NOW WE ARE TEN /// It's our anniversary! Here's a NOW WE ARE TEN /// It's our anniversary! Here's a forever-favourite from our very first official job. September Pictures was born when our friends Sophia and Otto asked us if we'd shoot their wedding – they didn’t want "wedding photographers" so they hired us instead. I was freshly back in London and didn't know if I'd make it back to Los Angeles in time thanks to visa weirdness, and when I found out that I *could* after all I got the best ever email from Sophia, saying: "I am on the toilet with happy tears running down my cheeks. We are so happy beyond words. I'll email later when I'm not peeing." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Chris and I had both been shooting bands and music festivals and parties and our travels for a zillion years already, but I spent that summer second-shooting weddings in London so I'd at least vaguely know what I was doing. And then I hopped on a plane, reunited with Chris in LA, got the world's most intense massage at the Korean Spa on Olympic, threw myself a birthday dinner at El Compadre and hugged Sophia super-duper hard despite my Korean-spa-massage bruises. Then up the coast we drove for the wedding weekend of our lives.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The weather was perfect, the geodesic domes were perfect, the ocean views from the house were perfect, the jewels Sophia's friends glued all over her ruby shoes on the wedding morning were perfect, the ocean views from the house were perfect. S + O's dog threw up in the middle of the night but everything was still perfect. Adriana gave the men haircuts outside by the greenhouse. The bride's dress was custom made for her; I think the groom wore McQueen. Friends performed the ceremony; everyone laughed and laughed and ugly cried with joy. Future Islands were the wedding band. There was shirtlessness and giant bottles of tequila on the dance floor, and I think someone got engaged? Sophia's little niece in her mermaid dress and fluffy white cat ring took the mic and… [CONT IN COMMENTS]
TEN YEARS OF SHOOTING NICE THINGS FOR GOOD PEOPLE: TEN YEARS OF SHOOTING NICE THINGS FOR GOOD PEOPLE: 2011 /// An entire decade ago today, we were in Northern California shooting our friends Sophia and Otto's wondrous pre-wedding dinner at Oz Farm – the first official September Pictures shoot, ever. There were trees festooned with lights, there was screaming into microphones, there was rolling around on the barn floor wrapped in blankets, there was tequila swigged in bathtubs. It was perfect.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #rehearsaldinner #ozfarmwedding #californiabride #californialove #festivalwedding #loveisnotcancelled⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #californiaweddingphotographer #californiaweddingvenue⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lookslikefilmweddings #loveintentionally #modernbride #outdoorwedding #elopeinlondon #londonbride #autumnwedding #londonweddingphotography #brightonbride #brightonweddingphotography #coolbride #creativebride #elopeinbrighton #septemberpictures #2022wedding #2023wedding

TEN YEARS OF SHOOTING NICE THINGS FOR GOOD PEOPLE: TEN YEARS OF SHOOTING NICE THINGS FOR GOOD PEOPLE: 2013 /// Once upon a time in Portugal with Tillie and Chris and their babies. We didn't have our own children at the time, but I've always loved taking unposed kiddo portraits like this. And now that we do have our own two tiny humans, shots like this have gone from "aww, cute" to meaning something altogether more weighty and important. I read once that motherhood is a state of constant loss, because everyday your child disappears and is replaced by someone slightly different – it's wondrous and thrilling and heart-burstingly magical (well, mostly) but you can't press pause and you can't go back. Aaaaaanyway, we'd love to come to your house (or a luxury Portuguese resort) and freeze time for you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #martinhal #childhood #childhoodunplugged #fatherhood #futurememories #letthembelittle #londonbaby #londonfamily #londonfamilyphotographer #londonmother #makeportraits #modernmother #motherhood #motherhoodportraits #familytravel #modernmotherhood #brightonfamily #coolkids @lemon.mag #travelwithkids #brightonbaby #brightonmother #portraitphotographer #postmoreportraits #rockmyfamily #septemberpictures #toddlerlife #withhumans
TEN YEARS OF SHOOTING NICE THINGS FOR GOOD PEOPLE: TEN YEARS OF SHOOTING NICE THINGS FOR GOOD PEOPLE: 2014 /// Going to the American Embassy in London's something we've had to do approximately 9,000,000 times. The first was in 2003, when I finished my journalism degree in London and ran away to work for travel magazines in Los Angeles without even waiting to hear if I'd actually graduated (I did). Our most recent embassy visit, registering Baby #2's "foreign" birth – cue a cheerful wave from Baby #2 in Fitzrovia – was the best because nowadays the Americans have swapped their Soho spot for a new Vauxhall locale, and that means we get to walk past @brunswick_house and remember how much we loved this wedding. Two elegant brides plus one venue crammed chock-full of treasures equals very happy photographers (in my head I'll be a minimalist when I grow up… but my heart is a maximalist for life).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bazaarbride #bridalvogue #coolbride #creativebride #elopeinlondon #twobrides #maximalistwedding #unlikebride #minimalistweddingdress #alternativeweddingdress #theodoremagazine #brunswickhousewedding #londonbride #londonelopement #londonelopementphotographer #londonmicrowedding #blackandwhiteforever #londonweddingphotographer #londonweddingvenue #loveislove #lovemydress #photographyfarmer #withhumans #rockmywedding #septemberpictures #theunwedding #antibride
TEN YEARS OF SHOOTING NICE THINGS FOR GOOD PEOPLE: TEN YEARS OF SHOOTING NICE THINGS FOR GOOD PEOPLE: 2015 /// We racked up a LOT of airmiles in 2015, shooting weddings and hotels in Marrakech, Essaouira, Paris, Budapest, Los Angeles and beyond. But because our 10th-anniversary time-travel trip includes only one picture per year, we’ve gone closer to home, to one of our favourite wedding venues of all time: the Barbican Conservatory in London. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This one also happens to be one of our favourite line-up-and-smile group shots of all time, too. Quite often couples tell us they only want candid photography on their wedding day, with absolutely nothing posed at all, but it’s almost always a good idea to throw in at least one group shot as a historical record of who was there. Thirty years later, you’ll probably be glad we shot it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vintagebride #barbicanwedding #coolbride #creativebride #elopeinlondon #londonbride #londonelopement #antibride #togetherjournal #londonelopementphotographer #futurememories #londonmicrowedding #londontownhall #londonwedding #londonweddingphotographer #londonweddingvenue #lovemydress #coollondonwedding #coolweddingvenue #photographyfarmer #rockmywedding #septemberpictures #theunwedding #wayoutwedding #barbicanconservatory
