Female London Wedding Photographer
Female London Wedding Photographer
Hello readers!
As a London Wedding Photographers we get lots of inquiries, if we could cover both bride and groom's getting ready on the same time. We are more than happy to do that. Most of the times we share this part of the day. Zibi is covering groom's preparations and Karolina covers bride's side of the party.
What if there is a preference of having female London wedding photographer instead of male and if there is a cultural requirement, that the particular pre wedding event is an Female only event. As we are husband and wife team - Karolina and Zibi - we do shot plenty of times together as a team. Wherever there is a need we are more than happy to shoot separate, covering groom and bride's getting ready. Not every single time there is a need for female photographer to cover bride's morning preparations or vice versa. However many times, especially at weddings different cultures, for example Asian weddings or Muslim weddings, there is a preference on having female London wedding photographer at this part of the day.
Having female London wedding photographer in our husband and wife team, can fulfill the need of shooting female only pre wedding events. That can happen at traditional Muslim pre wedding events, like Henna/Mehndhi party. And we have to mention, that we had such a inquiry and that was the way we shot that events, which came out brilliantly. Being female wedding photographer London is very handy at bride's getting ready. All ladies, especially the bride feels more relaxed and we are able to showcase a little more shots. Sometimes it really comes down to preferences of particular bride. And we do understand this due to lots of different circumstances, like: culture, habits, parents point of view, stress on the day, etc.
London wedding photography as a husband and wife team gives a two different perspectives. Seeing everything thru eyes of male and female photographer is so much beneficial for our couples. We do tend to use different lenses at same particular situations, which results of having some many different shots within same wedding story.
Please let us know if you would prefer to have female London wedding photographer on your pre wedding events. Many thanks.

Save The Date
Save The Date
Is it really that important? Is it popular at all? And, what exactly 'save the date' is?
So, you are engaged and you thinking of getting married? Congratulations. What are the next steps? How to organize a wedding? Well, first of all you need to know when you will get married. Am I right? Well, the wedding date is very important. Otherwise you, your guests and all suppliers will not know what is going on. So, you have a wedding date and you can't wait tell everyone. But how to do it? And when to do it?
YOU ARE WAITING FOR THE PERFECT MOMENT
And that's where the problems stars. But, what is the problem? You are getting married and it is your day, right? You will organize this day as you dreamed all life and you invite your best friends and closest family. So, what is the big deal? Well, you need to let them know that you are getting married and you need to do it right. Once creating your wedding guests list, you need to consider who your guests are, what is their lifestyle and where they will travel from. Do they live next door? Or maybe they will travel from Australia, Canada or Ecuador? Well, you might not really know what their commitments are, how much time they need to book their time off or sort out vacations to come for your dream wedding. That's why 'save the date' has been invented.
Save the date is a formal or not formal short information about possible wedding in the nearer or further future. Can be done really formally like sending personalized cards with particular date and place (which can be changed and/or amended). The purpose of 'save the date' is to give a heads up to your nearest and dearest, that you are planning to get married and they will be invited. If the venue is booked and you put deposit down, it might be very wise to let your future wedding guests, that they need to book time off work, their plane tickets or might consider moving their planned vacations.
There is one more reason why you might consider sending 'save the date' to your wedding guests: think for a second, there is more people getting married and your guests may be invited on someone else wedding on the same day. Well, that actually happened to me last week and that was the reason to think of this blog post. So, we were contacted by a friend, that they plan a wedding and we are invited - formal invitation will follows. After a week formal invitation was handed over and we confirmed our attendance. Well, nothing big deal, am I right? Woohoo. Finally we are going for a wedding as a guests and we do not need to take our cameras with us. And we will go crazy! Yes, we will.
After few days we posted our excitement at instagram stories on our Instagram profile - follow us for daily stories - that we are coming to Lake District for an amazing wedding next year. Yeah... Instantly we were contacted by my best friend, that together with his fiance, they have booked wedding venue on the very same day and we will be invited, but they haven't send formal invitations yet. Wrrrrr... What about 'save the date'?
Am I disappointed? Sure I am. We would love to attend another wedding as a guests. We love them and considering is my best friend it would be brilliant. So, please, do not disappoint your dearest and just save this date.

Virginia Water Engagement
Virginia Water Engagement
Fiona and Elliot Engagement at Virginia Water
The Day started rather wet. Actually it was just like someone pouring buckets of water on you. We just looked on our whatsapp - nope, no message from Fiona. Off we go to Virginia Water engagement. As a London wedding photographer, I get used to wet weddings and engagements. I would say it is just normal, that the only thing you can't really count on is the weather in UK. Well, this day was about to be very different.
Exactly at 3PM, when I was about to meet Fiona and Elliot, the rain just stopped and sun went out. I could not believed my eyes - I was carrying two large umbrellas and now they were useless.
Fiona and Elliot are awesome and full of energy couple. While living locally, they were very happy for a nice afternoon stroll at Virginia Water. What can I say - the shoot went really well, we had an amazing time - I simply am in love with Elliot's sense of humour.

Michele and David Romantic London Elopement
London Elopement
"My wife and I eloped and honeymooned in London. We had Couple of London photograph us the second day we were there. It was a joy and really set the tone for our entire trip. Our photographer was professional as well as a lot of fun and knew his way around the city. It was a pleasure to enjoy the day sightseeing as well as having a professional take photos of us that we will cherish forever.
We were fortunate enough to have two sessions, one in the morning and one later that evening. It was a fun time just to go around the city with our photographer. We felt like a little bit of celebrities as people watched us being photographed, however we felt as if we were in our own little world at the same time.
A couple days later we received some preview photos and they were stunning. It really started to make the vacation feel like it was just about the two of us on our honeymoon and captured us in a way we otherwise wouldn't have been able to see. We discussed our photos the rest of the trip and were drawn closer together.
Once we received our entire collection we were amazed! It truly was worth it and we immediately began making plans for collages and framed canvases and all sorts of ways to decorate our home with our new set of pictures together.
When we returned home I must have showed everyone our set of professional photographs in London. Everyone was surprised and excited at how beautiful our trip was. It was a great experience. We have these photos all over our house and will enjoy the rest of our lives.
I highly recommend using Couple of London if you are looking for a photographer. It's everything you would expect and more! When we go back to London we will definitely book them again and integrate this as a part of our vacation. I hope you will too. Happy travelling!"

Beautiful St Stephens Rosslyn Hill Wedding Photography
St Stephens Rosslyn Hill Wedding Photography
Just have a look at this gorgeous venue! Still cant believe it was just perfect.
But let's start from the very beginning. Couple months ago, I was asked to shoot a wedding as a second photographer alongside amazing Anna of Bianco Photography. It was an absolute honor and a great pleasure. Many thanks for having me.
Start of the day at the hotel in the City of London, where bride and groom were getting ready. Great bunch of friends with them. All make sure everything is ready and stress free.
First Look - St Dunstan East Church Garden
Once both been ready we head to one of the best hidden gems of City of London St Dunstan East Church Garden. If you haven't been there, you must check out that place. It is just phenomenal for this place to exist in the middle of busy London. Ellen and Eric seen each other for the first time on that day and I have to admit it was so emotional. There were only two of them - the world just stopped.
Ironmongers Hall Wedding Ceremony
Cocktail hour, family pictures and wedding ceremony took place at Ironmongers Hall at Barbican in the City. That part of London is so quiet on weekends and that helped a lot. Closest friends and family celebrated with brand new Mr and Mrs and took off to wedding reception with two red double deckers. And this where the real party started!
Wedding photography at St Stephens Rosslyn Hill is so good. That set up is just a joy to capture. Can't thank enough for that day. Please see a selection of favorite images from Ellen and Eric's most important day.

Raluca + Alex
Wedding photography at Hampstead Pergola is a dream for every London wedding photographer. It is absolutely amazing London wedding venue with countless photography possibilities. We have a pleasure to visit that place last week with Raluca and Alex on their engagement 'save the date' pre wedding shoot.
Raluca and Alex are cool and relax couple, who are planning to get married later on next year in Romania. We never had a chance to visit this beautiful country, so would be delighted to go over there for some photographic adventure.
We had so much fun, while we could finally meet and get to know each other a little more.
We love vivid and contrasty pictures
Hampstead Pergola Gardens is a dream for every London wedding photographer and for their clients. It is great for family photography session as well. The reason we love it so much is a fact, that it is impossible not to finish with a set of amazing pictures. Juicy colours all year round, interesting areas with sort of hanging trees and bushes gives fantastic background for both photos and videos of all kinds.

Awesome Engagement Shoot at the Boulevards
Engagement Shoot at the Boulevards
DESTINATION ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
"The session with Couple of London was a very pleasant and fun experience. Zibi and Karolina made us feel like real models. Totally loose atmosphere favored our cooperation. The effects of their work are wonderful! We recommend that you celebrate your engagement with Couple of London!"
A pre-wedding engagement shoot is a great way to take fantastic photos. Our couples often admit that they have almost no pictures together that they would love. And yes, holiday selfies don't count, LOL.
Engagement shoot is important to us as a photographers for one more reason. Namely, during such a session, which usually lasts between 1.5h - 2h, we are able to make friends with the couple, show them the style in which we work, and make them comfortable in front of our lenses. Finally, we will meet at the wedding some time, and believe me, the couples who we already met at engagement shoots behave quite differently, from the ones who didn't go for such a shoot.
Let's go back to the session itself, its organization, place and the couple themselves. For us, as native Szczeciners, this city was always associated with Waly Chrobrego. After a great modernization, after the creation of Boulevards and Lasztownia, Waly Chrobrego returned to their splendor. We liked the opposite bank of the Odra River, called the New Heart of the City. Temporarily the heart of Lasztownia and the brightest object is the so-called Wheel of Szczecin is a carousel, which illuminates after dark creates an amazing atmosphere. The choice of location for our session was obvious - Lasztownia.
Emilia and Tomek, a remarkable couple, a little serious with a pinch of fun. They knew what to expect, and that's not our style anymore. After all, we like to surprise you to introduce something new at every engagement shoot, something we haven't done yet. So that evening we came with an electric scooter rented from EcoShare. At first Karolina was a bit unsure, but when she put on her helmet she knew that it was time for an adventure on two wheels, LOL.
When Emilia saw the scooter she was absolutelly delighted, Tomek was a little scared, but in just a moment he was riding like there was no tomorrow. The idea was great and minty added a different dimension to the photos. Combined with the architecture of Lasztownia, we managed to capture both the beauty of the waterfront and the uniqueness of our couple. And although they don't ride on two wheels on a daily basis, they have a great sense of the 'easy rider' atmosphere.
Let's not forget about the artificial beach, which is an absolutely fantastic idea. Such a huge amount of sand organized on the island is a great spot for families as well as a fantastic place for evening meetings. And these baskets, ah, we love them. Just take a look at the few frames below.
The last part of the session were evening photos. Shortly after dark, a powerful circle illuminated like Las Vegas leads across the river. Yes, yes, nothing to be ashamed of. Wheel of Szczecin is at a world-class level and also presents itself. And it fits perfectly into the engagement shoot we wanted to have in Szczecin.

Pembroke Lodge Wedding Photography
Pembroke Lodge Wedding Photography
Amazing Wedding Story of Britta and Assad at the best West London Wedding Venue Pembroke Lodge, located in the heart of the Richmond Park.
How to start? I don't really know. So much happened there and day was so short. Well, let's start from the beginning.
Day started in two different locations. While Britta was getting ready at her dad's house at Wimbledon, Assad was getting ready with his boys at their apartment in Canary Wharf. At both locations you could feel cultural influence - Britta's Estonian roots and Assad's Mauritian kind of exotic feel. Boys were relaxed, while girls were rushing as usual, lol.
Once they have been almost ready, Assad arrived to Britta's dad house for traditional Estonian pre-wedding games. That was so much fun. They needed to plant their first ever tree and after that change nappy to their brand new baby (of course that was a large size doll, but so realistic). They did well and guess who had the most fun? Britta's dad of course.
Where is Pembroke Lodge in London located?
The wedding venue: Pembroke Lodge is West London wedding venue. Out of all wedding venues located in this part of London, Pembroke Lodge has few unique features: it is located in Richmond Park, one of the most iconic London's parks, what gives lots of wedding photography opportunities as well as adds great vibe to the wedding itself.
The Wedding dress: We were absolutely stunned, how amazing Britta looked. Just have a look at this gorgeous wedding dress from Lusan Mandongus. Or check those jealous looks of other females who attend their wedding. Absolutely priceless.
Wedding traditions can be so different and so surprising. While we had bride originally from Estonia and groom from Mauritius, we could expect for everything to happen. So, very first thing Estonian part of guests showed their presence at the wedding reception by shouting "kibe!" (bitter) from time to time. Every time they did it, bride and groom has to kiss big time. Of course Mauritian part picked up instantly showing big love to bride. From exotic side we had wild music "sega", with such a cool dancing. All (including us) came together and dance until midnight.
Wedding Photographer Richmond
We will come back to the venue itself with a bit of explanation what happened where. So, the grandest room called The Belvedere hosted civil ceremony and wedding breakfast. This room is so flexible, can be turn into larger or smaller depends on the requirements. After wedding ceremony all moved into The Soane Room for cocktails. This room has got access to the outside grounds, so perfect for guests mingling. While we were there, The Belvedere was setup for wedding breakfast. It was done quick and efficient and all could go there straight after cocktail hour.
Why family photos are important at your Wedding Day?
Grand entrance of newly weds, wedding breakfast and speeches went absolutely brilliant. We love that part of the wedding. Speeches always are creative and fun. Straight after that, all went outside for coffees, photo booth and group family pictures, which we always recommend to take. This is the part which most of the newly weds would like to skip, but after years that is the best thing they have from the wedding day - family photographs. Please, do not forget to do that at your wedding.
There is a story in every story
Last part of the wedding - first dance, father and bride dance, wedding games and of course crazy dance floor moves, which we all love.
WE NEVER GO HOME AFTER THE FIRST DANCE - THERE IS SO MUCH ACTION. The dance floor was full thanks to live band - The Danceroom Fillers. Cool boys.
What if it rains on my Wedding Day? Do you do wedding photos in the rain?
Last thing we would like to mention is the weather. We do love British weddings. We do love British weather as well. It can be great forecast, it can be great morning, fantastic during wedding ceremony and once you want to go out to have amazing pictures taken can rain a lot. That was the case on this particular day. Well, what you can do? Just enjoy. You can't plan it, you can't change it. You can take it as it is and enjoy or … Well, Britta and Assad did what they could best - they took the most out of their best day in their life. Check our Pembroke Lodge wedding photography below.
