So…. what a day! You saw the sneak peek a few weeks ago, and now here’s the full post from Kim & Chara’s beautiful London wedding at Islington Town Hall & 45 Millbank. You wouldn’t guess it was spectacular gale force winds and rains would you? The smiles and happiness glowed throughout the day against a glamorous backdrop created by Kim herself. To read more about Kim’s ideas and planning process you can visit her blog or the website of The Pink Pumpkin her wedding planning consultancy. I will just share what Kim wrote to me about he images:

“You have such an amazing talent Polly; I really have no words to describe how happy we are with our images. Every time I look at them I have tears in my eyes. All my life I have hated having my picture taken and been so self conscious of what I look like and hyper critical of myself, and was so worried that I would be the same with our wedding pictures, but I love every single one of them and how you have managed to capture the love between Chara and I and all our friends and family. I have no idea how you do it, but everyone looks amazing in all the images, and we will treasure them, and the memories they contain, for the rest of our lives. We can never thank you enough!”
