Vi and Mark have got the vibe, they just do, I’m not sure how to articulate what it is, but whatever it is, they got it!! And a wedding at Claridges Hotel, in Mayfair London, was clearly a fitting location for this pair. But if you take away the effortless style, the stunning location and backdrop that Claridges provided, and strip it all back, you have 2 people who are amongst the most genuine of couples I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, and it was clear to see just how many others absolutely adore them and were fortunate to celebrate this special occasion.
It’s not every day you get to experience a winter wedding at Claridges, it feels even more special at that time of year, and I won’t lie, I went to London that weekend with seriously high hopes for the outcome. I’d already encountered Vi and Mark from shooting their friends wedding; Rhiannon and James at the beautiful Cripps Barn in the Cotswolds, so knew I’d be in good company. I’d also seen on the schedule for the day that ‘The Function Band’ would be providing the evenings entertainment, if you haven’t seen this group at a wedding before, I’m sorry, but you’re missing out!!! And to top it all off, the forecast for the day was a crisp and sunny winters December, so it was all coming together nicely!
The day itself lived up to the hype and some, as hopefully you’ll see below! There wasn’t a single lull or drop in atmosphere all day, from the second I went to see Vi and Mark before gearing up, right through to the last song of the night, it was non-stop! Visual eye candy all day long, just how I like it! So here it is, a wedding at Claridges Hotel, finally on the blog;
