Sharilyn and Jake travelled all the way from the USA to spend some time exploring London, and they reached out to me to photograph a little part of their trip. We chose some of the most iconic spots around Westminster — Big Ben, the London Eye, the red phone booths, and the Thames — the perfect mix of classic London views and relaxed moments together.

We started by the classic red phone booth on Parliament Street with Big Ben behind them, then walked over to Westminster Station for a few relaxed photos by the underground sign. Across the river, we took more portraits by another red phone booth with the London Eye in the background, and a sweet bench moment where the wheel sits perfectly behind them.

On the quieter side of the Thames walkway, under the trees and warm afternoon light, we captured some of their favourite photos — simple, natural moments of them just enjoying being together. We finished at Westminster Bridge and the stone archway nearby, where the sunset created the perfect glow for the final shots.

I love photographing couples visiting London for the first time — these sessions always feel fun, relaxed, and full of genuine memories. If you’re planning a trip and want photos around London’s landmarks, I’d love to document your experience. I photograph couples, families, and travellers across the city — and I travel too.
