On Saturday I had the great pleasure of
photographing the sweetest couple, Dagmar and Matthias. They held a wonderfully
intimate wedding celebration, full of understated elegance and style. Many
guests travelled from Germany to witness this happy day. I've been excitedly
following Dagmar's never ending Pinterest board, so knew the day would be awash
with beautiful mint and blush tones (my favourite) and lovely details, but oh
my nothing quite prepared me for so much pretty. Dagmar looked quite the
Hollywood starlet from a bygone era. Her statuesque figure and elegant
demeanour set her dress off perfectly, a modern day Marlene Dietrich...
Matthias and Dagmar decided to meet before the ceremony for a "first
look". This is the first time I've captured such an event, and I hope it
won't be the last as it was such a joy to photograph pure emotion. The
"first look" is traditionally seen in the US, and rarely occurs in
the UK. It was moving to watch the couple’s first glances at one another, both
looking so beautiful; I think I was just as excited as the couple! After their
Islington Town Hall ceremony, everyone jumped on a red route master bus to the
J & A Cafe in Clerkenwell for feasting, sipping champagne from vintage
saucers and dancing to the 1920s band called Albert Ball's Flying Aces. I hope you enjoy my first few favourite images from the day; I can't wait to work on the rest! :) LOVE x

ReplyDeleteHi Steph,
ReplyDeleteMaybe you remember me, I am Britta from France, we sat at the same dinner table and you told me about your love for Ladurée macarons ;o)
The wedding photos are just wonderful and they perfectly reflect the romantic and glamorous atmosphere of Dagmar’s & Matthias wedding.
I hope you are fine and that your move to Copenhagen went smoothly.
Good luck for this new adventure and if ever you come to Paris, let me know !
A bientôt
