My Best Wedding Photos (According to Me)

May 18, 2021 Michael Maurer

During London’s first lockdown, I emailed all my previous couples to ask them what their favourite photos I’d taken at their weddings were (and why). I had a lot of fun looking through all the responses, and compiled them all into a blogpost you can see here.

A few weeks ago I thought I’d do the same, but pick them myself this time. Most of my favourite images I’ve ever taken have already ended up on my portfolio, so for this little project I wanted to to take a different approach. I set out on finding my top ten photos for my favourite moments of the wedding day, all the way from the bride revealing her dress to the couple having their first dance together.

Some of the photos were taken in the mountains of Puerto Rico, some at the beautiful Kew Gardens, and others at Syon Park, one of my favourite wedding venues in London (and where I am an approved supplier!). It took me a lot of time to decide which ones are my favourites, but here they are!
