This was Clare and James' gorgeous winter wedding party at the grand Ill Bottaccio in Kensington, London. It was a crisp bright morning and I walked across Hyde Park to the studio where the girls were getting ready. The late ceremony meant that it got dark soon after the wedding but there was enough time to get a few shots on the street before the party got started. I have known Clare's family for about 10 years and so it's always such a joy and a proud moment to be so closely involved in a wedding like this.
Cat and Nick were guests at a wedding I photographed a couple of years ago in Tunbridge Wells - Katie & James - and contacted me last year to cover their wedding. I finally got a chance to see them again only a month ago when I went to photograph their engagement shoot at The Beacon Pub where they first met when working there as students. After the ceremony at St Mary's Church, Speldhurst near Cat's parents house we headed to Mountain's Country House in Hildenborough to be greeted by Cat's ex race-horse Merry. It was a beautiful day with wonderfully relaxed people and an outstanding best man speech!
