Wedding in Lavenham, Suffolk

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!

Don’t forget the details

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!

Wedding at the Haymarket Hotel, London

Richard and Cassa were married in Notting Hill and held their reception at the beautiful Haymarket Hotel in London. The party was more like a stylish New York cocktail party that a wedding reception! It was a very glamorous affair, where fancy cocktails were poured and food was served as bite-sized portions in the sumptuously decorated rooms at the hotel. The wedding cake was a tower of cupcakes. Cassa runs a dance company so once the music started everyone was on the dancefloor, dancing their hearts out.

A hen weekend in Bruges

Pearl Pictures is recommending Bruges as an original hen weekend hotspot. Standing out from the usual hen city breaks, Pearl recently photographed a hen weekend in this small and picturesque city. The girls took the Eurostar, via the champagne bar, from London’s St Pancras and arrived fresh and raring to go. Small enough to explore in a weekend, the girls activities included a cycle ride; a famous canal boat trip; sampling chocolate in the numerous chocolate shops and sitting alfresco in one of the many bustling squares with waffles and a raspberry beer. For the evening there are numerous restaurants to choose from, and the girls stumbled across a music festival in the main square which saw them dancing the night away!

Bruges is a charming city to explore
