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 Stuart & Abby

Congratulations to Stuart and Abby who were married in Scotland on Thursday 21st May 2009. We were booked to photograph their wedding reception/wedding party two days later at the University Arms Hotel in the centre of Cambridge. It was a large party of friends and colleagues and very little family (who had all been part of the actual wedding day). There was an upbeat, party atmosphere to try and capture with photography and plenty of 'moments' to keep an eye on! We took advantage of the late afternoon light and photographed the newly-weds out on Parker's Piece which was a nice thing to do as the couple had not had any bride and groom wedding photography as part of the actual wedding day. Our wedding photography highlights follow:

London Night Shoot

We headed to London to meet a couple whose wedding we are photographing next year. It may seem a little premature shooting a pre-wedding portrait for the 2009 wedding season but we had not actually met with Alan and Deborah in person before. We therefore combined our first meeting with a portrait shoot (plus they have plans for their Christmas cards)! They live around Canary Wharf in London so we met up on a cold, autumnal evening for some London night photography and it was great fun! Low light photography is always challenging and is often a very slow affair but Alan and Deborah did really well at standing still and even managed to hold some happy expressions for the duration of the camera shutter (up to 12 seconds)! Our photo highlights are below:
