The Wedding Of James & Jodie

Congratulations to James and Jodie who had an Essex wedding (not our usual Cambridge wedding) on Saturday 25th July 2009. Their wedding was a really hot and sunny one which puts their wedding in the minority of weddings this summer (a bit like last year)! As a result, the wedding guests really enjoyed the gardens of Spains Hall in Finchingfield, playing giant Jenga and Croquet. It was harder for us as wedding photographers because bright, sunny weather in an exposed wedding venue can prove quite a challenge! We did however find a shady tree for the family groups and spent a while searching out locations with the bride and groom. All in all it was a great day and everyone seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves. Our wedding photography highlights are below:

The Wedding Of Joseph & Lydia

Congratulations to Joseph & Lydia who were married on Saturday 18th July 2009 at Shire Hall registry office on Castle Hill. Bride and groom broke with tradition and met before the wedding ceremony to walk in together which was different and nice to see. After the wedding ceremony the wedding party headed off down castle hill to watch the wedding couple leave from Quayside in a punt. They punted down the river to Trinity Hall College where their wedding reception was held and where they had met as students! The afternoon was delightful and the weather was surprisingly nice (unlike the day before and day after) so everyone felt lucky. Our luck ran out when a glass of Champaign blew over and into our open camera bag soaking the equipment! Once dried off and the panic was over it was reassuring to find out that it was a glass of Dom Perignon 2000 - very nice indeed! Our wedding photography highlights are as follows:

The Wedding Of Simon & Claire

Congratulations to Simon & Claire who were married on Saturday 11th July 2009. Their wedding ceremony was held at the St Mary and St Michael Parish Church, Tumpington. We weren't so lucky with the weather in the early part of their wedding day meaning that Claire arrived to drizzle and left the church, arm in arm with Simon, to drizzle too! Luckily the weather improved when we later headed off to the country side for a rather unusual wedding reception. The groom's family run a farm in the village of Harlton and had kitted out one of the barns with dinning space for 160, a full bar, dance floor and stage. It was quite unusual as a wedding venue but it looked fantastic (as you can see below). We hear they are looking into using it as a wedding venue to hire and we'll be sure to recommend it to our future Cambridge wedding clients! Our wedding photography highlights follow:

The Wedding of Crispin & Lucy

Congratulations to Crispin & Lucy who were married at King's College, Cambridge on Saturday 4th July 2009! King's College is one of our favourite Cambridge college wedding venues as it's just so iconic and screams 'Cambridge'! The weather was cooler than it had been (marking the end of an official two week long heat wave) but that was welcome and it turned out to be lovely wedding photography weather. We enjoyed a slightly experimental summer evening photography shoot around the college at about 9:30pm! That really is quite late for a bride and groom photo shoot but it worked and the sky was really beautiful. Everything else on the day went smoothly (apart from a little bit of time shifting early on in proceedings) and we left the bride and groom dancing away to a wedding ceilidh band.
