A Gorgeous Snowy Day at 1913 meters for Sophie & Renaud xxx

February 13, 2013

This has to be one of my favourite weddings of 2012, a really beautiful snowy wedding with a stunning bride in a gorgeous lace dress.  The ceremony took place at the Hotel du Montenvers situated at 1913 meters next to the incredible Mer de Glace and the trip back down to the valley floor was a fun filled tram ride with accordion player!  The party then continued at La Cabane, where beautiful speeches and great food were followed by lots of dancing until the early hours.  The day was all expertly planned by Jody from Mont Blanc Weddings and her team and I was joined by Julia of Julia Toms Photography who was fantastic as a 2nd shooter.  Enjoy the silver Hunter wellies, the adorable flower girls, the snowy mountains, the horse and cart, disaronno favours, ski place names, Renaud’s great suit and all the laughter and smiles, I certainly did!  Helen x

A real treat for the guests, the red tram up to the Hotel du Montenvers with croissants and hot chocolate provided to keep warm…

Beautiful bridesmaids in gorgeous shrugs…

A stunning bride, Renaud you lucky man…

Molly sung beautifully during the ceremony and the reception…

Check out these cool Montenvers tram toys for the kiddies – I want one!

A fun-filled trip back down the mountain with everyone singing along to the accordion…

Love this cute idea on the back of the horse and cart…

The traditional Croquembouche, a crunchy, sweet, profiterole tower of dreams!

And then the party started!!

Huge thank you to Mr & Mrs Clarke, wishing you all the luck and love in the world!  Felicitations!!
