Tuesday. Lunchtime. March sunshine streaming through Islington Town Hall’s windows. While people on their lunch break eat sat on the benches outside, the wedding guests arrive first, followed by the bride and groom, and their little dog wearing a black tulle ruff. The ceremony relaxed and was emotional, plenty of tissues required, with family, friends,…
I love my visits to Bury St Edmunds, from glamorous big church weddings (with a very long walk down the second-longest parish church aisle) to small, sweet and stylish micro-weddings in the register office. This August day was the latter—a glorious summer day in this historic Suffolk town. Chelsea and her parents arrived full of…
This is part two of my posts about Victoria and George’s Norfolk wedding. The first part is linked just below. A couple of days before the wedding, a pre-wedding drinks reception was held as a warm-up for the main event.With views like these over Stourton Water, you might as well make the most of this…
A couple of days before the wedding, a drinks reception was held on the banks of Stourton Water in Cawston. I was greeted with the most wonderful summer evening views over the water, while guests enjoyed drinks, canapés, and Jonny Kerry’s French musette accordion music. Later on, there was entertainment from the waiting staff, who…
Alyssa and Jack planned their wedding day keeping in mind what they would most like to do with their friends and family for just one day. It was so much fun! They chose a unique venue with personal meaning: The Boileroom music venue in Guildford, where they had attended many gigs together over the years….
It was a rainy day on the Isle of Sheppey for this wonderful waterside wedding at The Ferry House, a venue I’ve always wanted to visit for the views and incredible food. Their 1.5 acres of kitchen garden, supplies their restaurant… a quote from their website ‘Plot to Plate’ sums it up.In the new Garden…
I was warmly greeted by Charlotte, the manager responsible for ensuring a seamless wedding day at The Jockey Club Rooms in Newmarket. While I’m no stranger to Suffolk weddings (in fact this year I have been in Suffolk and Norfolk more often than my home county of Essex), this was my first visit to such…
We had the most perfect weather for a wedding at High House in Althorne in May. It was not too hot, with beautiful spring sunshine for Chloe and James’ outdoor ceremony under the gazebo in the grounds. Their little boy, family, and friends looked on as they took their vows. A table dash to Stardust’s…
An early start marked Joanna and Catherine’s wedding day in Suffolk, in the warm glow of a beautiful September sun. As I moved between both brides, capturing moments of preparation, the morning unfolded with makeup, hair styling, breakfast, and last-minute adjustments. Jojo even brought out the sewing machine to craft extra beanbags for the lawn…
Katie spent her wedding morning getting ready in her family home, surrounded by her friends and family, while Gary and the groom’s party prepared for the wedding at The Royal Horseguards Hotel, just next door to the National Liberal Club, the venue for Katie and Gary’s wedding day. Such a beautiful location for their celebrations,…
A beautiful July wedding day for Grace and Ed. I expect there was a lot of work preparing the grounds for the garden marquee wedding reception, but in the morning, it was calm and relaxed as Grace got ready with her friends and family. Her brother James proudly walked his sister down the aisle of…
I recall watching Cat, whom I have encountered at many weddings over the years, dancing with Charles at the wedding of Sass and Chris. I noticed how they looked at each other, and I thought to myself, ‘I am going to hear from Cat soon.’ Three weeks later, I received an email: Cat and Charles…
Alpheton Hall Barns, despite having so much history, is also a venue where every couple that gets married there can make their own mark. The freedom to create a wedding day that reflects who they are and how they want to celebrate is a unique aspect. Jenny and Louis truly made the most of it….
You know that internet meme saying ‘find someone who looks at you like…’? Well, this popped into my head when I saw Natalie and Philip on their wedding day. They only had eyes for each other, as you can see in my photographs of their day. We all squeezed into the Rayleigh Windmill for the…
