In the words of a very famous british comedy team, ‘and now for something completely different’.
In fact, we hope that every wedding we photograph looks wildly different to the wedding we shot before it, and those that come after it, because we truly believe that there are any number of perfect weddings, and only you know what yours may look like.
In discussion with Stacey and John they revealed that they wanted their wedding to feel as much like a wedding as a 1940′s/ 50′s style cocktail party, with guests arriving to the beautiful Gables in East Malvern on dusk for a night filled with love, laughter, tears (of joy), gypsy jazz and romance. We felt as though we had been transported back in time, with Stacey evoking Doris Day, Julie Andrews, and Marlene Dietrich all rolled into one in her gorgeous Vintage Rose dress and John looking truly dashing in his Simon Carter suit, complete with cravat. The night and atmosphere seemed to us to have so many elements of vintage film, and so we tried hard to embrace not only the depth and the colour of this amazing property, but also the raw emotion and beauty of a simple but incredibly heartfelt ceremony. Not to mention capturing a crazy amount of fun (ok, so we did throw a bit of flash into the crazy booth photos).
So, Stacey and John, here is your perfect day (or evening actually), and we hope you love it.
Fabulous to the finest detail! I LOVE this…everything looks so authentic! You rocked this girls!
