beautiful story to be told – as with every wedding – and I love how you can really feel the emotions from excitement to nerves to joy to hilarity as day turns to evening. Georgina and Kyle had an amazing wedding. Documentary wedding photographers York Place Studios captured it brilliantly, and with a focus on people and personalities and connection, their images offer a different take on how a wedding unfolds. Because a wedding isn’t a visual leap from the aisle to the confetti to the reception to the dance floor. It’s a million moments in-between all of those.
