Check out this pretty lady!!!!
What can I say about these pics… I had the most fun hanging out with Caro for the day in Brixton.
She’s a super cool photographer who I kept bumping into at various wedding shindigs… And we totally hit it off and decided to get together and have a ‘shoot off’…
I have to say that we had a fab day shooting and wandering around the village and I’m soooo stoked with the pics Caro took of me! it’s about time I had some good ones!
Here they are, let me know what you guys think!
And don’t forget to go check out Caro’s pics over on her blog too.
I can’t wait for another installment of Celine & Caro Do London
This summer I had the absolute joy and pleasure to photograph a really gorgeous couple at Southwark Cathedral.
And boy you gotta love a good Cathedral, the light, the high vaulted ceilings and the beauty of a very special occasion in a grand setting. Being a south London resident and being guilty of spending way too much time near and around Borough Market in the summer, I was super excited to photograph a wedding literally on my doorstep. When I first met Victoria and Jan we got on so well and their wedding day sounded just fabulous with a reception at Vinopolis to boot. After the ceremony we took a walk through Borough Market for some shots of the couple and their bridal party which was lots of fun, with plenty of congratulations from passers by.
I’m not going to ramble on too much suffice to say that Victoria and Jan’s love was clearly evident throughout the day. They really were like lovestruck teenagers, constantly together and kissing and saying sweet nothings into each others ears. It really warms the cockles.
I hope you like the photographs.

Whoop! Two posts in one week…. I may even excel myself with three! That’s if you’re very lucky!
Today I have a lovely little London shoot for you. I shot this with Eleanor and Martin who have booked me for their wedding and wanted to have some shots and experience being in front of the camera so that they felt relaxed with me on their wedding day.
It’s a great idea if you’re not normally used to being in the spotlight or are a little camera shy.
We had lots of fun, tracing the route that we’ll be taking on their actual wedding day, visiting the church and walking through Bond Street (I had the urge to splurge whilst walking through there) to the hotel that’s hosting their reception and then ending at Green Park. It was just the beginning of Autumn and the trees were still green but with the odd few falling… I love that time of year.
I hope you like them and I can’t wait to photograph their wedding!

This year has been super super busy for me and so I’ve been a bit lax with blogging my weddings from the summer. Up today is a really sweet one with the lovely Cheryl and Dan at Creeksea Place in Burnham on Crouch in Essex.
The venue was gorgeous and the wedding was even more gorgeous with Cheryl and Dan saying their vows under the doorway of the house in front of all their family and friends.
Cheryl and Dan’s little girl Grace was a bridesmaid and as cute as a button clinging onto her daddy’s legs whilst they said their vows. Super cute!
Feel free to leave to blog love at the comments for the lovely couple!

Great Fosters in Egham, Surrey was the venue that Michelle and Chris chose to get married, and it was a wonderful day filled with much love and emotion.
For a couple who warned me of not being photogenic, I think you’ll have to join me in disagreeing with that comment. They were totally natural in front of the camera, barely even noticing me because they were so taken with each other and the fact that they were husband and wife. I love that so much!
Despite a typical English shower part way through the group formal shots the day was lovely with everyone having a fabulous time.
Not to mention the best ‘Dad Dancing’ I’ve EVER seen. Visions of Saturday Night Fever spring to mind when I think of Michelle’s Dad and his moves on the dance floor. He was brilliant, not to mention his complete and utter love and devotion to his little girl, all grown up and marrying the man of her dreams. His tears made me teary…
I hope you like the pics….

This summer I had the chance to photograph an event run by a very talented and passionate woman by the name of Lucy who is the brains behind Hummingbird Vintage.
Having started following her on twitter I saw her tweet about the need for some vintage crockery and anyone that’s seen my Tea Party pics will know that I’ve got a pretty reasonable collection so I offered lovely lucy my help!
Lucy organised a fab soiree at Bar Music Hall in Shoreditch with lots of lovely people giving up their time to help raise money for charity and I met some fabulous people including the very talented hair and makeup artist Miss Kelly Bare (pictured doing my hair), watched some burlesque (with my favourite performer Sophia St.Villier) bought some vintage delights from Hummingbird Vintage and Rock Candy and photographed all the prettiness! A perfect day all round. Plus it was even better because it was for a good cause!
I hope you like the pics…

Those of you who follow my little blog may have seen my post featuring the lovely Annie and Brandon…
Well today I received a sweet little postcard with a picture of Mt Bachelor and a note from Annie…
I couldn’t help but post a couple of pics as I’m so excited to say that I’m going out to visit her and Brandon next year… I’ll be hoping to visit a few of the amazing mountains that Brandon told me all about and hopefully some wine tasting with Annie in the vast wine valleys along the west coast.
I literally can’t wait!
This next one tickled me… What a well travelled postcard, going via Barbados on it’s way to Rainy old England!
This postcard is taking pride of place on my wall with a pic of Annie and I…
Miss Annie soooo much and can’t wait to have a little holiday with her and her lovely husband!

It feels like yesterday that I said goodbye to my dear friends Annie and Brandon. Sometimes life has some pretty big hurdles along the way, but with the bad comes the good, and after an obstacle filled April I happened to meet Annie and Brandon early May. And was it a good thing or what!!!
As always is the case in London, I met them in a pub, while a quiz was taking place. No I wasn’t in the quiz, I was catching up with some of my girly friends when we noticed that the American couple sat next to us could do with some help with the very english-centric questions…
Brandon spotted my camera in my bag and asked if I was into photography, to which i replied yes I’m a wedding photographer… his reply, no word of a lie was ‘get out of town’…. ha ha ha! So it turns out that Annie is a fabulous wedding blogger staying in London for a few months studying with her lovely husband.
We swapped cards and plotted a night out on the town and I’m so pleased that a fab friendship was born!
I couldn’t resist talking Annie and Brandon into having a photo shoot in London before they left to go back home, and so here it is…
We decided to fuse together some very British and American icons which is why we had coke bottles and strawberry cakes as well as some Beatles records playing in the background! Not forgetting the bunting!
We had so much fun in Greenwich and then got the boat back into Westminster passing by Tower Bridge on the way; it’s honestly one of my most favourite buildings in the city.
My do I love London. And I can’t wait to go visit Annie and Brandon soon on the East Coast… What a fabulous chance meeting…
A massive thank you must go to Kelly aka Miss Honey Bare; a tres talented hair and make up artiste and a truly fabulous lady who was a saving grace on the day with her expertise and who was an absolute pleasure to work with! Follow her on twitter here
I hope you like them and don’t forget to leave some love for Annie and Brandon in the comments below xx
A couple of weeks ago I went along to the Hedingham Castle Vintage Wedding Fair and we had the most fun!
I had a mini marquee literally outside the Castle which I decorated with homemade bunting and my photography as well as all my Italian Albums and Coffee Table Books to show to prospective couples.
I met some really cute couples in the first stages of their wedding planning and some truly awesome vendors!
There were brides planning on getting married in the Castle itself and I have to admit it is an amazing venue. And not only because it was the scene of a shoot featuring the late Alexander McQueen and the late Isabella Blow (pic here)
Most notable vendor IMO has to be the very talented Elizabeth Avey, I’ve seen her vintage wedding dresses on various shoots and on brides obviously but when I saw her dresses in the flesh I literally fell in love with them. There was one in particular that I’ve now got my heart set on! All I need now is a groom… Any brides wanting a vintage dress have got to meet Elizabeth, she’s a lovely lady.
As well as some amazing wedding vendors there was entertainment from A2 Jive as well as some wonderful singing starlets. I just love the whole swing jive dancing! It looks like so much fun!
I also met vendors who style beautiful table settings and hire vintage crockery for a tea party style wedding!
It was a great day, met some really fab vendors and met some wonderful couples planning their weddings…
I hope you like the pics!
And these abfab teapots were from the very lovely Natalie from Rosie and Fred
And these cakes from a very gorgeous Gemma of Rose Cakes had some truly scrummy looking cakes…
These lovely ladies are from The Traditional Vintage Flower Company
I even dressed up in one of my finest vintage dresses bought from Naomi of Vintage Secret
Don’t you just love the Bluebells? You know that summer is just around the corner when you’re thinking about the bluebells coming up in forests all over the country. When Cheryl suggested photographing at her local woods and waiting for the bells to come up I got so excited. It reminds me of being young and heading to our local woods with my family running through the bluebells and climbing over big tree stumps.
Cheryl and Dan brought their little cherub Grace along for the shoot and we had the most fun trundling through the woods looking a spot to photograph… the pics of all three of them look so fab and they were such great sports considering the danger lurking on the ground! As soon as we stood anywhere too long we got attacked by giant killer ants! (melodramatic i know!) You’d never know though as Cheryl and Dan were totally natural and didn’t look at all worried about the imminent ant attack!!!
We eventually found an ant free area where the lovely couple could sit for some shots of the two of them.. Cheryl mentioned that it reminded her a bit of Twilight with Edward and Bella sitting in the field… I just loved it, it was totally perfect and Cheryl and Dan are quite clearly two people soooo in love! Take that Ed and Bells!!! ha ha (Twilight fan alert!!! Yes I know i’m a loser)
I hope you like the pics! And please don’t use my love of Twilight against me people!!
