Sunrise
The centre
Westminster and the Thames bridges before the city wakes up.
Red buses, pastel houses, a sky that changes every few minutes.
London has an effortless elegance, and a couple walking its streets fits naturally into it.
Why London
Classic and modern in the same walk
Victorian houses with colourful doors, great parks, bridges over the Thames and glass skyscrapers. London changes face from one neighbourhood to the next.
This means many different settings in one day, from a quiet mews in Notting Hill to the view from Primrose Hill.
It suits an after-wedding session, a pre-wedding shoot or an elopement, with the neighbourhoods in the morning and the parks at sunset.
The light
Three times of day in London
London's cloudy sky works like a natural softbox: soft, even light that flatters faces. And when the sun comes out, the city shines.
Morning
The neighbourhoods
Pastel houses, colourful doors and quiet pavements.
Sunset
The parks
Warm light on the grass and the city stretching to the horizon.

Before you travel
Seasons, timing and what to wear
When to come
Spring and summer have long days and parks in bloom. In autumn the parks turn golden, while in December the city is decorated and takes on a different character.
The time that matters
We start early for the best-known spots in the centre. The neighbourhoods stay beautiful all day, and we keep the sunset for the parks.
Styling
Classic and comfortable: a coat, a good suit, a dress with movement. Deep colours such as camel, burgundy and dark green suit the city very well. An umbrella in your bag is never a bad idea.
The experience with us
London, whatever the weather
We have photographed couples here, and we come in every season. We know where to go when the sky darkens, which neighbourhoods stay quiet and how to get around quickly by Tube. So you can simply enjoy your day, and we take care of the rest.
- Before the tripWe talk about dates, styling and the kind of images that move you. We plan the route together.
- The centre, earlyWe start with the first light to find the big landmarks quiet.
- The neighbourhoodsWalking, colourful doors, a few gentle directions. We do not stage poses; we let you be together.
- A cup of teaA break to warm up and rest. That is often when the natural, unposed images come.
- Sunset in the parkThe city spread out at your feet, as the light gets low.
