Wedding photographer London,UK, Exhibit Emotions

My new website and blog are more than a week old now. You know that feeling when you get a new notebook, after you’ve spent so much time looking for the One? It’s all nice and new, and clean. You open it and start writing on the first page… You want it to look very neat, so you are careful with your handwriting. And it does look pretty! Then the second page comes, and scribbles appear. It’s not bad, you just start using the notebook in a way it’s supposed to be used!

So, this year I’ve decided to blog more for my brides and my readers. I’m going to start  a regular feature, which will appear once a week. I will be sharing ideas on wedding styling, inspiration I find on the web, links to other blogs, which I think could be of interest to my brides, inspirational photography etc. Sometimes it will be non-wedding related, but more personal. I think it will take a more definitive shape with time. At the moment it’s more of a collection of random ideas)) Anyway, the first feature is of course about all things pretty and yellow, which is my favourite colour, and it’s in my logo as well))

Found on http://designsponge.com . Love this combination of yellow and peachy pink. Flowers and lemons make a simple cake look so pretty and whimsical!

Found on http://stylemepretty.com . The little round-shaped yellow flowers are called Craspedia. Will cheer up any bouquet or buttonhole! In fact the groom from one of the weddings I photographed last year was wearing a buttonhole with craspedia flower in it. It represented his love for tennis! Here it is:

Hope you enjoyed it! Feel free to leave your feedback in the comments about what you would like to see more of! Till next time,

My second proper post on my new blog! I promise I will stop counting next time, but I’m still very excited about it! Thank you everyone for your great feedback – means a lot to me!

Hope everyone got to enjoy the snow here in UK over the last couple of days! We all know it might be a bit of a nightmare with trains not going, planes not flying, and everything generally coming to a standstill. But honestly, snow can be enjoyable! Snow fights, snowman, and just that freshness in the air remind me about winters in my home country, where everything is covered with white stuff for 4 or sometimes even 5 months. It also makes everything look bright outside, even at night time!

Today I want to share a beautiful Civil Partnership ceremony I second-shot with my friend Antonina Mamzenko of Memories Enclosed last year in May. My own weddings took over at that point, so I never got around to blogging these images.

Apart from helping out my friend, I really enjoyed shooting my first ever civil partnership ceremony! M and V are two wonderful ladies, who have known together for a while, and have gone through thick and thin together.  The whole day was absolutely beautiful and very emotional from start to finish. They got ready together in a hotel in Richmond Park with a few very close friends and family:

Love this intimate moment with mum…

Onto the ceremony and reception venue – Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park:

I loved every minute of the reception! The speeches had everyone in stitches and then happy tears. The meal was delicious. M and V hired a caricaturist to entertain their guests, and one of the best bands I’ve heard in a long time for the evening dancing!

Hello to all my followers and readers! This is the first post on my BRAND NEW BLOGSITE!!!! This new fully html website has been in the making for a few months, and I’m so happy (and relieved) it’s finally all done and up&running! You should be able to see the same design and functionality across all devices. I hope the design of my new site reflects what Exhibit Emotions Photography is all about and showcases my work. It’s combined with my blog, so it’s a lot easier to see and keep-up with my new weddings and shoots. I also have a couple of new features coming to the blog this year, so keep an eye on it! It will be something quite different for me as a wedding photographer, but I hope you will like it and my brides and couples will enjoy reading it)) One of the features will start in February (which is actually THIS MONTH!!!), and another one in March. Feel free to leave your feedback in the comment box bellow. There are also links underneath it to connect with me on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.

January was a very busy month, which I didn’t expect at all! It’s a good thing though, as I managed to avoid that transition from long Christmas holidays, and jumped into working almost straight away. I booked a lot of weddings with wonderful couples, I designed and launched my new website, I joined the gym for the first time in my life! Ever! I’ve never thought I would like it or enjoy it, but it actually makes me feel better and healthier! I booked the flights for my mum to come and visit us here in London)) I miss her so much, and she has never been here before, so needless to say I cannot wait!!!! Now that I booked the flights for her, her visit feels real and fast approaching

In case you missed my blog posts, I blogged a beautiful Dublin Wedding I photographed at the end of December. Tracy and Colm are a very special couple, who had a long-distance relationship for quite a while. They will finally be together for good very soon! So excited for them!

I also blogged this At Home pre-wedding shoot, which was quite different for me, as most of the time I do these shoots outside. I loved it! I loved meeting Stephanie and Gary who are super fun and easy-going. I’m really looking forward to their wedding at the end of this month!

I hope your January was good! Let me know what you’ve been up to in the comments below! After this month I’m pretty much ready for spring, warm weather and sunshine)) Bring it on!
