We may not be the biggest wedding blog out there but for every sponsor we (I) accept there are a good three or four who just don’t make the cut. I like that I have my own standards and I like when my expectations are blown.

I love it when people truly love what they do. Their enthusiasm is infectious and a joy to behold. If you can’t find the love in the person then I truly believe you won’t see the love in the image.

So today I get to introduce you to Tracy Weston Photography.

“Weddings.  Wedding photography.  Gosh I love it.  I can spend days of my life flicking through the wonderfully captured memories of couples’ special days.

The photograph of the bride’s sister crying as she sees her for the first time; the groom’s nervous hands clenched waiting for his girl to arrive and them to start their amazing journey.

For me, to capture these moments is a true honour.  I get to go on such an amazing journey with my couples, and I feel so blessed to be part of their days.  I love to capture the things that people don’t always see; how the day really was.  The thought of the couple going through their photographs after their honeymoon and seeing the bits they’ve missed literally gives me goosebumps.  Everytime.

As a “photographer”, I am the girl with a camera desperately trying not to be the “photographer”.  I want to be a long lost friend, or perhaps a distant cousin that no one quite remembers.  I’m relaxed, but organised. Excitable but ordered. My photographs will show every aspect of a wedding as it happened, and not how I want it to happen.

If you’re looking for a photographer who you could go on a long walk with, put the world to rights with then that’s me.  I’m your future friend, and I can’t wait to meet you.”

Every now and then a company comes along that excites me. It’s not the usual lace and chiffon. No. It’s the most exquisite silk. Pattern and Press are most certainly this silk.

They’re a new kind of personalisation company.

And I for one want to drape my home in their wares. Oh my, I love that I get to introduce you to the most fabulous of little companies. Companies which care about their customers and their products.

Let me allow them to show and tell you a little more.

“Why should design have to be compromised for personalisation? It just doesn’t make sense.”

This was the starting point for us here at Pattern & Press as we believe beautiful design and personalisation can and should go hand in hand.

Pattern & Press are perfect for weddings. Our personalised items make gorgeous bridesmaid gifts, wedding and engagement gifts, decorations and favours- perfect for making your special day unique to you. We take beautiful and uncompromised design and apply understated personalisation so if you’re looking for some special and personal finishing touches for your wedding day then we’re a great place to start!

We’re certainly not the only personalisation company on the web but we’re striving to be the best, most innovative and most beautiful place for personalised gifts and homeware. With our ranges including fine bone china, embroidered cushions, glassware and embossed leather items you’re sure to find the perfect detail for your own perfect day.

Enjoy the pretties, people, enjoy the pretties.

So fly my pretties and buy some pretties from Pattern and Press. You won’t be disappointed. That personalised dome above is very much on my list!

So today I get to introduce you to Storry Photography.

I could probably leave you with that sentence and this image (for it is awesome) but perhaps I should let them tell you a little about themselves too.

Although the image probably will have made you happy and want to book them as your wedding photographers already! (There is something mesmerizing about that image.)

“One of the things that makes Storry Photography special is that we’re a husband  and wife team, so we work exceptionally well together. Photographer Aaron shoots the weddings, while Lindsay manages the office.

We’ve been in your shoes and we know how important it is to make the right  choice when it comes to deciding who will capture your big day on camera. Because we’ve been there ourselves, we understand exactly what you’re going through in the run-up to your wedding – not to mention the nerves you’ll probably be feeling on the big day! We’ve found that this helps us to establish a rapport with the bride and groom that enables us to document all the emotions the happy couple experience during this magical day in their life together.

Our aim is to help you relax and enjoy yourselves, safe in the knowledge that we’re creating a priceless record of your special day.
