Amelia & Allan – A Berkshire Wedding

February 19, 2013

“Oh my god is it inappropriate for me to say I love you? We love it so much it is just perfect, actually better than perfect but I don’t know the word. Thank you so much we will undoubtedly cherish it forever – along with the candle that I’ll never let anyone light and the biscuit I’ll never let anyone eat, how utterly exquisite. If you were a super hero you’d have to be Wonder Woman”

Lots of newlywed love,

A & A

Family are at the heart of Amelia & Allan’s relationship and their wedding actually took place at the family home in Berkshire. Passed down from Amelia’s grandparents, and then to her parents, Amelia had happy memories of growing up at the house. See the first picture above of the couple kissing under a big tree? That is the same spot that Amelia’s parents, Hilary & Ted, had their own wedding photos taken many years ago. It’s not just a tree, in fact you could say it’s the family’s ‘wedding tree’!

From a brief encounter at a cashpoint, a chat turned into a few drinks, and a few drinks into a date, a date into a relationship, and a relationship into a family. Right from the outset both Amelia and Allan knew that this was something really special, and marriage was on the cards.It wasn’t long before they had a sweet & beautiful daughter, Eva, who was joined shortly after by Theo, their cheeky little son. With family values at the core of their relationship, it was only fitting that after a ceremony at the local church, Amelia & Allan should celebrate at home. Amelia enlisted the expertise of Kim at The Pink Pumpkin to help her create a green, white & pale pink garden theme wedding, themed around the beautiful garden setting.

Amelia & Allan: you are two of the most laidback people I have met, and it was a joy to capture your marriage and celebrations. May your sweet family continue growing together over the years to come. Much love xxx

Kim & Chara – Wedding Photography at 45 Millbank, London

December 1, 2011

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!”

Kim’s Dream Team included : Hair by Severin Hubert, Make up by Mariam Jensen, Ceremony at Islington Town Hall, Reception at 45 Millbank, Dress custom adapted from Novia d’Art by her talented sister at Mamfii Bridal who also meticulously glued hundred of tiny crystals onto the bride’s black shoes, Flowers by Cindy Kirkland at Creative Works; Food by Kalm Kitchen, Photobooth by Say Fromage, Cake by Kim’s Mum, Cupcakes from Hummingbird Bakery, Band Andalus, DJ Mitch Matthews, Bar by Bars by Design. Wedding Reporting by Emma The Wedding Reporter (look closely and you’ll spot her in the background in a couple of shots with her little notebook!)

Thank you to Catherine Mead for second shooting (photographs of the boys before the ceremony above), and to Vicky for assisting.
