    Brunel museum wedding photographer London | Sara and Florian

    I was so delighted when Sara and Florian asked me to be their  Brunel museum wedding photographer. It is one of London’s hidden gems, and only opened as a wedding venue in 2017. I have always been fascinated by engineering, and  Isambard Kingdom Brunel was one of its greatest pioneers. Situated on a quiet street along London’s riverside in Rotherhithe, the museum is run by volunteers who want to educate and share his genius with the world. It also makes a pretty special wedding venue, steeped in history and full of character as you can see in the pictures below!

    Sara and Florian are a fabulous, fun and creative couple; both of them exuded style and glamour and their deep love for each other was clear to see. Sara’s incredible bridal look was inspired by Rita Hayworth (I love this!) while Florian turned to Austin Powers for his inspiration! They wanted a relaxed celebration with their friends and family in an interesting place where their guests could learn a little more about London’s history. They had held an intimate ceremony the day before so the reception was all about good fun, good food, and good company.

    If you are considering a Brunel museum wedding or are planning a unique London wedding, I would love to hear from you!

  • 2018 wedding trends | Brides the Show London

    I recently had the honour of showing my work at Brides the Show in Islington, London where I had a front row seat to observe all of the amazing 2018 wedding trends.

    Beautifully-curated by Brides magazine, I was not only lucky enough to meet lots of gorgeous brides and grooms to be, but I also got to meet some of the finest wedding suppliers in London and the UK. It is bridal heaven – trust me!

    Despite it being a very busy show, I managed to grab a few snaps of some of the wonderful displays on show so if you didn’t get to go yourself, and would like to see some gorgeous wedding inspiration and the hot 2018 wedding trends, you’ve come to the right place.

    Not only is  Sharon Cunningham is one of the UK’s leading bridal designers, she’s also great fun and a fellow Irish woman – what’s not to love?! Her couture wedding gowns are straight off the pages of Vogue – sophisticated, luxurious and modern.  Pop over to her website to find out more about her work.

    My next door neighbour at the show was the lovely Kate from Wags and Weddings. Your wedding is about celebrating your marriage surrounded by your loved ones, and one of the big wedding trends for 2018 is bringing your pet along too. If you’re a dog-lover and dream of your pooch playing a role on your big day, Wags and Weddings can make it happen for you. They will train your dog to walk up the aisle and make sure they are well looked throughout the day. Now every dog can have its day, or at least be a part of yours!

     

    I absolutely love these beautiful creations from Plume Design,  a very talented stationery designer based in South West London. They create bespoke luxury stationery for weddings and events, check out more lovely designs on their website. Envelope liners are a big wedding stationery trend for 2018, as is beautiful paper (rather than card). Strawberry Sorbet‘s  stand blew me away – the dark grey walls and copper legs really highlighted their modern designs, while the talented de Winton Paper Company showed off their fine art watercolour stationery – delicate illustrations are another big theme for next year.

      How great does this very on-trend doughnut wall look??  Sugar Tits create cool and colourful confectionery displays for fashionable London couples to wow their guests.  The Enchanting Cake Company is one of the UK’s leading cake specialists and their stand showed off some of their award-winning (and delicious-looking) creations.

    Dessert tables are also a hot trend for 2018, and these delicate creations from Piff Paff Bakery also work really well as a modern wedding favours.

    I noticed a lot of really relaxed and modern bridalwear at Brides the Show this year; lightweight fabrics that move gracefully with exquisite design details. Lace, pleating and feathered elements are a big 2018 bridalwear trend.

    Here are some gorgeous examples from Ruth Milliam Couture,  Halfpenny London,  Charlie Brear,  Katya Katya Shehurina,  Belle & Bunty and  Amanda Wakeley.

  • Greenwich Park engagement session London | Rachel and Alex

    Beautiful Greenwich Park engagement session with Rachel and Alex.

    I spent a lovely afternoon wandering around Greenwich Park and the National Maritime museum with Rachel and Alex recently. They will be celebrating their wedding later this year in Coventry but as London is where they both call home now, we decided to make the most of what this beautiful city has to offer for their engagement session.

    Every corner of England’s capital is so full of history and interesting discoveries, but there is something so evocative about Greenwich. For me, it instantly conjures up Turner-esque images of mighty sea battles across the globe and great advances in astronomy and navigation.

    Rachel and Alex’s love story has an international flavour too, as they originally met and fell in love in Germany when they both worked for the same company. Alex has recently relocated to London and they are looking forward to the next chapter in their lives together.

    Here are a few highlights from our Greenwich Park engagement session. If you are currently planning your own wedding adventure, and would like a beautiful, modern engagement session in London (or elsewhere), I would love to hear from you.
