... the first time ever i saw ...

Every so often, someone comes along and redefines how you see the world around you. It could be the smallest of things, or it could be something as big as a city. Like London. And that's what happened when a couple of lovebirds flew all the way to London from Washington for their London-themed engagement shoot. To give their guests a clue about the location of their wedding next year, they decided to make their engagement portraits as British as you could get - Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, red phone booths, black cabs, London Eye, Westminster Bridge, the London Underground, Buckingham Palace - we photographed them all, on a glorious and sunny spring day! What was meant to be a two hour session turned into four, as we deliciously lost track of time, hopping from one place to another, on our very own urban adventure! And if their big beaming smiles were anything to go by, C + P loved every minute of it - and so did I! Thank you, C + P, for such a beautiful day! xxx  

 

... a hundred years ...

To celebrate the arrival of a little bubba for D+J only a few days ago, here is their wonderful wedding from June last year, hosted at the magnificent Hengrave Hall - a stunning Tudor mansion dating back to 1525 with plenty of character and history to satisfy the most avid of period-drama fans. Against an elegant and classic backdrop of white peonies and a layered Rosa Clara gown, D+J incorporated fun and colourful touches with a killer pair of blue Christian Louboutin shoes, personalised pastel-coloured favours made from vintage books, and a nod to D's Polish heritage with vodka shots served by bridesmaids in traditional Polish dress, which led to all guests joining in to sing an old Polish folk song "Sto Lat" to wish the newlyweds "100 years of happiness".
