Busy bees!

Few what a busy few days!

Delighted to get an email from Aaron and Jennie who are currently honeymooning in Sardinia (lucky things!) and they say "fantastic!" Hurrah!

Those emails mean so much to us, we're confident in what we do but it is always great to see the confirmation!

Rachel and Toby Maloy came for dinner on Friday, first time we have seen them since the wedding, and they were positively glowing - so lovely to see them so happy!! Tom has started designing them a book, and they were happy with the style, so it's full steam ahead with that one! We had a lovely catch up over a nice homely beef casserole (made by Lina) and we are really greatful to them for coming all the way over to us, as it's a good hour and a bit's drive for them!

The following morning we got ready for our last wedding of the season. Adriano and Virginie booked us last year as they love Tom's artistic work which is great, it meant Tom could go for it. Lina also had a camera for the first time, working as second shooter to capture those moments Tom might have lost. Very enjoyable!

The couple had a really relaxed day with a simple ceremony at Cambridge Registry Office followed by pictures, speeches and music upon the Castle Hill, and then a really nice walk for all (bar the pregnant and elderly!) to Jesus Green. Adriano proposed to Virginie on the green so we had a really nice moment where he relived the experience to everyone,ahhh!

One of the things we really enjoy doing weddings is taking the bride and groom away from it all for half an hour or so to take some more intimate pictures. We ask them to take a walk, have a chat etc and essentially pap them. Most couples find this is the first time all day they have been (pretty much) alone together and most find it very enjoyable to just take a breather. These shots are usually really lovely...

The couple kindly asked us to stay and have a drink with them at the reception which we were delighted to do as we have got to know them well and like them very much. Actually we have been very very lucky with all our couples this year, they are all super people and we wish them the very best for their futures together.

We treated ourselves to a Taj take away in the evening. The best Indian restaurant in Cambridge we tell you! The Taj Cambridge

The Wedding of Rachel and Toby

Aw what a lovely day! You could definitely feel the love in the room! Rachel looked absolutely gorgeous. I'd seen a picture of the dress before but her super mum Janet had made some modifications and it was perfect. The guys also looked great and the purple theme was nice and bright, perfect for a summer wedding.

Another super venue, The Swan Hotel in Bedford by the river, gorgeous food and a great atmosphere. The camera again did another 12 hour stint but it was worth it! The photos are great and we have another happy couple!

"The photos look amazing, we're very chuffed with the results!"

We premiered our latest offer at this wedding and we hope to roll it out as part of our full day wedding package from the autumn. We introduced the Photobooth, where we set up a mini studio at the evening reception and encourage the guests and happy couple to let their hair down infront of the camera - and they sure did! The results are hilarious and I am sure these will be the pictures that the bride and groom laugh over when they are old and grey!

Thanks to Toby and Rachel we stayed at the hotel and had a lovely swim in the spa the next morning, much needed after a very late night! We had breakfast with rachel's family the next day, her parents Janet and Roger have worked so hard to make the day special and they are lovely lovely people.

Here are the results...
