Hello! As many of you already know, I’ve been a little busy. And I’m very pleased to announce that on 23rd December 2011 Eloise Arwen Sutton finally made her appearance. Now we’re a little biased here at Casa Sam but I can tell you that she is pretty darn gorgeous! In the few weeks that she has been with us she has already firmly established herself as “in charge” but who could resist this face!

However, you can’t keep me away from a gorgeous wedding and I was lucky enough to be able to bring my gorgeous girl with me to Derby on Saturday so that I could be a part of Emma and Nick’s big day. I’m so glad I did as it was the perfect romantic, snowy wedding.

Emma and Nick chose the Cathedral Quarter Hotel in Derby for their special day and it was just perfect, from the cocktails to the beautiful surroundings to the wonderful staff who made everyone so welcome. Emma made a stunning bride in impeccable vintage style and both her and Nick were brilliant to photograph, in fact the whole day was a photographer’s dream. I’m only sorry I missed the snowball fight that happened in the small hours of the following morning!

There’ll be more pics later, but in the meantime, here’s a taster of how lovely a winter wedding can be!
