Buxted Park Wedding / Christa & Ross

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Christa and Ross had their wedding at the glorious venue of Buxted park in Sussex last Saturday and at last the sun decided to shine. Christa looked incredibly beautiful and was quite comfortable being photographed. She was also ready really early which meant we had time to think about her pre-wedding portraits and have some fun with her two girlfriends, Nicky and Emily. Christa put quite a lot of input into where the images were taken all day and I love being able to find something new in a venue that I have been to quite often. I love the portraits in the field of sheep as they are so rural but my favourites are by the brick wall which I have never used before as it is in the car park. This was a very elegant wedding but still lots of fun.

Vintage Photo Booth Sussex

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Things are very crazy and busy at Devlin Towers so we are a little behind in blogging. I do want to share these images from the Photo Booth at Stuart and Lauri’s gorgeous vintage wedding in Lewes in Sussex. The kids in particular had a great time with our dressing up box. We are quite happy to include the Photo Booth at any wedding with evening coverage and it can be a great source of amusement for the guests.

Engagement Photography Cambridge / Quynh & Hai Part 2

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

For the second part of their story, we travelled to Cambridge where Quynh and Hai had been students. As I had never been, it was up to them to pick the locations but it is such a gorgeous place that it was easy. After the sleek, urban and rather sexy London engagement shoot, they wanted to express their softer side and for the photos to have a vintage look. We simply walked around the infamous colleges which are so peaceful and beautiful, it is hard to believe they are in the middle of a city. We couldn’t not have a punt up the river but luckily Hai is very experienced and we all kept dry!

London Engagement Photography / Quynh & Hai

Friday, August 20th, 2010

This is the first part of Quynh and Hai’s engagement story. They are getting married in Vietnam in November with 700 guests over two days which sounds intense. They in London and wanted to use it as a location without being very obvious. Of course around rush hour in the capital, everywhere was pretty crowed but the very kind workmen let us onto the side of Tower Bridge that is closed so we had it all to ourselves. Despite the weather looking a little bit dubious the sun did come out in time for some romance in front of the Houses of Parliament and then we skipped off to Bond Street and found a lovely peaceful garden and this great warehouse door. I love the contrast in its colour against Quynh’s dress. I am looking forward to shooting the second part in Cambridge.

Country Vintage Wedding / Nina & Patrick

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Want a vintage style, shabby chic wedding in the English Countryside? Then you need a lovely Aunt and Uncle like Nina’s who own a beautiful sprawling manor house with plenty of room for a marquee and some quirky ramshackle outbuildings. As Nina and Patrick live in Germany, they left most of their wedding planning to the fabulous Savoir Weddings who also did an amazing job decorating the venue. Our approach to Bramble Park was slightly hairy as we encountered a vintage motorbike rally in a country lane. Once there, things were looking pretty magical as the Marquee was filled with country flowers in old bottles, floral lampshades and vintage lace tablecloths. The ceremony was over at the Archbishop’s palace in Maidstone and we stopped off on the way back in a stunning poppy field with a great view of the Kent countryside. We also had fun in the grounds, which provided an amazing backdrop for the photography. Afternoon tea was followed by an acoustic set by the Groom’s Dad who had fronted sixties band The Flowerpot Men. It was a great wedding and Nina and Patrick who are childhood sweethearts, made us very welcome.
