Shirley and Armin are a lovely couple at it was a pleasure to photograph their wedding at Dulwich Picture Gallery in south London. It was a civil wedding ceremony conducted in the Linbury Room followed by the drinks reception in the Soane Gallery. I was delighted to learn when the couple booked their photography coverage that it was to be a Persian wedding celebration and I knew then it was going to be great fun to photograph.
The day quickly disappeared in a whirl of celebration and apart from a few minutes of organised family portraits, everything else was photographed journalistically – just as it happened. This is the best way to tell the story of the wedding day, I know that the wedding photographs will bring back the day in the many years to come.
