It’s a rare treat for me to cover a truly ‘local’ wedding, so Abigail & Simon’s day felt very special indeed, taking place practically just at my doorstep. Abi & Simon tied the knot at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Church in Thames Ditton, in a ceremony which was made extra special by the fact that after the ‘I dos’ Abi & Simon’s son Charlie got christened. So this was indeed a huge day for the whole family!
From the church we made a quick jump, via a portrait session in Bushy park, to Kingston-upon-Thames for a wedding reception at the gorgeous Warren House. Pesky rain cut our portrait session short, but not before the deer got a good glimpse of Abi’s beautiful Suzanne Neville gown. Personally I think that every wedding portrait session should come with mandatory deer!
The reception was a true labour of love from Abi’s part. She had handmade most everything, special mention going to the amazing tea cups with wine glass stems for the girls and wineglasses attached to toy cars for the boys. All hand glued by Abi! I also loved the dessert table, which consisted of a variety of cakes, all made by the guests. At the end of the evening, when the happy couple had sampled all the flavours, prizes were given out to the top cakes. Such a fun idea.
I can’t thank you enough Abigail, Simon and Charlie, for letting us share your beautiful day with you. I wish your whole gorgeous family all the happiness for the future!
Stunnign. You’re amazing.
Lovely work Marianne. Glad to see the cake thing worked out well for you Abigail, they look lush.

Amazingly lovely wedding! I really love all the details, and the idea with the balloons and that pretty, colorful cake. Beautiful work once again, Marianne :)
Loving those balloons! And those shots with deers in the background, wow! Plus all those moments of happiness and delight everywhere, Marianne my photography heroine!
Captured the atmosphere perfectly – I think my favourite few photos are of the balloons. I’m such a child :D
Really lovely wedding! The shot of the bride hugging her son before the ceremony is golden!

Beautiful Marianne… You’re amazing.
So amazing. I love the portraits of them, and yes – the ones with the deer? ridiculously awesome.
Marianne, you captured our day so wonderfully. It made us cry looking at the pictures. The one of Charlie and I is truly priceless.
Thank you so very very much. Our day will always be remembered by these photos exactly the way it happened. Each picture brings back the exact same emotion in me that i had at that time. It can’t stress how over the moon i am x x x
Oh Abi, it makes me so happy to hear that! xx
