London Bridal shoot - My top 50 favourite images | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding and Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com | www.facebook.com/gavinconlanphotography

In honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations I thought it would be the perfect time to showcase the amazing Bridal shoot I did a couple of months ago in our gorgeous Capital City.

We had the absolute honour to be able to shoot at the top of the iconic Gherkin building in London's Bishopsgate area, the stunning Leadenhall Market and the fantastic Millennium Bridge with St Paul's Cathedral making the perfect backdrop.

London is an amazing City and when you merge that with a beautiful model and a stunning wedding dress I was blessed with the opportunity of capturing an endless amount of beautiful images.  With this post I decided to showcase my top 50 favourites in no particular order - I hope you love them too.

All images were shot using a mixture of available/natural light, video lights and Nikon speedlights.  I am thinking about posting before and after images - if you think this is something you'd like to see and could possibly help you with your photography and editing in some way please leave a comment below....

If you are interested in booking a session with me you can get in touch via my website or on here.

I hope whatever your doing in honour of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations this weekend that you have amazing fun with your loved ones...

God Bless the Queen and thank you Her Majesty for our extended bank holiday ......

London photo shoot with Anastasia | Gavin Conlan UK Wedding & Portrait Photographer based in Essex | www.gavinconlan.com

A couple of weeks ago being the hardcore people we are we planned a little shoot around the Embankment/Southbank area of London.  It maybe wasn't the greatest idea to shoot next to the River Thames as the wind chill factor was really and I mean REALLY cold.... I think it took a couple of days just for my hands to thaw out and warm back up...

Besides from the cold and grim weather on the day we had a great laugh and managed to capture a lot of images that I love, below is a selection of images from the shoot (thank god for that warmish stairwell), I hope you enjoy the results....

All images were shot with either available light or daylight balanced video lights with occasional use of a nikon speedlight for some back lighting.

Ps... big thanks to Anastasia for braving the weather...

PPs... big thanks to ME for not moaning much...
