Claire & Tor’s wedding at Highclere Castle

Yesterday we were at Highclere Castle, near Newbury for the wedding of Claire and Tor. Barrie was photographing and Bev was filming the day for them. It was a gorgeous and fun day even with the drizzly rain that continued throughout. The wedding had a feeling of classic elegance and the Castle and Marquee had been beautifully decorated throughout. Claire looked amazing in her handmade dress during the day then in the evening she changed into an equally stunning Elie Saab dress for the reception, which was rocking to the sound of 10 piece party band Blue Groove. It was a pleasure for us to be back at Highclere, which is run impeccably by Michelle and her team. We wish Claire and Tor every happiness in their married life.

Alina & Jan’s wedding at The Mandarin Oriental Knightsbridge

Alina & Jan were married yesterday at Holy Trinity Church and then went on to their reception at The Mandarin Oriental Knightsbridge. Alina looked stunning in her Vera Wang dress and didnt let the heavy showers dampen her spirt. Even after all the rain she still wanted to go over to Hyde Park to get some photos with her new husband Jan.

Thanks to all at The Mandarin Oriental for being so helpful, Lara Akka at Organise Events for wedding planning, and the trio of singers from Incognito.
