A warming winter wedding at The Ashes

Posted on October 11, 2011 by Claire

It’s a bit spooky: the sec­ond wed­ding in as many weeks I’ve seen from The Ashes — a wed­ding venue I hadn’t heard of before. But it’s gor­geous: as we sink into autumn this wed­ding has all the loveli­est, rich­est autumn colours and tones — like a vir­tual hot toddy in the world of wed­ding blogs.

The wed­ding day begins with this beau­ti­fully cold coun­try­side scene — this is The Ashes wed­ding venue in the heart of Stafford­shire, a grade two listed fam­ily home with con­verted barns pro­vid­ing the per­fect secluded set­ting for a pri­vate wed­ding recep­tion.  Read more…

Wedding with a touch of creativity

I LOVE this photograph - Lucy looks regal and out-of-this-world beautiful

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.  Read more…

English autumn wedding

A favourite photograph of Liz and Jon, so much in love.

A favourite pho­to­graph of Liz and Jon, so much in love.

The first engage­ment shoot I ever fea­tured on Eng­lish Wed­ding was of Liz and Jon — a Cheshire bride– and groom-to-be whose lovely pho­tos had me com­pletely hooked.

Two months have absolutely flown by, and I can now very hap­pily blog Liz and Jon’s wed­ding day for you. This cou­ple wear their hearts on their sleeves — so the pho­tos might just bring a tear to your eye. They did for me!  Read more…

Stunning red wedding

Posted on March 7, 2010 by Claire

It’s def­i­nitely time for some­thing a lit­tle bit dif­fer­ent… a real wed­ding fea­ture with a red wed­ding dress any­one? Oh, yes please — this is absolutely gorgeous.

red maggie sottero wedding dress

Gemma’s red wed­ding dress is by Mag­gie Sot­tero — it’s stunning.

The wed­ding dress is Fiorenza, by Mag­gie Sot­tero. Fiorenza is a rich scar­let gown, with soft ruch­ing at the side and fab­ric flow­ers scat­tered around the A line skirt, catch­ing up the fab­ric in a fab­u­lous tum­ble of lux­ury. In each clus­ter of flow­ers is a lit­tle spray of beads and Swarovski crys­tals. I believe with all my heart that if you’re get­ting mar­ried, you really should wear this dress… like Gemma did…  Read more…

Bride and groom

Les­ley and Amir are a stun­ning cou­ple — and their wed­ding pho­tos are a treat!

I was in the mood for some­thing bright and cheer­ful when I found this wed­ding on Andi Goodman’s wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy site — and it’s just a feast of colours and tex­tures — a stun­ner! Not only that, the bride and groom are so very gor­geous, I had to fea­ture this! Enjoy…

Andi was at the venue early in the morn­ing to see this gor­geous sun­rise on the day of Amir and Lesley’s wed­ding. A great start to what turns out to be a beau­ti­ful Octo­ber day.  Read more…
