A weekend off… at a wedding!

This Saturday I was a bridesmaid at the wedding of our good friends Olivia & Chris.  In order to fully focus on my bridesmaid role (ie holding the bouquet, drinking champagne…) we left the official photographs in the hands of Caroline White (who also took our wedding pictures – as we get asked very frequently!).

That’s not to say that we didn’t sneak in a few pictures here and there!

Here’s me and the bride in the morning

Sujatha & Family

Last week we hung out with Sujatha & her family for a few relaxed family portraits.  Such a lovely family, they suffered through the sweltering heat and never failed to look happy!

You may remember a few of the models from a few weeks ago when we had an extremely rainy portrait session!

Nicola & Jamie

We spent yesterday photographing Nicola and Jamie’s awesome wedding.  They are an adorable couple and their wedding was full of personal touches.  They also knew exactly how they wanted their big day to be – relaxed!  There was a wonderful jovial atmosphere, and because they didn’t want any ‘formal’ pictures we were free to try and capture it!

 

Nicola’s dress was fabulous (and so heavy it broke the hanger!)

Wedding Ideas Magazine

One of our weddings has been featured in Wedding Ideas magazine, and we are over the moon!  Emma and Chris are not only gorgeous but their wedding was beautiful too, so it came as no surprise that they were chosen for the ‘Real Weddings’ section.

 

We are especially pleased as we even got a little picture on the cover (the buttonhole!), as well as Emma & Chris being the first couple in the section.

Joanne & Richard

Joanne and Richard had been dreaming of this day for a long time, and clearly couldn’t wait to be Mr & Mrs.  Everything ran smoothly; the rain stayed away, and the lovely priest let me sit in an amazing position for the ceremony.  Saturday was also my birthday and it was great to spend it with such lovely people!

 

I fell in love with these shoes…
