Wedding fashion Shoot..

I had a great time last week shooting models Jane and Natalie. The theme was hair with a vintage feel. Vintage is big for 2011!

Styling was by Amanda Jennings a freelance hairdresser from Penrith who I have enjoyed working with on weddings here in Cumbria. The very talented miliner Sara Gadd gave us some hair pieces that are very in at the moment including a bird cage veil that I loved! If any of you bride's are looking to buy one you can purchase one from Sara who hand crafts everything herself!

Jane wearing a vintage wedding dress bird cage veil and her bouquet is also on a vintage theme by the highly creative team at Vandella.







Natalie wearing a large bow comb with pearl theme. Nat's short hair was given a more sculpted look.
Natalie wears a lily head dress and fur vintage coat.





Thanks girls. I am really looking forward to working with you all again throughout this year!

Sam & Monica...a simplistic romantic spring wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing the lovely Monica and Sam's wedding last Friday.

I have known Sam and Monica since they were kids. (I must be getting old) So it was so nice to see them arrive at the Kingdom Hall in Carlisle with all of their family and friends gathered to see them be married.

The day started out at Monica's parent's home where Monica's sister's helped her get ready for her big day. Her dress looked lovely as did her vintage themed fur, shoes and flowers.





Outside there were some lovely doorways and period features that I incorporated into the photos.



Monica and her father Robert arriving...



During the ceremony there was a little difficulty getting the ring on!



Afterwards we returned to Monica's parents where guests and family enjoyed champagne. We just managed to get outside for some romantic photographs before a heavy downpour of rain!



The gardens had a rustic french feel which made for some great backgrounds..



Although I would say Monica and Sam are quite a shy couple the camera loved them!



Monica on her own.. loving this one!



After family photographs had been taken, the guests enjoyed a vintage style afternoon tea.



Hope you have had a lovely time in Edinburgh. Everyone is looking forward to your second party this week!
Watch more of their lovely wedding on their SLIDESHOW!
