Now back last year I had the pleasure of getting my first intern at Wallpaper* and as luck would have it I was sent a talented young chap called Tom. What I loved about Tom was his talent when he got behind the camera. I loved looking through his pictures. He has a whole mighty set of stunning photos over on flickr and not only that he is also a contributer The Style Press. On top of that his photographs are now getting picked up by the likes of Icon_ology. Pretty sweet.

I just thought I should let you know.

Now this is somewhat inspired by a post by Aimee-Marie and her lovely post about Rock and Roll Bride (which I have to say is a truely fantastic site) but basically I have fallen in love with weddings.

Now I can safely say I am not one of those girls who you find drooling over wedding brochures, partly due to not having any love in my life of which to garner hope for these things and also partly down to that just not being my style. I like to look at pictures and be rather impressed and then get distracted by the next shiny thing. However when looking at the above mentioned sites I came across Jill Thomas’ photography and the photos for her brother’s wedding and I couldn’t let this one pass.

Now I have to admit that these are possibly the two most photogenic people ever but that aside I just love the style, the fun, the energy that are contained within each picture. Also where can you go wrong wearing some hot pink sunglasses and pink deckshoes with your gown. Retro. So tasty.

It is a testament to Jill’s talent that all images on her site are of such great standard. I also happened across the engagement photos for the couple and they are equally lovely. Not only that but they prove that wedding photography need not be something that is frowned upon as a profession. Its a fantastic opportunity to create something that reflects the couple, that can be timeless and treasurable.

Under the Street is a collection of photos on the popular site Flickr. For their year round up Flickr picked out their best. I love the above two pictures. I find that they both are so suggestive of the environment whilst also making the viewer want to know more.

Its some beautiful viewing.
