Claire & Adil {Wedding}

Claire & Adil travelled over from their home in Morocco to marry in Claire’s hometown, Fulham, a week before Christmas. The wedding was organised in only 3 months, a remarkable task especially given they were doing it from another continent! The couple married in Hammersmith & Fulham Town Hall and had a reception in Pissarro, a restaurant in a remote location by Chiswick pier which proved perfect for their intimate affair. Unfortunately I was unable to photograph their ceremony, due to the venue’s restrictions, although the rest of the day more than made up for it. The reception venue was beautifully decorated and made use of nice personal touches. The tables in the seating plan were named after places around the world that meant something to the couple, such as where they met. Their guests were kept entertained throughout the night, there was even a raffle organised for after the meal which turned out to be a lot of fun. Everyone was so excited Santa had come early, running up and down to collect their “christmas present” prize. Claire & Adil are a really cool couple and it was great to be chosen to photograph their big day. Thank guys, all the best in your lives together.Claire&Adil-1 Claire&Adil-2 Claire&Adil-3 Claire&Adil-7 Claire&Adil-17 Claire&Adil-20 Claire&Adil-25 Claire&Adil-27 Claire&Adil-28 Claire&Adil-31 Claire&Adil-33 Claire&Adil-34 Claire&Adil-37 Claire&Adil-43 Claire&Adil-45 Claire&Adil-50 Claire&Adil-51 Claire&Adil-62 Claire&Adil-65 Claire&Adil-66 Claire&Adil-70 Claire&Adil-75 Claire&Adil-80 Claire&Adil-87 Claire&Adil-89 Claire&Adil-94 Claire&Adil-95 Claire&Adil-96 Claire&Adil-100 Claire&Adil-102 Claire&Adil-107Claire&Adil-110 Claire&Adil-112 Claire&Adil-120 Claire&Adil-123 Claire&Adil-126 Claire&Adil-128 Claire&Adil-133 Claire&Adil-141 Claire&Adil-142 Claire&Adil-146 Claire&Adil-150 Claire&Adil-151 Claire&Adil-153 Claire&Adil-156 Claire&Adil-157 Claire&Adil-158 Claire&Adil-163 Claire&Adil-164 Claire&Adil-165 Claire&Adil-167 Claire&Adil-168 Claire&Adil-170 Claire&Adil-175 Claire&Adil-177 Claire&Adil-181 Claire&Adil-187 Claire&Adil-188 Claire&Adil-190 Claire&Adil-195 Claire&Adil-199 Claire&Adil-203 Claire&Adil-205 Claire&Adil-206 Claire&Adil-208 Claire&Adil-210 Claire&Adil-214 Claire&Adil-216 Claire&Adil-224 Claire&Adil-230 Claire&Adil-234 Claire&Adil-235 Claire&Adil-240 Claire&Adil-242 Claire&Adil-244 Claire&Adil-255 Claire&Adil-260 Claire&Adil-263 Claire&Adil-264 Claire&Adil-267 Claire&Adil-271 Claire&Adil-272 Claire&Adil-273 Claire&Adil-274 Claire&Adil-277 Claire&Adil-281 Claire&Adil-283 Claire&Adil-287 Claire&Adil-290Claire&Adil-295 Claire&Adil-298 Claire&Adil-305 Claire&Adil-309 Claire&Adil-311 Claire&Adil-312 Claire&Adil-313 Claire&Adil-317 Claire&Adil-318 Claire&Adil-320 Claire&Adil-326 Claire&Adil-328 Claire&Adil-336 Claire&Adil-337 Claire&Adil-343 Claire&Adil-345 Claire&Adil-346 Claire&Adil-348 Claire&Adil-350 Claire&Adil-352 Claire&Adil-353 Claire&Adil-355 Claire&Adil-369 Claire&Adil-370 Claire&Adil-374

I was honoured to be asked to photograph the annual STAR (Student Action for Refugees) conference at the Freedom from Torture centre last month. I previously photographed their Committee Training in June and it was great to work with them again.

STAR is the national network of student groups working to improve the lives of refugees in the UK by: promoting positive images of refugees, volunteering for local refugee projects & campaigning for refugees. STAR student groups are independently constituted student union societies, based at universities all over the UK.

It was a highly informative day and the students heard from a variety of guest speakers. The conference discussed the work of STAR, their fight against immigration detention, torture survivors in the UK & ended with the students creating a message as part of Parliament Week, urging MP’s to take action.
