KIRSTIE & BEN Grosvenor Chapel, London
An immense priviledge to be asked to Photograph the Wedding of Kirstie and Ben. After 21 years Kirstie and Ben finally said “I do” in a beautiful and romantic ceremony. at the historic Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair. The nuptials were kept from their guests and believed they were attending Ben’s birthday party, only to discover they were witnessing a surprise wedding ceremony instead, perfectly reflecting the couple’s unique love story. The ceremony featured a beautiful selection of music, including The Beatles’ iconic All You Need Is Love, famously featured in Love Actually. Kirstie later revealed the news by this fabulous post below.
‘So It’s a huge privilege listening to your son give a speech at your wedding, which is one reason Ben & I are looking so cheery in this picture taken by catherine bradley photography. I share a great deal on here and so appreciate all the kind & interesting comments, but I felt our wedding should be private, and luckily on the day it was. Unfortunately it turned out that there was an unseen pap, so I have released a couple of our own pictures. The upside is that at least I get a chance to thank publicly some of the lovely people who worked so hard, at such short notice, to make our wedding pretty special, amongst them the ladies @oscardelarenta who put sleeves on a dress I bought in the sale two weeks ago , and it’s not all about the girls, Ben had a new suit made by the amazing @josephdarcystudio, Thanks so much Jack. Carla @teasmelondon who always works miracles, Harriette and her amazing team @studioviola_ who did the flowers so beautifully, @marbleprivate for whom nothing was a problem @mountstreetprinters whose patience & wise advice is extraordinary, @juliabellmakeup who didn’t know it was my wedding until she met me @theconnaught two hours before, and all the home team who make everything we ever do possible, and without whom nothing would occur, and of course The Reverend Stephen Coleman and Rosslyn and Richard at The Grosvenor Chapel who made the whole thing happen in the first place. To marry in the same church that my parents and grandparents married was always my hope and luckily I already know that we did live happily ever after x’
Congratulations Ben and Kirstie x
