New Year New Features

 

2011 started with a bang, with lots of my lovely brides (and grooms, obviously!) prettifying the pages of magazines in news agents all over the UK. Emily & Owen‘s rockin’ London wedding got featured in the Feb/March issue of Cosmopolitan Bride, while Lucy & Brandon‘s elegant Andaz Liverpool Street wedding currently graces the pages of Wedding magazine, plus you can also find Sarah & James‘ beautiful countryside wedding in the newest issue of Wedding Flowers.
I hope you all had a brilliant New Year’s and are getting used to the new decade. I’m still slightly confused about where 2010 went, but I’m starting to get super excited about the amazing weddings ahead of me. I have to say it, I just love my job!

Alexis & Jack | Engagement

What can I say… I love my job at the best of times, but sometimes I just have to pinch myself. Sometimes I feel knocked sideways by the amazingness of it all. Especially at times when I get to hang out with incredible people such as Alexis and Jack, who are just so completely open, and so full of love for each other that it practically hits you in the face when you catch a glimpse of it. How privileged do I feel to be able to witness and document such a beautiful thing.
Alexis, who is like a little ball of positive energy and good vibes, runs a wedding blog called Omg I’m getting married! (a site every bit as vibrant as her personality) and as a result the wedding she’s planning is going to be, in a word, E-P-I-C. I get all impatient just thinking about it!
For their engagement session Alexis & Jack wanted to head to London’s Chinatown. They met while they were both living in Hong Kong, so this part of town feels very homely to them. It was pretty perfect. The hustle and bustle, the delicious smells all around, the sun (oh, the sun!) – it was aaall good.
Thank you so much Alexis and Jack, for giving so willingly and for trusting the process, even when I told you to sit in the middle of a busy street! Love you guys.
P.S. Last but not least, can you all join together in singing Happy Birthday to Alexis as it is indeed her big day today!

Jane & Michael | Engagement

 

Jane and Michael are getting married in Surrey next February, and on a surprisingly sunny afternoon in October we met up for their engagement session in the Shad Thames area in London. I really enjoyed hanging out with the couple and getting to know them a bit better. Also, Jane is just absolutely stunning, and has the most gorgeous smile ever – I really cannot wait to see what a beautiful bride she’ll make!
Thank you Jane and Michael for being up for anything I threw at you, I hope you’ll like the results!
