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.
What an incredible day yesterday for Amy and Dec at the wonderful Froyle Park. The venue looked incredible, the sun came out and the couple were utterly amazing!
Dec arrived with his boys and like true gents, got spruced up in the car park.
Meanwhile Amy and her girls were having a blast upstairs getting ready. Laughing and joking… And dancing to Cotton Eye Joe!
As show time approached, Amy’s Dad came to collect her - and was obviously completely blown away!
And then it was time for the magic moment. Dec was eagerly awaiting his beautiful bride, but first the bridal party had to pave the way. And they all did brilliantly.
Amy then made her big entrance, and needless to say she looked completely stunning and knocked Dec’s socks off. Check out that look on his face!
At this point things got a little emotional and Dec did the decent thing and had a little cry.
He wasn’t the only one, of course. The ceremony itself was lovely. There was tears and there was laughter and most importantly, there was a big old smooch to seal the deal.
Man, were their guests keen to pelt them with confetti. That stuff got everywhere!
After Amy and Dec had pruned confetti off of each other, we took a stroll around the glorious grounds at Froyle Park to get these beautiful photos.
Then we re-joined the guests for some group shots, drinks and mingling.
After the wedding breakfast had been eaten, the speeches had been expertly delivered, and many drinks had been enjoyed, it was time for Amy and Dec to enjoy their first dance together as a married couple.
And then the moment was upon us. Party time! What does a Monday wedding look like at party time you ask? Well in this case… Epic!
These people did not care one jot that it was a school night. It was time to dance!
Right before it was time for me to leave them to it, I stole Amy and Dec away from their guests for just 5 more minutes to grab these wonderful night time pictures.
That’s all for this little preview, folks.

Thanks too to all of Amy and Dec’s wonderful guests for making me so welcome. Special thanks to Lara for her dress fluffing skills and to Jamie for being kind enough to round up guests for the group shots. Both of you were a huge help.
Hands up if you had a blast at Amy and Dec’s wedding!
Steph and Dan had an unforgettable wedding day at the stunning Cantley House Hotel. From their preparations to the gorgeous ceremony and lively reception, it was a celebration to remember.
Both Steph and Dan got ready at the hotel, surrounded by their loved ones. Steph enjoyed a relaxed and joyful atmosphere with her girls…
While Dan and his Dad prepared upstairs, looking dapper for the occasion.
Before we knew it, it was showtime. Dan was waiting for his beautiful bride and, if you know Steph, you won’t be surprised to learn that she was right on time!
The ceremony itself was just lovely. Short and sweet and all sealed with a big ol’ smooch!
Afterwards, the guests eagerly showered the newlyweds with confetti, capturing the excitement and joy of the moment.
And then it was time for me to whisk the happy couple off for a walk around the stunning gardens for these gorgeous photos.
We rejoined the guests for group shots and mingling. Steph and her bridesmaids had a fun idea of tossing their bouquets into the air, resulting in some entertaining moments as they proved to be better throwers than catchers!
After a delicious wedding breakfast had been eaten, much wine and been enjoyed and some excellent speeches had been delivered, it was time for Steph and Dan to have their first dance together as a married couple.
And then… PARTY TIME!
Right before it was time for me to leave, Steph and Dan came outside with me for 10 minutes so that we could get a few night photos. I love this part of a wedding. I get to be all creative and at the same time get a quiet moment to congratulate and thank the couple. And I love these photographs!
That’s all for this little preview, folks.

Huge thanks to all at Cantley House Hotel for taking such good care of me and for making sure everything ran so smooth. Special thanks to Dianne who was a joy to work with and an absolute star!
Thanks too to all of Steph and Dan’s wonderful guests for making me so welcome. Especially to Rachel for her dress fluffing skills, Zoe for her talent of light-hearted teasing and Rob for being kind enough to round up guests for the group shots.
