Re Re Rewind.....

I still literally can't believe where 2011 has gone! Jackson's first Christmas was a raging success, and now our front room looks like a play den... (yeah, thanks for the giant inflatable Ferrari ball pit, Grandma!) In October we went to New York, traveled to Rio de Janeiro in November, as well as even managing to do a few weddings on home soil here in the UK in December! Busy busy, but lots of fun!

So, this is just a quick rewind to our trip to NYC for Miriam and Danny's amazing wedding. If you didn't see their video already.... check it out here and their wedding trailer, entitled "the kiss" here.

Also on this trip, we took a meeting with the uber-talented designer, Gretchen Jones. You probably recognize her best, as being the winner of Project Runway Season 8. Sice her win, Gretchen has been taking New York by storm, with her beautiful eco-conscious designs, and we are pleased to say that a collaboration is in our future! More on that exciting news later!

Top 40 Countdown....

Well, goodbye 2011, you have been a blast! We added Jackson to the family, made the big move out to the UK, 'officially' started STUDIO 1208 and trotted around the globe shooting some beautiful weddings. We worked on some amazing fashion shoots, and we meet some downright incredible people along the way!

To all our friends and brilliant family who have helped, loved, and supported us, we can't thank you enough. A huge thank you to all of our friends at the blogs who have not only featured, but championed our work this year, as well as ALL the venues and vendors we have been so lucky to work with. Most importantly though, our biggest thank you, is to all you newlyweds who entrusted us to capture your big day! You are the people we do this for, and the people we like to see smiling when all's said and done. It's you, the Brides and Grooms from all over the world who keep us motivated and buzzing with creativity. So with the oscar speech done, we have searched our hard drives for 40 of our favourite images from the year.

So, as the champagne bottles are popping, and Big Ben's chimes are done... we say roll on 2012 and Happy New Year everyone!

oops we did it again...

our dear friend, anonymous made a great comment the other day that made me chuckle...

"You mention hoe cool the 'Corpse Bride cake' was, but then you don't post an image of it? Disappointment! Everything else... flawless :)"

the chuckle came from the word 'hoe' which was supposed to say 'how', btw lol. but in all seriousness, OMG, SO TRUE (on all accounts *wink, wink*)!! how that one got past me, i will never know! how unfair for us to tell you about this amazing cake, and then not even put the images up to prove it. to be fair, it IS in the film, but that is splitting hairs - i want you to see this thing in all of its glory.

so....here it is!!!
