Here Amy from Bedfordshire has selected the half up hairstyle with plenty of curls! Her bridesmaids x 3 had a side bun with a silk flower to accessorize and the mum of the bride also looks radiant. 2.5hrs the time taken in getting ready

10th of July 2010 was the wedding of the lovely Stacy and Rob at the the wonderful venue of Notley Abbey. Here are just a few of the pictures more to come soon! The bride-to-be is still in her pj’s here (this is not how she got married) waiting to get into her dress.

Today my travels took me to the very picturesque and tranquil settings of Notley Abbey, situated just outside of Thame Notley Abbey dates back to the 12th century and is thoroughly modernised bringing it into the 21st century. The venue boasts fabulous grounds and therefore wonderful photo opportunities. My bride Stacy who was getting married here is originally from Kent but fell in love with Notley Abbey after having researched many venues in Kent and surrounding counties she felt that it justified the extra travel for her and her guests, I agree!

Laura contacted me a couple of months ago and although it was short notice I was able to help Laura out and create her dream hairstyle and make up look for her wedding which took place in Waltham Abbey on a gloriously hot afternoon! As you can see from the pictures Laura selected a messy updo with curls and beautiful pearls set within some of the curls, we also used very pretty silk roses that set the hairstyle off beautifully giving the bride a wonderfully fresh, stylish and contemporary bridal updo!

I have worked with so many photographers in the years I have been doing what I do and I have to say some have been good and some not so good sadly!
It’s important to have the right team on your wedding day as this will help things run smoothly and stress-free! Nobody gets it as right as Ian Waldron and it’s true Naturally Relaxed Photography need I say more?
Ian travels throught Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and London.

This weekend was yet another busy one and I can now say that the wedding season has started and I love it! All my happy brides, bridesmaids and mums. It’s wonderful to be part of the preparations on the special day and it’s a huge compliment when I and my assistant can help make the atmosphere and bring a sense of fun, calm and control to a chaotic time.
My trips this weekend took me to Welwyn for 7am on Saturday morning where my 2 brides were getting ready for their ceremony to take place pretty early in the morning!! After this it was off to Bedfordshire and Biggleswade then back to London Colney and finally a client in St Albans…phew yes a busy Saturday.
Sunday was long day in London and I’m not a huge fan of driving in the capital but Sundays aren’t too bad as parking is less restricted my brides to be were very pleased with their results and I’m hoping to get some fresh pictures up soon.
Finally, it’s always a huge sense of joy and signals the end of another busy day, when I can finally tap in home in the car sat nav system……get me home double quick!

People always compliment on how smooth, radiant and well moisturised my skin is even in the Winter months when the weather is unkind to the skin. I do all the usual things to help keep my skin looking youthful for example drinking plenty of water (minimum 2 litres a day) I eat lots of very brightly coloured vegetables (peppers, carrots, beetroot) and I stay away from alcohol, take away and ready meals due to the high salt/fat content! But even the best of us need a helping hand.
My friend Carole Goddard who is a respected Skincare Specialist and Aesthetician and supplier of some of the most wonderful products for the face and body recommened that I try SkinSceuticals the US Brand of Skincare that has been in the UK for a few years but only available through some online stockists and very few salons.
I use the Emollience Cream every morning, together with the Eye Cream and a number of special Serums designed for fighting the effects of ageing caused by exposure to the elements. Also I use the Night Cream and sometimes the Clay Mask as an extra boost! I’ve never looked back and wished that I had dicovered this sooner : )
So ladies it worth investing in a good skincare brand even if you’re in your 20’s as you’ll be thankful in the long run….remember that old Proverb Prevention Is Better Than Cure.

I recently met Mikaela Morgan at a wedding at the Gatsby Berkamsted where she captured the mood, atmosphere and colour of this wedding I was really impressed at how she managed to take such wonderful images without us noticing as some photographers can get under your feet as the bridal party are getting ready! So bear this in mind brides-to-be when selecting a photographer.
Mikaela believes that your wedding or civil partnership photography should capture the essence and joy of your day. Her style of wedding photography is not just about photographing an event… it’s about people and it’s about capturing all the excitement, anticipation and emotion that drive a wedding.
Mikaela’s style is very natural, relaxed and unobtrusive and she will photograph your wedding in her contemporary, documentary style.
Mikaela covers Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Essex and some parts of London contact her direct for a consultation;
