A Jewish wedding and a cruise down the Thames
Reportage wedding photographer Mark Carey has shared some lovely weddings with us recently, and Becky and Joel’s day is one of his best: the atmosphere of this wedding really comes across in the pictures. From the excited chaos of the bridal preparations to the solemnity and grace of the orthodox Jewish ceremony and then onto the boat trip down the Thames… it’s a really memorable, individual and fun way to celebrate a marriage.
Jerk and Jam – A vintage English country wedding with a Caribbean twist
A wedding blogger’s dream… the perfect fairytale wedding jam packed full of details and DIY, a bride who has had the most amazing time creating the perfect day. A glamorous couple, a loving family and a story which is guaranteed to make you cry.
Especially in the light of the blog post on Hindsight Bride last week, I’m already enjoying sharing this perfect fairytale wedding with you. There are tons of details. There is everything you could see in the very best wedding magazine. Because everyone is different, and for Sally and Gareth this meant a very personal wedding with bells, whistles and a cherry on top. With photos by Dwiko Arie, this really is a dream wedding day.
A rainbow wedding at Celtic Manor House Hotel
Kate and Steve’s wedding is a beautiful splash of colour: if weddings were flowers, this would be a bird of paradise — if weddings were butterflies, Kate and Steve’s day would be a peacock. If weddings were birds… oh, damn.
If weddings were rainbows…
My friend and sponsor Jenny from McAvoy Photography got in touch to share this beautiful wedding with you on the English Wedding Blog. It’s perfect: inspiring, beautiful and I love it for being an accessible wedding with gorgeous character through the colours and feelings the photos will show you.
Beautiful serenity: a real wedding in Bristol
Emma and Duncan were married in Bristol earlier in the year. Sometimes when I see a wedding for the first time I’m in quiet awe of the bride’s beauty, the atmosphere of the day and the lovely pictures. In this case wedding photographer Matt Tordoff had me almost holding my breath as I looked through the wedding photos.
I hope I can share that impression with you today: of quiet serenity, a sense of calm and pure beauty in these wonderful wedding images.
Granny Mollie’s Fish Pie and other wedding tales
I’m back with another wedding story for all you lovers of documentary wedding photography out there — brought to you by English Wedding sponsor Martin Beddall. This wedding day at Clandon Park in Surrey is simply lovely: a beautiful bride and her handsome groom marrying in an early eighteenth century manor house in the Surrey countryside.
Real wedding at Great Fosters luxury hotel
Talk about a gorgeous wedding venue… Great Fosters is a grade I listed building in Surrey, an elegantly sprawling mansion house with a history of royal and prestigious guests and residents.
William and Joanne were married in spring, just as the early blossom was beginning to come out. It was the perfect complement for their pink wedding theme.
Sugar & Spice Photography is the ‘dream job’ of photographer Juliet McKee. She’s a UK wedding bloggers’ favourite and I love how she captures the romance of a wedding day from moment to sparkling moment.
A majestic, beautiful and luxurious wedding at Brocket Hall
Such a beautiful bride, such a heavenly image — my favourite from this Brocket Hall wedding
This wedding has everything: glitz and glamour, class and style, that traditional English sophistication and quiet elegance. Amy and Charlie were married at Brocket Hall, one of England’s finest stately homes in Hertfordshire.
I love this wedding for its sheer beauty: the majestic venue and breathtaking beauty of the reception rooms, the opulent floral displays and most of all Amy’s glamour and elegance, and the way she and Charlie look at each other with eyes full of love.

Wedding with a touch of creativity
I LOVE this photograph — Lucy looks regal and out-of-this-world beautiful
Sometimes everything in life comes together and a lightbulb flickers on, don’t you think? It’s happened for me — gradually — over the past month or so. I won’t bore you with details (well, I might, but in a later post) — suffice it to say that Creativity is my newest raison d’être.
I love how weddings provide everyone with an opportunity to be creative, and that those who do have their own very individual ways of realising their creativity. Lucy and James’s wedding is a beautiful, quite normal English wedding with a little twist of creativity which makes it ever so special.
Glimpses of a Bury Court Barn wedding
Wedding photographer Robert Burress says on his blog that bride Kat “turned into Angelina Jolie before his eyes”. I can see exactly what he means!
I think you’ll love this wedding. It’s Kat & Rich’s day at Bury Court Barn in Hampshire (a venue I know very well, having painted it for a table plan last year!).
The photography is inspiring: I love the little glimpses the images give. I always think photographer Robert Burress (aka Shooting Hip) has a really special way of looking at things, and of sharing them. Anyway — have a look, see what you think!
Beautiful classic English wedding
The beautiful bride
I’m struggling for words to describe Alex & Jess’s wedding, which was sent to me by favourite wedding photographer Lisa Dawn. Why? Well, every time I scan through the pictures all I can see is how beautiful Jess is.
Talk about an English rose: Jess could be the heroine from any English period drama, with her hair beautifully curled and pinned, exquisite make up and her beautiful classic wedding dress with just enough diamond sparkle to take your breath away.
How about I stop wittering and show you the photos of Alex and Jess’s wedding day?! Enjoy…
