Elizabeth & Lewis: Winter Wedding at Horwood House

Elizabeth and Lewis's wedding day at Horwood House was a very special one to shoot as they are dear friends of me and my second shooter! It was such a huge honour to be asked to shoot it and it was just as wonderful as we expected.

They embraced the Christmas timing of their wedding day with touches of red and icy sparkles in their decorations. Elizabeth wore a gorgeous lace dress paired with Louboutin heels and even brought her heeled Timberlands along for photos outdoors after the ceremony - love it!

They held their ceremony in the Manor Lounge and exchanged handwritten vows, and I won't deny that I was tearing up behind my camera! After the ceremony we took portraits in front of the beautiful fireplace, and Elizabeth and Lewis were brave enough to heading for some cute rainy portraits complete with umbrellas and overcoats!

Thank you so much for having us photograph your gorgeous day, Elizabeth & Lewis!

Lily & James: 1920s Wedding at Shuttleworth Mansion House

Ahhhhh I have been so excited to share this wedding - Lily & James' wedding day was just beautiful and really testament to the magic that unfolds when there is a strong vision behind a wedding day. Their wedding day was 1920s from top to toe, in everything from Lily's intricately beaded Phase Eight wedding dress, to the groomsmen's straw boaters and striped blazers, and of course groom James' dapper white suit and cane.

They held their ceremony at Providence Baptist Chapel in Bedford, before heading to the beautiful Shuttleworth Mansion House as the setting for their celebrations. It's always a pleasure to return to this stunning location, and it worked so well with their vision for their big day!

Claire & Matt: Elegant Woburn Sculpture Gallery Wedding

I've shot at the Woburn Sculpture Gallery quite a bit as a second shooter, but never as the "boss" so I was particularly excited for Claire & Matt's big day. It's a stunning venue and the floor-to-ceiling windows make it a photographers dream with lots of beautiful natural light everywhere!

Claire and her girls got ready in one of the Woburn Hotel cottages, which made for a lovely morning together buzzing with excitement. I was so thrilled to turn up to find two of my favourite ladies working their hair and makeup magic: Ali Kynoch & Kate Atalay.

The Sculpture Gallery made for the perfect venue, it has such a big wow factor and it matched Claire's classic, elegant bridal style in such a wonderful way. Claire looked amazing in her Sophia Tolli dress, and she carried a bouquet of pink and white roses and gypsophila.

I just loved the way that Matt looked at Claire as her brother walked her down the aisle, and he looked at her with those same eyes all day, with so much love behind them.

After leaving their ceremony under giant confetti cannons, their guests headed out for drinks and canapés on the patio whilst we disappeared for a drive around the Woburn estate for photographs. No matter how many times I visit, I am always staggered by the beauty of the place with its rolling fields and herds of deer. It's gorgeous!

Thank you Claire & Matt for asking me to capture your beautiful day <3

Thank you so much for photographing us on our wedding day. You did an amazing job and we can’t thank you enough! You were both excellent to work with and nothing was too much trouble for you when asked and we will definitely be recommending you to others in the future.

Thank you for providing us with a lot more photos than we expected! We really are so grateful. I’m not sure how we will be able to narrow down the ones we want to frame!

Steph & Owen: Rustic Pastel Wedding at Bassmead Manor Barns

Returning to Bassmead Manor Barns is always wonderful - it is such a fab venue and is so versatile to each couple's wedding style! Steph & Owen chose a pastel, vintage look for their big day, with pinks, purples and white hues in their flowers and rustic hessian decorations.

Steph's two lovely bridesmaids and niece and nephew lead the way into their wedding ceremony in the Rickety Barn. One of the nicest parts of my job when standing at the front of a wedding ceremony is seeing the faces of the closest friends and family of a bride and groom as they say their vows - there is always so much love in the room and Steph & Owen's big day was no different!

They left their ceremony under a cloud of confetti, and we were so fortunate to have the beautiful roses by the manor in full bloom for their photographs. After this quiet moment together, they returned for their wedding breakfast to a round of applause from everyone they love.

Their evening was a wonderfully relaxed affair with a lovely chunk of silliness thrown in to the mix, with a magician there to entertain everybody and lots of selfie props for fab photos. They danced their first dance under pink lights, and we left everybody to dance the night away.

Thank you so much Steph & Owen! Your day was a joy to photograph and I wish you every happiness for the future.


"Thank you so much for our photos, it was a pleasure having you both there and I'm honestly blown away by what we have received in our album. They are truly fabulous and absolutely perfect - you are both very talented and I couldn't have wished for more!" - Steph & Owen

Christina & Matt: Shuttleworth Mansion House Wedding

What I love about the Shuttleworth Mansion House is that it always offers a beautiful Plan B in case of rain, and that is exactly what we needed on Christina & Matt's beautiful wedding day. Their ceremony was originally planned for the outdoor Garden Room, but we were so lucky to have the gorgeous Billiard Room as the indoor option when it started to rain and it just looked stunning!

Their small, intimate ceremony was wonderful and there wasn't a dry eye in the room (including the ones behind my camera!). I just love the way they look at each other and their faces as they walked back down the aisle!

We were so lucky in that the rain held up for just enough time after the ceremony for confetti, family photos & portraits, right down to the minute as we ended up having to walk back to the house under umbrellas as the rain poured down. Eek!

Their first dance took place on the sparkliest light up dance floor, and then everybody headed outside for a spectacular firework display - the perfect way to end the night.

Congratulations Christina & Matt! Wonderful couples like you make this the best job in the world.


"My wife and I have been impressed with Cat ever since our first conversation. She is a
true professional and clearly loves her work. Her portfolio is breathtakingly good and we are
happy to say our wedding photos are equally as impressive. Every request we made had
been fulfilled without hesitation. Cat truly captured the essence of our big day and every
time we have looked through our photos it is like reliving our day again and again!"
- Christina & Matt
