There were so many beautiful details in this wedding that I wouldn’t know where to start, but I have to mention the gorgeous gown that Alix designed herself, which was made at the Maria Lucia Hohan atelier – it really was a piece of art, even more delicate and magical in real life than in pictures!

I would like to take this opportunity to say a HUGE thank you to my assistant Susanna Hauru, who’s been an amazing help this summer. I’ve certainly had some adventures this year, and I’m glad she’s been there to share most of them!

p.s. Do also check out Alix’s blog for the fabulous honeymoon pictures – oh my, talk about paradise!

Emily and the girls got ready at Hilton Euston, and Emily’s personal style was evident from every detail right from the beginning. Emily’s dress was a gorgeous 1950′s vintage number from ebay and her fab shoes were from Topshop. Oh and Emily’s kick-ass up-do was created by Freda at Rush Baker Street.

The ceremony of Emily and Owen’s wedding took place at the Old Marylebone Town Hall from where it was a short skip and a hop to the reception venue, Six Fitzroy Square, an absolutely stunning Georgian townhouse, which was for sure one of the nicest venues I’ve visited in London. It had such an elegant and grand, but yet homely, feel about it. I can’t thank Palette Events enough, they took such good care of us and did a great job on the day. Also, Lisa at Honor Oak Florists had created the most charming flower arrangements into vases that Emily had collected from charity shops, markets and car boot sales.

I love the fact that I’ve got to cover such a diverse bunch of weddings this year – and I really and truly have loved each and every one of them. When the personalities of the couple shine through in every detail, it is always bound to be a beautiful day! Emily & Owen’s wedding was certainly one event that I will not forget easily, not least because of Owen’s singing… :D (and now I go hide from Owen, while you go check out the pictures!)

There were so many things I loved about this wedding, from the fun relaxed atmosphere and Pimm’s in the garden, to the quirky hat-themed seating plan, but my favourite has to be the gorgeous flowers – they were just beyond beautiful!

I don’t know whether it was the remote location which made the darkness feel darker, but when the evening fell at Vee & Will’s wedding, I realised that this crazy summer has almost come to an end. When we drove off into the pitch black night, leaving the wedding party tearing it up on the dance floor, I found myself feeling quite nostalgic… Not to worry though, the season is nowhere near finished yet, September and October are chock-a-block with lovely weddings to look forward to.

But first, let me take you back to rural Essex….

Vee & Will’s beautiful garden wedding in rural Essex…

…and Emily & Owen’s super cute vintage flavoured wedding in central London.

Worth waiting for, yes?

On the last day of my holiday I was persuaded to cover the wedding of Anu & Oka (who himself is in my opinion Finland’s finest wedding photographer), and I’m really happy that I did agree to do it – it was such fun being part of Finnish wedding proceedings for a change. Below are a few glimpses from Anu and Oka’s portrait session, more pictures from the wedding will come later, much later…

From the traffic to my site I can see that there are a lot of anxious people wanting me to get on with the processing of a certain French wedding, and I promise I am knuckling down to it! Also, if your French is up to scratch you may have been following the story of this wedding, as told by the bride’s mum. I will share some of my favourites from the day once Elodie is finished with teasing her readers! :D

Like everyone I’ve ever photographed, Jing and Roger were a bit shy and hesitant to begin with, but in no time at all they really got into the spirit of things and threw themselves fully into the shoot. A lot of laughing, running and jumping was done throughout our session, all the way from Green Park to Belgrave, and I think we all really enjoyed ourselves.

I couldn’t quite make my mind up about which category to post this anniversary session in, so it now finds itself in both engagement and wedding categories. It kind of makes sense right? Right?

The pretty-factor in Sarah and James’ Suffolk wedding was definitely up there! The venue, amazing Bruisyard Hall, was one of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever got to visit. Sarah looked absolutely stunning in her Monsoon dress and Louboutins, only to be rivalled by the beauty of the surroundings and the amazing flowers from Sweet Peas and Bumble Bees, who are dedicated to growing beautiful eco-friendly flowers.

And get this, there was archery! Yes, archery! It looked like such good fun that this was one of the only times I’ve worked at a wedding wishing that I was taking part rather than documenting.

Everything at this wedding was so beautiful and well thought-out, in Sarah’s own words a lot of the credit goes to her ‘incredibly talented, creative and hard working Mum who made bunting & lavender bags, scoured charity shops for linen and plates, made 250 scones as well as planning all of the other food, arranged everything and was a total star. And the whole day wouldn’t have happened without our friends and families who made all the food, arranged flowers, BBQ’d, decorated the marquee and did a dozen other jobs to make the day AMAZING.’ Hear hear!
