A Pronovias bride for a cool, whimsical Jew-ish wedding at The Amadeus Centre, Maida Vale, London, UK

17/11/2015 by Karen

Amadeus-Centre-Wedding
Today’s gorgeous bride,  Michelle, has some seriously talented friends. The super cool  wedding stationery? Oh, just designed by a friend. That gorgeous ‘brownie tower’ wedding cake? Oh just made  by ANOTHER amazing friend. That beautiful piece of music played during their Jew-ish wedding ceremony? Oh just lovingly  composed by a super talented friend of Michelle’s mother. Michelle  is a lucky girl! But  you can see that her and Ben have created all that love and given it back in bucketloads, not only from her report, but by the fact that almost  50% of their  guests travelled from abroad, from countries including the  USA, Netherlands, South Africa, Canada, Singapore, Russia, Germany, Iceland and many more — and this amazing  detail is perfectly  captured in their interactive ‘heart’ map that  you just have to see…

I love how she and Ben  have incorporated both Jewish and non-Jewish, and both British  and Dutch  themes into their day. They held their wonderfully inclusive  wedding at  the  Amadeus Centre  venue  in Maida Vale which they chose as it’s by Regents Canal which also runs past their home in Camden.  I’ll  hand you over to Michelle  now for the full report, exquisitely documented by the very  talented Martin Beddall, and watch out for, amongst other things, the world’s cutest pageboy…

Amadeus Centre Wedding
how we met

Michelle, the Bride:  We met in Edinburgh at a house party as we were both coming to the end of our masters degrees at the University of Edinburgh. Ben had a week left in Edinburgh before he was set to move back to Amsterdam, and I was heading to London at the end of the summer. After a summer of travelling back and forth between Amsterdam and Edinburgh, Ben decided to take the plunge and move to London, and we both didn’t look back!

Stacey & Jono | NYE Fancy Dress Jewish Wedding in a Cinema, West Sussex, UK

31/01/2014 by Karen

fancy-dress-cinema-wedding
There are no words. Truly — there are no words worthy enough to even  begin  to describe this fantastically creative W-day photographed by the always amazing  Martin Beddall. To start with this Jewish wedding is held in an old arthouse cinema (the oldest operating one in the UK) and all the guests are decked out in fancy dress which makes for such an inclusive atmosphere is genuinely special.

The couple organised everything themselves from the other side of the world (New Zealand!) and their attention to detail is astonishing. Jono, the groom, designed the delightful invitations himself, and both he and Stacey created the most beautiful short film that was played during their ceremony, full of images of their past, literally from birth through to the present day. You can watch their very special film lower down the page. Warning: you might tear up!

So without further ado, let’s dive into Martin Beddall’s exquisite photographs, and read all the juicy details in the words of Stacey and Jono themselves.

ORGANISING A NEW YEAR’S EVE WEDDING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD
Stacey and Jono:  We met and fell in love on New Year’s Eve 2007 so that has been such a special time for us. There’s also no better excuse for a party than New Year’s Eve so we decided to throw our big day five years later to the day! We now live in New Zealand but wanted to celebrate the big day in style with our oldest and dearest in the UK.Continue ReadingContinue Reading
