Simona & Dan | Wedding

· 35 Comments

Ooh I do love an Andaz Liverpool Street wedding! Luckily I have quite a few of them coming up, but Simona & Dan’s was the first one this year, which makes it a little bit special. The ceremony of Simona & Dan’s wedding took place in the Bishopsgate Room of the Andaz, while their drinks reception was held at the Gallery and dinner in the gorgeous 1901 restaurant. I have to say that I was blown away by how Simona had planned every little detail SO perfectly. From her gorgeous Vera Wang gown, to the purple colour theme running through the day, everything looked just absolutely sublime!

After the speeches guests piled onto an old London bus, which ferried us over to the St Mary Axe at the top of the Gherkin. Despite the darkness and the fog, the views from up there very pretty spectacular. What a place to dance the night away! Oh and a special shout out goes to the boys from Wedding Smashers who did a seriously good job on the decks. If you’re in search of the coolest wedding DJ’s in town, look no further.

Thank you so much Dan and (princess) Simona! I loved every minute of your beautiful wedding and I hope you will always be as happy together as you were on the day. <3



































































Fiona & Peter | Wedding

Fiona & Peter’s wedding at the start of January kicked off the 2010 wedding season for me. At the time, UK was in the grips of the biggest snowfall I’ve ever seen in my 10 years here, and in the days of snow mayhem leading up to the big day I was more than a little bit worried about how we were going to get to the wedding! In the end, while there were some scary moments on the icy roads where my heart was in my throat, we did manage to get around to everywhere we needed to be. The wedding took place at Stoke Place, which I have to say is absolutely g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s! I really hope I get to go back there again.

Fiona was a gorgeous bride and this wedding was filled with beautiful details, laughter and good food. Thanks for having us guys, it truly was a pleasure!


































































Katie & Sam | Wedding

Heeere we go! Finally I can show you the last wedding of 2009. Phew! Katie and Sam got married at Hassop Hall in Derbyshire on a very cold December day right after Christmas. Despite all the travelling, and the rather miserable weather, this wedding was an absolute joy to attend. If I had to think of one word to describe Katie, it would probably be exuberant. She was so full of joy on her wedding day, and that joy spread through everyone present. You might remember from their engagement shoot that Sam and cameras don’t exactly get along… I must say though that he was on his very best behaviour all day, and was even game for some portraits in the bathroom!

Hassop Hall itself was a gorgeous venue, and I really hope I’ll get to go back there as it would be nice to make use of the beautiful grounds on a day where icy rain wasn’t involved…

Thanks so much Katie and Sam for having us, I hope you have a long and happy life together!

Yesterday Katie and Sam got married at Hassop Hall in Derbyshire in what was my last wedding of 2009. It was a long old day of travelling half way up the country and back again, but certainly worth it for the chance to be a part of this beautiful winter wedding. Katie and Sam are now off on their honeymoon, and I will be leaving for the airport in about 5 minutes to catch my flight to Finland where I’ll be ringing in the New Year.

See you all in 2010!
