It was quite exotic to see Anna & Chris’ wedding featured in the March issue of Cosmopolitan Bride in China. I’ve only seen the layout in pdf form so far, but am looking forward to browsing through the whole magazine once I get my hard copy of it – even if I’m not going to understand a word of it. :D
Both Sophie & Henry‘s and Anna & Chris‘ weddings have the honour of gracing the pages of the December/January Cosmopolitan Bride, which is out now.
Coming from a magazine design background, magazines have always played a huge part in my life. When I changed careers to photography I was wondering how much I would miss the publishing world, but luckily I haven’t had to miss it all really. Having my work published in magazines has enabled me to experience the process from the other side of the fence, and I have to say it has been thoroughly enjoyable, not to mention a huge honour. Every time I get a new issue featuring my photos in my hands it feels like Christmas, and I can’t wait to see what the designers have come up with! :D
It’s a rainy day in Cornwall today so I thought I’d make the most of being stuck indoors and finally give you a full post on Anna & Chris’ beautiful Surrey wedding.
For this wedding we got to travel to the picturesque village of Chiddingfold in Surrey. Anna and the girls got ready at the incredibly atmospheric over 400 years old Crown Inn Hotel, while the boys were enjoying a drink to ease their nerves in the pub downstairs.
Both the ceremony and the reception took place at the stunning Ramster country house, which bathed in glorious sunshine all day. Since Anna and Chris were to became Mr and Mrs Wood, there was a nature/wooden theme running through the decorations. I really adored the wild flower arrangements and all the ‘wooden’ stationary. Such prettiness everywhere!
One of my favourite parts of the day has to be when after the speeches all the guests joined in to serenade the bride with one of her favourite songs. Such a great surprise and a beautiful moment!
Here’s a little sneaky peek from Anna & Chris’ beautiful Surrey wedding from a few weeks back. You might remember their engagement session in Richmond Park from last year. I’ll be down in Cornwall for the next week, but hopefully I’ll be able to finish this wedding and post some more pictures while I’m there. Depends entirely on whether I’m too busy sitting on the beach, reading the huge stack of books I’ve been hoarding for this trip!
Last weekend we headed to Richmond Park with Anna and Chris (and the incredibly soft Murphy) for their engagement shoot. It was a super windy day, but at least we did miss all the rain that came down later on. These two are simply gorgeous and I could have spent all day photographing them! :D It was such a lovely and relaxing change to be shooting in a park instead of central London as well. We even ran into lots of deer (and baby bambis!). First we thought about trying to incorporate them into the pictures, but decided not to bother them too much after the stag got very agitated over someone else filming them.
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed myself on this shoot, and I think these are some of the nicest engagement pictures I’ve taken. Can’t wait for your wedding next year guys!
Just how ridiculously gorgeous are these two?? Alas, it’s 3am and I think I really ought to get some sleep now. More from Anna & Chris’s engagement session later…
