On Sunday I had the pleasure of covering my first Jewish wedding - and it was beautiful. What touched me the most is the amount of emotion and love you could see between the family members. The lovely thing was no one was afraid to show it, and even I felt choked up at times! The venue was the gorgeous Four Seasons in Hampshire, with the ceremony taking place in the Walled Garden. We had a lovely day for it, and although it threatened to rain it held off pretty much until after we finished the group pictures. 

Charlotte had no less than 3 pairs of shoes (yep...you read that right) and there were plenty of other beautiful details. I will confirm all the vendors shortly when I have a full list. The reception was fab, with a live band, a sushi chef present, and the catering was excellent. I loved the traditional Jewish dancing, and both I , and my 2nd shooter for the day ( the very talented Simon Carr) felt like joining in! We came home exhausted but really pleased to have witnessed Charlotte & Ben's beautiful day

end of the night...

I had a couple of fantastic weddings this weekend. I am so so behind on my blogging, so will show you those 2 weddings first and then will show some images from my Polish wedding too. And of course not forgetting Rebecca & Gareth's E session slideshow due at the end of the week. 

Toby & Courtney got married at the beautiful St Clement Danes (the Central Church of the Royal Air Force). Following the ceremony, we had a wedding taxi take us around London and although it was raining we managed a couple of locations. The reception was at the RAF club. Both Courtney & Toby looked great , as did the whole wedding party in fact, very glamorous! The bridal preparations took place at the Park Lane Sheraton. The theme was black/white with a bit of hot pink thrown in.
