Saturday July 24th


Todays wedding was that of Louise & Paul.  My day started with Louise at the hairdressers in Longstanton, then back to Kirsty's house for the preps. The ceremony took place at St John's Church in Waterbeach, nr Cambridge.  After a few photos and confetti through at the church we were off to Denny Abbey for the wedding breakfast.  A lovely old venue and the marquee looked great. Loads more photos and a fabulous hog roast.

Simone & Edd were married at the lovely church of St Giles at Great Hallingbury nr Stansted, with the wedding breakfast at Gt Hallingbury Manor.  From preps to first dance made a very long day but a very enjoyable one. They had a very large cake with incredible Brazilian sweets that Simone made herself! I would happily put loads of weight on eating those :-).  James the videographer and I work well together and we both got some really great images.  The venue was an amazing place to work with some really great lighting effects.   The happy couple used an 18x12 inch photo in a mount from the pre-day photo shoot as a signing board.

Zoe & Martin were married at Hinchingbrooke House, Huntingdon.  From brides preps to first dance meant another full day for me, which I love! Fabulous sunshine (with a few light showers).  A great venue and lots of photo opportunities.  The magician Dean was great, a very funny man and very talented.  Thanks to everyone and John the toastmaster for all his assistance.

Saturday July 10th

Todays wedding of Wendy & Gary was held at the ancient church St Mary's in Houghton, nr St Ives.
I was with Wendy from early on for the preps. Wendy looked really lovely in her self designed dress and Jimmy Choo shoes etc.  After the ceremony and a few group photos we walked to Houghton Mill for a few more photos and then boarded the old 1940's bus that took the guests to the reception venue in Brampton. The marque and gardens looked immaculate.  More photos before the wedding breakfast.  Chimneys of Long Melford handle the catering superbly. Very professional indeed.  A surprise to all the guests were two singing waiters and a singing chef! Only these 'singers' did actually do a lot of serving/clearing etc.  They were incredible, three singers from the West End! The string quartet played beautifully and for a long time in the blazing heat.  A good time was had by all.

Michelle and Ash were married at Sheene Mill nr Royston.  Another great venue where Emma and her team always work hard to ensure you enjoy your day.  From the brides preps to the first dance, so it was another full day for me.  A very hot day and plenty of time for the photos meant a bag full of great images. The coloured lighting around the river is spectacular after dark and so we just had to have a photo session then, with amazing results.  Thanks to everyone for helping me throughout the day.

Saturday June 19th

Denise & Lester were married at Swynford Paddocks where Lisa and her team always do a great job for everyone.  The children had a large sweets table that also kept a lot of the adults happy as well! Glen the toastmaster did a great job as always.  The whole day from brides preps to first dance was very relaxed.  The caricaturist raised quite a few laughs from those brave enough to have one done.  I kept my distance!
Even though it did rain quite a lot we captured some great photos throughout the day.

Saturday June 12th

What a lovely sunny day for the wedding of Joanne & Guy.  Their venue was Quy Mill nr Cambridge.  From brides preps to first dance Joanne barely stopped smiling!, and Guy looked as if he was the cat that got the cream.  Quy Mill is a lovely venue and the whole day went by so quickly.  The football was on TV for those who wanted to watch it and all to soon it was time for me to head for home.
