VINTAGE INSPIRED WEDDING - ANNA AND PAVLO

Gosh, where do I begin with this beautiful wedding?! I first met Anna and Pav back in April for their pre-wedding photoshoot . I think we clicked straight away, and had a laugh walking around London for photos. So, when I met Anna again in the morning of their wedding - it was like meeting a friend. Anna and Pav live in Dubai and they've planned the whole wedding from there, with help of their friends and family. They did a amazing job putting all the details together. Everything looked so pretty and elegant. I loved Anna's style, and the vintage inspired details and feel to the day.
Morning preparations were very intimate. Anna was getting ready in the hotel together with her mum and two bridesmaids. I knew she would look stunning when I saw Temperley Long Jean dress in the room. Her look was completed by a beautiful Kat Swank headdress. Anna was wearing handmade shoes (Shoes of Prey), which she designed herself.


Boys were getting ready as well... to go to the pub :)


Anna and Pav decided to do the First Look and see each other before the ceremony. I never photographed the First Look before, so needless to say I was very excited! I wish more couples did that! It was very intimate, with just the two of them (I was photographing from a distance). Later they both said it made them feel less nervous and more relaxed for the ceremony. After the First Look we had some time for portraits:


On our way back we saw a rabbit. Random, but he was cute too cute not to include him in the photos!


Details, details...


Speeches were too funny! I think I was photographing through tears of laughter... Very personal and coming from the heart


First dance was beautifully choreographed, and everyone joined the couple on the dance floor after. Anna had a quick change into Monsoon dress for the evening


Anna and Pav, it was a brilliant and beautiful day! Thank you so much for having me photograph it! Hope you are enjoying your honeymoon! ;-)

BUTLEY PRIORY, COUNTRY FETE WEDDING - PREVIEW

Time for the preview of the second wedding from last weekend! Nicola and Jon got married in Butley Priory in Suffolk. It was a beautiful and emotional day, and they both put so much of themselves into the wedding to make it personal. It was perfect! Speeches had everyone in stitches, including me! Nicola looked stunning in her dress. Her Grandma was there to give her pearls she was wearing for her wedding... 
Anyway, here is a little teaser, more to come in a few weeks!

ROMANTIC RICHMOND PRE-WEDDING SHOOT - TRACY AND COLM

All my couples are very special to me, but Tracy and Colm are just that little bit extra... Tracy lives in Canada, and Colm lives in London. They have to spend a long time apart from each other, until they can be together again at their wedding in Dublin in December. It was something Michael and I went through a couple of years ago, before we got married. The hardest thing was not seeing one another for five months after the wedding. It's very hard to describe. Phone conversations weren't cutting it... We just wanted to hold each other. Simple things like having breakfast together, doing food shopping and watching TV seemed like a dream! But we've gone through it, and because of that time we love each other more than anything. I'm wishing the same for Tracy and Colm. Guys, you'll be together again very soon! Time will fly! I'm looking forward to seeing you both again on your wedding day!
Below is the selection of images from their pre-wedding photoshoot in Richmond, London:


So cute together:



And then he gave her flowers as a sign of his love... Errrrm, nope! Conkers (chestnuts) are way cooler! :)
