The Eclectic Wedding Encyclopedia Hoo’s Hoo-it’s Clare Tam-im photography!

HEY YOU! Yes you; lovely and colourful, rainbow bright and brilliant folk! We wanted to introduce a photographer who can capture your unique and special day in all it’s sparkliness.

Clare’s style is bright, beautiful, natural and super duper fun. All her photos embrace the amazing personal style her couples bring to the table, Clare loves EWE because of it’s dedication to diversity which she totally embraces too! She’s a moment grabber who’ll leave you with photos that will have you grinning like a Cheshire cat.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is relaxed, natural and fun then look no further, Clare Tam-im loves getting to know her awesome couples in the run up to the wedding and then you all feel like good mates by the time the day arrives!

It’s natural to feel pretty nervous and camera shy but Clare is great at making couples and guests alike feel really at ease and ready to smile. She does a few of the directed group shots and the rest are exciting candid shots of everyone having a lovely time.

We love a good knees up here at EWE and Clare told us about an amazing wedding she shot recently:

“Natalie wore a gorgeous pink dress with shoes that had Care Bears on (CARE BEARS!!) and Daley wore an awesome blazer with palm leaves print. These ladies were just so friggin cool. All their guests wore colour and glitter, and I shed a few tears behind my camera along with everyone else as they tied the knot. At rush hour, they managed to get all of their guests onto a tube to their reception. I doubt London commuters would have seen so much colour on their journey before. They had a rainbow cake and a bake off that their friends took part in. And the icing of the cake was that their wedding was featured in Rock n Roll Bride’s Ultimate Guide for Alternative Brides.”

Clare bloody loves all things geeky. We’re talking Final Fantasy, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and her favourite song to get up and boogie at a wedding would be Africa by Toto- she’s a girl after our own heart! So if you want a fantastic photographer who embraces the quirky and turns it into incredible photos then come visit her page on the Directory. Here’s the link!

Spring time with EWE and punk pastels – Alternative wedding styling inspiration

SPRINGTIME – CRAZY FOR EWE

The Spring shoot was bursting with kawaii cuteness! We filled every inch of the models and the table with beautiful fresh pastels and food that makes you go aww (and yum!)

We showed that weddings can be grown up and also fun like a children’s party. The models were the perfect choice with their own personal style of bright, colourful and super sweet.  Michaela’s background in fashion and Jo’s amazing clothing skills meant we could pull together some looks that any bride, groom and guest would be proud to wear to a Spring wedding. We styled the models with; an Oppo suit, Beautiful dresses that fit like a sparkly glove from The Couture Co, some very playful and colourful crowns from strawberry whiskers and OMG the shoes! The shoes are from the Bunny Pumpkin Boutique, one pair of which actually lit up, everyone wanted to try them on.

The makeup and hair was a wonderful mix of vintage sophistication and fun. Glossy pink and red lips, bright cut crease shadow and an impeccable base brought grown up glamour to a kawaii theme. We didn’t forget about the males either with a glitter beard for the groom by Le Keux and awesome temporary tattoos created for us by Doris Loves.

Ava styling brought her fabulous collection of props and crockery which made a great backdrop for the sugar sweet cake, vegan treats and mini figures from the brilliant Tiny Sarah Cakes. Clear Hearts brought trolls, Polly pockets and toys which along with Couture Co’s fabric and super cute lego figures made the table a delight to look at. We think you’ll want to reach right into the screen and grab some sweet treats.

Stationery from Prim and Glad let us imagine how guests could be invited to the big day, we chose them for their distinct style. Unicorns, hearts, doughnuts and rainbows all feature on the invites which also carries through to the table plan and place settings. For all the pastel punks out there, you’re not forgotten with creatures from Pins and Needles reminding your guests you may be cute but you’re still a badass!

At Ewe it’s all about the unique and the bouquet from Maddison Rocks is exactly that! A visual delight comprising of super cute elements that also plays a tune with a wind up of the music box handle.

Entertainment at this affair is provided by Gaming 4 weddings with a customised gaming station where you can play your favourite retro games. Styled with some beautiful flowers from Ava Event Styling. As if that isn’t enough fun for your day bubbles and stilt walkers came from Flambe Circus. All beautifully captured by Asassynation and details from Kate Jackson Photography.
