Wedding Anniversary Shoot

50s wedding

It's hard to believe it's been well over a year now since my own 50s style wedding! When the lovely Leanne from Without Equal Photography contacted us to arrange an anniversary shoot how could we refuse!

All those wedding day memories came flooding back as we dressed in our 50s finest and headed to the spot where we had our orignal wedding shoot. I wore the Betsey from Honeypie Boutique and chose to add a splash of red as this colour had been banned on our actual wedding day due to football allegiances!!

Leanne and Ricahrd did a fab job of capturing our vintage theme and had even managed to get hold of an original 50s picnic set, radio and newspaper for the shoot. You can check out their website by visiting www.withoutequal.co.uk

50s Style Pinup Shoots

I wish I knew about this when deciding what to buy my husband for a wedding gift! Kate Donovon, pinup photographer extraordinaire, offers makeover and photo packages from her studio in Manchester. I think any man would be very pleased to receive a sexy pinup style boudoir photo of their lovely wife to be! This would also be a fab idea for a 50s themed hen night activity.

Check out the 21st Century Goddess website for more details.

Lee-Ann and David's 50s Style Wedding

50s wedding

Lee-Ann and David held their fab 50s style wedding in Glasgow last year. Lee-Ann wore one of the cutest 50s style dresses I have ever seen, which was made especially for her, and teamed with a perfectly matched birdcage veil. The couple chose a stunning blue Pontiac for wedding transport in true 50s style!
