What a year it has been, full of joy and of laughter, a number of weddings, a few happily ever afters, some sunshine, some airports, some beautiful times, some singing, some dancing with champagne and wine, three hundred and sixty five days I have seen, a thank you to you, here’s to 2013…
Aside from the weddings, there’s been time to just be, to dust off the Contax and to take photos for me…
What a great year it was and how happy I’ve been, here’s hoping it’s even better, in 2014.
I knew I would love Alex & Chris when we first spoke on the phone early last year. They’re designers and run their own studio, We Three Club, so I was very excited to see how much of their personalities they would bring to their wedding and when Alex told me she’d be wearing a vintage dress, I was in. They booked me right there and then on the phone without even needing to meet me, which for me is always a huge compliment. She also totally out-quiffed me with her gorgeous hair, scoring an easy 10/10 in the style stakes.
One sunny weekend in summer, Lisa & Rory got married in the tiny little village of Hurley at the beautiful Olde Bell Inn. They started the weekend with a picnic and rolled out the blankets for an evening bbq for all of their guests. It was quite the occasion.
I flew all the way to Italy, to picture these two get wed and I cried at the sheer beauty, of the sweet things this groom said. Their public declaration on the Amalfi coast that day, filled me up with so much happiness, an utterly perfect wedding in May. Just thirty of their closest friends, gathered together to witness this, four earnest hands held together closed tight, two vows and that first kiss.
An achingly cool London wedding full of fun and laughter at the marvellous MC Motors in East London
One day in October, in the centre of town, Amy & Duncan got ready, arrived and said vows. Before friends and their family, their loved ones and mates, they made a promise of union and an unending date. They kissed and we clapped, a tear may have been shed, they drank and they laughed, as do newlyweds. An evening of celebration and of wishing them well, my hundred or so favourites, their short story they tell.
A very pretty year indeed. Beautiful work so full of smiles. Happy New Year to you!
Cannot wait for you to photograph our wedding if these are anything to go by!
