I have to start packing for tomorrow’s wedding now, but I can’t wait to finish editing Rose & Brendan’s beautiful Dorset garden wedding on my return, so that I can show you more images. Everything about this wedding was prettiness turned to the max!
Funnily enough Helen & Tom’s wedding was the first ‘local’ wedding I’ve ever been a part of. I cover a lot of weddings in central London, and all over the UK, but for some reason I’ve never gotten a lot of enquiries for south west London where I’m based. So in that sense, this wedding holds a special place in my heart.
Helen and Tom got married at the Holy Trinity on Twickenham Green and the reception of their wedding was held at the beautiful Richmond Hill Hotel. The sun was beaming down with all it’s strength all day and the wedding had a real fun and warm atmosphere to it. Helen is one of those uber-organised brides, and I have to say that the schedule at this wedding ran like clockwork (which is a rare thing)! I also have to mention the photo booth, provided by Groovybooth, which was a real blast. I’m not normally a huge fan of photo booths, but this one definitely worked well and looked like a lot of fun – not to mention the resulting pictures were really cool.
I’d like to thank Helen and Tom for finding me so early on, and for being totally awesome, I really loved getting to know you and your families. I wish you all the best for your future together!
It’s a rainy day in Cornwall today so I thought I’d make the most of being stuck indoors and finally give you a full post on Anna & Chris’ beautiful Surrey wedding.
For this wedding we got to travel to the picturesque village of Chiddingfold in Surrey. Anna and the girls got ready at the incredibly atmospheric over 400 years old Crown Inn Hotel, while the boys were enjoying a drink to ease their nerves in the pub downstairs.
Both the ceremony and the reception took place at the stunning Ramster country house, which bathed in glorious sunshine all day. Since Anna and Chris were to became Mr and Mrs Wood, there was a nature/wooden theme running through the decorations. I really adored the wild flower arrangements and all the ‘wooden’ stationary. Such prettiness everywhere!
One of my favourite parts of the day has to be when after the speeches all the guests joined in to serenade the bride with one of her favourite songs. Such a great surprise and a beautiful moment!
Here’s a little sneaky peek from Anna & Chris’ beautiful Surrey wedding from a few weeks back. You might remember their engagement session in Richmond Park from last year. I’ll be down in Cornwall for the next week, but hopefully I’ll be able to finish this wedding and post some more pictures while I’m there. Depends entirely on whether I’m too busy sitting on the beach, reading the huge stack of books I’ve been hoarding for this trip!
It’s been a bit of a traumatic week so far, as on Monday, on my way to a engagement session, I fell down some stairs that gave way due to rust and tore the ligaments in my ankle. Ouch doesn’t quite cover it! It’s been a busy week rescheduling things and arranging for cover and extra help for upcoming events. Fingers crossed I’ll be back on my feet soon though!
In order to cheer us all up I’m finally posting some pictures from Amy & Jonny’s super pretty Kent wedding. I have to say I really adored Amy’s style on the day. Amy’s gorgeous dress and veil were by Amanda Wakely Sposa and her beautiful hair bloom, an ivory feather peony which I absolutely l-o-v-e-d, was designed and made by Yasmin Rizvi. Her perfectly ‘imperfect’ hair was carefully teased into place by Victoria Boorman and her make up was done by Vicky Snepp from Space NK in Tunbridge Wells.
The ceremony took place in the charming St Peter’s Church in Ightham, made really special by the beautiful singing from the members of the City of London Choir (with soloist Louisa Brown). This was followed by a reception in the family garden, held in a marquee decorated beautifully with flower arrangements made by a family friend, Judy Debenham (who was responsible for the gorgeous boquets as well), and lots of personal touches, such as the cute lavender bags made by Amy’s mum and the napkins which were made by Amy herself from fabric off-cuts from Cabbages and Roses‘ gorgeous fabrics. Henrietta Donovan was in charge of the catering and I must say that all the food looked simply divine!
I feel so privileged to have been a part of this lovely wedding, with such loving atmosphere and beauty all around. I wish Amy and Jonny all the best in their future adventures together! <3
