Natalie & Ant – Cripps Barn Wedding
NATALIE & ANT – Cripps Barn, Cirencester Natalie & Ant their very own summertime ball in the beautiful cotswolds hosted by cripps barn TO VIEW THE WEDDING GALLERY CLICK – HERE A Party Like No Other Wow, this Crips barn wedding was like no other I have ever attended with high energy lots of music and dancing from the moment I arrived. Arriving at cute little Airbnb that Natalie had booked for her preparations I was greeted by no less than eight bridesmaids! During bridal preparations having kept a close eye on Natalie’s Instagram feed I knew this would have a party feel. Every story she posts shows her partying in a different part of the world and I knew today would be the same. Once everybody had been made up and was in their gown, it was time for the reveal to the bridesmaids and Dad. The girls couldn’t believe the dress that Natalie had chosen, with off the shoulder sleeves and a cathedral length veil. Dad however, was blown away at the sight of his little girl. Now fully grown up, and looking great, he broke down in tears as they shared a hug before leaving for the venue. Arrival at Cripps Barn for the Wedding Cripps Barn by the time I arrived had already become a party venue. With over 100 guests ready to see Natalie & Ant marry it was a very busy day. Natalie’s arrival down the aisle with her dad was proceeded by the bridesmaids who all got the front row seat to the show. The ceremony itself was short and concise with two readings, one being a personally written poem by a close friend. Upon leaving the ceremony, the bride and groom walked a confetti line where they were showered from all angles. This then allowed for lots of time for the guests to congratulate the happy couple. During the drinks reception Natalie had arranged for a saxophonist to play mainly the Ibiza dance classics. This saw an abundance of people dancing the afternoon away as they enjoyed their drink. As group shots followed before everybody was called in for the wedding breakfast with the sun still shining, we were excited for speeches. Speeches Mum and dad went first with speeches being very keen to embarrass Natalie about her childhood and very well succeeded. After the Wedding breakfast, Ant gave his speech, thanking close relatives, grooms party, with a mention to his original best man who unfortunately couldn’t be with us to celebrate. Next up were the best men. Determined to embarrass Ant and share some of their favourite memories they managed tears and laughter around the room. With the wedding breakfast was drawing to close, guests were ushered outside to witness the champagne tower. Natalie began by shaking champagne like she had won the F1. This made sure everybody was covered before Ant did the same. Then very carefully they began to fill up the glasses on the champagne tower before sharing them around. Natalie had also requested for a smoke bomb photograph which was completed on the hill to the rear of the venue. This worked really really well with such a large bridal party, definitely one to find in the gallery. Time to Party The evening party was full of dancing, shoulder rides, hugs and kisses and lots of pizza. As I stayed on for that little bit extra knowing this party was going to kick off I’m very glad that I did as the dancefloor shots reflect the vibe of the true vibe of the party.

SARAH & JOSH – Norwich Cathedral Sarah & Josh A wedding extravaganza at Norwich cathedral TO VIEW THE EXTENDED WEDDING GALLERY CLICK – HERE Norwich Cathedral – A venue draped with history Sarah & Josh chose a Norwich Cathedral wedding for their sunny celebration in late June. Sarah, with a strong connection to the venue is one of a select few who are lucky enough to be allowed to marry inside this magnificent building. Nestled in the heart of Norwich, Norwich Cathedral is the perfect wedding venue for couples seeking a blend of history and romance. With over 900 years of history, this magnificent Norman cathedral offers a breathtaking backdrop for weddings in Norwich. Constructed in 1096, the cathedral’s stunning Romanesque architecture and intricate Gothic additions create an enchanting atmosphere for your special day. Located within the serene Cathedral Close, Norwich Cathedral is a tranquil oasis amidst the city’s bustle. To marry here, couples must meet specific criteria set by the Church of England, including a connection to the parish or regular worship attendance. For those dreaming of a Norwich wedding, Norwich Cathedral provides a unique and unforgettable setting, combining rich heritage with beautiful gardens and majestic interiors. The wedding day itself was blessed with stunning sunshine and an abundance of guests. With over 170 people invited, I was busy working all day long. We started at Ashby Hall, Sarah’s parents house for the bridal preparations before driving to the Cathedral. With six bridesmaids I had a very busy preparation room to photograph. After the dress was steamed, details photographed, Sarah was ready to slip into her dress. As she made her way to the chosen car for arrival, an Aston Martin DB6 for pictures I then left to photograph her arrival. The Cathedral and following drinks The ceremony was very beautiful, with acknowledgement of people who couldn’t be in attendance and also the lighting of the wedding candle. Lasting around fifty minutes the ceremony was filled with hymns, readings and emotions. I chose to photograph around the exterior aisles of the venue making sure to capture everything without being seen. Once the ceremony was concluded guests were invited to the Cloisters for welcome drinks. This gave the bride and groom an opportunity to slip away for a few pictures around the cathedral before we left. Upon leaving the couple chose the Aston Martin DBs, where Sarah had arranged to be taken to the local airfield. This was a complete surprise for Josh as they boarded a helicopter to be returned to Ashby Hall for the reception. With drinks and canapes on the lawn this allowed time for group photographs and candid before moving to the barn. The barn, decorated exquisitely was dress in white with gold detail with an abundance of flowers. Speeches were emotional with times of humour but generally very upbeat and heartfelt. Cocktail hour soon landed with Espresso Martini’s being the chosen drink for sharing before the first dance. The dance floor was busy, until Sarah & Josh went out to cut their ‘Cheese cake’ before socialising. Sarah then had a change of dress and introduced a cardboard cut out of a missing usher. This allowed the others to feature him in a couple of compromising positions.

Emily & Morgan – Bangor Castle, Bangor
EMILY & MORGAN – Bangor castle, Belfast Emily & Morgan AN INTIMATE WEDDING AT BANGOR CASTLE, Bangor TO VIEW THE Full WEDDING GALLERY CLICK – HERE The Luck of a Irish Elopement I was first contacted by Emily via my website and I was excited to visit Northern Ireland. This my first visit to the island of Island and it was always going to be a great adventure, made all the better by photographing this wedding. After months of back and forth organising the time line and details the day arrived. As I flew out, I knew this wedding would be small and intimate surrounded by stunning landscapes and architecture. As I arrived at the location of the Air BnB for the preparations my breath was taken away by the scale and beauty of the building. A stunning Georgian house with acres of land and details inside to match the beauty of the house. As I walked in Emily & Morgan were opening a gift from Emily’s brother, a perfect moment to being the story on. Shortly after this the preparations began and Emily was accompanied upstairs by her sister to begin her hair. Whist Emily was perfecting her make-up she had prepared a letter for Morgan to express her feelings. This left Morgan highly overwhelmed and emotional as he finished off getting ready for the day ahead. Once both parties were ready they met for a first look on the ground floor of the house and Morgan was mesmerised. Bangor castle – The perfect wedding venue Following a small portrait session and family portraits we made our way to the wedding venue, Bangor Castle. Upon arrival Morgan set up a zoom link to all those back home for Emily before the ceremony so they could stream it live. The ceremony itself was heartfelt and genuine with the couple writing their own vows and sharing a tear. We then made our way to the walled gardens at the castle for a few portraits and champagne in the Northern Irish sunshine. Once we had shared a drink and got some photographs we decided to make our way back to the AirBnb to relax. When everyone was back at the house there was a secondary ceremony conducted by Emilys brother Brian. This was a slightly more religious ceremony which was held in the living room of the house. A tradition in Emily’s family at Christmas is to write cards and send books prior to Christmas Day and she decided to carry this onto her wedding day. With this each guest received a card written from the heart and a book, specifically chosen based on their interests. This was a special and tender moment as everyone accepted their gift and read their card in front of everyone else. At this time, the wedding breakfast was approaching, not before two speeches from the brides sister and father. Both were full of gratitude and meaning making everyone shed a tear.
