Thank you so much Sara and Max for being so gorgeous on the day, its going to be hard waiting until October to photograph you again at your wedding! We are so excited ...

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT THE DORCHESTER, LONDON

MAYA & PAUL’S STYLISH WEDDING IN CAMDEN
& RECEPTION AT THE DORCHESTER

What sparkle and style. When we took the call from the very elegant Rani, we knew her daughter’s wedding was going to be stunning. The gorgeous Maya married Paul at Camden Registry office and their lovely families jumped into cabs and headed off for a very stylish wedding lunch at the Dorchester. We adored Maya’s handsome and entertaining son Jay, (there are rather a lot of pics of him on this blog!!) & he was the perfect ring bearer. Maya’s look was darling - her yellow Max Mara dress was beautifully complimented by her sculptural Christian Laboutin’s and the the beautiful bouquet and button holes,floral artistry, was created by Fabulous Flowers, Oxford. The make-up was by celeb make-up artist Claire Hanson’s team (MACH team).

BIX MANOR CIVIL PARTNERSHIP

BECKY & EMMA’S UBER GLAMOROUS DAY

We’ve been so excited since Emma & Becky’s Hen night in November to take their pictures at their CP. Their day was more fabulous than we imagined (and expectations were very high!) They are beautiful people, with beautiful friends and family in every sense. Even their dogs resplendent in collars and velvet leads were impeccably behaved. Bix Manor is a amazing gem, a warm, sumptuous, lavish nest. Becky wore a stunning dress by Temperley and we loved the feminine cut of Emma’s YSL suit. Lovely, lovely flowers by Stemtation and the triumph of the cake by Emma’s sister. A party and a half with huge poignancy and they all lit up the cold month of January.

QUEEN’S COLLEGE, DIVINITY SCHOOL WEDDING, OXFORD

SARA & TIM’S STUNNING DAY

What a totally beautiful Wedding & visual feast! After taking their engagement pics, we knew that it was going to be SO enjoyable photographing Sara & Tim & it was. The beautiful wedding ceremony was held in the chapel of their old college, Queens & the reception took place a the Divinity Schools. Dinner, speeches & dancing was in the fabulous marquee (supplied by Good Intents) & was nestled between the quintessentially Oxford Sheldonian and the Bodleian Library. Isobel Lamplough’s wedding planning (Isobel Weddings) was second to none & a totally inspired interpretation of Sara & Tim’s brief for the evening ... ‘a nightclub in a library’. Sara wore a beautifully detailed dress by Caroline Castigliano which was complimented by Tim’s perfectly tailored stylish look. Sara’s hair and make-up was created by the immeasurably talented Claire Hanson & the opulent & richly beautiful flowers were created by Emma Walker Flowers. The delicious looking & tasting cake was made by the fabulous Janet Mohapi-Banks. It was without doubt the wettest wedding of the year but with all the luxurious, magical, twinkly settings it was an Oxford winter wedding at it’s very best. Tim & Sara thank you for being so relaxed & lovely to be with on the day.
