Wedding Cakes

I have photographed some amazing cakes.   'Cake of the Month' for October has to be this beautiful pumpkin themed cake by La Bella Torta.   http://www.labellatorta.co.uk/




A couple more of my favourites from 2011.
Simple but stunning!

Cupcakes- heaven. I love it when a couple choose cupcakes, because I usually get to take one home!!!
Wedding Photography isn't good for the waistline!

These roses were all handpainted by the bride.



The only way to cut a cake.


No-one knew quite what to make of this one until confetti exploded from the top and the mountain was removed to reveal the cake below made by the Bride's father as a surprise.


Well that's just some cakes from this year.  I will be revealing my favourite cake from the last four years in the New Year after I have photographed all my lovely December weddings.

Table plan ideas

Lovely autumn wedding at the end of October. The trees looked amazing and the colours were echoed in the bridal bouquet and table settings.

Twigs, fir cones and dried fruit adorned the tables and 'Travel' was the theme.
Each centre piece was made from a lantern filled with fruit and pine cones and each table had a different photograph of the couple on their travels.  

The table plan, designed and made by Helen the bride, consisted of an old leather suitcase, open with the travel photographs attached to string with tiny wooden pegs alongside cards detailing the seating arrangements.
It was placed on a table decorated with 'travel' props:- an old camera, well used travel books and old globe. Closed suitcases sat alongside a basket of travel labels that guests could complete with wedding wishes for the bride and groom and then tie onto the suitcases.  The whole table was finished off with a garland of heart shaped twigs. Beautiful!
