Debbie and Rob's 50s Style Wedding

50s wedding

Debbie and Rob made sure that their big day in Berkshire was one to remember! Debbie chose a striking red Candy Anthony dress, and her bridesmaid's dress was made up from a vintage pattern. Continuing the retro theme, Rob's mum made the most amazing giant cupcake for the couple, yum!

The wedding certainly reflected the couples' personalities, as Debbie revealed that she makes and sells vintage inspired fascinators and gifts in her Etsy shop www.talulahroseonetsy.etsy.com

KT Bruce Photography did a fantastic job capturing their special day on camera.

MILph - MOMS I’D LIKE TO PHOTOGRAPH

I received an email yesterday from Brianna of The Last Forty Percent Photography. She sent over these pictures along with information about their new project. MILph (Moms I'd like to photograph) is similar to boudoir sessions but with a mommy twist! It's a session honoring moms! In a world filled with diapers & spit-up it's nice to have a day to feel outwardly beautiful & sexy! Here are pictures from their first MILph session!

Sophie and Tim's Retro Wedding Party

Retro wedding

Sophie and Tim's Circus themed wedding party was a big hit with their guests! Sophie wore a beautiful 50s style wedding dress with a pretty pink gingham sash, and the bridesmaids looked the part in pink polkadot dresses. The couple entertained their guests with a coconut shy and a VW Camper van bar (OK I know it's not 50s but it's very funky), and photographer Paul at PJA Photography did a fantastic job capturing the day!
