Belinda McCarthy is a bit of a famous name for wed­ding blog­gers, I think… one of those lovely, gen­er­ous peo­ple who reads and leaves the most charm­ing com­ments on so many blog posts — and I’m delighted to wel­come her as a new spon­sor of Eng­lish Wed­ding Blog.

Som­er­set Wed­ding Photography

Belinda has her very own ded­i­cated Eng­lish Wed­ding Show­case Page where she’s writ­ten a lit­tle intro­duc­tion to her busi­ness — along with more gor­geous pho­tos from weddings.

Belinda told me, “Wed­dings are such an amaz­ing plat­form of emo­tions, drama, excep­tional moments and true ten­der­ness, that they’re a priv­i­lege to work on.”  Read more…

New sponsor welcome… it’s Miss Delicious

unique wedding stationery by Bunny Delicious (4)

I have pet names for only a very select few wed­ding sta­tion­ers. Zoe from Bunny Deli­cious just hap­pens to be top of my list, and in more ways than one. I can’t remem­ber quite where ‘Miss Deli­cious’ came from, but I like the sauci­ness of it… and it makes me smile when­ever I see a Bunny Deli­cious design! I’ve known Zoe via the mir­a­cles of our mod­ern inter­web for years — and I’ve watched her cre­ativ­ity with grow­ing delight.

New sponsor welcome: Tux and Tales

Posted on August 20, 2011 by Claire

I’m very happy to wel­come my lat­est spon­sor to Eng­lish Wed­ding. Tux and Tales are wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phers Jaye and Matt. I’ve had a few lovely email chats with lead pho­tog­ra­pher Jaye and I can vouch for how lovely she is: she gig­gles at the same things I do. Which is always a bonus!

Love is in the air… real wedding part two

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Claire

part one of toby and adela's wedding day by Martin Beddall photographerThere is love in every one of these beau­ti­ful wed­ding pho­tographs from Toby and Adela’s wed­ding day. Of course the bride and groom pos­i­tively shine with it — they have a sparkling con­nec­tion you sim­ply can’t miss!

The wed­ding guests share the same joy­ful emo­tions: look care­fully at the pho­tographs in this blog fea­ture by doc­u­men­tary wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Mar­tin Bed­dall — the lit­tle glances just cap­tured, the warm smiles and roman­tic looks — this wed­ding day just sings with romance and love.

In the pipelines… the English Wedding Showcase!

Posted on March 2, 2011 by Claire

This week I’ve popped my Bob the Builder hat on and am doing some con­struc­tion work. Kinda… well to be hon­est it’s the web-building kind of con­struc­tion work. Still counts!

Build­ing a new area for the Eng­lish Wed­ding blog

Wed­ding blogs in the UK are grow­ing in num­ber, in size and in pop­u­lar­ity. The top blogs eas­ily rival wed­ding mag­a­zines for read­er­ship, loy­alty and qual­ity of content.

More and more brides and grooms are switch­ing on to wed­ding blogs as a new source of inspi­ra­tion and some­where to find alter­na­tive ideas for more per­son­alised wed­dings.  Read more…

Beau­ti­ful Cheshire bride and groom by Chris Han­ley Photography

Chris Han­ley is  in my top three favourite wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phers and has sub­mit­ted sev­eral wed­dings to fea­ture on Eng­lish Wed­ding. He’s one of the UK’s very best, and a lovely guy too.

Chris Hanley’s pho­tog­ra­phy is instantly recog­nis­able for its fash­ion shoot appeal, for the bold light­ing and glam­orous set­tings he finds, with­out fail, on every wed­ding shoot.

He’s based (down the road from my house) a few miles out­side of Man­ches­ter and within call­ing dis­tance of the Cheshire set. Chris shoots wed­dings all over the UK.  Read more…
