Summer Fete { Vintage Wedding }

Whilst currently on maternity leave from my photography business I had a good friends wedding to attend.  I debated leaving my camera at home as to not get tempted into taking lots of shots and not spending time just 'being a guest' and also looking after my 2 1/2 week old baby....... I just couldn't do it though, the camera was packed in my small kit bag with my additional zoom lens hidden away in my baby changing bag, cushioned by nappies and muslin! - not my usual style!

I am so glad I did take my camera, I did get friends asking my why I had taken my camera when I am supposed to not be working - but to me you see its not just 'work' its my hobby, my passion.... I would have been more frustrated if I had seen all the lovely shots in my head and not been able to capture them.

Peggy and Jay had a fantastic day, family orientated and lots of attention to detail.  Yes I enjoyed myself as a guest but I also enjoyed being able to capture all the special moments for a close friend.

Here are some shots from the day....... the ceremony was at Towcester registry office with a reception at York House - Stony Stratford with catering and styling at the reception by the fantastic Maryanne from Jam and Tea who made the most fantastic cakes mmmmmm........

Congratulations to Jay and Peggy, you fab couple....... Please leave some love and a kind comment for my couple........................

The wedding can't go by without a little celebration, we decided to make cakes to help with our festivities.....

Couldn't help but capture them as we decided on a red, white and blue sparkley union Jack themed cupcake........

not sure how good they will taste ; )

I am fortunate to work with some great professionals when I photograph clients weddings.  Last year I met a lovely Bridal beauty therapist - Maria Canning from Tilly Rose who offers Bridal make-up & pre-wedding packages in/around Stratford upon Avon and the Cotswolds.


I was photographing Angela and Lee's Wedding and managed to help out capturing some shots of Maria at work and the end 'Make up' results.


Check out Maria's website if you are getting married in the area and need a great addition to your special day.


Heres how my photography looked on the day....

A Blooming Spring day......

Meet up with my 2 favorite photographers and head out for a mini shoot to find some blossom trees.... they are adorable at the moment and you have a really small window to shoot them before they start shedding their blossom....... although they may have had a little help (see below!)

Here are a selection of my favorites from the mini shoot...... even a rogue photographer gets in the shots! see if you can spot her ; )

Caught you........
