As usual Ians february has been very busy with award shows… Baftas, Elle Style, the Brits and he’s flying off to the Oscars next week! He sent me a very amusing picture of him “winning” his Brit awards for Best Male and Best photographer!
* He didn’t really award he just borrowed two for the photos sadly, as they’d look great on our sideboard!
A couple of weeks ago I met up with the lovely Jon and Vicky for the first time. Their VERY talented planner, Josie of Savoir Weddings, booked me and they had a good look through my work online but we hadn’t met before so it was lovely to put faces to names. We met up at their wedding venue Nonsuch Mansion, which was also a first for me. And WOW Josie had really worked her magic with this venue. It has the real wow factor, a combination of old and new, lots of very cool wallpapers and modern touches throughout in an 18th century mansion. I cannot wait to photograph their wedding, I have so many ideas!! After a few cups of tea, a long walk around the venue and lots of chatting, we decided to create their engagement shoot within the grounds but keeping the mansion and it’s hidden treasures just for their big day. So meet Jon and Vicky…
Can’t wait for their March wedding… not long now!! xx

A lot of couples feel that they only want a CD of their high res imagery so we felt it was time to make the CD’s as much of a keepsake as the albums… So all our couples now receive a stunning leather CD case with their names embossed, presented in a cotton board box. An album is still the best way to ensure your memories are treasured forever, after all you might not be able to show your children a DVD… who remembers floppy disks?
At modernphotographic we offer a variety beautiful albums, one of the most popular is the Bellisimo Perfecto. A stunning leather album, embossed with your names. There are different colours to pick from (tan is my favourite!) and sizes… and they are being offered at the moment with TWO half sized parents albums which are exact copies of your album just smaller (and only come in black leather)
And with the parents albums… Christmas is sorted! But in case you would like to keep the parents albums secret, I created an engagement album to show off at your viewings. But it might just tempt you to invest in a mini album of your engagement photographs.
If youve booked your wedding photography without an album, you can add an album for a discount if you book it before your wedding!

Sadly I can’t possibly include everything… but here are just a tiny selection of some of my favourite wedding shots, after all 2011 is nearly at an end! 2012 is going to be even better with so many creative and fun couples whose weddings we’ll be joining this year!
My favourite guest of the year award goes to William, he decided the floor was the best place to be for his mum and dad’s wedding, but he makes the cutest mini best man!
William’s mum and dad, Danielle and James had a wonderful wedding day at Friern Manor, Essex!
Elizabeth’s parents home had lots of beautiful vintage touches a perfect setting for her getting ready shots and beautiful wedding shoes! I must admit when I spied her vintage suitcases above her wardrobe I wanted to steal them for our “juliaandmia” baby photo shoots
Elizabeth and Stephen tying the knot, then sealing it with a kiss at their Chiselhurst Gold Club, Kent wedding
A bit further afield Kirsty and Stephen were married in a treehouse, in Bonny Scotland – Loch Goil! This wedding was featured on Rock my wedding blog!
The views across the Loch from The Lodge were breathtaking
Another wedding where we travelled a few miles was Melanie and Charlie’s in Wales… The sun was shining which made for stunning shots through the stainglass in church catching them as they walked down the aisle and Mel enjoy the sunshine outside by the harbour.
Melanie’s button bouquets win my award from my favourite bouquet. The bride (and arts and crafts teacher) made all her own details from bunting to table clothes and of course these beautiful button bouquets! The wedding was also featured on Whimsical wonderland weddings and even made it into her top weddings of 2011!
A close second favourite bouquet would be Samantha’s. When I met Samantha and Justin, by complete coincidence it turned out she had seen our very own wedding in a magazine and used it for inspiration for her own wedding flowers, which was so flattering and naturally I loved all her flowers!
The beautiful bridesmaids took a walk in the sun with my parasols (which I take to all my summer weddings!). Blake Hall in Essex makes a beautiful setting. I particularly love the swing in the gardens!
Sam wasn’t sure how to decorate her cake table as she felt the cake would look a little lost. I suggested she borrowed old pictures frames and had pictures of their parents and grandparents on their wedding days. So we took the opportunity to get Sam to hold the cherished wedding photograph of her parents, definitely something to show her own grandchildren one day. Their wedding is due to be featured on Rock my wedding blog soon!
Zoe and Tom’s wedding definitely is one of the most unique weddings I have ever photographed. First of all the invitations weren’t for a wedding but for Kiddfest – their very own wedding festival.
Zoe made really cute paper hearts and hung them on trees throughout the garden.
Guests had lots of stripey deckchairs and hay bundles to sit on!
Tom is definitely the only master of ceremonies I’ve ever seen with a peg on his hat!
Like any good festival they danced the night away… to see more of this wedding and some of the others here go to the main flash website and select weddings. Or you could head over to the amazing love my dress blog… who featured this wedding last month! click here
I look forward to sharing more wonderful moments with lots more brides and grooms for 2012! If you are planning your own wedding get in touch, Id love to chat to you about your own plans!
