Sarah & Dean’s Wedding at Marylebone Town Hall, London

Bunting, Pageants, Jubilation….all for Sarah & Dean!

It’s always interesting when a country bumpkin like me gets to travel beyond the fields and cow poo smells.  Wide eyed and full of wonder I arrived early at Marylebone Town Hall and entertained myself by sitting on the steps outside by the stone lions, watching the crazy hustle and bustle.  The wedding party suddenly arrived by Taxi and Routemaster Bus, the bride beating the groom by a good five minutes, go girl!

We made our way to the elegant Yellow Room for the ceremony.  Knowing that Liam Gallagher had TWICE married in this very room made me wonder(wall) if I’d feel his presence still.  Happily not.  The room in fact was filled with anticipation as two families prepared to join together with Sarah & Dean leading the way.  As the ceremony commenced Dean couldn’t hold back the tears.  Of course that set me off (man + tears = me blubbing) and I had to blink my way through their vows.  Suddenly the girls became sisters and the boys became brothers. Hugs, kisses and smiles all round.

Back on the bus, we journeyed to St. Katharine’s Docks and arrived at the intimate, sublime Riverlounge Italian.  Flags flying and bunting flapping in the breeze, the setting certainly befitted such a great celebration.  The icing on the cake was….the cake. Drum roll….a Choccywoccydoodah Cake no less!  Created in Brighton and lovingly, carefully shipped up to London, the cake was Sarah & Dean’s main reason for getting married. Well, that and the fact that they were meant to be together and clearly love each other more than…cake!  I am sad to say I didn’t get to sample it but am considering a divorce/remarry same man scenario to enable this.  I really, really LOVED this day!

Baby & Family Portrait Session in the Studio

Mia Casts a Spell

Meeting Mia for the first time in the studio was unforgettable. With her exquisite mix of Edward Scissorhands hair and the face of a cherub from above, little Mia cast a spell on me from the outset. Mummy & Daddy are under that spell too and I can see wonderful times ahead for this happy little family. Got a feeling this little gal is going to make a big difference to the world….

Fun on the Farm!

Charles & Fleur

I was lucky enough to be able to join Charles and Fleur for some silly time at their beautiful home in Buckinghamshire.  They were kind enough to show me how to make mud pies, run around like crazy things, hug trees, wave sticks and generally be gorgeous.  This dinky brother and sister team made me very welcome and I felt it only right to act like a five year old too. I don’t need much of an excuse. Thanks to all the family for inviting me to join you and I am so proud to know that in designing your family portrait album I have created an heirloom to pass down the generations.  See you in a couple of years for some more Fun on the Farm!

Ladies take your seat – The Throne is Unveiled!

This wasn’t the first trip these two adorable little girls have made to my studio, they know the ropes.  But it was the first time they’d got to be princesses sitting on a throne!  My gorgeous new chair had it’s first encounter with miniature people and I must say, the little ladies looked very much at home on it.  They’d even had a pamper session at the hairdressers before coming to the studio.  You see, their mummy wasn’t sure how to do French plaits so I gave her a little lesson on my resident model – husband Glenn.  He does have his uses, mainly as a Barry Gibb Looky Likey.  Well done Polly & Lucy, so lovely to see you again.

An Autumn walk in the countryside – in shirtsleeves?

[slideshow id=10]

 

Something strange is happening this October – we had beautiful blue skies and eighteen degrees of warm sunshine on our backs.  With perfect conditions for a stroll through the fields, Lottie bounded around in ditches and hedgerows, while Sam recovered from a poke in the eye from Ben. Then Sam chuckled to himself when Ben squelched his Converse into a fresh cowsplat. We had lots of fun on our little walk and it was a true pleasure to join this happy family on their warm, sunny Saturday afternoon.
