Saleema & David | Engagement
I first met Saleema & David what now seems like ages ago, when they booked me for their June 2011 wedding two years in advance. We’ve been meaning to do their engagement session ever since then, with the possible location changing more times than I can count. In the end we settled on doing the session in Vienna, as that’s where Saleema & David currently live. It was a bit of a fly-by visit for me, flying in in the morning and back home in the evening, but well worth it. It was so nice hanging out with these two beautiful people, and I absolutely loved Vienna (the night before I got so excited about the prospect of reliving one of my favourite movies, Before Sunrise, that I hardly got any sleep! :D), I will definitely be returning for a longer visit one day.
I can’t wait for Saleema & David’s London wedding in June, and will definitely be keeping an eye on Saleema’s blog in order to see what kind of things she has planned for the big day.
P.S. I’m so kicking myself right now for not having any of that mouthwatering cake!

Something old, something new
I hope you’re all having a lovely start to a new week! You might have noticed that my website has had a bit of a polish and is wearing new pretty graphics (if something is looking wonky, you might want to refresh your browser). The structure of the main site or the blog hasn’t really changed that much, as I’m a great believer in ‘if it’s not broken don’t fix it’, but for a long time I’ve been feeling that the overall design lacked some personality and femininity.
When it comes to the blog, while I appreciate that all sort of fancy sideways-scrolling cartwheel-spinning visual feasts are nice to look at, I’m such an old skool blogger at heart, that for me blogs need to first and foremost work as a reference library. Hence you will always find different ways to browse content, and links to archives, on my blog. Even if it doesn’t look as sleek as some other ways of presenting blogs, content will always be king in this particular one.
A huge thank you to Sabina from Design Garden, who created the beautiful graphics for me (I wanted something feminine, fun and reflecting my love of DIY) and Paul Thompson (who still after 10 years of coding my websites doesn’t have a site of his own), who implemented the changes.
So, do have a browse and take in the new look, I really hope you’ll like it! I appreciate all feedback you might have. In fact, at the end of the week I will draw two random people who comment on this post from the hat and send them a little surprise.
