Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I will be taking some time off to eat mince pies and drink the odd glass of something bubbly, hope you are too? Have a good one!

Islington Town Hall & Kettners, Soho - Steph & Michael's London Wedding

It was sunny, but freeeezing cold for Steph & Michael's wedding day, but as it had been chucking it down for what seemed like weeks, this actually seemed like a good thing.

I can't begin to explain, how much I loved how Steph & Michael had brought their own sense of style to their wedding, from Steph's gorgeous Candy Anthony dress, to the red Cadillac and old green Bus, to the beautiful details at the reception (showcasing Michael's fabulous graphics and his talent for making lamps!). All of this set in the perfect background of Islington Town Hall and one of my favourite bars in London, Kettners in Soho.

So with thanks to Katie at Kettners for all her help and with love to Steph & Michael, two of the nicest people you could ever want to meet, here are a few favourites from the day...

St Raphaels Church, Kingston & Pembroke Lodge, Richmond - Ana & Blagoye's Wedding

Considering all the terrible rain we've had the last few weeks (well all year really) we were pretty lucky with the grey and damp day we had for Ana & Blagoye's wedding. Their ceremony was at the stunning St Raphael's Roman Catholic Church in Kingston and their reception at Pembroke Lodge. I was thrilled at how Autumnal Pembroke Lodge was looking, the colours were so pretty. The downside of all the rain was that Ana did have to trek over some pretty damp grass to get the shots below, it turned her shoes a slightly fetching shade of green, which I'm not sure was the look she was after! Hope you'll agree it was worth it :)

Blink Photography Recommended Suppliers at Nonsuch Mansion, Cheam!

I've made no secret in the past how much I love Nonsuch Mansion as a wedding venue. From it's pretty bride's room for getting ready, to it's beautiful Rose and Orchid rooms for ceremonies and receptions, all beautifully decorated in keeping with the elegant Georgian mansion which is set in 300 acres of sumptuous parkland. 

I also love the friendly and helpful staff and don't even get me started on the food. All of which means I'm a very happy bunny to have been added to their list of recommended suppliers.  Looking forward to lots of bookings for next year!

The Natural Wedding Company - Laura & Charlie's Wedding Featured!

I always get really excited when we feature on a blog, so I did a little dance when I heard that the Natural Wedding Company wanted to feature Laura & Charlie's Silchester House wedding on theirs. 

The Natural Wedding Company feature weddings that are full of handmade details, eco-friendly elements, vintage touches or weddings that reflect the seasons.  They are also there to help you plan a wedding using the best quality suppliers who have the environment at their heart. Laura herself used a number of the wedding companies recommended on the site, including Jay Archer whose beautiful flowers feature prominently in the article.

A big thanks to Charlie at the Natural Wedding Company for the fab feature and to Laura & Charlie for helping with all the information and allowing us to use their images.

St Elizabeths RC Church, Richmond, Richmond River Cruise & The Carlton Mitre Hotel, Hampton Court - Laura & Peter

Laura & Peter's wedding took place at St Elizabeth's RC Church in Richmond, it was an icebreaker of a service (the Priest not only mixed their names up, but also the service followed a completely different order of service to the one everyone else had and we won't mention the Honeymoon comment!).  We then all walked down to Richmond riverside where the Queen Elizabeth took us on a two hour river cruise to Hampton Court and their reception venue, the Carlton Mitre hotel.  Being a local girl, I was pretty excited to take the river through my neighbourhood. Being on the boat was great for photographs, even though it was exceptionally bright and sunny, not bad for October ;)

Here are my favourites from the day...
