to walk down the aisle looking ones absolute best, that is the dream…but the girls get all the help they need, time for another walk down style alley for the chaps. Courtesy of Carlo Pignatelli’s 2010 collection we aim to bring to the fore the shear variety of mens fashion in the wedding department. The touch of Italian class and theatre is all too apparent in the latest threads to hit the catwalks, still…you cant help but admire how simply brilliant they are.

Planning for a wedding is definitely a tough task, but what we’ve found makes it a job lot easier is to put together a mood board. It not only helps you focus on what your really after, but also helps your suppliers (and photographer) visualise exactly what it is that your trying to create for your special day…and also they look quite pretty.
Here’s a few to get the creative juices flowing…

True to form, the weekend that marks the official start of summer started in a rather overcast fashion, but fear not blog fans, as the sun crept out from behind the clouds long enough for us to get some amazing shots. Venturing into the unknown, today saw me visit the lovely Horwood House in Buckinghamshire, a beautiful ivy covered mansion situated in 38 acres of land. There was no Dusty to be heard through the rafters, more Michael Buble and The Killers being pumped out of the girls room, however, the love between these two was felt by all and i’m pretty sure with one shot in particular…i caught it on camera…
I absolutely love this photo, for me it sums up a wedding day perfectly, its joy, its excitement… its just beautiful, you cant look at this and not smile…
…Matt and Nicola take a few moments to themselves just after the ceremony…

Brendan and Julie are an absolutely fantastic couple, the day went perfectly and they were a joy to photograph. Julie was beautiful in her Lusan Mandongus dress, and the pair exchanged vows in front of close friends and family inside the stunning Victorian Orangery, situated within the grounds of St.Audries park in Somerset.
Pictured below are the couple taking a few moments just after the ceremony…
…a few more from the day…
i must confess apart from photography my other great love is eating…lots. Kudos to the pastry chef as this creation tasted as awesome as it looked

Ah the famous Beatles lyric, long gone are the days of chart topping singles that contained such charm and innocence. what chance does todays youth have when songs of ‘i wanna hold your hand’ and ‘from me to you’ have been replaced with modern day innuendo? hath not modern day society quelled our chivalrous behaviour!? no i cry! it is not so! it is alive in us all. stumblings through the world wide webs diverse collections of artworks and photographs reveals that true love is alive and well in many creative forms:
so fear not blog fans, the most raw and potent emotion runs free and wild through the veins of civilisation. These grand gestures of affection displayed in the public domain, shouted from rooftops to then be magnified further by phenomenal power of the internet. on this most inspired of notes i leave you with words of a more classical nature, true brilliance, from one william shakespeare
”Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs,
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes,
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers’ tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet…

It only dawned on me recently the undeniable parity between my endeavors on a film set, and those on a wedding day. All the usual guests, cast and crew are in attendance. Actors and actresses make way for the bride and groom to take the limelight, steal the show, and all in attendance stride with contented grins, as they know they are part of something brilliant, fantastic, unique! My Jules Winnfield moment occurred whilst on my most recent film set. A fantastic few days, great times, great people, great photos…great!
We have our detail shots…
…we have the candid shots and the lovely ladies doing the make-up, coincidentally this lovely lady (often otherwise known by her alter ego; Holleigh) also extends her artistry to the wedding scene, contact me for details…
…And finally, the main shots that take precedence, reside in the fore of the mind and are a visual signifier for the whole event. uncanny!
Speaking of films, i gazed a gazely stare upon a 1993 vintage in the past week, The Three Musketeers to be precise. Valour, honour and good old heroism are a sure fire way to a ladies heart, but as a Mr. Charlie Sheen aptly demonstrates for us desperate romantics, a telling grip on the English language, is a powerful tool indeed:
As morning hues of sun swept fire.
Caress you passion face, alone with you leaves
pure desire to worship under you grace.
My soul would cry in silent prayer to ner be
swept apart.
Your essences of the evening air as I danced into
your heart
