The summer of Oppenbarbie: vibrant Wedding in North London

Think Radiohead during a wedding ceremony, quick photos outside a cinema, speeches that had you in stiches… this colourful and vibrant wedding had it all in abundance! This beaut couple opted for a bespoke package and tied the knot in some of their favourite locations in North London, and I may have taken one of my most favourite shots ever… 

A timeline of a vibrant wedding

Sam & Bex met in North London so it’s befitting that they got married there. They didn’t want any photos of them getting ready so I met them at Islington Town Hall where they had a magical ceremony with a killer playlist. I’ve always wanted to hear Radiohead during a ceremony somehow and here the wait was over!

After some quick group photos on the steps with the best people we all headed to Skinny Kitchen for the reception. When I realised we were walking past Screen on the Green I got excited… When we got there we saw the Barbie / Oppenheimer signs - all 3 of us looked at each other and knew. What doesn’t scream colourful wedding photography more than Barbie!? 

Maximum Fun Candids

Skinny Kitchen served up some Thai food before a night of dancing & good vibes. Sam & Bex wanted minimal ‘posed’ pics and maximum fun candid action captured and this is music to my ears. Sometimes all we need is a little walk from venue to venue and these opportunities present themselves. 

I’m totally obsessed with everything on this wedding day:

• The seriously on trend short dress

• The bold colour blocked bride-gang

• The gorgeous sunflower bouquets

But MOSTLY the energy absolutely every guest brought to the table. If you want fun candid photos, you need to have fun people around and this lot were a dream.
