Torre Bassano Italy wedding, emotional groom speech, chic Italian bride

Annalisa and Marc originally planned a big wedding in London but decided to change plans to Italy instead! Bride Anni and her family are Italian and it was their dream to be get married in Anni’s native country. So after a legal ceremony in London, they went full steam ahead with their destination wedding.

From our initial video call and subsequent emails and messages, we hit if off straight away and I was inspired and in awe of their bond and love. Their love is deep rooted in friendship, shared values and strong family bonds. I knew their wedding would reflect their easy going, fun and kind nature.

They hosted their friends and family at the beautiful Villa Carafa De Cillis and the wedding celebrations at Torre Bassano on the coast. Despite the hot sun and strong winds during the ceremony, it was a truly heartfelt and emotional ceremony. Led by celebrant Valentina, who did a wonderful job at translating the ceremony and sharing Anni and Marc’s story. The readings from the couple’s mum and bride’s uncle was tearful and beautiful.

The celebrations continued with a delicious seven course dinner and speeches outdoors as the sunset. Dolce Vita Orchestra brought the high energy music and party vibes, with everyone dancing the night away.

Thank you so much Anni and Marc for having me!

Chic and modern wedding editorial, The Old Marylebone Town Hall London

My talented friend Lynn Shapiro photography held a micro wedding photography workshop at The Old Marylebone Town Hall in London. It was an intimate session with a few photographers and I was there to capture behind the scenes of the session.

The Old Marylebone Town hall is such an iconic venue in London, the marble staircase and columns outside are perfect for couple photos after you've said your 'I do's!'

Stylish and luxurious Cliveden House wedding, custom gown and prada accessories

Sally and Brian travelled with their families and friends from New York and Asia to the stunning Cliveden House in Berskhire for their exquiste UK wedding. From being friends in high school to reconnecting later on at college, Sally finally gave Brian a chance and now almost 10 years later, they're married!

The details and vision of their elegant and stylish wedding was truly awe inspiring, from the amazing florals - gorgeous burgundy dahlias, luxurious tablescape and stationary designed by the bride’s sister.

Bride Sally has an great eye for style and fashion, she designed her gown herself with her friend and it was perfectly chic and understated. She elevated the gown with with a deconstructed Prada necklace attached to the back of her gown and white Prada kitten heels - a perfect blend of feminine and modern.

Sally and Brian chose to have a first look, a quiet intimate moment for them to see each other on their wedding day and admire their chic attire before seeing all their guests at the ceremony.

They had a beautiful oudoor ceremony conducted by the bride's uncle and their personalised vows was a joy to witness. The speeches were full of heartfelt words and humorous anecdotes. Their guests brought all the fun and good vibes and the party was well in full swing as the sun set.

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.
