I have to tell you the truth that I’ve had these photos in ‘draft’ for ages – I so wanted to feature this gorgeous couples’ wedding but there were so many photos to chose from, that I became a bit overwhelmed. Especially as I wasn’t sure how to present them all! But now that I’m learning how to style and display photos on my blog I thought that I would give it a go. I need the practice, but more importantly I want to be able to share this happy London wedding with you… I hope these photos put a smile on your face on an otherwise grey and wintery day!

Islington Wedding

As graphic designers Nes and Dash styled their wedding with artistic flair and attention to detail, carefully planning the visuals of their central London wedding. They also designed their own video invite which was so cute and beautifully done that I’ve dedicated a whole post to it Nes and Dash’s Video Invite.

Nes looked the picture of elegance in her wedding dress from Always and Forever Bridal, and arrived at Islington Town Hall in a fabulous car – an Austin HMC Healey hired from Bespokes – with a bouquet of flowers from Dansk Flowers.

Dash wore a 3-piece suit, shirt and tie from the latest BOSS Hugo Boss collection, and sported a classic pocket watch, engraved on the back with their names and wedding date.

The civil ceremony took place at Islington Town Hall, in the warm and spacious interior and had a personal and very relaxed feel about it. After gliding down the sweeping staircase the couple emerged through a sea of bubbles to their guests.

The reception took place at Pasha, a Turkish restaurant – an unusual choice of reception inspired by Nes’s Turkish descent. The evening transformed spontaneously into dance. The music was exotic, a bit of Asian, a bit of Turkish and Nes’s and Dash’s favorite song put together by the bride and groom. The wedding perfectly combined a very contemporary and modern London celebration with elements of exotic inspiration.

I normally just display colour photos on LMW, but I’ve made an exception as I love this black and white photo of Nes with her dear friend – so in order to incorporate that into the mix I’ve created a little black and white collage for you.

Aren’t these photos from Compose Photography fantastic?? When Nes and Dash saw the photographs, I’m not suprised that this was their reaction:
“OOOOOHHHHHHH MMMMMYYYYYYY GGOOOODDDDDD!!!!!!!! we love them !!!!!!!!! xxxxxxx”
and later on thanked Susannah from Compose Photography with this lovely comment.

“It was the best day of my life and according to one of our guests one of the best weddings they’d been to. You had played a massive role in it. Its easy to forget things and to try making sure everything runs smoothly. Thanks for making it run perfectly. “

Thanks Susannah for sending me these beautiful photos – It might have taken me a while to get them up on LMW, but better late than never. I LOVE London weddings and featuring this one, which was so clearly full of fun and happiness, has put a big smile on my face.
