Wedding Catering

I was recently invited into the kitchen at the HQ of top London wedding and events caterers Bovingdons. I’ve been fortunate to work alonside them on many weddings but this was the first time I’d been given the opportunity to capture some of their deliscious creations under more controlled circumstances.

So starting net week I’m going to be publishing some of my favourite photographs from the shoot here on my blog.

If you’re currently on a New Year’s resolution diet then this isn’t the place for you!

Wedding Photography Trends 2012

wedding photography trends

I was recently in conversation with Wedding Planner Bernadette Chapman from Dream Occasions and she was asking me my opinion on wedding photography trends for the coming year.

I identified three items that for me would be prominent in the coming year and you can read about them on the Dream Occasions blog.

Wedding Photography at Claridges in London

Winter weddings always have a special look to them especially at Christmas and especially when the wedding venue is Claridges in London.

Abbé and Scott held their wedding ceremony on the 27th of December in the elegant French Salon at Claridges. The room was looking beautiful with displays of white hydrangeas and orchids, created by Euphoric Flowers andcomplimented with white chairs. The day was organised by wedding planners The Bespoke Wedding Company.

As you can see from the photographs we captured, Claridges is a wedding venue with many gorgeous areas to photograph; we used the bride’s room, the ballroom and the main reception to produce some stunning images.

It was a dry day so we also managed to drive down to Horseguards Parade where, with the help of some very nice Met police officers, we took  shots of the bride and groom with their very nice Rolls Royce Phantom.

Abbé’s beautiful dress was originally designed by her mother, Ann, who wore it at her own wedding nearly 40 years ago! Abbé wore it with a pair of bridal shoes from Jimmy Choo.
