This weekend I met up with Lisa and Mark, a lovely couple who are having a London wedding later this month at the beautiful St. James’ Church near Paddington.
We met up at the church first. The beauty of this place never fails to take my breath away, once you step inside the noise and bustle of London gives way to calm and serenity.
After a short while we wandered over into the cosmopolitan Hyde Park. Even on a relatively cool summer’s day, it was a hive of activity with people playing games, chilling, taking photos; there was even a salsa class going on!
We wandered around the Serpentine for a couple of hours, chatting about the big day and travel, amongst other things. I learned that Mark actually proposed to Lisa in South Africa whilst they were on a round-the-world adventure. That is some planning! I remember stressing about a long weekend to the Lakes to propose to my wife – kudos Mark :)
We walked along the water’s edge hoping the deckchairs would still be out. It was past 8pm by this point and it must have been a 20 minute walk so the stakes were high. We were rewarded and actually cheered when we saw them… result! Anyway, Lisa and Mark – thank you – and I hope it was worth the trek…I am really looking forward to capturing your special day.
