Vintage Quirky Italian Wedding / Lindsey & Adriano

Monday, September 13th, 2010

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.

Pretty Sussex Vintage Wedding / Naomi & Christian

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Last Friday, a glorious day, was Naomi and Christian’s wedding day at the stunning Sussex venue of Buxted Park. The fabulous photographer Anna-Marie Stepney covered the boys getting ready, while I went to the bride’s room to cover Naomi getting ready with her lovely bridesmaids. When I saw her beautiful Pronovias lace gown, I thought it would look amazing with some light behind it rather than just hanging on the back of a door. The windows in the Elizabeth Browning suite are about 12ft high but the ever helpful Marc provided a very tall stepladder and even hung it for us. Naomi is a natural beauty and looked amazing considering she hadn’t managed to sleep the night before. For their portraits, we went back to the car park walls, which I am loving right now but also to a gorgeous country lane for a softer backdrop. The whole event was beautifully styled by Jennifer Sue Weddings with a vintage tea party theme and there were lots of gorgeous little touches everywhere. The flowers were by the very talented Nicola at Florian who hadn’t been at Buxted since her own wedding that I shot back in March.

Vintage Wedding Sussex/ new photography service launching soon

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

vintageteacupvintage-birdcageHere is a preview of some images from our Vintage Wedding Photography portfolio which will be going onto the redesigned site soon. Clients will be able to have this option on their images for either a Queensberry album or The PhotoBook. We love the vintage influence in wedding styling and wedding dresses and wanted to reflect this trend in our wedding photography. So the colour images have a slightly faded over-saturated look with creamy skin tones, whereas the black and white photos have a slightly retro warm tone. So if you are planning to have vintage tea sets, vintage candelabras, a revamped vintage dress or jewellery, retro bunting or an English garden party style wedding, then you will love this style of photography.

To help you plan here are some invaluable contacts from our little black book.vintage-teapot

To hire vintage bird cages and candelabras, plus gorgeous old fashioned rose covered jugs speak to Dex at Pollen Hire.

For show stopping flowers with a vintage feel contact Donal at Pollen flowers. Even if you are on a tight budget and are planning some DIY floral pieces, they have various useful things for hire.

To hire or commission fabulous bunting for a lovely country wedding, we recommend Beautiful Bunting in Sussex.

For vintage inspired couture bridal gowns, we love Joanne Fleming in Brighton. Her unique dresses remind me of 1930′s Hollywood glamour with a contemporary edge.

Finally, if you love the look but don’t know where to start, wedding stylist Jennifer Oliver has a great sense of design and access to all sorts of lovely vintage wedding items.
