The Wedding of Chris & Rhiannon

Congratulations to Chris and Rhiannon who were married on Saturday 8th August 2009. Their wedding ceremony was held at the Catholic Church on Hills Road in Cambridge city. After a slightly nervy start for the wedding party due to some hiccups in the run up to the big day, everything actually went very smoothly and according to plan. After the wedding we headed out of Cambridge and to the Hotel Felix off Hunting Road for the wedding reception. We really have been so lucky with the weather this year (given that the summer has been a rubbish one yet again) and the wedding guests got to enjoy the gardens and plenty of Champaign was being drunk. We decided to shoot some bride and groom photography later in the evening but as with most weddings, time went into a world of its own so we ended up a little behind schedule! This actually meant we were able to be quite experimental with some late evening light, a flash which we attached to a bridesmaid (or 'flash girl' as she become known) and some fantastic fashion poses from Rhiannon - Vogue eat your heart out!

The Wedding of Nathan & Rosie

Congratulations to Nathan and Rosie who were married on Wednesday 5th August 2009 (yes, a Wednesday wedding)! It was our second wedding at Jesus College, Cambridge in is as many days but we are such fans of Cambridge college weddings that we enjoyed the double! There were many differences between the two weddings. One was the humidity (it was really very hot and muggy today) and the other was that Nathan and Rosie were actually married in the chapel which was nice to see. We could have done with night vision photography equipment as it is very dark in the chapel but at least it was nice and cool! The Ushers were fantastic on the day and really helped things to run smoothly and were excellent people organisers for the formal group photography. They weren’t on hand to stop the groom from being attacked by a wasp or from stopping ants from invading the wedding dress however! Our wedding photography highlights follow:

The Weding of Alan & Deborah

Congratulations to Alan & Deborah who had a Cambridge wedding at Jesus College on Sunday 2nd August 2009. We were booked to photograph the whole day and started at Hotel du Vin in Cambridge city centre. We left the bridal preparations for Jesus College, Cambridge where the wedding ceremony and wedding reception were held. It’s always nice to have one wedding venue as it really helps create an atmosphere. The weather was absolutely lovely and very out of synch with the rest of the week! Our wedding booking dates have avoided the worst of the British summer so far (especially given that the weather is shaping up to be just like last year) so we feel quite lucky. Today’s wedding culminated in a fantastic best men’s speech (there were 2 best men) which involved an alternative version of Stealer’s Wheel’s ‘stuck in the middle with you’. Or should that be ‘stuck in this marriage with you’ – funny, touching and definitely wedding speech of the year! our wedding photography highlights follow:

The Wedding of Chris & Kay

Congratulations to Chris & Kay who were married on Friday 31 July 2009. Their wedding took us out of Cambridge and into the West Midlands! The wedding ceremony venue was St Paul's Church in Wednesdbury and their wedding reception was at the Fairlawns Hotel in Aldridge. All the important parts of the day were held whilst the weather was dry but the heavens did open (never to stop) at about 5pm. Luckily there was plenty of space in the hotel for the wedding guest’s to enjoy some good food, a drink, and a dance (we were fairly sure that there was a group of ladies singing and telling jokes even before the wine started to flow)! After an alternative first dance we left the wedding party to dance the night away and we’re sure that’s exactly what they did! Our wedding photography highlights follow:
