Love is…

The wave of beau­ti­ful vin­tage themed wed­dings just doesn’t seem to stop — and I’m really lov­ing all the gor­geous vin­tage wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy around at the moment.

Alli­son and Jeremy had a gor­geous wed­ding day in Wales, com­plete with pink rose flower arrange­ments Alli­son had made her­self, a beau­ti­ful and unusual wed­ding venue, and a wed­ding dress and lace shrug that are out of this world!  Read more…

A very English wedding

Posted on May 23, 2010 by Claire

Sophie and Chris’s gor­geous April wed­ding is such a per­fect fit for my blog, I’m delighted to share it with you. Wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Kevin Mullins sub­mit­ted these pic­tures last month, and I hope you’ll find them truly inspir­ing as I do! Sit back and enjoy…

Sophie looks very much the Eng­lish rose (hon­estly, this wed­ding couldn’t be more per­fect for us!) She applied her own wed­ding make up and I love the romance of this pic­ture with the wed­ding veil and mirror.

What’s so special about English weddings? They’re cool.

Posted on December 13, 2009 by Claire

This is my light­bulb moment. This is why we want to see Eng­lish wed­ding pic­tures — and right now, for me, Lee Allen is a rev­e­la­tion! His style is ele­gant and very con­tem­po­rary, and this vin­tage wed­ding show­cases his recent work  so, so well. Thanks Lee for let­ting me share these amaz­ing vin­tage wed­ding photos!

Credit of course to the bride and groom: such a cool cou­ple, and bride Katie is absolutely stun­ning in her vin­tage wed­ding dress and acces­sories. The wed­ding cer­e­mony was held at Shugborough’s amaz­ing Tower of the Winds, a great choice of venue which also has that vin­tage feel­ing to it.  Read more…

Contemporary English Wedding in Henley

Posted on December 11, 2009 by Claire

The Eng­lish Wed­ding blog was launched to show­case con­tem­po­rary Eng­lish wed­dings, and I’m delighted to have this stun­ning day to share with you. Rosie Par­sons pho­tographed Derek and Shella’s wed­ding back in Octo­ber, and cap­tured a won­der­fully cre­ative mix of tra­di­tion and mod­ern styles on the day.

The wed­ding cer­e­mony was held on the river Thames, in Henley’s River and Row­ing Museum! I love the choice of venue for the wed­ding, and it goes to show you don’t have to stick with a stately home or hotel to have your wed­ding — choose a fun loca­tion to make your wed­ding really mem­o­rable.  Read more…
