Francesca & Steffan’s wedding celebrations at Avington Park were full of love and laughter. It was one of those simply authentic English country weddings.

Their ceremony took place at nearby St Mary’s Church, Easton and Francesca and Steffan arrived at Avington in style on a beautiful classic motorboat. Avington has been hosting kings and royal courtiers for centuries and it’s no wonder it’s the perfect setting for a summer wedding. With a Bridgerton vibe it’s definitely become one of our favourite English party palaces!

Francesca & Steffan were the perfect couple, and their friends and family had the best time. Champagne on the lawn, wedding breakfast in the Orangery and dancing the night away in the Versailles Ballroom.

It’s a timeless fairytale setting with stunning views and breath-taking formal gardens so it’s no wonder Marion and Peter fell in love with it.

Marion & Peter were married at St Mary and All Saints Church, Beaconsfield before returning to Cliveden in a classic Jaguar E-Type. They greeted their guests on the South Terrace before partying the night away.

Anyone hosting a wedding at Aynhoe Park is looking for something a little different for saying “I do.”

A stunning 17^th century private home deep in the Cotswolds with the most eccentric and divine décor you could ever dream up. Imagine walking into an Alice in Wonderland home… and that’s pretty much how it feels.

It is the most extraordinary experience the minute you walk in the door. Being greeted at the front entrance by a huge majestic unicorn says a lot in itself! It’s crazy and fantastical all at once and for anyone wanting somewhere a little different for their wedding celebration there is no better place.

We absolutely loved Lauren & Sami’s wedding. They are the warmest and most in love couple ever. So easy to spend time with – documenting their gorgeous story was one of our favourites. Crazy from start to finish…stylish…sparkly…and so much fun!

Aynhoe Park is no longer available for hire but be sure to check out Parnham Park. Parnham is the exciting new venture from James and Sophie Perkins who were the genius creatives behind Aynhoe.

A Colourful Cliffside Capri Wedding

Bridal dress: Halfpenny London & Galvan London

Laura & Tom’s love story is like something from a romantic novel right from the start.

Laura, a model was living in London and was renting one of the rooms in her apartment.

Tom, an investment banker, raised in Sydney Australia, applied for the vacancy.

They fell in love almost instantly, and within 3 weeks of meeting, Laura had told Tom she was going to marry him.

Almost two years to the day of their first date, Tom and Laura tied the knot at Lido del Faro beach club in Capri, Italy. Their vision for their wedding was to be full of energy, fun, colour, surprises and amazing performers.

Laura wore the most effortlessly chic halter-neck dress from Halfpenny London, made from Italian silk paired with a veil featuring silk organza flowers, Aquazzura heels and stunning pearl earrings.

Their incredibly romantic ceremony overlooked the ocean, followed by a poolside cocktail reception.

In true Italian style, they dined on Aperol Spritz, antipasta and local fish with tiramisu and espresso martinis for dessert. Their cake – Amalfi lemon and mascarpone!

Their night was filled with entertainment, confetti cannons shooting pink and purple metallic hearts, and crazy dancing well into the early hours.

This has to be one of my favourite stories ever to have the pleasure to document.

Sophie & Lyndon wanted to give their family and friends an adventure – and my goodness, did they do just that.

A luxury 3-day safari wedding that transported everyone on an extraordinary and magical experience the moment they stepped onto the private plane from UK. A fleet of hoppers then took them deep into the Serengeti plains of Tanzania and onto The Four Seasons Hotel for a truly spectacular multiple day celebration.

Waking up to the distant roar of lions, dancing with The Masai Warriors, safaris at dawn, sundowners around the campfires, intimate poolside acoustic sessions lit by fairy-lights, and saying “I do” in the most beautiful ceremony overlooking the vast African plains. This was a wedding story that dreams are made of. Most certainly mine.

Lucy & Max’s wedding was one of the most fun and beautiful stories we’ve had the honour of being a part of. Planned to perfection by the incredible team at Snapdragon Parties, every detail was carefully considered to create the most magical day.

Taking place deep in the Kent countryside at Lucy’s parent’s home, they began with an intimate ceremony in the rose garden that had been designed by Lucy’s late grandmother, followed by a relaxed drinks reception on the front lawn with tipis and games for the kids.

Dinner followed with rustic wooden tables, wild trailing foliage and candles to create the perfect laid-back outdoor dining experience. As the sun went down, fire-pits were lit and the surrounding wooded glades were transformed into a magical twinkly wonderland. Dancing, a personalized cocktails bar and more dancing late into the night made this day never wanting to end.

From my very first conversation with Taylor, I knew her wedding was going to be pretty awesome.

As a young child, Taylor had dreamed of getting married at the iconic and luxury London hotel, Claridge’s. The mirrored ballroom reminded her of Cinderella, so when she and JJ got engaged, they didn’t even need to consider any other venue for their reception.

The style for their wedding was classic, sleek, luxurious and timeless glamour with white, black and gold as their key colours through all their styling.

Taylor wore a custom-designed backless Galia Lahav dress with a dramatic long fishtail skirt and paired with Christian Louboutin shoes signed by the designer himself.

A 10-person choir for their ceremony at London’s stunning Farm Street Church, a 14-tier wedding cake, sensational draping flowers, and so much thought put into every tiny detail of the day made Taylor & JJ’s wedding day quite simply extraordinary. It was epic and it was beautiful.

And so, so, much fun to document!

Romantic French Riviera Wedding at Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

Nadine & Will chose to have their wedding at Villa Ephrussi, known to be one of the most iconic and romantic villas in the heart of the French Riviera. With breath-taking views over the Mediterranean sea, the villa has become known not simply for its characteristic pink coloured walls, but for its jaw-droppingly beautiful gardens and stylish architecture.

Their incredibly personal ceremony took place in the gardens in the warm golden tones of the evening sun. Close family members gave readings, and the ceremony ended with the release of two perfectly white doves. Cocktail drinks on the terrace followed and then dinner on the main lawn overlooking the fountain.

Guests were then invited inside for dancing late into the early hours of the morning. It was an unforgettable and truly romantic celebration.
