Wes & Gemma: Rainy British DIY Wedding at Quinton House

Cat Lane

13 January 2016

weddings

Wes & Gemma’s wedding day took place at Quinton House, a stunning private school which turns into a wedding venue in the summer, decorated from top to bottom in beautiful, colourful DIY elements that really made the venue their own. I believe the bride’s family even made the bouquets and buttonholes!

It rained on their wedding day from start to finish, and even though the bride and groom had planned lawn games, Pimms and scones in the garden as part of their celebrations, they didn’t let the weather dampen their spirits and everybody had a wonderful time (including Wes & Gemma even offering to pop outside with umbrellas for portraits in the rain - you guys are awesome!)

We are so thrilled to have Wes & Gemma's day featured in Whimsical Wonderland Weddings HERE. A big honour and a wonderful way to start off our 2016 season!

"Thank you so so much for being fantastic on the day, we thought you guys were brilliant. Any of our friends getting married will have you both highly recommended! The extra pictures just go to show how caring and thoughtful you guys are. Things like that make my day." - Wes & Gemma

Alex & Steve: Modern Rustic Wedding at Dodmoor House, Northamptonshire

Alex & Steve’s wedding day was a beautifully styled affair, featuring a natural colour palette of greens, dusty pinks and cream, reflected in Alex’s stunning Pronovias wedding dress, her bridesmaids outfits and the unique, relaxed flowers by our favourite lady The Basement Florist which decorated their venue from top to bottom.

Alex and her family worked on DIY decorations on the run up to the day, including popcorn favours for every guest, handmade confetti cones and strings of photos from their lives together to give their day that wonderful personal touch and really make the venue their own.

Congratulations Alex & Steve, it was a true honour to photograph your day and we wish you every happiness for the future!

Nic & Wilf: Outdoor North Hill Farm Tipi Wedding

Cat Lane

30 November 2015

weddings

One of the things that makes a great wedding day is when a couple create a day that is completely true to themselves, and this is exactly what Nic and Wilf achieved with their gorgeous day.

They held their relaxed, sunny wedding day at North Hill Farm, planned in just 5 months or so! For their personal woodland ceremony, they walked down the aisle to a friend playing the ukulele, with guests and loved ones sat on hay bale pews as they said their vows with the sun shining through the trees.

Their vintage-themed tipi wedding reception featured garden games, sack races, a caravan photo booth and an ice cream van, and it was non-stop fun for everybody involved, with a real focus on creating a relaxed, summer feel to the celebrations. For their wedding breakfast, everybody shared afternoon tea with almost limitless amounts of Victoria sponge! They topped off the night by opting for a ceilidh band instead of a traditional first dance, with everybody joining in and dancing the night away, with a bonfire nearby and hog roast fighting off the September evening chill.

We are so thrilled to say that their day has been featured HERE on the incredible wedding blog Mr & Mrs Unique - a real highlight to end our 2015 wedding season on!

Thank you so much Nic & Wilf for asking us to photograph your day - it was wonderful from start to finish and a real privilege to capture.

Laurie & Simon: Lansdowne Club Mayfair Wedding

There were no words for quite how excited we were to photograph Laurie & Simon's London wedding in September! We love it when couples become friends during the wedding planning process and that personal connection tied with the stunning setting of the Lansdowne Club in Mayfair told us it was going to be an amazing day.

The Lansdowne Club made the perfect setting for their day. Each room is incredible in its own way and the Drawing Room in which they held their ceremony was no exception. Laurie's gorgeous Cymbeline dress was a wonderful vintage find, and with her classic updo and vintage peachy bouquet she looked absolutely beautiful.

Congratulations Laurie & Simon! And thank you so much for asking us to photograph your beautiful day. It was an honour and a privilege to be there.

Jenny & Dan: Vibrant Humanist Barn Wedding at Barford Park

10 November 2015

I have to start this post with a huge thank you to Elly Lucas, who ever so kindly asked me to second shoot this beautiful wedding with her. It's always such a joy to shoot with her!

From the moment we arrived at Barford Park, there were vibrant colours everywhere you looked, from the colourful fabric and fairy lights that draped the barn, to the beautiful wild flowers and amazing yellow Citroen 2CV that the bride arrived in! Jenny looked incredible in her unique backless Laure de Sagazan dress with her hair studded in blue and purple flowers.

Their heartfelt humanist ceremony was held under two huge drapes of rainbow-coloured fabric, with a ribbon-filled tree at the end of the aisle. One of my favourite touches of the entire day had to be their ceremony featuring everybody singing "It Must Be Love", with brass instrument accompaniment by the bride's brother and father. A truly lovely idea.

Thank you Elly for asking me to help out on this wonderful wedding day. And a huge congratulations to Jenny & Dan - I wish you every happiness for the future!
