I met Emily and James through Francesca, whose wedding at the Globe you may remember from earlier this year. Well, Emily and James’ wedding was also rainy – although maybe that’s to be expected so close to Christmas! They embraced the winter weather with open arms: the ceremony and reception were all held after sunset, and with the venue decorated with fairy lights, candles and a Christmas tree the result was a really cosy, intimate, golden atmosphere that just warmed you right through!
From the moment I learned that Emily is a chocolate buyer for Tesco’s (which led to a lot of pre-Christmas chocolate binging!), I knew that these guys had good taste. In fact, there were quite a few similarities between their wedding and my own back in 2011, from the converted church setting to the playing of the Jurassic Park theme tune during the ceremony! And as with some of my favourite weddings, the event was filled with details that were hugely personal to the couple. The ceremony was performed by a family friend, bridesmaid Francesca did everyones’ hair, the table plan reflected James’ love of the board game Carcasonne (if you’ve never played it – do – it’s addictive!), and as party animals they had one of the best DJs I’ve ever come across. Emily and James seriously know how to party the night away in style. My wife has also told me that I need to mention Emily’s gorgeous vintage dress and the bridesmaids’ gowns, which she’s been salivating over ever since I downloaded the photos.
I’ll leave you to take a look at the photos now. Thank you for having me along, guys – it was a wonderfully fun and friendly day!
Also, to all my regular readers: Happy New Year! I’m gallivanting off to Central America on New Year’s Day, but will be back late January to regale you with more photos…
