Delia and Chris {A London Rowing Club wedding}

Delia and Chris were the first couples that we met with when we moved to London. As their wedding finally rolled around early in May in seemed like a lifetime ago that we met them in a cafe by the Photographer's Gallery in central London although it was actually almost exactly a year. 

It was a perfect May morning as I arrived at High Road House in Chiswick to photograph Delia, her mum and her bridesmaids getting ready for the wedding. The light poured into the beautiful white room at the top of the building and it was the perfect backdrop for the palette of blush pink flowers and the hint of sparkle that glittered from Delia's Jimmy Choo platforms and stunning Cymbeline dress from Blackburn Bridal. It was no wonder that Delia's dad had a proper cry when he saw her coming down the stairs! 

Meanwhile Nye was with the groom and his family and ushers at the Temperance in Fulham, just around the corner from the church where the wedding ceremony was to take place. The Temperance not only has a great name but is a beautiful, sparkly place to have a pre-wedding sausages and mash! Everyone then made their way on foot to All Saints Fulham, a stunning church that was a joy to revisit after Sophie and Toby's wedding there last summer. The church itself is magnificent but its surroundings are so special, nestled in amongst the trees and sitting by the river Thames.

After the ceremony all of the guests walked in the sunshine from the church to London Rowing Club on the other side of the river. We stopped on Putney Bridge to take some photographs of Delia and Chris with the beautiful river in the background before we finally arrived at the Club to commence the celebrations. The Rowing Club's dining room is a perfect, elegant, quirky setting for a wedding meal with the walls dripping in portraits of notable members, beams and a boat lining the ceiling, fireplaces begging for arrangements of beautiful flowers and views out across the river. 

After a beautiful dinner the celebrations continued with a champagne fountain and dancing into the night, while the lights of the boats on the Thames twinkled in the distance.
