Today was Lag B’Omer, which is the 33rd day in the period which begins on the second day of Passover and concludes on Shavuot. It is the only day within that period when Jewish weddings can take place.
This morning I photographed Lee & Bernard’s wedding at the Landmark Hotel, Marylebone Road. It was a beautiful, little wedding in the Tower Suite, where surrounded by their closest family, and bathed in sunshine which cascaded through the atrium onto their chuppah, they finally tied the knot.

As Lee said to Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg “we have been blessed” as she pointed to their children and grandchildren.
After the ceremony but before a sumptuous lunch created by Michael Rose, I captured some family groups in the Marble Hallway. You should have heard Bernard chuckle as I asked him to hold his wife’s hand!
It is photographing joyous occasions like this that makes me wake up in the morning and love my job.
