I was recently commisioned to take the portrait of wedding planner Erika Unbehaun of FlutterFly Events. The sitting took place at Erika’s apartment in Canary Wharf and I was really pleased with the results so I’m sharing a few here on the blog.

I’m going to be working with FlutterFly in August on a fabulous wedding in central London and will publish the first photographs here.

Last week I had a meeting at St Luke’s church in Chelsea with Erika Unbehaun of Flutterfly Events. Whilst I was there I grabbed a few photographs on my iPhone and afterwards strolled up the Kings Road to Peter Jones and along the way took a few more.
Here are a couple of the photographs from the church the first showing the imposing tower of St Luke’s and the second, Erika hard at work on her notes:


On the way to Sloane Square I passed one of my favourite roads in London, Royal Avenue, which runs off The Kings Road:

Finally, here is a photograph I took from the escalator in
Peter Jones whilst heading up to the haberdashery department

Earlier this week I went along to another wedding industry event, this one held by Chelsea Bidwill the owner of Beyond Weddings. Beyond Weddings offer a gift list service which helps couples build their home and it’s interior rather than their collection of toasters and napkins!
At the party, held in the
Crystal Room of the Dorchester, were the good and the great of the London wedding scene (oh yes, we have a ‘scene’, you know!). The people I chatted with included Victoria and Simon from
Euphoric Flowers,
Julia Boggio, Benita and Jade from
Nonsuch Mansion (surely the best new venue in years!), wedding planner
Mark Niemierko, florist
Orlando Hamilton, and celebrity make-up artist
Lina Cameron.
Below are some of the snaps I grabbed of the event, thanks again to Chelsea for hosting the evening.

Now here’s an invaluable online tool for any bride who’s struggling with her choice of wedding dress. The Short Wedding Dresses Planner will let you try out a selection of different dresses then see how they look with different accessories including shoes, veil and jewellery. You can even take a look at your finished wedding day look with different hairstyles! How good is that?
You start off with the empty template (below) and then drag and drop the various elements into place until you have designed your ideal wedding day outfit.
The next image shows one I prepared earlier. As you will see, my outfit encapsulates the very essence of a post-modern, academic woman whilst retaining an air of sexuality and mystery. A bridal style that is one part
Germaine Greer, two parts
Dita Von Teese.
If you visit the main Wedding Games Online website you will find lots of other useful tools to help with your wedding planning including the highly addictive Wedding Bouquets.
