We love… Chicweddings

When Eva and Clara, the girls behind Chicweddings, a wedding planning service specialising in weddings in Italy, asked me to do a photo shoot with them, I jumped at the chance. Not only are these ladies extremely glamorous, they’re also an absolute pleasure to work with and we had such a fun day shooting around Notting Hill. I just loooove their style, which shines through in everything, from the way they dress to the glamorous weddings they put together.

Chicweddings Italy

Eva and Clara really are the epitome of ‘chic’, wouldn’t you agree? I’d also like to thank all the lovely people who allowed us to shoot in their cafes and shops, especially Alegria Life & Food and Myriad antiques at Clarendon Cross.

We love… blogging brides (and one groom)

As an enthusiastic reader of blogs, I always find it exciting when I find out a client of mine is a blogger. I really enjoy reading up on their wedding plans, or checking out their style blogs, in order to find out a bit more about what makes them tick. I thought it might be fun to share a few of my favourite blogging brides (and one groom!) with you. I hope you’ll find these blogs, with very different subject matters, as enjoyable as I do.

A Norfolk wedding.

Clare is getting married on the beautiful Norfolk coast, and she blogs about her plans and ideas for the wedding. All her gorgeous moodboards really inspire me and make me look forward to this wedding so much!

Modern Vintage Bride

Saleema blogs about all things wedding. She has an exquisite sense of style and a keen eye for details, especially those with a vintage flair, so I’m sure this is one wedding that will be absolutely stunning. Her wedding is actually split into two, with a Ghanaian ceremony on one day, and an English wedding on the day that I’m covering.

Le Blog de la Mechante

Elodie’s blog is a treasure trove of quirky ideas, beautiful pictures and copious amounts eye candy. Her plans for her wedding are SO creative that the wedding will most likely be the most individual looking one I’ve ever attended, and I really can’t wait to see all the things she will come up with. Hers is bound to be a wedding full of fun and whimsy!

The Cherry Blossom Girl

There’s no denying that Alix is one of the most stylish bloggers out there in the fashion blogosphere. I have no doubt that her wedding will be absolutely beautiful from start to finish, and that everyone involved will look super cool from head to bottom. What a better way to celebrate my birthday this year than to get to record this wedding. Squee!

Georgian London

If you’re interested in the history of London, Lucy’s blog is an absolute treat! Her writing is engaging and her facts well-researched, which has earned her blog all sort of accolades. It really is a fascinating look into the history of this exciting city that surrounds us.

Marc Broussely Photography blog

Marc has just launched a new website, and a new blog to go with it. I really enjoy his music photography and every time I visit his blog I get an itch to go buy concert tickets. If you’re a gig goer and love photography that helps you relive the best times, look no further than Marc’s blog.

Rock ‘n Roll Bride

Well, technically Kat isn’t really a client of mine, but I have done a photo shoot with her, so I say she qualifies! How could I leave out the royalty of UK wedding blogs from my list. If you need ideas on how to make a wedding look like you, look no further. Kat’s blog is packed with individual couples channeling their inner cool.

We love… Melanie Eddy Jewellery

It might seem like a bit of a departure for me to be taking pictures of jewellery, but there is actually a wedding connection behind these images. Melanie was a guest at Eleni & David’s wedding, and as it happens, she also designed Eleni’s wedding ring, the earrings she wore on the day, and David’s cuff links. After she saw the pictures I took at Eleni & David’s wedding, she contacted me to ask whether I’d be interested in photographing her jewelery, as she felt my style would be a good fit for it. It certainly was a first for me, but I must say I really enjoyed the experience, not least because I absolutely adore Melanie’s pieces, and I hope to be working with her again in the future.

Here’s a snippet from a press release about Melanie’s work at the upcoming Goldsmiths’ Fair.

“The Goldsmiths’ Company has awarded Melanie Eddy a Graduate Bursary to take part in this year’s Fair. She is one of ten recent graduates who are being supported by the Company at the Fair as they encourage new talent in the trade. Melanie will be showing in Week One of the two week event, from the 28th September – 4th October.

Goldsmiths’ Fair is now in its 27th year and continues to showcase both established and emerging British talent in contemporary jewellery and silverware. 90 designer-makers will be exhibiting during each week of the fair.

Melanie creates sculptural jewellery using applications of historical and contemporary geometries as tools to explore the relationship of form to the body; through new applications of traditional approaches she aspires to reinvest jewellery with some of its historical, symbolic power. She is currently introducing gemstones into her signature faceted style with a colour palette inspired by both the lush greenery and sea blues of her native island of Bermuda and jewellery of early civilizations.

To see Melanie’s work visit Goldsmiths’ Hall, Foster Lane, London EC2V 6BN.”

We love… The Wedding Chicks

I just wanted to show some love to one of my favourite wedding vendors around. Maesha & Pete‘s disc and Claire & Hywel‘s book both got delivered in lovely custom made tote bags from The Wedding Chicks (sorry about the somewhat suboptimal pics where they look crumpled to all hell!). I really love creative vendors such as this! If you’re a bride to be, check out their store for all sorts of fun things to prettify your wedding – I can guarantee you’ll be hooked!
