ELEGANT KENT WEDDING, CAMDEN PLACE - AMY AND MATT

You might remember Amy and Matt from their pre-wedding photoshoot - such a beautiful and kind couple, who have a gorgeous little girl, easy-going and fun to be around. I was really looking forward to photographing their wedding. I knew Amy would look stunning, and it would be a great celebration of their marriage with many friends and family. Amy and Matt tied the knot on 23rd of September in Chislehurst, Kent, and it was such a perfect day! The sun was shining for them, and we got to take some portraits during the sunset (my favourite light ever - so soft and glowing). Their wedding was vintage inspired, and very elegant. Amy put so much effort into making everything look pretty. 

Amy was getting ready at their home, together with her mum and bridesmaids. It was a fun morning filled with giggles! Matt surprised her with a Wedding box, full of special goodies like a lucky sixpence coin, beautiful earrings, and a triple photoframe with pictures of them as babies at the same age as their little girl - perfect gift. 

Amy and Matt, thank you so much for having me on your big day! Wishing you and your family every bit of happiness and lots of exciting things in this new chapter of your life! Lots of love xxx

SOUTHBANK PRE-WEDDING PHOTOS - NATASJA AND GRANT

Hi there! Today finds me blogging from a different part of the world. I'm home in Russia with my parents and brother. We haven't got together like this in over a year, so we are having great time! It feels so good to be home after so long. Things feel weird, cause I'm not used to them any more, but it still feels good. Yesterday, when I came in through the front door, I immediately felt the smell of home. Like, not just the smell of the house, but the smell of my parent's place - the place where I grew up. All four of us sat down for dinner and some wine, and we were just talking and laughing at silly things. I looked through old family and school photoalbums, which I absolutely LOVE, and which reminded me that I shall start making our own photoalbums with hubby. They've also reminded me why I love photography and photographs so much - I had nothing but a smile on my face, and it made me so happy to remember some days and things that I could have otherwise forgotten. I noticed that I always liked to photograph other people, from the first camera I was given. I was looking through my old school photos and was wondering where all these people are now, who are they as personalities, what do they do, what makes their live. I shall bring these photographs for a 10th graduation anniversary :-)

Also, I would like to share the pre-wedding photos of Natasja and Grant, who got married last Saturday in London! Their wedding was truly international with friends and family coming from all over the world. It was very personal to them, and even I got emotional on several occasions)) Natasja and Grant decided to have their pre-wedding shoot on Southbank, where they went for their first date. It was a gorgeous warm Indian Summer day, and the light was very pretty. Natasja and Grant were such a pleasure to photograph. They are so in love and they belong together...

Huge congratulations to Natasja and Grant! Hope you guys are enjoying your honeymoon! xxx

DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, BORDEAUX, FRANCE

I've been absent from blogging and generally the web for the last couple of days. The reason being - I was shooting a beautiful and quite eclectic vineyard wedding in Bordeaux, France! I'm not going to say much at the moment, apart from mentioning that it was such an amazing day! The setting was perfect, the sun was shining, the guests were happy and ready to party! Jasmine and Adrian and their families were so welcoming, and their whole wedding was just heartfelt and full of happiness! I can't wait to start working on their wedding photos! As always the full post is coming to my blog in a few weeks)) In the mean time I'm jetting off to visit my family and friends who I haven't seen for over a year! I'm really excited and can't wait to give them a hug! I might not be blogging in the next two weeks, or I might ;-). For now, here is a sneak preview of this beautiful Bordeaux wedding:
