After our pre-shoot featuring Sue & Tim’s chicken family – I knew their wedding would be on a whole new level. They had planned a day that reflected them, the importance of their close friends and families and incorporated the things they loved. Sue & Tim both have such a wicked sense of humour and it was featured throughout the day with the little details, a chicken coup table plan and the best cake toppers I’ve ever seen for example. Getting ready began at Sue & Tims home, Sue had not one but two pairs of incredible shoes and two dresses both non-traditional but both so very Sue. The gorgeous blue lace number is by Erdem, the coat was a charity shop find which Sue customised and the shoes Louboutin. She changed in to her choos for the evening reception. I’ve never seen a Smart car used as the bridal car but it was perfect and it was hilarious to see Tim drive it off after the ceremony!

The ceremony took place at Richmond Registry Office with just 30 or so guests before everyone made their way to one of the most beautiful little oasis’s in the area Petersham Nurseries (or as Sue put it she had her wedding breakfast at a garden centre) – we were lucky enough to have plenty of time to do the formal and couple shots plus Tim & Sue’s Yoga-Off – who could do the best Standing Bow in their wedding outfits in the middle of a greenhouse with umbrella props – I think it’s too close to call  before we headed back to Sue & Tim’s to check on the chickens and create a very different ring shot! A few hours break for a cup of tea, outfit change and a little rest before the evening reception kicked off at One Kew Road in Richmond. A really funky, cool venue and just perfect for the additional evening guests that joined in the party. A brilliantly, funny, wonderful day, Sue & Tim thank you so much for having me along!
