Charlotte and James married at a Surrey church followed by a reception held in a marquee in the grounds of her childhood family home, where she grew up in and where her parents still live. Her mother is a passionate gardener and incorporated plants and vegetables from the garden in the decor – from a hay bale barn area for sipping drinks, with a beautiful display of botanical prints on the wall, to the indoor drinks reception tent, with vignettes of gardening tools, plants and more botanical illustrations. Charlotte wore Mira Zwillinger and carried flowers with local wilds flowers incorporated to honour the woods on the property with their abundant wild cows parsley. A wood fired pizza van, made from a vintage Citroen van came to deliver late night snacks, and planes with coloured smoke flew at sunset in a magical fly by display.

Charlotte and James, your wedding was the perfect blend of romantic and relaxed fun, utterly personal and unique, and so beautiful, relaxed yet elegant. Wishing you endless fun and romance for many more years to come….

Shot 100% on film.

Jules & Russell

March 14, 2012

 

Jules and Russell (both twins!) knew things were special pretty much from the start, and it wasn’t long at all before Russell knew Jules was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, and proposed by a lake in France.  Jules had always wanted a winter wedding and loved the cosiness and candlelight that a celebration at this time of year is all about. In the end it turned out more perfect than she could have imagined as as soon as we arrived at the Bluebird Restaurant in Chelsea, the snow began to fall and in a few hours London was covered in a blanket of white.

The couple had already seen & loved my black and white photography and we decided to capture much of their day in using black and white film for that timeless yet nostalgic look we both love so much. This works so well for winter weddings. After a ceremony at Chelsea Old Church (where Jules was christened as a baby) it was along the embankment for some relaxed portraits and then after a short drinks reception off to the Bluebird Chelsea for the merriment to begin. And it was a really fun & lively wedding! Music from a 1920’s/30’s jazz trio and the stunning vast warehouse like backdrop of the Bluebird provided a canvas for all sorts of merriment, joy and laughter.

To be the photographer for a wedding at the Bluebird was wonderful, I so enjoyed it….with memories of eating at the restaurant years ago, it was so great to see it come alive as a wedding venue and it really came into it’s own. But it is of course the people that make the party and Jules & Russell & all their family & friends were the ones that really lifted the joy & excitement to the rafters. Congratulations Mr & Mrs T….here’s to many years of fun & joy together!
