Checking the time... is it wedding o'clock? credit: Chris Hanley Photography
I have a wonderful wedding waiting in the wings. That’s how it feels, a little queue of the most amazing photographs of a luxury wedding, all ready for their turn on stage, in the limelight, on English Wedding this week. I’m excited…
…not least because Chris Hanley sent them to me! And he’s fab.
However, Chris sent lots of beautiful photographs and I couldn’t feature them all in one blog post, because it would be too long (I think he broke my record last time when I went from 20 to 30 images per post!) the problem being, they are all so damn good I can’t miss a single one. Read more...
There were so many beautiful photos from Prema and Andy’s wedding earlier this week, I had to keep a few to share as a special feature all of their own!
If you’re thinking about a very English wedding theme and need ideas to help you get the look, this will help! All photos are by Victoria Phipps Photography.
The wedding cake looks beautiful - rather than piling flowers or decorations onto the cake, choose a simple design and surround it with bouquets at your venue. A simple topper of fresh pink roses and peonies will finish it beautifully. Photo credit: Victoria Phipps Read more...
Getting Brett to the church on time... the slideshow is a must see, by wedding photographer Matt Parry
I’ve made some new friends via Twitter today, one of whom is Matt Parry. Matt is a wedding photographer based in the South of England, but travels throughout the UK, with a recent Scottish wedding on the home page of Matt’s blog as I type.
Matt has some really great wedding photos on his site which are viewable as slideshows, and he combines the images with a great soundtrack which is right up my street (and trust me, I’m fussy!) – I hope you enjoyed this one. Read more...
There’s no other way to describe this wedding day, a lovely countryside wedding celebration with pretty colours, a princess bride and tall, dark, handsome groom. Prema and Andy were married on the 14th of August in a beautiful little Cheshire village called Thornton Hough. They were married at All Saints Church, and the wedding reception was held at Andy’s parents’ house.
Photography was by Victoria Phipps. I love how she captured some of the very best moments… see Andy waiting at the altar, and the lovely photos of Prema with her dad. There are also some cheeky photos in here which made me giggle. I hope you love them too! Read more...
A bit more from my little soapbox about Getting Grounded when it comes to your wedding – I had a little think about wedding readings. I write out so many of these in my day job as a calligrapher, I have some firm favourites and some I see which don’t appeal so much to me on a personal level.
The best wedding readings for me are those which look forwards from the wedding day to the years of marriage ahead, and which have a certain depth and maturity. They’re worth a read if you’re getting bogged down in all the planning and details of your wedding day. Read more...
