Burford Bridge Hotel wedding | Tammy + Damian | A single
Tammy and Damian’s wedding today had a forecast for light drizzle, so when we arrived at Burford Bridge Hotel (official full title Mercure Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel) Â for their reception in the Tithe Barn, I wasn’t expecting us to be able to use the grounds for their portraits. Â As soon as Tammy and Damian had collected a drink, we went outside to shoot their wedding portraits. There was a strip of wild flowers that had not been mown that just had to be used – and here is one of their portraits. Tammy’s Maggie Sottero dress and short veil were just so pretty and feminine, it was a pleasure working with it against the contrast of Damian’s kilt in the MacGregor hunting tartan of his mother’s Scottish family, not to mention Tammy and Damian’s giggles and kisses.
Christopher, his parents, sister and brother in law were waiting in the Blue Room for Natasha’s arrival.
After warm congratulations, Natasha and Christopher walked out onto Old Marylebone Town Hall’s famous steps and we hailed a cab to take us to the South Bank for some portraits.
One of the reasons we went to the South Bank was its glowing lights on a dull winter day – both for the carousel and the German Christmas market. Â Natasha and Christopher were also able to warm up with a mulled wine. We captured them in front of the mulled wine hut (there’s probably a better word for it), surrounded by a variety of London’s population and then managed to get one of them on their own. Â Very sweetly, about half a dozen people about to walk behind Natasha and Christopher had held back so we could have a clean wedding portrait of them – complete strangers can be so very thoughtful.
By now, Natasha was all goose bumps and we headed back to The Langham for a few more wedding portraits.
Christopher wasn’t forgotten – he had a portrait against these doors, one of his favourite features of the Langham – and a Christmas-themed family portrait.
I took just a few more photographs of them at
