Katie & Dan’s snowy wedding at Hampton Court House, London
My first and last weddings of 2010 were at beautiful Hampton Court House on the outskirts of London. At the beginning of December the country was under a blanket of snow, and the dreary winter landscape was transformed into a gorgeous winter wonderland. The perfect setting then for Katie and Dan’s Christmas wedding. They got married at St Andrew’s Church in Ham with the reception at Hampton Court House. The snow seemed part of the festive styling of the wedding, with bridesmaids and bouquets in stunning bright red against the white dress and snow. The bride and groom travelled in a vintage white Rolls, with guests transported between sites London style, on a red routemaster bus. Katie & Dan were brave enough to get out in the snowy grounds, and also the rather bizarre shell lined grotto, for some photos before joining their friends and family for the reception. Warmed by log fires and lit by candles and fairy lights, as darkness fell it all felt rather festive and cosy. They had named their tables after the reindeers that pulled Santa’s sleigh, and later in the evening a fantastic ice sculpture of a sleigh was revealed. The numerous vodka shots that went down that vodka luge ensured the celebrations really got going and everyone partied into the night. Fun wedding, great way to round off the 2010 wedding season. Congrats Katie & Dan!
Here are some highlights from the day, the full gallery is online for friends and family here.

Snowy Wedding- Sneak Peek of Katie & Dan’s Hampton Court House wedding
Snow can bring this country to a standstill overnight but it also turns the bleak December landscape into a beautiful winter wonderland. It doesn’t happen too often down this end of the country, so while the snow still lay on the ground at Hampton Court House, Katie and Dan were absolute troopers getting out in it for their wedding photos. Here’s a little sneak preview.
The full set of photos to follow soon. To stay up to date you can stalk me on Facebook.

Lee & Natalie’s Winter Wedding at Hampton Court House & The Wharf
Lee & Natalie got married at Hampton Court House, a private school during the week, transformed into a gorgeous venue for their winter wedding with ornate ceilings and burning log fires. After they were married everyone headed off to celebrate at The Wharf in Teddington, a trendy bar & restaurant on the river.
It was one of the most well organised weddings I think I’ve ever worked on but everything went by without any stress (but there were a few tears!) Natalie was already getting her dress on when I arrived 2 hours before the ceremony, so the afternoon’s preparations were relaxed with a heavy air of anticipation. The bride looked gorgeous in an elegant fishtail dress, accompanied by her bridesmaids in sophisticated black cocktail dresses (and little Lauren looking like a princess) Lee and the men all wore slick suits and bright red ties.
The simple civil ceremony was warm and just a little bit teary. With a 4pm ceremony we had just enough of the day’s light left for a few photos of the bride & groom before leaving for the reception. Lee & Natalie had said to me before the big day that they wanted to the emphasis to be on the party- celebrating with their nearest and dearest before they both embark on a year or more travelling around New Zealand and beyond. (sooo jealous!)
Fizz and canapes were served in the Wharf bar while some of their friends played and sang before the speeches. Natalie took the microphone for the first speech but surprised everyone by singing a beautiful song to her new husband. She really is so talented, I was amazed! Lee, her dad and best man Dave gave some great speeches too, and then the DJ started and the party continued into the night.
We ran a photobooth in the upstairs bar, always good for a giggle, and many thanks to my assistant Liz for running the show. Photobooth pics coming soon..
Lee & Nat tell me they have been eagerly walking down the road to check the internet and see some pictures while they are on honeymoon in the lake district, so here’s a few more sneak previews to make it worth the walk in the cold! I’ll keep posting more as I get through the editing, promise!
More to come soon..
