Romantic blue and white wedding inspiration, Minley Manor

I have an elegant wedding editorial to share with you, set at Minley Manor in Surrey. Wedding planner Ana from The Wedding Bee organised and styled a romantic, classic and modern wedding. The clean white and blue colour scheme complimented the classic stationery, tablescape and delicate floral arrangements.

We were fortunate to have live music from Soph and Simon, who sang two acoustic sets, which worked beautifully in the video. The vocals really enhanced the romance of the day for our couple Will and Jess. They had an intimate ceremony conducted by celebrant Roxy, followed by cocktail making supplied by Near and Far mobile bar and a gorgeous tablescape setting for the wedding breakfast.

The floral arrangments included gypsophila and limonium with white roses and ruscus, which created an elegant and luxurious feel for the ceremony.

Bride Jess looked chic and elegant in the exquisite Martina Liana gowns supplied by Pure Coulture bridal, why have wedding dress when you can have two? The pearl accessories, embroidered veil and dusty blue suede heels added to the modern and classic styling of the shoot.

I hope this shoot inspires you for an elegant wedding with delicate and considered details.

Elegant Grove House Roehampton wedding, Korean bride

Seojin and Jeremy first met as colleagues in London and formed a friendship. It wasn't until two years later, they bumped into each other in New York and their friendship blossomed into romance. Jeremy planned the proposal at Blue Hill in Stone Barn, a beautiful restaurant outside of New York. After Seojin said yes and they were officially engaged, Jeremy had organised a surprise for Seojin by having their friends there to celebrant together.

Although living stateside, they planned their wedding with the help of Illy Elizabeth wedding planner. It was a joy to see all their friends and family come from the US and South Korea to celebrate their wedding, with a church service in South London followed by the reception at Grove House in Roehampton. It was an elegant and luxurious wedding with Seojin looking chic in her Newhite gown. She wowed her guests with a second dress in the evening in a gorgeous sparkly dress.

There were beautiful pastel florals decorated all through the venue, a string quartet during cocktail hour and Korean inspired gift bags for all their guests.

The day was filled with music and heartfelt speeches, including video messages from Seojin’s family in South Korea. The bride and groom even sang a song together during their speeches, much to their guests delight!

Bright and modern Spring wedding inspiration, Institute of Contemporary Arts, London

A bright and modern Spring inspired wedding, with lots of fresh colours! Set in a classic venue, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in the heart of London. The ICA provided bright and airy rooms for a reception and ceremony setup, with plenty of natural light coming in from the large glass doors.

This Spring shoot was styled and organised by Makeup by Sabina M and Abstract Events UK. The mix of citrus and coral tones, with the sleek bridal look and chic gown from Something Borrowed really suited the city setting.

I hope this shoot inspires modern couples with an eye for style, to embrace colour and minimal touches for their chic city wedding.

Chic London surprise wedding, Chelsea Old Town Hall

When Kay first got in touch and told me she and her fiance Charlie were planning a surprise wedding in Chelsea London, I was so excited to capture their special day and their guests reactions on the announcement! The couple had invited their family and closest friends to their engagement party at The Phene restaurant in Chelsea, all the while the couple were actually secretly getting married down the road at Chelsea Old Town Hall!

Myself and photographer Lynn was there with the couple to capture them with their families pre ceremony. I then arrived at The Phene where Kay’s best friend Kendra annouced to their guests the suprise. It was so fun to capture their joy and reactions! We all then made the short walk to the town hall to wait for the newly weds to come out to congratulate them and throw confetti. Kay had organised an addtional surprise for Charlie, by organising music by Joey Clarkson who sang “love is all we need” on the steps of the town hall. It truly was a special and intimate moment to capture and witness.

The couple and their guests continued the celebrations back at The Phene with speeches and the couple’s first dance. It was wonderful to see Kay's family join them from Canada and also their cute dog Boris join in the celebrations. The couple looked super chic and I'm obsessed with Kay's elegant Eva Lendral dress.

Their surprise wedding is a great reminder to follow your own rules when planning your day, to have fun and celebrate your wedding - your way.

This wedding is featured on Rock My Wedding.

Fun Spanish wedding, Casa La Siesta, Vejer

Daisy and Majid had the most epic wedding weekend at the beautiful boutique hotel Casa La Siesta in Vejer De La Fontera, Spain and it was an absolute honour to capture all the fun celebrations. I flew into Gibraltar airport late on Friday, and one hour later the best man George and I were dropped off in the lively town of Vejer, where Daisy and Majid were having their welcome drinks.

The next day I arrived at Casa La Siesta, Majid and his 12 groomsmen relaxing by the pool. Daisy and her girls were getting ready. Their friends were rehearsing their songs in the courtyard and the sun was shining. The fun and energetic vibes continued throughout the day and night with beautiful readings, speeches and performances - including an emotion rendition of “God Only Knows” when Daisy walked down the aisle. The singing continued with a flash mob of “Lovely Day” from their talented guests inlcuding Pixie Lott and Rachel Adedeji to name just a few. Later on, a crowd pleasing “Greatest Showman” performance by their talented friend Andy, who definitely got the guests dancing and on their feet.

Daisy and Majid's romance and lust for life is truly inspiring. They met whilst working together on the TV show Hollyoaks and it was a joy to capture their wedding celebrations in June.

Thank you Daisy and Maj for your kindness and positive energy. This was a highlight that I'll never forget, thank you for trusting me with your special day.

Special thanks to Robin Ramos photographer for the drone footage.
