Rebecca and David's Wedding Red, bright orange and yellow flowers glow in this wonderful Autumnal Wedding

 A perfect Autumnal wedding.  Stunning flowers by Gabi at the Fine Flowers Company.  Rich reds , oranges and yellows of the flowers complimented the navy bows on the chairs and the suits of the groom, best man and ushers.
 Rebecca loves flowers so she was happy to be surrounded by her favourite colours.
 Hurrah we are married!
Raining outside but not for long.
 Fun in the wood with afternoon sun slanting through the trees.  Cheers! The entire party smile for the camera.

Lynette and Denis Wedding Rich Colours with the splendour of Autumnal Weddings

 Lynette and Denis chose purple, lilac and cream for their wedding.  The weather was warm and sunny so no jackets were required.  Preparations went smoothly and Lynette was calm and happy.  After the service we strolled into Richmond Park and I composed a Vogue like photo.  Everybody had a bit of fun and got into their own pose!

 Special moments in the wood.  Then back for a stylish wedding breakfast in the Russell Suite at Pembroke Lodge.

Matthew Bournes Swan Lake at Sadlers Wells



Below is a taster of the review which will be published in the March edition of Dance Dynamic.



The magazine is released on the 25th of February.



A Powerful Sinister Production danced with incredible energy


Out of the mist appears a swan danced by Richard Winsor. Instantly the whole drama of the production intensifies. The swan soars into the air. Christopher realises that this swan is his salvation and feverishly runs after it. He dances with energy and total conviction. The swan moves with fluid inverted actions of his arms and feet he poses with strong lines and evil eyes. All the swans arrive in groups of three and four. They jump and twist and turn their necks letting out hissing sounds producing a menacing and powerful dance. The moon on the set shines a steely grey light on the swans upper bodies accentuating their naked torsos and their beautiful syncopation

Tips of the week for weddings

See todays blog 15th February 2010

Female Guests:

The shops are full of black clothes but don't succumb! Direct your eyes away and look in the colours. White with black trimmings look great. Red with black trimmings will be perfect for November/December Weddings. Why not try purple? No black hats, save those for funerals. If you are worried you will stray towards buying a black outfit take a friend with you to shop. Or go to a small boutique where you can get a personal service.



Snow on the ground very cold. Bring a warm shawl so that you can put this when you are walking in between shots. This will stop you looking blue.
