Tuesday, February 19, 2013 | Chelsea Register Office, London wedding, Register Office
The Chelsea Register Office wedding of Emma-louise and Graham was a stunningly beautiful and intimate day with a fall of snow and the bride in stunning blue suede shoes.
Emma-louise and Graham chose Chelsea’s Rossetti Room for their ceremony with six guests, who were all on time to the Kings Road venue.
Emma-louise and her father get ready to enter the Rossetti Room and a nervous Graham. Doesn’t Emma-louise look stunning!
On Chelsea Old Town Hall steps, Emma-louise and Graham stepped into a whirl of confetti from their friends and family. Do have a look at Emma-louise’s blue suede shoes – aren’t they wonderful!
Emma-louise, Graham and their guests left Chelsea Register Office for the short journey to The Phoenix in nearby Smith Street, chosen for Smith being Graham’s surname.
There was champagne, much admiring of Emma-louise’s ring and much laughter and love. And after a lovely hour or so in the warmth, Emma-louise and Graham headed out into the snow and I waved goodbye to them – heading off for a hot honeymoon.

When Louise and Charlie planned their Star of the Sea Church wedding in Greenwich, they chose a red and white Christmas theme, but could not have imagined how much snow would fall, in keeping with the ‘white’ part of the theme.
Devonport House
Louise started her day getting ready with her family and bridesmaids at Devonport House, just a short distance from the church. Louise’s red rose bouquet was by Rachel Morgan Wedding Flowers. And her fascinator was by talented milliner and similarly named Rachel Trevor-Morgan.
Star of the Sea Church
A 15-minute snowstorm (OK, a blizzard, in Greenwich terms) had Charlie sheltering under an umbrella outside Our Ladye Star of the Sea Church so he didn’t get too wet or cold and ushers busy with brooms, clearing snow from the steps.
Louise and Charlie had arranged for a dog walker to bring along their boxer Lily for some photographs outside the church – very carefully, so Lily didn’t jump up on Louise’s dress.
The Routemaster vintage bus that Louise and Charlie had arranged to transport guests to their Trafalgar Tavern wedding reception backed down Crooms Hill beautifully without slipping in the snow and made its way carefully through Maritime Greenwich and past the Old Naval College.
While we had such crisp snow and clear skies, Louise, Charlie and I went for a walk along the river for some wedding portraits. We also sneaked a few couple portraits inside while guests were filing through to the Christmas-themed reception, complete with presents for the children.
Wednesday, January 24, 2007 | Greenwich, Personal
It’s weird that a few days I thought spring was on its way (the daffodils are in full flower) and this morning when I woke up, everything I could see out the window was covered in thick snow. I took some photographs, then dressed and went to Greenwich, which was even more stunning.
Sir Walter Raleigh seemed distinctly unimpressed.
This local lovely couple was taking the opportunity to photograph themselves.
Water features were frozen.
Plants had a shock.
Snowballs were thrown.
The view was silent.
But you could hear a flautist at Trinity College of Music practising Peter and the Wolf.
