Miriam and Bruce married in front of their family and close friends on a very snowy 23rd December at Auberge Du Lac (www.aubergedulac.co.uk) in the grounds of Brocket Hall (www.brocket-hall.co.uk). The service was simple but beautiful with daughters Aimee and Maya presenting a wonderful reading and the youngest Amiri nearly stealing the show.
Miriam's dress and accessories were of vintage design and suited the ambiance of Auberge Du Lac and the weather superbly. Miriam herself was just stunning with Bruce looking very dashing in his suit.
After the ceremony the wedding party sat down to a superb meal which lasted until the younger guests went outside for fireworks.
In the evening Miriam and Bruce celebrated with their friends at the sumptuous Sanderson Hotel in Berners Street in London (www.sandersonlondon.com).
With the fantastic winter weather at Auberge and the very contemporary Sanderson Hotel we were able to create some fantastic photos fro Miriam and Bruce, highlights of which are shown below and more images elsewhere on the blog.
Following a church wedding at St Alpheges church in Bath, Kirsty and Joe celebrated their marriage at the wonderful Park Resort in Wick ( www.tpresorts.co.uk ).

Christina and Manoli were married on a bright Autumn day, in North London, on 31st October, 2009. We took the opportunity to do a photo shoot between the ceremony and the reception at a local picturesque park. Here we used the Autumn light and colour to capture many beautiful images, with the lake as a background. Their reception was held at the fabulous 'Raddison Edwardian Heathrow Hotel', ( www.radissonedwardian.co.uk. ) where the ambience in the magnificent conservatory was breathtaking. Huge palm trees, underlit with cerise pink lights, towered above a waterfall, where a bridge over it, was illuminated by warm, glowing candles. To end our day with Christina and Manoli we shot some images in the flourescent lit 'Atrium', which is situated right at the top of this striking hotel. The videographer was the amazing and professional Andy of 'Zeus Films'. We have worked with him on numerous occassions and would highly reccommend his work. ( www.zeusfilms.co.uk ). Christina and Manoli thought their photographs were fantastic!
Tom and Claire spent their 'honeymoon weekend' at 'Babington House', Somerset. ( www.babingtonhouse.co.uk )
Just as the Autumn sun was setting, we captured some stylish and creative images inside the luxurious venue and also around the grounds. The aim of this shoot was to show the fusion of contemporary compositions against a historical background. The shots outside the small stone chapel, which is situated in the grounds of 'Babington House', are particulary strong images and these were achieved with the use of specialised lighting techniques. Tom and Claire were very impressed with all of the photographs, including the ones taken at their wedding in Bath and their party at 'Bath Race Course'. ( www.bath-racecourse.co.uk. )
After a wonderful wedding ceremony and reception, two days previous, at Bath Abbey and 'The Park Resort', Tom and Claire continued their celebration with a magnificent party at 'Bath Race Course'. ( www.bath-racecourse.co.uk )As the guests arrived, they followed a pathway, lit by glowing candles, which led them to a huge marquee themed as a 'winter wonderland'. Inside, the marquee was decorated with beautiful flower displays and everything white and shiny. Also, at the entrance, there stood six stylish images, mounted on easels of Tom and Claires' wedding day that we had processed, printed and framed especially for the occassion. Throughout the evening a short video was played to provide guests with a taster of the whole of the wedding day. ( www.firebird-films.com ) As you can see from our images, everyone had a really fun and memorable time.
