Creative portrait, couple & family reportage photography covering Devon, Cornwall, London, UK and overseas
Sam & Adam (a.k.a. awesomest clients ever™) have the pleasure of starring in a real weddings feature in the October/November issue of Cosmopolitan Bride, which is out now. The timing’s quite appropriate as well as tomorrow I’m off to cover another wedding at the Andaz – I adore that venue!
I’m so stoked to finally be able to blog Sam & Adam’s stunning Andaz wedding! I know it’s so so wrong to have ‘favourite’ clients, but if I was forced to rank my clients (at, you know, gunpoint or something) Sam and Adam would come way up there. They’re just so cool and nice and super talented, and they really made us feel like we were a part of the celebration.
Sam looked absolutely stunning from head to toe, from her gorgeous Marchesa gown to her cool Nicholas Kirkwood heels, and Adam very dapper indeed in his Dunhill suit. What with Sam and Adam – and a lot of their guests – being fashion designers, the coolness factor was definitely very high in this wedding! :D
No matter how many weddings I shoot at the Andaz, it seems that there are always new spaces to discover. This time, after ceremony in the Fenchurch room, the wedding breakfast was held at the Studio, which looked absolutely stunning, not least because of the gorgeous flowers by Scarlet & Violet (oh and the cake, by Maki’s Cakes, was pretty stunning too).
After dinner the party continued in the Temple. It was really nice to bump into familiar DJs, the Wedding Smashers, once again. These guys really do know how to rock a house!
A million thanks Sam and Adam for making us feel like we were a part of your super cool ‘family’! I know the ash cloud provided you with some extra days on honeymoon, which you totally deserved! :D
I’m almost done editing Sam & Adam’s lovely lovely (no really, lovely) London wedding, but I’m off to Finland tomorrow, so will have to continue on my return next week otherwise I’ll never get packing in time. There’s much more wedding goodness in store as well, including Rachel & Ben’s gorgeous hill top Oxford wedding, but all in good time.
In case you need me during the next five days, I’ll be checking my emails where I can, but most likely, unless your matter is super urgent, I’ll get back to you next week.
Sam & Adam SO belong on Rock’n Roll Bride – they’re just too cool for school (however, using that turn of phrase probably puts me right in the opposite category :P). Sam’s Diana wasn’t just a prop by the way, unfortunately there is evidence of that fact on film…
This engagement session felt somehow very special to me as I’d been waiting to meet Sam and Adam for what seems like aaaages. Due to them being busy posh designers, plus living in Italy, it wasn’t the easiest job trying to schedule their shoot at a time when they’d be in London and all of us would have space in our calendars. We headed to Spitalfields for their session, as this is Sam’s favourite part of London, and certainly managed to have quite an eventful afternoon! Among other things, we managed to stumble onto a society wedding, which was quite exciting as there were masses of paparazzi there pouncing on the celebrity guests.
It was so great finally meeting Sam and Adam, I can’t wait for their wedding at the Andaz next year!
