The pre-wedding Friday night black tie evening for Paul and Laura ahead of their wedding at Huntsham Court the following day. A beautiful sunset followed by a lavish banquet all carefully thought out in it's display. Amazing flowers throughout this wedding and personalised details created by the couple.
The most stylish and glamorous wedding of my career and yet one of the most relaxed and informal of days too with the backdrop of the jaw dropping Lismore Castle in Ireland.
It was a wonderful treat to have the opportunity to return to the magical Chateau de la Bourdaisiere for Marlie and Kevin's multi national outdoor garden ceremony in France. And my favourite floral designs yet.
Having worked with Leo for many years professionally when she asked me to cover her English Country Garden wedding at her grandmother's last home in Somerset I was thrilled! Pretty and summery with a touch of Scotland with a ceilidh as a nod to Doug's heritage.
After 2 years in Glasgow and frequent trips up there since I was 18, Scotland holds a special place in my heart and I jump at every opportunity to work up there. This was a castle wedding near Edinburgh in late summer - absolutely freezing but clear and crisp.
A grand ceremony at the impressive Warwick Church followed by a rather blustery departure to Olivia's family home where her sister was married only a couple of years ago. A fusion of English, South American and a few drinking games thrown in and a rather impressive first dance. Oh, and Olivia MADE her own dress!
Langley Park has only recently opened up as a wedding venue with Michael and Fliss being one of the first couples to get married on the gorgeous estate in the Cotswolds. The estate has it's own cute little church so just a short walk from the main house for the ceremony although they chose to race off for a quick spin after the ceremony to ensure a proper arrival to their reception.
A Tuscany garden wedding surrounded by vineyards for two absolutely special people. Even a brief spell of rain couldn't dampen the spirits. An outdoor ceremony followed by drinks reception on the lawn and then a traditional Tuscan menu served around the pool.
The picture perfect setting for this ceremony was a private beach club, part of Finca Cortesin near Estepona in Spain. Clear skies, palm trees, bridesmaids in pink and Spanish canapés round the pool. Perfection.
Charlie and Chloe met when they were just 13 years old. Growing up together meant there was a strong bond between all friends and family and the atmosphere throughout the day was fantastic. I do love a Papakata wedding too - the marquee florals were divine and Chloe's bouquet was made up of flowers from her father's garden.
A colourful central London Nigerian wedding at the very grand St Bartholemew the Great church followed by a music and dance filled reception at Plaisterers Hall
A beautiful and natural forest summer wedding in Sopot, Poland for London based Kaya and Simon. A scorching hot day and a ceremony under the shade of the woodlands.
A very English wedding at the grand Danesfield House Hotel in Buckinghamshire with an intimate ceremony in the great hall followed by afternoon reception on the lawn.
The wedding celebrations of Marie-Isabel and Nicolas at Chateau Bourdaisiere near Nimes, France. Beautiful from start to finish with every detail so well thought out with nods to Marie-Isabel's parent's wedding. The day started with a traditional ceremony and went through to the amazing Earth Lights Boogie Band til the early hours.
This year has been amazing - full of travel, connections to amazing people, the publication of a book and some personal exploration. Here are some of the highlights.
I was very blessed to have been present and captured a very special and intimate ceremony between Nadia and Antony last year when they had their civil ceremony in Clissold Park and so I was hugely excited to have the opportunity to photograph their full wedding a year later in Stratford Upon Avon. With family connections to The Royal Shakespeare Company it seemed appropriate to hold the ceremony at The Swann Theatre. Definitely the most unusual wedding venue I have attended and all the more special for it - with a wonderful mixture of religious influences. It felt both theatrical and spiritual, solemn and entertaining.
