Florence and the Love Machine

February 20, 2012  |  Anniversary, Love Shoots  |  1 Comment

We always have a soft spot for Florence, the artsy pretentiousness in  us loves the fact that it is the home of the renaissance, add in a bit of Dante and his inferno and we are at our chin stroking and elbow patch best.

However, we’re enjoying Florence vicariously through this gorgeous anniversary from Karolina Skorek, and we are so happy to be able to get you visually laced with these stunning images of Bobby and Carrie Flamia.  So, well stop stringing together ridiculously complicated, and overworked sentences and leave you to enjoy some gorgeous shutter candy! Let the anniversary shutter candy begin (now where is a bugler or something to signal how serious we are in this moment?) See Some More

Hannah + Matt and some Demba Fever

Hannah + Matt and some Demba Fever

February 13, 2012  |  Love Shoots, Real weddings, UK Weddings  |  4 Comments

In the last instalment from today’s Beyond Beyond, we invite you to whip you hanky out dissolve in to a mess of tears (yes boys are allowed to do this too) then tear up whatever you are working on and throw it around like confetti.  More than likely this will lead to one of two things:

  • Being sectioned
  • Being sacked

However, if you are willing to follow our advice verbatim, considering that we are strangers and all on the internet, then you sort of deserve it – you can’t say that we ‘groomed’ you into such proceedings either, so don’t play the nuptial innocent with us.  You were looking for any such trigger to do what the first paragraph hinted at; the safer option is to visualise doing all of that in your head – and now onto the actual wedding that we know you are going to get excited over.

The wedding of Hannah and Matt has been artfully shot by the rather talented Mr Demba – apart from being a shutter candy king from orient far, we do like the fact that he has good taste in shoes, he was rocking a pair that we thought were the business the other day. However, we need to move off the subject of shoes and onto the shutter magic.  Wow+sers, we love the style, a beautifully acute responsiveness, and deftness of touch ebbs gently through each pixel – and we can’t get enough of it!

Image after image – natural moments, unknowing glances, half caught laughs, and a gorgeous couple on one of the happiest days of their lives – the best pictures work like one of those picture stories in the lower end of the press: each image not requiring a single word, merely expressing a love story.

So, consider this the prologue and we’ll let the pixels do what they want to do – so gather around lovelies, these images would like to tell you a story.  Let shutter candy story time begin! See Some More

Pink Mist // Ray & Ria

Pink Mist // Ray & Ria

February 8, 2012  |  Love Shoots, Real weddings  |  6 Comments

Every so often in one of our morbid moments, we play 10 million ways to die scenarios; our default mode of croaking is always going to be surrounded by loved ones.  However we have wondered on occasion what it would feel like if our head simple exploded, we just are sitting at our desk and all of a sudden KABLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pink mist!

Well, we now know what it is like for our heads to explode – because that is what happened the instant, dearly beloved (who are gathered here in the name of shutter candy) when we saw these bad boys and girls of Ray and Ria in a land called Axioo.  We are in muffled awe and over exuberant sigh over everything basically! Two freaking awesome dresses!  Do you know what we simply don’t have the word basically, we really don’t.

Oh, and to add to the list of why we think that Axioo are the bomb.com, it has to be the customer service in a little chat with David of Axioo, we learned about their ‘Sweet Escape’ trips – they travel with two couples taking awesome town honeymoon pictures!  Can we hear a whoop whoop for that!  Axioo will be in London town as part of their ‘Sweet Escape’ tour and we certainly hope that we get to see them.  Let Ray and Ria awesomeness commence hence!

Fear and Dress Trashing in Las Vegas

Fear and Dress Trashing in Las Vegas

February 6, 2012  |  Inspiration, Trash the dress  |  8 Comments

*yawns and cracks back* Do you remember when you were  a kid and you got angry because you got sent to bed early and you couldn’t watch Eastenders, thusly leaving you out of all of the playground talk the next day.  Well, we would happily be those television deprived kids.  Because folks,  we are really sleepy; Mama send us to bed right now but with a dessert please!?

But, but, but, we did get a massive shot of adrenalin and a wake up slap to the face when we viewed this dress trashing vision of bubble gum-ness of Rockin’ Rose Dryden.

Her Awesome town tattoos and a devil may care attitude, are pretty much the visual equivalent of 2 double expressos and half a packet of pro plus.  We salute JamieY Photography for this awesome Vegas shoots in the Arts district… you visual bounce by the ounce stopped us slipping into a Monday afternoon coma.  Let butt whooping wakey-wakey shutter candy commence!  See Some More
