Simona & Dan | Wedding

February 18, 2010 · 35 Comments

Ooh I do love an Andaz Liverpool Street wedding! Luckily I have quite a few of them coming up, but Simona & Dan’s was the first one this year, which makes it a little bit special. The ceremony of Simona & Dan’s wedding took place in the Bishopsgate Room of the Andaz, while their drinks reception was held at the Gallery and dinner in the gorgeous 1901 restaurant. I have to say that I was blown away by how Simona had planned every little detail SO perfectly. From her gorgeous Vera Wang gown, to the purple colour theme running through the day, everything looked just absolutely sublime!

After the speeches guests piled onto an old London bus, which ferried us over to the St Mary Axe at the top of the Gherkin. Despite the darkness and the fog, the views from up there very pretty spectacular. What a place to dance the night away! Oh and a special shout out goes to the boys from Wedding Smashers who did a seriously good job on the decks. If you’re in search of the coolest wedding DJ’s in town, look no further.

Thank you so much Dan and (princess) Simona! I loved every minute of your beautiful wedding and I hope you will always be as happy together as you were on the day. <3

    These images are stunning Marianne. Unbelievablely great work. Those shots of the bride and groom when you broke away from the crowd are very beautiful and creative.

    The light works perfect with angles. You were able to capture the raw emotions of the couple. I believe the bride must have a fun on her wedding day with great memorabilia to keep.

    Without doubt, the Gherkin is one of the most stunning venues I have ever been to. I was lucky enough to be asked to exhibit at a wedding fair there earlier this year and the views are simply stunning! It’s also a very intimate venue despite the fact that you can see right across London! Some wnderful photos Marianne! Lovely!
