Matt and Jo's Summer Wedding at Upwaltham Barns
Matt and Jo are a couple with a long and delightful backstory worthy of its own romantic comedy. Their wedding in mid July was blessed with the heat and sunshine of a superb summer's day and was colourful, laid back and packed full to the brim with intimate and delightful moments.
I arrived at Avisford Park Hotel in Arundel to meet Matt and his best man Costa. I'd like to say it was a cool, calm and collected atmosphere but the room was super hot as the temperature outside just seemed to keep going up and up. We had a good giggle and decided to pay homage to that slightly sweaty morning with this cheeky shot; Matt brandishing a can of Right Guard as his only weapon while Costa coolly adjusts his dapper bow tie.

Rose & Andrew's Bright & Wild Farbridge Wedding
As a graphic designer it would have been almost impossible for creative groom Andrew Keen to not have come up with some fantastic branding to represent him and wife-to-be Rose on the most important day of their lives! If ever there's a reason deserving a good logo, it's two people, so in love that they are prepared to publicly celebrate this fact by getting hitched! I will talk more of Andrew's brilliant branding later in the blog, but I suppose what struck me the most about this couple's wedding day was that they had understood its significance, not just to them but to their valued guests who were thrilled to share the day with them. This was an event to bring together those young and old, to uphold the seriousness of ceremony, to shed tears of happiness and emotion, to enjoy the sharing of delicious food, to sense the nervousness of speeches delivered, to giggle with laughter at histories told, to feel joy in the music and abandonment in dancing. It was to be surrounded by bright colour in the celebration of two diverse personalities combining, who's value of detail through little thoughtful touches would offer so much meaning to many. This event required creativity, and Rose and Andrew clearly had this awareness - not missing a trick, designing and creating all the elements to provide that seamless and beautiful backdrop by which to celebrate their marriage.
