Being a photographer, you end up being in hardly any photos so I asked the amazing Sacco & Sacco to do a little shoot with my family. I think that Jayne and her husband Joe are some of the best family photographers in the UK and was very excited to see what they would come up with. Jayne is brilliant at styling shoots and though it was cold and the little one was in a grump, we all had a fun day. Huge thanks to Jayne and Joe and also The Tea Set who did the flowers.

The beautiful Fran and Jeff live in San Francisco. Their guests jetted in from all over the world for their super cute English wedding in the village where Fran grew up in Berkshire. They kept things simple and had a marquee put up in the garden of the church ~ I think they must have packed some Californian weather with them as it actually didn’t rain. Thanks to Kat Hill.

I first met Gemma and Chris when they came down to Brighton to celebrate their wedding anniversary with a photo shoot on the beach. Well since then two has become three and they have welcomed the adorable little baby Robert into their world. Today is Gemma’s birthday and we met again to mark this milestone in their lives with some more photos. Have to say, Robert is quite possibly the sweetest baby ever.

Okay so there was a little rain for this fabulous Soho House wedding in London ~ but Emily and Henry emailed me from their sunny honeymoon to say that everything else about their wedding was so amazing, that it would have been greedy to get the weather too. Luckily for us the only real break in the drizzle came when we went off to do their portraits and it meant there was hardly anyone around. Emily looked so stunning and we loved Henry’s Bow tie that he had made in the US. Thanks to Lisa Brown.

When I sent over some questions to Siobhan and Ben to get to know them a little better, it was obvious that they love Brighton and nature ~ Ben is a passionate ecologist. So I hit them with the idea of going to the curious Victorian legacy that is the Booth Museum or ‘House of Death’ as my husband calls it. They loved the idea so we met for a wander round with Ben telling us lots of interesting facts about birds on display there. We then went to the park for some prettiness.

Remember the lovely Heather and Rob’s camping engagement shoot at Photography Farm? I was so excited that it was their wedding day. They chose the amazing Grittenham Barn in Sussex as they could have access to it early in the week to dress it. The owners were super helpful ~ they even did the flowers and set up the fun lampshades. The Tea Set did their pop up tea shop & styling including our barn shoot. Thanks to Kathryn Edwards.

Steph and Russell took an afternoon off work to amble round Brighton with me. I met them in their favourite cafe for coffee and a catch up on their wedding plans. Then we took in the Laines, Pavilion Gardens and the seafront. These guys are lovely and seriously photogenic.

So some things don’t go quite to plan. The lovely (and quite pregnant) Elgiva and Ian planned a fun last minute wedding starting at Brighton Town Hall, followed by a round of crazy golf on the beach. The April showers slightly affected things but what better excuse for pancakes and ice-cream? By which time the sun came out and we finished our photo session on the seafront.

How cute is this wedding of the very lovely Carina and Chris? I adored her look, especially that sweet dress. The couple drive a Fiat 500 but hired a vintage one for the wedding. We came up with the idea to do a little styled shoot featuring the car as if they were leaving for the honeymoon in it. They then joined their reception for afternoon tea at lovely The Walled Garden in Cowdray. Thanks to Liz from Ruby-Roux

Although Christine and Fadi live in Beirut, the very beautiful bride has family in Brighton and spent much happy time here. So this is where they hosted their fun and very chic wedding. Christine looked so gorgeous in her Jenny Packham dress and Laboutin shoes but her smile was the most knock out part of her outfit. Despite the crowds, we took to the Palace Pier in Brighton for their photo shoot and couldn’t resist some candy floss. Thanks to Jayne Sacco.
