Four frames from four amazing days… stay tuned.
Sarah & Will | Engagement
There was a very narrow window of opportunity for us to make Sarah & Will’s engagement session happen, since Will was only going to be in London for a few days, and it would be the last time he came over before Sarah moves to the US in the Autumn to live with him. And of course on that one day that we could make work, it rained and rained aaall day long. But it turned out not to be such a bad thing. At one stage, when the rain got torrential, we retreated into Sarah’s flat and had some fun jumping on the bed. I’ve always wanted to shoot inside someone’s home so it was actually a lot of fun!
I think the fact that Sarah, who’s a designer for Cath Kidston, always tends to draw girls with umbrellas was an omen. Or as it turned out, a sign of fun times with umbrellas to come!
P.S. how cute is the picture of Sarah & Will together when they were little and used to be family friends? Just, awww…
Rachel & Nick | Wedding
On the day of Rachel & Nick’s East Sussex wedding the main road between me and them was closed due to a bad accident in the night. It took some innovative orienteering and extra hours finding our way without getting caught in the chaos, but oh boy was Rachel & Nick’s wedding worth it all!
Rachel got ready in her childhood home with her bridesmaids and, despite everyone having been up to the early hours with wedding-related tasks, the atmosphere throughout the morning was more joyous than stressed or nervous. Toni and Guy created Rachel’s beautiful hairdo, which went perfectly with her Jenny Packham gown (from Miss Bush Bridal) and Rupert Sanderson heels – she looked so so glamorous! A gorgeous bouquet by Shimizu Flowers completed the picture (and got me a bit obsessed with David Austin roses!). A really sweet touch was the veil, which was Rachel’s mum’s and was shortened by Miss Bush for Rachel to wear as her ‘something old’.
The ceremony took place at St James the Great on Ewhurst Green and was made even more special by the fact that Rachel’s uncle, the former Abbot of Alton, conducted the ceremony with Rachel’s Godfather, the current Abbot of Alton, assisting. We then headed back to the village, to a field with stunning views, where a beautifully decorated marquee awaited. Super Event took care of the catering, and Rachel’s lovely mum organised a team of ladies who did all the flowers in the marquee.
Other vendors I ought to mention are Hummingbird Bakery, who created the adorable cake, and Blush Publishing who were in charge of stationary. It was also lovely to see Gareth of GJ’s Discos, it’s been a while since we last bumped into each other at a wedding!
I can’t say enough good things about Rachel and Nick and their lovely families, who all made us feel so welcomed. Rachel and Nick, I wish your life together will be as filled with love and warmth as your wedding day was! x
Rachel & Greig | Wedding
I first met Rachel & Greig when I photographed their friends’ wedding, where they were guests at, in 2009. It wasn’t long after that when they got in touch to book me for their own wedding, which back then seemed to be a loooong long way away in the future. It was somewhat surreal that the big day actually came around in what felt like a relatively short amount of time.
Rachel & Greig’s wedding took place at Warbrook House, with a trip to the ceremony at the beautiful St. Michael’s and All Angels Church in Sandhurst in between. To start the day off, Rachel and the girls got ready in the Morning Room, where Eric Perin worked his magic on hair and Mel Kinsman with make-up. Rachel’s beautiful gown was by Rosetta Nicolini, and her amazing shoes, which were the stars of the day (well, you know, for a shoe-lover!), were by Irregular Choice.
Florist Stella Charman had created flowers to match the fresh and unique orange colour theme, which ran through everything from the bridesmaids dresses, to the stationary by LilyLou and You and the reception room décor.
I have to say I just loved the setting of Rachel & Greig’s wedding. Warbrook House and the grounds were grand, but yet warm and inviting, and it was charming to have cows grazing right outside. It had been a long wait to celebrate this day, and I feel so happy to have been a part of the journey. Thank you so much for having us share your beautiful day with you, I hope the rest of your life together will be as filled with laughter and warmth as your wedding day was!
Johanna & Sven | Wedding
To take my mind off the tragic things happening in London at the moment, I thought I’d reminisce over Johanna & Sven’s wedding in Finland. You might remember their engagement session in Richmond Park from last year when they still lived in London. The couple have now happily relocated to Johanna’s native Finland, where their wedding celebrations brought together friends and family from Finland and Belgium, where Sven hails from, but also from the UK where they used to live.
Johanna and her bridesmaids got ready at Sokos Hotel Alexandra in Jyväskylä, where her lovely braided do and beautiful make-up were created by Marika from AK Hius & Meikki Akatemia. Johanna’s stunning gown was custom made and her shoes were Perov by Rainbow Couture, while her jewellery was from Vatne Designs.
The ceremony of Johanna & Sven’s wedding took place in the picturesque Korpilahti Church, which was a beautiful setting for the occasion. It had looked like a lovely sunny day, until exiting the church that is, which is when the skies opened up and the rain started pelting down. That became a bit of a theme for the rest of the day (well, Johanna & Sven did want to include something British in their day… :D), with heavy downpours alternating with bursts of sunshine. It did mean that we got to witness the most amazing rainbow ever, mind. Wanha Voimala, and old power plant in Vaajakoski, made for an unusual and quirky reception venue.
Other vendors I feel I ought to mention were the caterers, Punainen Pirtti, and the florists, Ruusupuu. Another noteworthy detail is that all the pretty stationery was made by Johanna herself with the help of her bridesmaid.
It is always lovely to get to go back ‘home’ and this time it was made even more special by getting to be a part of this amazing day. Thank you Johanna & Sven for having me! Gefeliciteerd!
