Stephen & Marina wedding photography at Aldermaston Manor then a trip to the Ukraine!

Stephen & Marina started their wedding in the UK at Aldermaston Manor where their guests could enjoy an intimate ceremony. The couple then wanted to make the most of the stunning gardens whilst the guests slurped some champagne and indulged in canapes. When the day was up it was time for everyone to hop on a plane to the Ukraine!

Upon landing in Kiev guests were chauffeured to the fantastic Gorniy-Ruchey (be sure to click translate in your browser window) where wedding preparations were well under way! While guests prepared for their tour of Kiev Marina had her hair and makeup done.

Although Keiv traffic tried it's hardest to stop us making the most of the beautiful scenery we persevered and got into the city centre where we had some time to capture the couple. When photos were complete it was back to Gorniy-Ruchey for an absolute feast, dancing and eventually some well earned rest!

Cherubs Christmas party 2011!

It's that time of year again for Cherubs Floral Design to host their dazzling Christmas party... with a "Nightmare before Christmas" theme we were treated to Sleighs, skeletons and stunning selections of seasonal snacks! 

After being thoroughly well fed a dance floor was provided for the brave to embarrass themselves well and truly! So thank you Cherubs for a wonderful evening...

Natalie & Matt's country wedding at Wasing Park

Natalie & Matt fell in love with Wasing park and chose the 'on site' church for their ceremony. The couple went for a neutral colour scheme with touches of red, used in the ribbon around the Bride's bouquet with subtle touches throughout the day.

Natalie looked stunning in her Angela Stone gown and Matt didn't look too bad either in his bespoke Marc Wallace suit. Natalie choose five friends as bridesmaids 3 of which were pregnant on the day! Bridesmaids wore full length pewter dresses and all carried a slightly different ivory bouquet.

After the ceremony the guests took a delightful stroll through the gorgeous grounds at Wasing park estate to make their way to the Garden Room where their drinks reception was held. Guests were entertained by a live musician and giant garden games whilst canapes were served.

The day focused on fun and Natalie & Matt even chose a tower of shots rather than the traditional wedding cake! Just when you guests thought they couldn't eat any more they were treated to an amazing hog roast outside on the terrace! (trust us it really is amazing - we have even sampled it ourselves!)

Chris & Jamie 'do' Movember - oh dear

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. Please that do all that you can and sponsor here.

I think you can clearly see that the best moustache of the month was modelled by the youngest member of the Studio Rouge team... Bebe Rose (although there may have been a little help from the eye liner!)

Yusra & Zabe's Mehndi & Wedding ceremonies photographed by Studio Rouge

The lovely young couple Yusra & Zabe held their Mehndi and Wedding photography Studio Rouge. Yusra got ready at Cavendish Banqueting in London, a venue suitable for lots of guests. There was time allocated before the ceremony for photographs which allowed us to make the most of the fading light. The evening was filled with plenty of music, food and dancing.

The wedding ceremony moved within London to another venue, The Decorium. A more formal celebration with Yusra wearing 2 dresses and the main colour theme as orange. The couple exchanged rings in view of all their guests then enjoyed the remainder of their lavish party.

Sarah & Paul's wedding at Wokefield park then a Party at The Sanderson Hotel

Sarah & Paul wanted an intimate day with their closest friends and family. Sarah had her makeup styled by Charlotte from charlotte elizabeth at their gorgeous home in Berkshire. Sarah then made the short walk to her local church with her parents and bridesmaids. After the service everyone made their way to the De vere venue 'Wokefield Park' for champagne delights and relaxing music followed by a 3 course meal.

After their European honeymoon it was time for Sarah & Paul to host a post wedding party at The Sanderson Hotel in London, the evening started with Sarah & Paul having an evening strole for some informal photographs then moving inside the lavish 'urban spa' to greet the guests arriving.

To fit in with both events, Sarah chose a short but stylish dress which looks absolutely gorgeous!

After a seven hour drive in the pouring rain we arrived in sunny Lancashire for close friends Kimi and Paul's wedding. Charlotte from Charlotte Elizabeth started early on Saturday morning to transform Kimi and her 5 bridesmaid's makeup, hair was provided by another of Kimi's friends.

A short walk down the lane is Kimi's local church All Hallows, Mitton, where close family and friends gathered for their beautiful marriage service. Amongst the congregation was Georgia, Kimi & Paul's little girl who was flower girl for the day.

The reception took place at the exclusive Stanley House in Lancashire. Guests were treated to a cocktail drinks reception and sumptuous 3 course meal.
