Claridges Hotel, one of London’s best hotels, is such a magical place. Full of so much history, charm and sophistication – it was a suitable choice for the civil wedding celebration of Jehan and Guillaume. The white-walled reception room was filled with white blooms and pulsed with the energy and excitement of the gathered families. Jehan was breath-taking in her traditional sari. We like the little ‘hi’ she mouths to him as she arrives at the altar.

The reception was similarly elegant, with tables laden with fine crystal and china place settings. Meanwhile in the kitchen the chefs were creating spectacular plates of cuisine. Each course that came out of the kitchen was even more spectacular than the previous one, but the pièce-de-résistance was the architectural wonder which was their wedding cake complete with sparklers! It’s no wonder everyone lined up to take pictures of it.

As the couple took to the dance floor for their first dance together as husband and wife they were grinning from ear-to-ear. It’s lovely to see a couple so happy and in love. That’s one of the great things about filming weddings – we see people enjoying one of the greatest days of their lives. We consider it a privilege to share in those special days.
