I thought it was about time I shared this gem of a wedding (just two weeks ago) of my friends Becky and Tom. Becky and I met at university and then after Uni we both moved from Nottingham down to London and moved into various flats together. For a few years we moved apart (to live with boyfriends) but then came back together in houses just down the road from each other in hertfordshire. We have spent many an evening having fun, as well as mopping up each others tears. Becky is an art director, so VERY creative, she did the painting that clients who come to my home may see on the wall of our own wedding venue. I was chuffed when she asked me to do her wedding photography, and capture hers and Tom’s own special day forever for them.
The day started early at High Elms in Hertfordshire, in fact it started the night before for Becky, Tom and Becky’s fabulously helpful mum and dad, as they did all the floristry and decorations themselves. Becky’s dad has spent a lot of time doing DIY for them over the years so I was surprised she wasnt getting him knocking up a cabinet or something else equally impressive. But High Elms has so much lovely antique furniture it wasnt needed, instead becky decorated with vases she found at car boots and charity shops, old suitcases and lots of her own design work. I actually created the chair back flowers (although they were literally the last of the blooms left over and I was waiting for the caterers to arrive to sort out the tables so I thought I’d help!) As any good florist looking closely will see I wont be taking up a career in floristry anytime soon!
The whole week had been predicted it would rain, but the sun came out and we were lucky and didnt have a drop of rain whilst we were out enjoying pimms on the lawn.
It was great to see so many of my uni friends and Mia loves you all so much. I miss the girls a great deal, as we are now all across the country so sadly dont get to see each other as much as I would like. So until the next time we all get together, here is Becky and Toms wedding, it really was a great day!
