Robyn and Ben were married in the Orangery of the Grade 1 listed Palladian mansion of Moor Park in Hertfordshire.

 

 

The bridesmaids wait for Robyn in ‘dusty shale’ chiffon dresses by J Crew.

 

 

Robyn arrived in a dress by Sassi Holford, and she teamed it with her great grandmother’s veil.

 

 

 

Her hair and make up was done by Kit at Slap.

 

ww

 

 

 

Robyn and Ben eschewed the traditional motor and set off around the grounds in a ‘golfing buggy’ thoughtfully provided by the team at Moor Park.

 

 

 

 

ww

ww

 

 

 

During the drinks reception the guests took turns at croquet on the lawn…

 

 

…and afterwards everyone moved into the house for dinner.

 

 

A dress code of hats and contrasting eyewear was strictly enforced.

From there, she and her family travelled the short distance to Prism London – the Harvey Nicholls owned restaurant occupying the former Bank of New York building on Leadenhall St in the heart of the City of London.

ww

ww

ww

ww

After the service ALex and Tim stepped over the road to Leadenhall Market…

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

…and joined their guests for drinks at The New Moon.

ww

ww

There Alex delighted her guests by pulling pints behind the bar…

ww

ww

…before heading back to Prism for dinner.

ww

ww

ww

ww

Ashley wore a suit by Paul Smith…

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

Marco Pierre White created the menu of smoked salmon, and beef Wellington, which was followed by Summer fruit jelly.

ww

ww

The flowers inside The Belvedere were also by Mary Jane Vaughan.

ww

The walls of the Deco inspired interior were adorned with Andy Warhol screen prints of Marilyn Monroe, and a butterfly painting by Damian Hirst (out of shot).

ww

“…You’ve given us so many wonderful photos, not just of us, but also our family, friends and the beautiful surroundings. I cannot tell you how grateful and impressed we are, they are perfect and I know we’ll relive the day many times over looking through the photos again and again! We couldn’t have asked for a more professional, friendly, laid back and talented photographer, thank you so very much. You charmed many of the guests too, they all loved meeting you and commented on how fun and amazingly unobtrusive you were. Yet to have managed to have captured everything is quite a skill! Thank you thank you thank you! Now to try and narrow down to 160 photos for the book… No idea how! …Thank you again for all your hard work. We are very grateful.” Matt and Alice

 

Alice and Matt were married at St John The Baptist Church, and held their reception at Penshurst Place.

 

 

Their guests met up at the nearby Leicester Arms for lunch and refreshment.

 

 

Alice arrived by car, having got ready at the Hotel du Vin in Tunbridge Wells.

 

ww

 

ww

 

 

ww

ww

 

 

ww

 

 

ww

 

 

The happy couple were dogged at every turn by the ever present paparazzi…

 

ww

 

ww

 

 

Matt and Alice were driven the short distance to Penshurst Place by car.

 

 

Meanwhile their guests, equipped with flip flops thoughtfully provided by the ushers, took a short cut through adjoining meadows…

 

ww

 

ww

 

ww

 

 

 

ww

 

ww

 

 

ww

ww

 

ww

 

 

As the evening sun dipped below the horizon…

 

 

…everyone stepped into the Baron’s Hall for dinner.

 

 

We recommended Gemma Sutton to Alice for hair and make-up, after working with her at Louise’s wedding at Fulham Palace.

 

 

Later everyone piled onto the dance floor.

 

ww

 

wwww

 

 

 

 

ww

 

 

Then everyone stepped outside into the warm night air…

 

 

A fireworks display provided an appropriate finale…

 

ww

 

 

…and an ‘avenue of fire’ was lit to send the couple off into the night.

 

Photographs from Victoria and Deane’s wedding at the ICA due April 2013…

Bethany and Philip held their wedding at St James’s Church, Sussex Gardens, London W2, followed by a reception at The Langham on Portland Place, London W1.

Bethany dressed for her wedding in her room at The Langham.

ww

ww

Her farther escorted her from the hotel…

…by car to church.

ww

The Reverend Paul Thomas conducted the marriage service.

ww

ww

ww

ww

After the service the couple were driven by car to The Langham, and they arranged for red Routemaster London buses to transport their guests.

They walked out for a short photographic session on the streets…

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

…and then walked up the steps of the main entrance into the Palm Court….

In the Ballroom tables were laid for dinner.

And after speeches…

ww

…the dancing commence.

ww

“Thank you so much for sending the photo cd through. We both loved going through them and reliving the day all over again! The photos really do capture the joy of the day. Many thanks again, we really do love the photos.” Rosie and Simon

We started alongside the River Thames at The Bingham in Richmond Upon Thames…

Rosie chose a textured and uneven posy of akito roses, ivory spray roses, lily of the valley, white lisianthus and white freesia.

Alexis Daley did hair and make up for Rosie who wore her hair in soft curls partly held up by small pearl hair clips.

ww

The bridesmaids wore coral strapless full length dresses.

Over in Holland Park, London W8, the groom and guests waited at The Orangery.

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

Rosie wore a soft fishtail ivory dress with vintage French Chantilly lace over satin by Suzanne Neville.

ww

After the service Rosie and Simon held a drinks reception for their guests, in the gardens surrounding The Orangery.

ww

ww

ww

Later, everyone hopped aboard red Routemaster London buses for the journey to Richmond…

…where they alighted at The Bingham.

ww

We made a few informal group photos…

…and enjoyed garden games.

ww

ww

Rosie and Simon took five minutes out to stroll along the tow path alongside the Thames…

ww

ww

ww

ww

They loved the position of The Bingham on the river and the view from the garden. They were looking for a venue with a classic feel but contemporary style paired with a sense of green space. The Bingham was the first and only venue that they looked at!

London park names with personal memories were used to identify the various tables.

ww

The guests were asked to provide photos of themselves when younger, which were then used as place names, and the full set was displayed as a ‘table plan’.

ww

ww

ww

Cocktails were prepared for a reception on the terrace to follow the wedding breakfast.

ww

ww

As dusk fell, fairy lights strewn amongst the trees started to glow.

ww

Fountain candles added to the atmosphere.

ww

ww

…and then everyone crowded inside for the dancing.

ww

ww

“Many thanks again for all your help and blending in so well with all the guests on the day.” Alice

Alice arrived by car for her wedding at Farm Street Church in Mayfair…

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

Alice and Simon travelled together to The Lanesborough on Hyde Park Corner where they hosted dinner for their guests.

“We still get many comments on what a wonderful photographer Nick was to have at the wedding!” Gemma

The chaps held their ushers lunch at The Earl of March in Lavant, near Chichester, and despite the organisational spread sheet provided by Michael…

…after a few convivial drinks – a sprint to the church was required.

Meanwhile all was calm at the bride’s mother’s house.

ww

Gemma arrived at St Mary’s Church, East Lavant wearing a dress from The Vintage Wedding Dress Company.

ww

ww

Gemma’s hairpiece was from Glitzy Secrets.

ww

Gemma and Michael left together by car for Farbridge Barn at West Dean, near Chichester.

Tealight lanterns hanging from mistletoe strewn Winter twigs decorated the tables.

A sparse twig motif was continued on the menus.

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

Guests held aloft the table names to assist others to find their places. Favourite ski resorts extended the Winter theme.

ww

ww

Guests adapted the mistletoe table arrangements to their own needs…

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

ww

Outside fairy lights strung through silver birch trees sparkled like stars in the night.
