Posted on October 8, 2011 by Claire

Kat is a wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher from South Africa, who spe­cialises in fun, fresh and nat­ural wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy with an artis­tic and cre­ative feel. If anyone’s now think­ing, “well that’s a bit of a long way” — Kat has joined Eng­lish Wed­ding as a spon­sor because she’s mov­ing to the UK in early 2012 and, very hap­pily for Eng­lish brides and grooms, she’s going to be a Lon­don wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher (she’ll be happy to travel any­where for a wed­ding, of course!). Which is fab!  Read more…

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Claire

I’ve made a new friend. Wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Phil Drinkwa­ter sent in Emma and Tom’s gor­geous Cheshire wed­ding to fea­ture on the blog at the begin­ning of Sep­tem­ber. I fol­lowed it up with a wed­ding inspi­ra­tion board and we got chat­ting. I’m absolutely delighted to now wel­come Phil as a new spon­sor of the Eng­lish Wed­ding blog.

Jonathon Watkins of Pho­toglow Pho­tog­ra­phy sent me this beau­ti­ful col­lec­tion of pho­tographs which show­case his style and approach to shoot­ing wed­dings. And I love it: this is what Eng­lish Wed­ding blog is all about, embrac­ing glam­our and stun­ning imagery.

The bridal shoot took place at Ellen­bor­ough Park, which is a lux­u­ri­ous stately home just out­side Chel­tenham. With a his­tory dat­ing back to the 1400s, Ellen­bor­ough Park is a fas­ci­nat­ing and mag­nif­i­cent venue for wed­dings, and the per­fect loca­tion for a wed­ding photo shoot!  Read more…

I don’t love you any more

Posted on September 1, 2011 by Claire

Dear blog… I’m sorry. I’ve strayed. I’ve found some­thing else, fallen head over heels for a rival… it’s new and excit­ing, dif­fer­ent and it’s tak­ing up all my free time.

I’ve been hooked by Pin­ter­est! And dear­est Eng­lish Wed­ding blog, while you’ll always be fore­most in my heart (after all, I do love you in the deep and meaningful-est of ways) — I’m hav­ing a flir­ta­tion with Pin­ter­est. Call it a crush.  Read more…

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!

Rings n Veils forest bridal shoot

Posted on August 5, 2011 by Claire

How can I intro­duce today’s Eng­lish Wed­ding blog fea­ture? Well… it’s for me. It’s a bridal shoot that I want to be in. Or maybe I want to be it. It’s strik­ing, stun­ning, dif­fer­ent and inspir­ing. It’s a con­fi­dence thing, about nature and being in your ele­ment. It’s about being a gor­geous bride and there­fore beau­ti­ful. (All photo cred­its: Rings n Veils wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy)

Bridal shoot wedding photography blog by Rings n Veils (1)It’s about fairy­tales. But not fairy­tales with a sim­per­ing princess who needs res­cu­ing… fairy­tales with a strong princess, a gor­geous hero­ine who’ll have an adven­ture all of her own and win your heart. A fairy­tale, per­haps, where the forces of nature are enchant­ing and cap­ti­vat­ing and mother nature plays a vital role.  Read more…

The right kind of photography for wedding blogs?

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Claire

May I indulge myself today and muse a lit­tle? Per­haps you can help answer the ques­tions in my tummy — all about wed­ding blogs, wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy, inspi­ra­tion and indulgence…

Some­times an idea just pops in and I run with it. I find myself think­ing about dif­fer­ent styles of wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy and how blog­gers fea­ture wed­dings — ulti­mately, about how brides– and grooms-to-be read and enjoy wed­ding blogs.

Details and wed­ding inspiration

The big wed­ding blogs — the likes of Style Me Pretty, Ruf­fled and Love My Dress to name only a few of my favourites — fea­ture wed­dings full of details: flow­ers, table dec­o­ra­tions, acces­sories, signs and all those beau­ti­ful lit­tle ideas we love.  Read more…

Tatton Wedding Show — in pictures

Posted on January 29, 2011 by Claire

Red Flo­ral Archi­tec­ture was a real star of the show for me — with incred­i­ble flower designs in the entrance as well as on their stand. More to come later in the week!

The ice sculp­tures were impres­sive! I loved the wed­ding table plan (lam­i­nated and then… glazed?) encased in ice and the way it flows around the edges. Beau­ti­ful! This was by Glacial Art — award win­ning, inter­na­tion­ally renowned mas­ter crafts­men.  Read more…

A pas­sion­ate kiss and a fan­tas­tic image with vin­tage processing

How to describe this wed­ding in a short title… yikes: couldn’t do it! Nicky and Mar­tyn will be famil­iar to many of you from the Eng­lish Wed­ding e-shoot week we did in Jan­u­ary. Lit­tle did I know when I fea­tured one of wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Mark Tier­ney’s favourite engage­ment shoots that the cou­ple were already mar­ried and that their wed­ding pho­tographs would blow me away.  Read more…
