A Gatsby-influenced country mansion wedding was just the ticket for a film-obsessed couple like Ching and Jamie.  Chinese symbolism combined with Hollywood glamour made for a extravaganza filled with meaning and personality just so unique to this gorgeous couple.

The ceremony and reception were held at Hedsor House and their love of film extended to the decor, naming the tables after their favourite love stories: Love Actually, Jerry Maguire, The English Patient and of course, The Great Gatsby for the main table.  The flowers and food were full of Chinese symbolism and heritage. The favours were Taiwanese pineapple cakes made by Ching’s mum, whom Ching clearly owes some of her culinary success to! (Ching is a well known TV chef in the US, with a number of series to her name: so talented!)

Ching wore a beautiful Jenny Packham gown and Jamie a tailor-made Valentino suit – styled to match the glamour and elegance of the Gatsby theme. A live band and cocktails at the reception got the party going full swing and made for a decadent and classic evening reception filled with fun and laughter.

The evening ended with an amazing fireworks display which marks any Chinese celebration as a symbol of happiness – and who could be more happy than Ching and Jamie as they start their married life together.

It was such a pleasure to capture the magical day you became husband and wife Mr & Mrs C; I wish you so much love and happiness as you continue your journey through life together. All my love!

When you are a cool, edgy couple working in the entertainment industry, you don’t throw a wedding that is like anyone else’s right? No….. you stamp your own very personal style and create a celebration at home that’s full of meaning and personality, and uniquely your own: both laid-back and lively and a ton of fun!

Lou and Rocco chose Lou’s family home to host their wedding, which her parents had very kindly held onto a little longer so the couple could complete the family tradition of marrying there, before her parents sold the house and moved on. The celebrations were hosted in different locations around the gardens – from a humanist ceremony is a marquee in the apple orchard – to a lively band in the driveway.

The stars of the show – after Lou & Rocco of course – were the amazing original Doritos band off the TV advert – the Mariarchi Band. Hilarious, fun and awesome musicians to boot, these guys got the party going at full swing right from the drinks reception.

As the sun set the family released gold balloons into the dusky skies, one to mark each dear family member who had moved on, in a meaningful and poignant acknowledgement to those loved and lost, but never forgotten.

And as the balloons flow off into the sky, so this couple were about to fly off to their own new life. Lou and Rocco’s wedding was a statement of their love and marriage, a coming together of 2 happy families, and also a send off to the newly married couple who shortly after emigrated to the US to begin a new life together.

To Lou and Rocco: America is a better place for your sense of fun and personality, and I hope your have a long and happy new life together and a marriage that is filled with just as much laughter and love as the day it started. All my love xxx
