VICKI AND SAM'S PRETTY, DIY AND RUSTIC FEEL WEDDING AT CONSTELLATIONS, LIVERPOOL

Good Afternoon lovely people! :) i sit here in starbucks on a rainy Tuesday catching up on all of last years blogs , but i have a gorgeous wedding to show you today something pretty to cheer you up on this rainy day!

Vicki and Sam are a sweet young couple in love i had the delight of capturing.

I fell in love with everything about their wedding, the style, the venue their love for each other and particularly how everything seemed homemade ,  a DO IT YOURSELF  wedding. More and more people are doing this now, not only because sometimes it can really help keep some of your costs down but because everything is more appreciated because everyone has helped create something for your special day so it just kind of feels more ....special. The whole look of everything can look really pretty and rustic too!

From the moment i arrived to Vicki, all the bridesmaids were sat at the dining table making button holes and creating decorations for the day, Vicki doing her mums makeup , it all just felt so lovely that everyone was pitching in.

Sam is very creative and a joiner by trade ( Sam Larkin Joinery and Construction ) and even made their very own wooden Photo Booth , by far the best Photo Booth I've actually seen at any wedding it was so quirky! He also made wooden boards with words written on with lights! i loved it! There was so much effort that had been put in and it really showed! ( you can see below this blog all the contact details for their suppliers  )

The wedding ceremony was really sweet, it was held at their family church, the reverend was funny, friendly and kind. After the ceremony Vicki and Sam got some shots in a really cool nit age car and after confetti and group shots i met them at constellations in Liverpool where their reception was held.

This is the first time i had been to this venue and i have to say i LOVED it, it is totally my kind of venue, its quirky, it has personality, theres so much to photograph there, again everything has that rustic feel which tied in to vicki and same theme, The staff there were great too, really helpful and friendly and fun!. constellations has a gorgeous outdoor terrace which is buzzing with a really cool atmosphere, that part of the venue  it was open to the public but i liked that, it created a good atmosphere for anyone wanting to go outside for a it, this is where we got the really fun shots of vicki and sam playing table tennis! :)

Vicki and Sam were really up for exploring the surroundings with me, i love it when i have adventurous bride and grooms i think everyone who who follows me knows that :)

Nearby to constellations was an abandoned skateboarding park, we snook in through the metal gates and had a little impromptu shoot there, the pictures came out really lovely, Vicki and sam are amazing to photograph, they are very much inlove, really tactile with eacthother, that 'i can't stop looking at you' 'cant stop touching you' kind of love ! my favourite kind of love to photograph of course :)

The evening then followed with hilarious speeches and a brilliant first dance ending with Vicki throwing her bouquet :) I left everyone on the dancefloor having the time of their lives!

Thank you Vicki and Sam for letting me be part of your lives that day and capturing your story  it was such a wonderful wedding to be part of!

If anyone else is looking for a photographer for their wedding in constellations, Liverpool or anywhere else in the uk and world please do get in touch :)

With Love

J O D I E M A R S H & J A M E S P L A C I D O. BEAUTIFUL WEDDING RECEPTION. BOREHAM HOUSE. ESSEX

Hello Everyone!

This is my first post on my blog on my brand shiny new website! I have soooo many blogs from last years lovely weddings to post for you all but i have been focusing mainly on editing and designing my website , which has been quite a ride i have to say but now that i can see all my visions come to life it has been completely worth it! More on my new designs soon but first of all let me tell you about this wonderfully exciting wedding reception i had the pleasure of photographing ….

 

So i first heard from Jodie through twitter ( which by the way I’m totally rubbish at using ) , she and james had been married in the beautiful Bahamas and was searching for a photographer to capture their very intimate and relaxed wedding reception in the UK for their family and friends. Jodie tweeted that she was looking for an amazing photographer who took really natural shots.

My lovely Niece Jorjia tweeted Jodie my details and urged her to look at my work. Luckily for me Jodie loved my style and got in touch!

I was super excited , as after speaking with Jodie over the phone she sounded lovely, I’m not sure what i expected as I’ve always had the belief in lifeto take people as i find them not what people tell me. But if I’m honest i think i expected Jodie to be loud and probably a lot wilder. 

In honesty Jodie was nothing like that, she was sweet, very easy going ( probably the most easy going bride i have met ) down to earth and a very warm and all round lovely human being!

The venue was the stunning Boreham house in Chelmsford, Essex, which is a beautiful venue, the staff were so so helpful and friendly, infact it was my first time in essex , and let me tell you they made a great impression! I found everyone to be so lovely.

The evening began with guests arriving to be met with Champagne and canapés, everyone mingled and chatted and i could feel immediately  the evening was going to be relaxed.

Jodie and James made their entrance and wow they are a striking couple! James is just as easy going as Jodie and within seconds of meeting them you have a feeling these two are meant to be together.

Have you ever met two people who are so in love you almost feel an electric charge around them? Thats how i can describe the chemistry! Its a photographers dream to be around because when two people have this chemistry which in my experience is quite rare, they are naturally tactile with each other, they cant keep their hands from touching each other, holding each other close, looking deeply into each others eyes, etc etc , it really is beautiful to be around two people in love like this! 

We was then taken to a large marquee outside in the large gardens, where the speeches began …lets just say there were a lot of tears!!! it was an emotional one let me tell you that!! 

Jodies Dad who is so lovely by the way told everyone the story about how his daughter met James, Jodie had given up on men and finding mr right, then one day in a carpark , james walked past and they locked eyes and instantly they both felt something they could not dismiss, 

James walked straight up to jodie , asking "so when am i taking you out”

Jodie replied “tonight?”

The rest is history as the saying goes,…they spent every day together since! 

James’s speech was also just as emotional, emotional but very funny! James has such a lovely way about him , i think the words ‘gentle giant’ come to mind! And the way he looks at Jodie is just something else!

After the speeches everybody ate and drank wine and there was a lovely atmosphere, everyone there was just close friends and family, and everything just felt very authentic and very intimate and loving , in my eyes exactly the way is should be.

Jodie doesnt usually drink ( again something i did not expect) she had a couple of red wines that night and soon was dancing ( and let me add throwing some good moves) on the dance floor! 

I stayed right up until the end and it really was such a pleasure to be a part of.

I have to say , jodie’s and James’s parents, family and friends are a credit to them because everyone was so lovely and kind! 

At some point this year ( when the weather finally gets warmer) I’m going to photograph jodie and James when we have more time  in some amazing location and we are going to do some really creative shots, i already have some ideas in mind and its going to be awesome! so watch this space! :)

Jodie put all of these pictures on her instagram and social media and has said some lovely words about myself and my work! 

And to Jodie & James….thank you for letting me into your lives for the day and trusting me to capture your special evening, i had so much fun and it was a pleasure to meet you , you both are such beautiful people inside and out and I’m so glad you found your soulmate! 

I will see you very soon !!! :)

Below I've added a few shots from this special evening , I hope you enjoy them.

Thank you for reading everyone , new blogs will be posted this week :)

Much Love
