St George’s is a magnificent church, with a long and illustrious history. This is the view from the back of the church, right next to the organ.

The room for the wedding breakfast at Claridges looked fantastic. Just before the guests entered for their meal Michelle walked round and said to the staff, ‘Everything looks wonderful and I’m so happy with what you’ve done!’
Before the speeches we found a couple of minutes to take a set of photos in one of Claridges beautiful art-deco corridors. Michelle and Andrew were illuminated by candles in storm lanterns.

Michael managed to produce a couple of first class visual aides during his best man’s speech. Some photos of Andrew from the family archive and a signed photo of Daniel Craig! Apparently, he is Michelle’s favourite actor.

Within a few seconds of entering the room, Belinda and David were surrounded on the dancefloor by their friends and family…
… and of course it wasn’t too long before Belinda and David’s brothers – with help from their friends had rustled up a couple of chairs and hoisted them aloft.
Belinda and David’s Mums, Elaine and Jane are good friends and they welcomed all the guests to the wedding.
The spectacular ballroom at Claridges was beautifully complemented by the stunning lighting.
This is Belinda’s brother Julian, his wife Michelle and their son Joseph. I photographed Michelle and Julian’s wedding in 2005 and it was lovely to see them again – as a very happy family.

… and with all their friends.

The band were ‘The Allstars’ an ensemble of London’s finest session musicians. To say they can belt out a tune would be a gross understatement… they are absolutely brilliant and created a superb atmosphere.
Claridges is a fantastic venue for a wedding. Its art deco interiors exude an effortless elegance as soon as you walk though its doors.
At the end of the night, Belinda and David were invited onto the stage to say a few words and Belinda explained what a fantastic day she’d had – and how excited she was to have married David.
