A Gorgeous Wedding At The Ravenswood - Catherine & Jake

Catherine and Jake had the most amazing wedding at The Ravenswood on Thursday. The sun came out and the venue looked incredible.

I spent the morning with Catherine and her girls in the getting ready room. They had a wonderful time hanging out and joking together. It was the most lovely atmosphere and Catherine’s friends did the best job of making her nice and relaxed. Thanks for all of the victory signs and love hearts, ladies!

Meanwhile, Jake was looking super sharp awaiting his beautiful bride outside at the little castle.

He didn’t have to wait long, as Catherine - escorted by her very proud Dad - was right on time. Jake did the decent thing and had a little cry.

The ceremony itself was beautiful. It was short and very sweet and all sealed with a big ol’ smooch and a confetti walk, Just perfect.

There were drinks, canapés and photos in the sunny gardens.

And then Catherine, Jake and I took a little stroll around the grounds of the Ravenswood to get these gorgeous pictures.

Following the wedding breakfast, there was a special moment as Catherine and Jake shared a traditional Chinese tea ceremony with their parents.

And then it was time for the newlyweds to have their first dance together as a married couple.

My favourite part of a wedding is when I get to take the couple outside for a few night time shots. Luckily for me, Catherine and Jake were keen on this and so agreed to let me take them away from their guests for just 10 more minutes to get these beauties!

That’s all for this little preview, folks.

An incredible day for the most wonderful couple. 

I’ll add one or two more pictures from this day to the Facebook and Instagram pages as I edit them, so feel free to follow along and re-live some more beautiful moments.

Huge thanks to all at The Ravenswood for taking such good care of me and for making sure everything ran so smooth. 
Special thanks to Molly who was super helpful all day long.

Thanks too to all of Catherine and Jake’s wonderful guests for making me so welcome.
Special thanks to Jacky and Maha for their dress fluffing skills and to Jenny for being kind enough to round up guests for the group shots. You were all a huge help.
