* St Sarkis Armenian Church, Kensington & Lillibrooke Manor, Maidenhead * Shermayne & Nick's Wedding Photography *

Our first wedding of the year was Shermayne & Nick's Wedding at St Sarkis Armenian Church, Kensington, followed by their reception at Lillibrooke Manor, Maidenhead.  

At Blink Photography we are always excited by a different kind of ceremony and the Armenian service did not disappoint!  We loved the chaos at the crowded church, our unprecedented access for taking photographs and the crowning of King Nick and Queen Shermayne (yes really, King & Queen for the day!). 

We also loved the amazing colours at the wedding, from the red, purple, green's and blues of the ladies Sari's to the beautiful pink of Shermayne's bouquet.  Lastly we adored the Super Hero theme of the reception, from the table planner to that amazing cake (who got to eat Spiderman by the way?!).  

Here are some of our favourite images from the day...

365 Project - January

Whilst most of my work is as a Wedding Photographer, I think it's really important to take influence from different areas such as film, music video's and art, so I go the cinema and art galleries frequently (not exactly a hardship!). I also try to shoot as many personal projects as possible, but sometimes find it's hard to fit this in with the day to day running of the business.  So this year I decided to sign up to the 365 project. It basically means for a year I have to take and then publish a photograph every single day. The image can be of anything, and will mostly be whatever I come across in everyday life!  Here's what I took in January...

Marble Hill Twickenham * Pre Wedding Photoshoot * Shermayne & Nick

I'm so excited about my first wedding of the year, which is Shermayne and Nick's February wedding at St Sarkis Armenian Church Kensington with their reception at Lillibrooke Manor, Cox Green.  Our pre wedding shoot should have been just before Christmas, but unfortunately Shermayne & Nick's car broke down on the way and they had to be towed home :(  Our shoot finally took place at Marble Hill Park with only one small incident that involved a low flying bird and Nicks jacket!  Here are some of my favourite shots...

Dartmouth House, London, Wedding Photographer - Kwok & Keiko's Wedding

Finally, here it is (insert drum roll!). Kwok and Keiko's wedding from Dartmouth House in Mayfair.  At Blink Photography there were so many things we loved about Kwok & Keiko's wedding, from the gorgeous suite where they got ready in the Chesterfield hotel, Keiko's amazing make up & hair artist (who followed us round Hyde Park retouching when necessary!), the three hours prior to the ceremony they allowed us for Bride & Groom portraits (yup 3 hours and it raced by!), Kevin the most laid back but efficient best man, the simply stunning Dartmouth House with it's many beautiful rooms and that stunning marble staircase, the emotional ceremony and last but not least Kwok and Keiko and their lovely, friendly family and friends, thanks for allowing us to be part of your day!

I'm blogging quite a few more photos than normal, there were just so many to pick from and this is my last wedding of 2010 ...
