Guy Collier | Documentary Wedding Photographer
Let’s be honest. Weddings are concerned mainly with the bride. Rightly so, in my humble opinion, as for many it’s the culmination of a childhood dream and many hours of role-play. My daughter is just 9 and already has married a number of times. Mainly to various soft chaps from Build-a-Bear, but my point should…
Now, this one isn’t an easy one to blog. Not because it’s not a photograph that I keep coming back to (because I do), but because every single time I look at it it launches a haymaker right on the button marked ‘Father and Daughter’. I’m a father, I have a daughter, and this photograph…
So this occasional series is fast-becoming a regular one. Trades Descriptions actions notwithstanding, I hope you’ll indulge me. February and March are typically fairly quiet periods for us wedding photographers in terms of weddings to shoot, so it seems a good time to spend on the behind-the-scenes stuff (ie. the less fun part of running…
And we’re off! 2013 begins as quickly as 2012 ended. If the theme for the end of that year was RAIN then the theme for the start of this is SNOW and COLD. A triple venue wedding to start then. Beginning with Celeste’s prep at her house in Croydon it was a joy to be…

So here we are in leafy Richmond-upon-Thames, at the sublime Bingham Hotel, natch. Scene of previous weddings photographed by yours truly but none, it must be said, quite as wet as this one. Now – ask any wedding photographer what they generally hope for at weddings and ‘dry weather’ will often come back as the reply….
Yesterday. The Bingham. Rain (oh so much rain). A couple who just didn’t care. Sian and Toby – their full story next week. To you all, a wonderful Xmas. 2012 has been a blast and I’ve just one more to shoot before 2013 hits us. But today, Sian and Toby. Just One….
This is a wedding that was meant to happen somewhere else. This is a wedding where 2 people were let down by a hotel. This is a wedding where those 2 people focussed on what was important. This is a wedding where 2 people asked for help in making it all happen with less than…
