Beautiful boho-chic wedding this weekend.

Brooklyn's Finest

Sometimes I don't get the opportunity to meet a bride before the big weekend, this was the case this weekend as our couple were based in New York. Before I met them I googled them to find out a bit more information; I like to do my homework. Big mistake. The bride is a photographers agent for a company described by Italian Vogue as 'one of the most prestigious agencies of the world' Then there's the groom, he's a TV/film editor credited on IMDB. To say I felt intimidated would be the understatement of the year. Alas it was much ado about nothing, turns out they're just lovely people, all be it uber cool lovely people. So somehow, despite many weeks of stressing, waking up in a cold sweat and the like I managed to pull it off...phew!

What Katie Did

 Wow, what a wedding! Lots of photos from fab couple Katie and Oli's creative, fun and picture perfect wedding this weekend that not even the rain could put a dampner on. Be prepared for big balloons, luscious flowers and a very special whisky all the way from Islay...
