I Will Always Remember...

Today we are super happy to share Alex and Lisa's full film! While Alex didn't quite get the Northern lights to light up the room, I think that Lisa more than did that with her beautiful smile and glowing spirit. Not to mention, the weather that we managed to get was perfect for their garden party at the gorgeous Wootton Park in Warwickshire. The day couldn't have been better, and no one deserved it more than these two!

Cosmic Love...

Sometimes the slightest things can change the directions of our lives. The merest breath of a circumstance, a random moment that connects like a meteorite striking the earth. Lives have swiveled and changed direction on the strength of a chance remark or meeting. Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen and so as fate would have it, Peter and Leland were simply supposed to be together.

As the stars aligned for them during their chance meeting in the Hamptons, their story and romance grew into something so beautiful it is almost impossible to explain in words. To be honest, it was pretty difficult to capture on film and through photographs... but only because true 'magic' does not always transcend media all that well. But it's important that you know that the whole experience and wedding day, was shrouded in a feeling of joy and purity that was, well, inexplicable.

Maybe it was the incredible friends and family that came together from all over the globe to celebrate it. Maybe it was the natural beauty of Sintra, Portugal which provided the rustic back drop or even the stunning Casa Dos Penedos. Maybe it was the walk through a secret garden to the ceremony, or maybe it was those golden rays of sunshine that lit Peter and Leland as they kissed while the sun set.

Maybe it was everything, all happening just the way it should. The way it was supposed to happen. But, when those first gentle notes of 'Cosmic Love' rang out for Peter and Leland's first dance (an unreleased version of Cosmic Love, btw, given to Leland by Florence Welch herself), we all knew we had just been part of something very, very special.

To say that we love these people wouldn't be sufficient for the way we feel about them. Leland and Peter are amazing - their families, their friends, and their story are just beautiful. I only hope we in some small way, we managed to bottle just some of the cosmic love that surrounded this wedding, and can share it with you.

Bonafide Lovin'...

Since we booked Gemma and Ian, we were SO excited to shoot it - I was excited because Gemma and I shared the same thoughts on making weddings different and unique, and Nick was excited because he could finally cut a wedding film to serious dance music! Their wedding did not disappoint, infact, it exceeded all expectations. Fun, beautiful, touching, and cray cray. Seriously, ladies, just wait until you see what Ian got Gemma! Dying! Here is their full film - we promise it won't fall short. And if you missed their wedding film trailer, make sure you watch it HERE Stay tuned for their beautiful photos coming soon!

I Love You More Than Sparkly Things...

Haidee is Goose to Tom's Maverick. It's true! They even used to work together.

They are so good together, and compliment each other perfectly. We loved shooting their wedding, which was as beautiful and laid back as both of them are. There were personal touches everywhere, made by their own hands and the people who love them most...and there were surprise fireworks! Everyone had an amazing time, ate delicious food, danced all night, and laughed until their stomach's hurt. Just perfect.



Stay tuned for part three of their gorgeous wedding (photos) soon! And if you missed their wedding film trailer, click HERE

Lean On Me...

It is so amazing to be a part of people's wedding day - seriously, it is a major privilege. We spend more time with the bride and groom than anyone else on that very special day, which is why it is so important to us to have such a great connection with them. We love them, and look out for them. We want them to be comfortable, relaxed, and above all happy and present in the moments.

To be there in this way for Lorna and Jamie was such a great honour, we just love to be around them and wanted their day to be magical. It was, and we are still so grateful for that wedding fayre back in the day that led us to each other! We are so happy to be sharing the final piece of their wedding with you - the photos! Enjoy!
