Gaynes Park Wedding Photography - Caroline & Paul

I first met Caroline when she was a bridesmaid at Claire & Olly's wedding at Great Fosters in 2008. So it was extra special to photograph her winter wedding to Paul at All Saints Church, Theydon Garnon and their reception at Gaynes Park, Epping.

There were many things about their wedding that I loved, from the make up by the talented Antonia at Elle Au Naturel Caroline's gorgeous dress by Pronovia to her RED shoes (yes red, I was in shoe heaven!).  

I also LOVED everything about Gaynes Park, who coincidently had just won best venue for the East of England region in the Wedding Industry Awards.  I can absolutely see why, not only were the staff super helpful, but from the beautiful gardens to the Orangery, to the Mill Barn all were perfect as a background for wedding photography.

Big thanks to Caroline & Paul and their friends and family for the perfect wedding to finish 2011!

p.s. special mention must go to their videographer Dan from From the Hip , thanks for both the lighting assistance and for being so easy to work with on the day!

Blink Photography's Nonsuch Mansion Wedding featured on The Design Notebook!

You will see from the last few posts how excited we get to be featured on wedding blogs.  So imagine how we felt to be featured on The Design Notebook, our recent Nonsuch Mansion bride, Nadines' very own blog!  Nadine is hugely creative and talented, as you can see from her own wedding, where most of the details were designed and created by her and hubby Dave.  She now has her own blog and shop (via Etsy), where she is showcasing and selling some of her wonderful creations as well as providing musings about beautiful and stylish design and other things that interest her.

She also very kindly says on her blog:- 

"The one person that made our day truly unforgettable is Emma, from Blink Photography. Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures that will stay with us forever!"  

Awww, thanks Nadine and thanks again for the lovely post x

Pembroke Lodge Wedding Photography - Jo & Richards' Wedding

Jo & Richard's stylish wedding took place at St Mary Magdalen's church in Mortlake, with their reception at the fabulous Pembroke Lodge, Richmond.  Jo's dress was super glamorous and she actually designed it herself with a wedding dress designer. I particularly loved how it worked with the Spanish style veil.  

Jo & Richard were very keen to make the most of Pembroke's beautiful grounds as you can see from the various locations in their portraits.  I think it was worth the pain of trekking for miles in those heels Jo, as you can see from this preview of images...
