Mandarin Oriental London wedding photographs: Julie & Gavin's wedding

Posted in Wedding Photography at 13:48 on 24/11/2009

The Mandarin Oriental is one of my favourite central London wedding venues, so it was a pleasure to be invited to photograph Julie & Gavin's wedding there. The autumnal weather provided an authentic taste of English weather for Julie's American family & friends!

Julie & Gavin laid on an old Routemaster bus to get everyone back to the Mandarin Oriental for the wedding reception:

I love photographing the wedding speeches, so the American tradition of providing an open microphone for toasts is right up my street:
