{Katie & Jason}


Colourful and lively outdoor Jewish Wedding

Our first experience of a Jewish wedding and I don't think we could have hoped for anything better! Katie and Jay were so lovely and throughout the entire wedding we were made to feel like members of the party. 

The feel was so relaxed and happy all day, and all the celebrations took place in a big field with stunning country views at North Hill Farm, Chorleywood just outside London. Something we hadn't realised before photographing this wedding was all the traditions that take place at a Jewish wedding, a lot of them are visually quite different so we particularly enjoyed this aspect of the photography. The ceremony took place outside in the sunshine, under the 'Chuppah' which represents the home that the couple will build together. It is open on four sides to show that visitors are always welcome, and both sets of parents will join them under the chuppah to show the union of two families.

Colour was a huge focus in the wedding and the way that Katie and Jay had used it throughout the decoration of the venue was really effective. The 5 bridesmaids all wore different bright coloured dresses and their bouquets of flowers to match. These colours were also tied together with metres and metres of beautiful bunting all around the marquee and paper poms hung from the ceiling which always look so sweet.

Really enjoyed our first experience of a Jewish wedding, hopefully it won't be our last! 
Mazel Tov Katie & Jason!

Striking Movie Themed East London Wedding


Jo and Beau were such a cool couple to spend time with, and we really enjoyed our various get togethers prior to their wedding, scoping out some great spots in East London for couple portraits on the day. They really embraced the creative, fun shots which we loved - we had a few giggles whilst invading little vintage boutiques and even a cinema in Shoreditch to get some awesome couple shots!

The striking red and charcoal colours were set off to perfection with all the great little touches - red balloons, red socks and one hard to miss, Jo's gorgeous sparkly red Jimmy Choos (very Wizard of Oz!) They incorporated a movie theme into the reception at the Honorary Artillery Company (HAC) in Clerkenwell with popcorn favours and favourite movie quotes which identified the tables. 

With the cinematic theme and the striking backdrops, this wedding was a gift to photograph. Thank you Jo and Beau for letting us be part of your amazing day!

{Lauren & Barry} Intimate & Pretty Floral Waterside Wedding



The dramatic british weather had us holding our breath for the outdoor ceremony on Lauren & Barry's wedding day in August 2012, but as if by magic the sky cleared just before the wedding and gave us sunshine for most of the afternoon, topped with a gorgeous golden evening. The venue was the lovely 16th century pub- The Ferry House Inn on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, and it was corker! 
Ready to welcome their first born in the autumn, Lauren looked gorgeous in a flattering lace and tulle dress with pretty capped sleeves.

The day was not short on delicious decor, beautiful fleurs and possibly the most amazing victoria sponge wedding cake I've ever seen! We hope you enjoy this selection from this lovely wedding as much as we enjoyed being part of it.
