A weekend off... at a wedding!

This Saturday I was a bridesmaid at the wedding of our good friends Olivia & Chris.  In order to fully focus on my bridesmaid role (ie holding the bouquet, drinking champagne...) we left the official photographs in the hands of Caroline White (who also took our wedding pictures - as we get asked very frequently!).

That's not to say that we didn't sneak in a few pictures here and there!

Here's me and the bride in the morning

Sujatha & Family

Last week we hung out with Sujatha & her family for a few relaxed family portraits.  Such a lovely family, they suffered through the sweltering heat and never failed to look happy!

You may remember a few of the models from a few weeks ago when we had an extremely rainy portrait session!

Nicola & Jamie

We spent yesterday photographing Nicola and Jamie's awesome wedding.  They are an adorable couple and their wedding was full of personal touches.  They also knew exactly how they wanted their big day to be - relaxed!  There was a wonderful jovial atmosphere, and because they didn't want any 'formal' pictures we were free to try and capture it!

 

Nicola's dress was fabulous (and so heavy it broke the hanger!)

The first dance was followed by the most brilliant father/daughter dance we've ever seen!  It all started very sweetly, accompanied by 'The way you look tonight'...

When suddenly the track changed to 'I believe in a thing called love' by the Darkness....

...to which Nic and her Dad did a BRILLIANT choreographed routine!
