Cheryl & Chris | Wedding | Putney, London

I had the pleasure of travelling down to London a couple of weeks ago (actually, on my own wedding anniversary) to hang out with Cheryl, Chris and their family and friends, to celebrate their (long overdue) wedding. They have been together for a whopping 17 years and so there were a great many jokes during the speeches about how long it had taken them.

We started out at home, where Cheryl was getting ready while others around her were finishing off little bits and pieces for the reception. The ceremony was in the very beautiful St Mary Magdalene Church, on the edge of Wandsworth Common and the reception was held at the London Rowing Club in Putney ... a short London bus ride away !

A few favourites.

Beautiful colour scheme

We are not amused

Yet another pair of gorgeous shoes ... indulge me !

This sign made me chuckle

Gotta make sure we look good for the photos ...

Very pretty bridesmaids

Ceremony time

Mr & Mrs

That bus !

All the kids had little "official photographer" badges and were equipped with cameras

The Rowing Club ... and the view out over the Thames

Check out those eyes !!

Super fun speeches

Thanks for having me, guys, it was a lot of fun ! Hope you enjoy the next 17 years as much as the first :)

Bijal & Ankith | Indian Reception | London

I'm way behind on blogging some stuff ! Bijal & Ankith, whose wedding at Crewe Hall I recently blogged, had a massive, Indian, reception at Wandsworth Town Hall the week after their wedding. They were very relaxed, even though the preparations had been completely manic ... well, there were over 500 guests attending !!! It was fab to hang out with them again and I was assisted by my friend and fellow photographer, Yvonne, whose spare bed I used for the night (she lives very near, super handy !)

As always, a few favourites from the evening ...

Bijal looking gorgeous as ever ...

Kit's 2 brothers, recently married themselves, shared in the celebrations ...

The cake cutting was followed by a beautiful, heart-felt speech by the brothers' father ...

Bijal's cousin was a singer in the band ... man, these guys ROCKED !

This lady's hair caught our eye ... beautiful detail ...

Then it was time for some dancing ...

I was knackered just WATCHING these 2 girls !!!

Even the little ones knew how to get down ...
