We couldn’t wait to post the photographs from our wedding at the weekend. Although not all are quite ready, here is a taste of a very special day.
The wedding took place at the stunning Jersey venue, Longueville Manor. Gemma, our bride, was inspired by vintage Portuguese lace for her day and chose the talented London based stylists Grace & Tailor to help create the day. Enjoy these photographs and a full post with details and photographs will follow shortly.

Our previous blog was about Victoria and Ben’s wedding in Hertfordshire. The details and colours that made up their wedding were so beautiful that we thought they deserved to be showcased in a separate piece.
They chose to use colours of silver and white with a dash of aubergine. This was worked beautifully throughout: in the flowers, decorations and accessories, with the aubergine colour appearing in subtle ways. The top table had aubergine chiffon around their chairs whilst the rest of the chairs in the marquee had silver chiffon. Little bridesmaids complimented their ivory dresses with the same aubergine chiffon tied as a waistband. Even the cake had a slight colouring of aubergine on the fondant petals.
Andrew Fleming was the florist and he produced beautiful bouquets and amazing table centre pieces, as well as decorating the church with his wonderful displays. Again aubergine effectively featured throughout. Tall, silver candelabras were stunning when lit, giving the marquee such a warm glow.
Other lovely touches were the white grand piano, being played throughout the meal; the white dancefloor with sparkly lights; and decorative trees which surrounded the dancefloor with blue fairy lights.
Finally, we have to comment on the favours, as they were so very clever. Each guest had been bought a lottery ticket! Let’s hope someone went home richer that night.

Victoria and Ben were married on May 1st at Christ Church, Chorleywood. Their reception was held at one of our favourite venues, Micklefield Hall in Hertfordshire. The bride looked stunning in dress made for her by her Godmother and the colour scheme for the day was predominantly silver and white with a dash of aubergine, simple but very stylish. The weather had been predicted rain but it held out until just after everyone was inside the marquee – perfect timing!
The wedding was kept on schedule by the toastmaster, Vanessa King, and the moving images of the day were filmed by the lovely Damo at Reel60. If you want to see more of the images from the day, please take a look at our Flickr page.

Ben and Holly recently married at the picturesque tudor hotel, The Swan, in Lavenham, Suffolk. A December wedding brought with it a Christmas theme, and the couple brought sparkle to the occasion with clever details, flowers and colours. All that was missing was snow to complete the Christmas fairytale theme!

When photographing a wedding, it is important to capture all the small details of the day. It is the details that complete the overall vision of the day’s event and can make such a difference. When Pearl Pictures photograph a wedding we always make sure we have gone around and photographed everything from important aspects such as the bouquet, table decorations, and wedding cake to smaller details such as the embroidery on the wedding dress, champagne bottles, the ladies’ hats and garden decorations. Once we even photographed the loo roll as it was printed with a wedding themed cartoon!
