Vintage London Wedding / Sophie & Barney

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

I almost don’t want to write anything, I love these images so so much. Sophie and Barney found me through the gorgeous Rock n Roll Bride site and this was certainly a London Rock n Roll Wedding. After checking out Sophie’s website and then meeting them both, I pitched the idea to incorporate some quirky animal masks that I have had waiting for just the right wedding. Amy went to their very cool flat to cover the boys while I had a wicked time with Sophie and her six bridesmaids who all wore vintage pieces altered by Sophie. The vintage 1930s silk wedding dress originated from the Victoria and Albert museum via My Sugarland and was altered by the Queen’s seamstress. Though we were running a little late, the very kind registrar at Islington Town Hall let me take a quick shot of Sophie walking up those steps on her own to show off the amazing train. After the ceremony, we walked through the vintage and antique shops of Camden Passage down to their venue which was an old metal works in a cobbled street. Such a privilege to be involved in a wedding day like this and I hope the images do justice to it. Before you ask, the “Till Death Do Us Part” cake is from Choccywoccydoodah.

Civil Partnership Brighton / Matt & Leon Stanmer House

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Leon and Matt chose to get married on the anniversary of when they met and they certainly made it a memorable day for all of those involved. Clare started the wedding photography at their house where Matt was getting ready with four bridesmaids and three flowergirls, while I went to MyHotel in Brighton to cover Leon with four more bridesmaids, another flowergirl and the ring bearer, Dylan. They all squeezed into a stretch Hummer for the short journey out to Stanmer House for the candlelit ceremony, conducted by the lovely Mr Love. It was one of the most beautiful ceremonies I have seen, thanks to some gorgeous singing and the emotional vows that Matt and Leon made. New girl Amy even shed a little tear, so she will need to toughen up! After photos and drinks in the grounds, it was time for everyone to leave Stanmer for the party at MyHotel and the boys know how to make an exit. They had arranged for a helicopter to land on the lawn and whisk them away. There was a dramatic colour theme of black and red which looked fantastic on all those bridesmaids and we had a lot of fun doing the wedding photography. We made use of the penthouse suite for some portraits which had to be worked around the 300 year old carousel horse that is in the middle of the room.

The suits and accessories were from classic Brighton tailor Hugo Morris. The choccywoccydoodah cake was about four foot high and completely over the top. It was quite a manic Monday but really great fun.
