We have been fortunate to find and use a new florists based in Warlingham.
The name of this business is Son-Florist and has taken over from Petals.
Sonny, the owner, has a flair for contemporary design and has been the prefered florist for weddings at Oaks Farm, Oaks Lane, Shirley, Surrey.
He designed two stunning arrangements at a local Church for a wedding ceremony last December and the guests were highly appreciative of his flair.
Recently we have joined with this florists in our Valentine’s day promotion.
At present Sonny’s new website is still under construction but we at MHP Studios highly recommend Son-Flowers to you.

The wonderful wedding of Gary and Ruth was held on 20th January 2008.
Friends of Simon and Gosia, our wedding clients from two years ago, who were guests and as they had recommended us to the bride and groom we were delighted to be part of the big day and take a special shot of them to present as a thank you.
The wedding ceremony was held at St Swithin’s Church in East Grinstead and the reception was held At Copthorne Hotel at Effingham Park.
Their car of choice was a 1937 Rolls Royce but the groom manages to arrive in a Harley Davidson with sidecar.
Gary was dressed in a kilt with highland regalia and Ruth was stunning in an elegant gown with black detail.

During the spate of wedding Fayres we have met up with a wedding dress company called ‘White Dresses and Tiaras‘.
They have beautiful gowns and Mark is discussing a photoshoot using some of their dresses and accessories.
In fact, Pam is taking her recently engaged daughter there soon to sample some of their products too.
They are based at Ifield House, Ifield Green, Crawley, West Sussex - check thier website for more details.

Music played an important part of this special day with a harpist playing during the ceremony and all the tables at the wedding breakfast were given the names of composers.

It’s been a busy time here at the studio over the last three or four weeks - hence the blog hasn’t been updated recently.

The cut off dates for getting prints back from the lab, getting frames made and our ordering our handmade albums have all passed. As usual there were one or two orders that we’ve managed to squeeze in before the final deadlines.

So what have we been up to ?

We attended the Eltham Palace open day, were all of Eltham Palace’s preferred suppliers are invited to meet prospective bride and grooms who have booked or are planning thier wedding at Eltham Palace.

Eltham Palace is one of our favourite venues to work at, it has fanatastic grounds and stunning interiors, which make an excellent back drop for photography.The open day is a great opportunity to meet couples in a relaxed atmosphere and discuss what the would like from thier wedding photographs.

PS Here’s a link from Bloomsbury Video to one of our wedding we shot at Eltham Palace earlier this year http://www.MaleneandShariffsWedding.com <http://www.maleneandshariffswedding.com

We have been busy in the studio photographing families, babies and couples for Christmas presents. We then have to show clients their photographs, order the prints and frames and assemble these ready for collection.

We’ve shot the front cover for a new and soon to be released fashion magazine. We’ll post more on this once the first edition is out.

We’ll update you with some more information later- but for now it’s back to work!
