I was with Polly & Jack for just a few hours, from the sweet ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall, to some portraits in Regents Park (in the few moments of sunshine this otherwise damp day had for us!), through to the clinking of champagne glasses at the beautiful St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. I so enjoyed being part of Polly & Jack’s day, and I wish them all the best in the future!

P.S. before you ask, Polly’s amazing dress was by David Fielden!

I’d like to say a huge THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, to all of you who made 2011 so special. To my couples who put such trust in me, who are just downright amazing, and who are the reason I have the best job in the world. To other people in the UK wedding industry, some of whom I’ve become very close friends with, you all rock. To Susanna, for continuing being the best assistant anyone could wish for. And to my husband, who, despite being the most impatient person I know, has shown incredible patience and support with my workaholic ways. Love you.

I am SO excited about 2012. I have many big plans brewing, some gorgeous weddings to look forward to, and I simply can’t wait to get stuck in. Happy New Year everyone, may it be the best yet!

Alison & Anna’s day was just perfect from start to finish. From the girls getting ready in their beautiful home overlooking The Dome, the classy paper goods by The Letter Press of Cirencester, the gorgeous matching Jimmy Choos (I mean really, I go nuts over one pair, feel free to imagine how excited I was about two pairs) and stunningly glamorous Amanda Wakeley gowns. Hamilton Stansfield worked his magic on hair and Bunny Clarke on make-up, and when the girls were ready to step out of the door they looked like genuine movie stars.

The Gherkin is such a cool venue that it doesn’t really need much embellishment, but arrangements by Inwater Flowers and the uh-ma-zing cake by none other than Choccywoccydoodah cake shop helped to set the very stylish and glamorous tone.

I think it was partly the knowledge that this was the last wedding of the season, and partly the fact that everyone present were so lovely and emotionally invested, but I certainly caught myself tearing up on more than one occasion, not least during the beautiful ceremony and the amazingly heartfelt speeches from the dads.

When the night fell and far far below us the Bonfire Night fireworks got on the way, the best DJ’s in town – The Wedding Smashers – worked their magic and got everyone on the dance floor. And that’s where we left Anna & Alison, looking like goddesses, dancing the night away as newlyweds, wide smiles lighting up their faces.

Thank you so much for having us Anna & Ali, there really couldn’t have been a more perfect ending to the season! x

From there is was a skip and a hop across the street to the Townhall, where John was waiting in the Reception Room, which is one of my favourite ceremony spaces in London. After the ceremony Jane, John and I walked across town towards Mayfair, taking some portraits on the way, before joining the guests for some delicious looking dim sum at the Princess Garden of Mayfair.

It was unusual for us to cover such an early morning wedding, with a lunchtime reception, but there was something very personal and quaint about it all. I always love it when people do their own thing and go with what suits them best.

Thank you Jane & John for having us share your lovely day with you. I hope you’ve had an amazing time on your honeymoon! x

Oh Vanessa and James, thanks so much for making it so that our paths crossed (it was the right day in the end wasn’t it) I feel so happy to have met you, and I hope you’ll have an absolutely magical wedding day in Singapore!

The day kicked off at the Hilton Hotel Malta , which overlooks the beautiful St Julian’s bay, where both Andrea and Sean got ready (albeit in different rooms!). I just adored Andrea’s two piece Vera Wang gown, so unusual and absolutely stunning. For the ceremony we made the trip up to Naxxar, where both events took place at the incredible Palazzo Parisio. I mean, wow, what a place! Flowers by Alistair Fenech provided even more beauty, and the whole affair was visually almost overwhelming with such gorgeousness everywhere you looked.

I’d like to say a huge thank you to Andre & Sean, for letting us be a part of this beautiful day, it was an experience I won’t forget in a hurry! Thank you also to Jane from Palazzo Parisio for taking brilliant care of us on the day.

Now, let us soak up some sun…

I think the term ‘cute as a button’ was actually invented for Helen & Miles. They are just simply adorable, inside and out, and it was so nice to finally spend some time photographing them. Helen & Miles are getting married next year in one of the coolest venues I know, Pale & Interesting, down in Kent. They were originally going to get married somewhere else, but fell so head over heels in love when they came across the amazing New England barn that they decide to change venues. And I couldn’t have been happier when they told me about the change of plans. I can. not. wait. for the wedding day!

It always feels really special being a part of such an intimate wedding, and I love the atmosphere of a small gathering of people who are close to each other. Also, Rupert is a photographer himself, and when ever another photographer chooses me to document their day, I can’t but feel a little bit chuffed.

Thank you Gemma & Rupert, for letting me be a small part of your gorgeous day, you and the adorable Heath make such a beautiful family! I’m hoping to hear all about the amazing honeymoon later. x

This is one of those days when I feel like I should let the pictures do the talking. There are so many smiles and so much flower girl cuteness to go around, that I’m sure you can’t help but smile along to the images.

Thank you Lucy & Nick for letting us share your beautiful day with you, it was such a pleasure. It was all so very lovely and you make such a gorgeous couple! x

Well, after the laughter-filled joyous ceremony, all the guests did indeed take a stroll following Corrine & Tony. We ended up at the riverfront where Queen Elizabeth, a boat hired through Colliers Launches awaited. Lots of excitement ensued when people got on board the boat and into what they thought was to be the wedding reception on the river. The cruise along the Thames was very lovely indeed, but I was still having to bite my lip as I knew that we weren’t yet at the final destination…

When we got up to Hampton Court Palace, people were taking pictures and excitedly pointing out the impressive buildings, while speculating that this was probably where we would turn around for a cruise back down the river. I of course knew better and was literally about to burst at this point! When we finally slowly docked, and it started to dawn on everyone that we might be getting off the boat, the atmosphere got beyond giddy. And when Corrine and Tony finally led everyone to The Little Banqueting House at Hampton Court Palace, where Urban Soul Orchestra greeted people with their beautiful renditions of the best songs ever, the mood was pretty much the same as if you’d actually caught Santa red-handed leaving presents under the tree!

What an amazing venue, what an amazing day and what an amazing couple. I have to say that this must have been the most nerve-wracking, exciting, amazing roller-coaster of a wedding day I’ve ever been a part of. Corrine and Tony really and truly managed to create a day that no-one present will ever forget. Thank you so so much letting us be a part of your extraordinary day, and thank you for being the absolute loveliest couple ever! x
