Lisa & Alex | Beloved

June 10, 2011 · 27 Comments

I’m so excited to be posting Lisa & Alex’s Beloved session! Personally I think that each and every image in this set represents the kind of work that makes everything about this job worthwhile to me. I’m actually shooting Lisa & Alex’s wedding in August, but since they’ve been together for 13 years (!), they opted to do a Beloved session instead of an engagement session prior to their wedding. So what’s the difference with these two types of sessions? While there are certainly similar elements, and while I’m of course always interested in capturing that authentic interaction and use the same techniques for encouraging it, there is also a fundamental difference. The simplest way to put it would be to say that engagement sessions are more about the external (different locations and outfits or props and rings etc.) and the environment plays a bigger part, while Beloved sessions are entirely about the internal – the setting isn’t that relevant, it’s more about exploring the love that already exists between the couple.

Here’s a bit about what Lisa and Alex had to say about their experience.

“It was so lovely to spend that time really connecting with each other – something that we rarely get a chance to do with such busy lives (and wedding planning!). We hardly noticed that Marianne was there and I think the pictures prove she captured some really lovely moments. I would recommend this shoot to couples who are looking for something a little different, who maybe are already married or celebrating an anniversary, it’s a lovely way to spend some time together and capture the moment for years to come.”

It was such an honour to share these moments with Lisa & Alex. I think you’ll agree that these two are simply adorable!

Laura & Richard | Wedding

October 25, 2010 · 27 Comments

I’m so excited to finally be blogging Laura & Richard’s gorgeous London wedding! It seems like aaages ago since Laura and Richard booked me, and it feels a little bit surreal that the wedding is now suddenly behind us. It kind of goes to show the importance of photography that even I feel so happy to relive this wedding through the pictures, and it isn’t even my wedding!

First of all, what can I say about Laura’s stunning gown. It was called Fanal and was by La Sposa (bought at Bride and Groom, Bromley) in oyster colour, which I have to say was so so cool. Here’s what Laura told me about finding her dress: ‘It was the first dress I tried on, I then tried on about 30 more but each one was not quite right. I knew I wanted something plain and wanted to go for more of a Red Carpet/Hollywood/Oscar style look rather than a traditional bridal look. I wasn’t going to have a veil initially, but after struggling to find any sort of head piece that was right, I ended up going for a full length veil (by Richard Designs) for a dramatic effect.’ Laura’s glamorous Ted Baker heels complimented the colour of her dress beautifully. My absolutely favourite details must have been the gooorgeous earrings by Mikey. ‘I ummed and ahhed about these for ages as they were so big, but I couldn’t find anything else that matched so well,’ says Laura. The earrings also matched beautifully with her Tiffany pearl bracelet, which was a morning gift from Richard. To finish off Laura’s red carpet look Oonagh Connor did her make-up and Charlotte Dignam from Toni & Guy worked her magic on Laura’s hair.

Both the ceremony and reception took place at the Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich. This was the first time I’d ever visited this Victorian pub, and it certainly charmed me with it’s nostalgic atmosphere. Karen Woolven had created the beautiful flower arrangements and Laura’s lovely bouquet, which I thought were all show stoppers, not least because of Laura’s colour choices. In fact, Laura’s strong sense of style was evident in every aspect of the day, especially in all the stationary, which was designed by Laura herself. Sugarplum Cake Company (whom Laura and Richard found through my website!), created the cake – the cake topper (which turned out to be too heavy for the cake) was bought by Laura’s mum and aunt in Zurich, as they both thought it looked like the couple!

As the evening drew closer Jack Valentine entertained the guests with some swinging tunes, and DJ Matt Maurice got everyone on the dance floor. I also have to mention the video crew, Gorgeous Films, who were a joy to work with. And as always, a huge thank you to Susanna Hauru for assisting me on the day.

This certainly was one stylish wedding, and I really enjoyed being a part of it. One of the highlights of the day must have been when, while taking portraits of Laura & Richard, we stumbled onto the set of Pirates of the Caribbean 4! Sadly (or perhaps luckily, as I’m not sure they could have dragged me or Laura back to the wedding otherwise) Mr Depp wasn’t on set that evening, but I’m pretty sure all of us will be watching the film with a keener than normal eye, trying to spot all the set pieces that are now part of Laura & Richard’s wedding photos!

Kristy & Peri | Engagement

May 7, 2010 · 12 Comments

Oh dear. I just realised the blog is feeling a bit unloved! I’ve been so busy catching up with editing that I kind of forgot to blog.

I was so happy I made it back to the UK just in time for Kristy & Peri’s Greenwich engagement shoot. I have to say it was a bit of a shock to the system to return to what seemed like full-on summer, when it had just been sleeting in Finland the previous day! The day of our shoot was absolutely gorgeous, and I had a blast getting to know a part of London that hasn’t really been a part of my usual haunts. Kristy and Peri are getting married in their native Australia this winter (alas, summer for them!) and I wish they’ll have a beautiful wedding day and a wonderful life together – what with them being such sunny personalities I’m sure that’s all a given!

Thanks guys, I really had a fun day traipsing around Greenwich with you!
