When one receives an iconic set of images from stellar photographer Emma Case, of a beautiful bride, wearing Jenny Packham against the backdrop of the uber-hip MC Motors, one perhaps should just post them and let Instagram & Google Image search do it’s thing.
Except I couldn’t help having a little Google search of my own as I knew that Charlene Ford has just played the eponymous Aladdin in the Eastbourne panto. A fact so wonderful in its Britishness, so kitsch, so darn brilliant I couldn’t help sneaking a picture in.
There is Charlene on her Flying Carpet from Theatrical Eastbourne
Charlene comes form a small group of interconnected brides Miss Bush has been privileged to dress from London’s West End shows. Perfect poise & perfect legs makes our job very easy. It is also brilliant to see Charlene’s creativity, vision and love of entertaining filtering into her wedding styling.

I only met with Charlene at fitting stage where our wonderful Helen tweaked the dress to perfection.
Below is a perfect image to reiterate – “yes it is wedding-y”
“Yes it is suitable for church” – concerns that brides to be, but more often their friends raise in the shop. Be brave…
Paul & Charlene make a very handsome couple, I could look at their photos day in day out. However beautiful, however glamorous their love story is modern & touching – brought together by My Single Friend & fittingly celebrated online.
Enjoy the gallery of photos, Emma Case is very well-known within photography circles as one of the New Wave of wedding photographers. Emma has a style & personality in her work that is unique yet produces accessible, redolent images that bring you the day in feeling & essence as well as in pictures. It is often worth stepping off the path of recommended venue suppliers to find ‘rock-stars.’ 😉
Charlene & Paul – thank you so much for sharing your inspirational day. xxx
A first dance to end all first dances…
