Ever so sorry about the recent quietness. All sorts of things have been happening such as overseas visitors, and unfortunate illnesses, so it’s been a week of up and downs. Trying to get back on the horse now, starting with Amanda and Mike’s cool Soho wedding, which is way overdue to be blogged.
First of all, I can’t tell you how excited I was when I found out that Amanda was getting ready at the Dean Street Townhouse, which has got to be one of the most beautiful places to stay (or eat) in London. Amanda looked stunning in her Caroline Castigliano gown, and Mike very dapper in one of the coolest suits I’ve ever seen (skulls & crossbones lining, hello?) by a funky tailor in Brighton called Gresham Blake.
The ceremony of Amanda & Mike’s wedding took place in the Purple Room of Old Marylebone Townhall, which is starting to get quite familiar to us! The Townhall is definitely becoming one of my favourite places for ceremonies in London, not least because the staff there are always so lovely. From the Townhall guests (and Susanna) got on a London routemaster, which ferried them to the reception venue, Century Club, while Amanda, Mike and I strolled the streets of Soho for some portraits before rejoining the party.
There were lots of delicious details to take in at the reception, not least the gorgeous cupcakes from Mrs Marengos, but if there was one experience I would take away from this wedding to treasure forever, it would have to be the absolutely gobsmackingly gorgeous roof terrace at Century Club, where the evening reception took place. I think it’s hard to beat a first dance under an open sky on a rooftop in the middle of London. Just, wow.
Thank you so much Amanda & Mike for having us share your wedding day with you, it was so full of love and laughter and I wish you’ll have plenty more of that to come in your future together!
What a setting! Amazing photography!
Stunning work as always Marianne.
Wicked as usual.
Oh my goodness, SOOO many great ones throughout this post. This is some amazing work, Marianne! :)
Great shots! Love that first dress shot a lot!
And your processing is lovely, subtle but perfect!
Oh my gosh, I love this. LOVE it! All of it.
Your processing is just to die for.
I have to go back and look again…
:)
Awesome looking wedding. Great moments of photo journalism thrown in there as well as all the beautiful looking details.
The photo of Amanda right under the Just Married picture is so awesome. She looks beyond happy. It made me tear up!
Wow! Great photos. Looks like a fun wedding.
Incredible post Marianne! Love the entire set.
Absolutely gorgeous! I feel like I was there…
The way you have combined the beautiful architecture into your images is brilliant. You have kept the focus on the subject but enhanced the story by adding in more of the surroundings. Very well done.
There’s a lot of happiness in this post – love the expressions and emotions.
as always, Marianne – I love your work and your sense of space and storytelling. I adored all the images of the couple under the chinese paper lanterns.
Beautiful work! I love the couple under the lanterns, such a beautiful moment. They had amazing details as well.
Lovely photos. I like the way you have been sparing with the flash, it gives a very natural feeling to the shots.
I’ve never seen such a tidy hotel room, by the time I get to a wedding it’s usually been trashed! Do you take a special room tidier with you?
How do you make every wedding look stunning? I love the photos in chinatown!
Great shots!
Great set! I do like all your detialed close up photos… great colors as well! Very nice job
Wow!!! .. Speechless. Great stuff, Marianne!
Stunning work, as usual :)
Is there anything that you do that isn’t amazing? I think not. Incredible work as always. LOVE IT.
Wonderful and what a venue!
Gorgeous! I love the expressions you caught during the ceremony!
beautiful work here
