“Twenty-five years in, and I still stand in those rooms thinking: we actually did this…”

Our Director Jamie Simon sat down with The Best List India on fifty-two years of Banana Split, and why restraint, not excess, is the ultimate luxury. Knowing exactly what to leave out, and building something that feels as though it had always been there.

The full interview is linked in our stories.

Dinner at the Dorchester to celebrate the unveiling of the newly restored penthouse and pavilion. Shot with so many of my brides and grooms up on this terrace over the years. Epic views of the city, a truly iconic spot. @luca.virgilio thanks so much for hosting us.

✨ Memories to remember. Legends to celebrate. ✨

Banana Split and @mana_seg were honoured to bring together legendary names and unforgettable energy at the Pho3nix Sport With Purpose Gala. An evening that brought together champions, changemakers and rising stars. 🦅
From icons like @usainbolt @anthonyjoshua and @chrisfroome to game-changers like @racerbia and @skyebnic, Pho3nix Sport With Purpose Gala brought legends together under one roof.

Unforgettable memories, crafted to inspire. A night where sport met purpose and history was made.

TIMELESS ÉLÉGANCE In the heart of Monaco, at the iconic Monte-Carlo Bay, we transformed a ceremony into a masterpiece of elegance.
A pristine aisle framed by transparent seating, enveloped in cascading white blooms and lush greenery, led to a breathtaking altar with the Mediterranean as its stage.
Every petal, every curve, every detail was designed to embody timeless luxury — a setting worthy of the world’s most exclusive celebrations.

For those who dream beyond limits, this is where perfection begins. ✨🤍 wedding planing & design |@bananasplitevents @julianposner @mrjamiesimon floral design & production | @roni_floral_design @nicolas_barelier @camilledufossewedding @montecarlosbm

Welcome to Mika’s Slumber Party, where guests arrived in pyjamas, actual pillow fights broke out on the dancefloor, and nothing was left unimagined.

Having been on the scene for so many of this family’s celebrations in the past, we KNEW it would be phenomenal.

This was our 15th special event with this incredible extended family, and it’s a real honour. Watching the cousins grow up, seeing how everyone celebrates together, this is about way more than ‘event photography’.   The space was built and transformed into a teenage dream by our talented friends at Banana Split, who are so amazing to work alongside. They got to know Mika so well in the build up to her Bat Mitzvah, that they were able to include hundreds of personalised details in this pastel wonderland.

It was jaw-dropping.   Entertainment was provided by the incredible Muzika, whilst the team from Tete-a-Tete were behind the video cameras alongside our team.

For the last 15 years, we’ve been at the very forefront of capturing luxury events in London, and we’re more driven than ever to make time stand still for our clients.   This is a set of 9 images, to see them all, please head to grid.
