For some reason I seem to end up getting a lot of event managers as my clients. I am going to take it as a compliment as these are people who know what they want and how to make it happen! Che was no different - she made her decision to book me as we sat around her kitchen table last year discussing the wedding. They had the brilliant idea of doing the engagement shoot at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park at the end of last year - I had never been but it was great fun and an amazing location for a shoot. I don't do many weddings in central London so it's always a bit of a treat to have one on my doorstep that I can take the tube to! Richard and Che were married in Knightsbridge at The Jumeirah Carlton Towers Hotel. The whole event was managed so excellently by Jayne and Errols from Perry's which in turn made it a very stress free day. Nothing was too much trouble for them and it makes a huge difference to have a planner on hand to manage events. The flowers by Ramels, dancefloor and backdrop by Everything Covered. The cake was by Crumbs and Doilies and the lovely videographers were from The London Wedding Film Company. The toastmaster was Howard Robbins. It was my first Turkish wedding and it was brilliant to see some new traditions. The bride and groom were piped and drummed in, making two turns of the dance floor before doing their first dance - very quickly the entire wedding were on the dance floor. Towards the end of the evening the money pinning ceremony took place - which is kind of as it sounds. There is something wonderful about a community supporting newly-weds at the start of their lives together in that way.
