The very lovely Gemma and Chris choose to come down to Brighton for their first wedding anniversary and a photo shoot around the beach. Gemma had sent me some great mood boards and we set a plan to use various locations. These were of course shut on Saturday (!) so plan B. They brought some of their favourite books, magazines and a much beloved Roberts radio in bright red so I let that set the colour theme. We shot on and around the pier and then went back to their very gorgeous B&B Snooze. This quirky, laid back small hotel seemed to express their personalities and the owner was super helpful. I am thinking of treating the husband to a night at one of the very funky penthouse suites for his birthday next month but sshhhh its a secret!

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.

Apologies for the epic proportion of this post but I just adored everything about this wedding that Amy and I shot last Friday. The couple, Lindsey and Adriano are beyond cool. They are quite possibly two of the most beautiful people on the planet, she is a delicate English beauty and an amazing make-up artist and he is a sultry Italian who writes songs and is in the disco, rock band Raygun. (I might be a little bit in love with them both!) Their quirky, eclectic, vintage Italian wedding was held at the very lovely Farbridge Barn in Sussex. I knew I was going to love everything when I first saw Lindsey’s vintage wedding dress which she sourced from the States. It was handmade in the fifties from lace with beautiful details and a teeny waist. Her fabulous shoes were straight out of Alice in Wonderland and she wore her Grandma’s lace gloves. Lindsey collected everything for the wedding, including retro tins, antique books, little feather birds and kitsch salt & pepper animals. Following the rather yummy meal, the fantastic caterers, Jacaranda brought out a vintage Ice-Cream stand so everyone could put together their own sundaes. The evening entertainment was provided by the very glamorous Shellac Sisters who played retro music on gramophones and taught us all a few moves. I want to do it all again but for now, I just can’t stop looking at these images of a truly beautiful vintage wedding day.

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.
