Penny & Alex | Wedding

July 9, 2014 · 23 Comments

How do I even begin describing Penny & Alex’s Cornish wedding day? One of my favourite places on earth, Trevose Head in Cornwall, check. A couple who designed a day to look exactly like them, which I always adore, check. A day so relaxed and full of genuine moments, there wasn’t even one formal group to capture, check. Torrential rain, che… err never mind that one! And yet, the insane downpour right at the beginning of the cliff top ceremony didn’t even matter, somehow it just added to the atmosphere of the day.

Penny and the girls got ready at Stein’s at Trevone Farm, which had the same chilled and yet stylish look as the rest of the day, as did the pretty stationery by Project pretty. Penny had her hair done by Holly Luisa, and she teamed her Jenny Packham Eden gown with glittery flip flops from Aldo for a glamorous and yet comfortable look.

Trevose Head is such a wild and beautiful place on it’s own, but it looked even more magical on Penny & Alex’s wedding day, with beautiful outside ceremony setting with a wedding back board by Rosie Harbottle, and flowers by Garden gate flower company and BJ Richards. Virginias vintage and Very vintage hire provided the props and Sarah Talbot from Miss Tea was in charge of catering on the day. The delicious looking ‘naked’ cake was by Natural cake company.

It was an absolutely pleasure to once again work with humanist celebrant Zena Birch, who not only always finds the most beautiful words to illustrate her points, but also looks pretty darn cute in wellies and a yellow rain coat.

And I can’t very well forget Goose, Penny & Alex’s adorable dog, who was pretty much the star of the whole show. He was so excited about being part of everything that he could hardly contain himself (or his cuteness) all day, apart from when it came to posing perfectly for the couple portraits.

It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this amazing day full of so much beauty and happiness, and I want to wish Penny & Alex lots of luck on their next adventure, as they relocate to Australia in a couple of weeks! x

Alana & Daniel | Wedding

May 13, 2014 · 3 Comments

I first met Alana & Daniel last summer when we got together for their engagement session in London. Last month we travelled to Sweden to celebrate their wedding day. Spring hadn’t completely sprung, but there was something truly magical about the calming tones and the quietness of the Scandinavian countryside. Along with the small group of friends and family who gathered at FågelbroHus for Alana & Daniel’s big day, we really felt like we were part of something truly special.

Thank you Alana & Daniel for having us, it was an honour to be a part of your day! x

Ali & Duncan | Wedding

November 22, 2013 · 24 Comments

Ali & Duncan’s wedding took place in one of the most charming locations I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting, Harold’s House in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. Perched on a top of a cliff, with beautiful views across the beach and the Pacific Ocean, it’s no surprise the house has been used for filming and photo shoots, such as Rihanna’s cover shoot for Vogue and for an episode of Californication among many other things.

Since Ali & Duncan were having a Jewish wedding on a Saturday, the ceremony had to take place after sunset. This meant for a slightly unusual order of events, including a first look portrait session, and cocktail hour before the ceremony.

If the house was stunning, so was Ali. She looked absolutely breathtaking in her Lazaro gown and Jimmy Choos! Chris Albanese from Argyle Events was in charge of everything running perfectly, and he was a joy to work with. Caterers Roomforty created some out of this world dishes, while Twig & Twine was in charge of the flowers, and The Butter End for the beautiful cake.

Another thing that made this wedding special was that we shot it together with the talented Nick Ray, who is a part of my new associate team.

Thank you so much Ali & Duncan for having us! It was such a pleasure and privilege, and please do send us some more of that Californian sunshine, I miss it so! x

Rita & Craig | Wedding

November 13, 2013 · 8 Comments

I love an opportunity to travel to the West Country, so I was looking forward to Rita & Craig’s wedding day at Tunnels Beaches in Devon for ages, and this gloriously sunny October day was certainly worth the wait!

The day started with bumping into familiar faces, as the ladies from Changing Faces were in charge of makeup and hair. Rita then got dressed in her beautiful Charlie Brear gown and cool Chie Mihara shoes from Lula Bilbao. The pretty bouquets and flower arrangements were from The Somerset Flower Farm and Rita & Craig had designed their cute invites themselves.

Arriving to the beach via a tunnel opening to a most gorgeous view in front of you, was really something special. I have to say this is one of the prettiest, and most unusual, places I’ve seen to get married in, especially when the weather is nice! The staff taking care of the catering were also brilliant and helpful, making sure everything ran on time but in a relaxed atmosphere.

The tables with their mismatching linens and little animals echoing the cute invites Rita & Craig had designed were absolutely adorable. The wedding sign and placecards by First Snow Fall, and personalised BerinMade stamps added to the prettiness, as did the beautiful cake by Rosanne Hollowell.

Rita & Craig’s day was a coming together of two families, and two countries (UK & Spain) and cultures, and this made for such a joyful celebration. Despite the at times nippy October air, the day was full of warmth and laughter. Thank you so much for letting us be a part of it all Rita & Craig! x

Lyn & Marc | Together

September 30, 2013 · 7 Comments

Oh, Florence, how I love thee. Last month I spent a couple of weeks in Tuscany (more on that later) and was very happy to fit in an engagement session in Florence with Lyn & Marc. Florence to me is just pure magic, it’s definitely up there on the list of cities I could live in. In the early hours of the day, we headed out to the almost empty streets in search of some gorgeous light, courtesy of the rising sun. And what a lovely morning we had. I think being a Florence-based photographer of couples in love should definitely be noted down somewhere in my life plan. Yup.
