On the 9th of September, 2023, I had the immense pleasure of capturing the love and commitment between Madeleine Candace Bennett and Phaninder Seshu Chokkarap at a breathtaking Surrey wedding.
This enchanting journey began with a heartfelt ceremony at St. Peter’s Church in Hersham, Surrey, followed by a splendid wedding breakfast and reception at Burhill Golf Club in Walton-on-Thames.
