Amazing Wedding photo shoot! Night shoot around London

A rare look behind the scenes of a real life wedding photo shoot. In celebration of the London 2012 Olympics, I wanted to join in the action and commemorate this historic event by producing a unique set of wedding photos showcasing not only London's finest architecture, but a quiet romance and tranquillity that is so rarely seen in the city.

To produce the peaceful and romantic images I'd envisioned meant only one thing -- shooting through the night! This way we could avoid the crowds and traffic and have London to ourselves. I wanted to capture the magical first light that comes with dawn; a light that is rarely seen by most people. The shoot took place at the height of Summer Solstice, meaning we had a nice early sunrise before the crowds appeared, and it was warm enough to shoot through the night. We started at about 2 in the morning, and carried on until the sun came up.

All in all I couldn't have asked for the wedding photo shoot to go better; miraculously despite being the wettest June on record we had a completely dry night and a perfect sunrise.

Here is my tribute to a truly magnificent and majestic city, showing a side of it we so rarely see.
