Nicole & Michael

Nicole & Michael booked me for a post/TTD shoot. They were married in Israel 2 months ago & due to time constraints on their wedding day wanted some extra special images of them both back in their wedding attire. They travelled up from sunny London to the wet cold north for their shoot, yes the shoot was booked for the day after we had terrible storms up here last week. Thankfully the day of the shoot was dry, however the sky was flat & grey! We had the odd shower but that didn't stop us getting some striking imagery.

Nicole's dress was designed by Hollywood dreams & WOW!!! What a dress!!!! I think you will agree she looks stunning!! So much so they have asked her to model their range at "The Wedding Show" at Earls Court in London this year.

Nicole is a make up artist & has worked in TV & film but is about to launch her new company which will be live in the very near future www.nicolelevy.com for any of you brides who wish to have the most adorable, fun loving, bubbly make up artist give you that perfect look on your wedding day, then make Nicole your first contact as I would highly recommend her!! :-)

I will be meeting up with Nicole again in October in London for another Trash the Dress shoot, which I really can't wait for as she has not only become a good friend but is fantastic to work with.

Here are some of my favourites from their shoot.

The Wedding of Emily & Michael - Doxford Hall - Northumberland

Emily & Michael couldn't have chosen a better location for their wedding, Doxford hall is a fabulous venue for any event especially a wedding and what great weather we had too!!

I arrived at 9.30am to shoot the bridal preparations. Fueled with plenty of coffee from Em's mum Christine I started my day with the dress, shoes & finer details. Soon after Amy, Eleanor & Jayne (the bridesmaids) arrived. While the girls were having their hair done I went off to find Michael & Mark (the bestman).

The ceremony was beautiful & when they both read out their vows I would imagine the entirety of the wedding party had a tear as I certainly did. The drinks reception was on the lawn in the walled gardens to the back of the Hall. Andrew Taylor the solo saxophonist played while the guests congratulated Emily & Michael.

Doxford Hall is full of places for great photo opportunities both inside & out & we took full advantage of this throughout the day.

Emily & Michael jetted off the following day to New York & then Vegas for their honeymoon & have promised if they win big in Vegas they will fly me out for their Trash the Dress shoot (fingers crossed you guys win then)!!!

Below are just a handful of the images taken from their wedding day.

Ange & Andy's Pre Wedding Shoot - Moor Park Mansion - Rickmansworth - London

We met at the venue for Ange & Andy's wedding & WOW what a venue!!! Moor Park mansion domiates acres of beautiful countryside in Rickmansworth. With outstanding huge corinthian columns & exceptional ornate fine art wrapping around the walls & ceilings, Moor Park Mansion really is an exquisite venue!!

Ange & Andy met over 2 years ago. Andy an ex-para was drawn to Ange when he was overseeing the I.T department move & well the rest is history!

The weather that day had to be the freakiest weather, one minute it was blue sky & sun & the next thick stormy clouds & heavy rain with thunder & lightening. I read in the following days paper, that day London had 3 months of rain fall in an afternoon.

I had a chat with Ange about the dress which sounds fabulous & I can't wait to see it! Ange has a great look & in the dress she described to me, she'll look out of this world!!

I look forward to meeting again at the end of this month for their wedding. Here are some of the images taken on their pre shoot.
