Anna & Joe: Waverton Church & Harthill Weddings Marquee Wedding

I always say that I’ll travel wherever I am needed for weddings, and this time Anna & Joe’s gorgeous day took us up north to Chester! Lovely Anna spent the morning getting ready at her parents’ beautiful home, and I just can’t put into words just how lovely everybody was and how well looked after I felt! Meeting wonderful people is one of the many things that makes being a wedding photographer the best job in the world, and Anna & Joe’s family and friends were no exception.

Vibrant pinks, purples and blues decorated their wedding day, with flowers made by a family friend and Anna’s bridesmaids wearing a gorgeous shade of blue. I just love the Sally Lacock dress that Anna chose – it was just beautifully simple and elegant, and looked so comfortable too. 

Their ceremony was held at Waverton church, and the weather only just held on until they stepped out into confetti in the pouring rain! I love couples that just go with the flow and that is exactly what Anna & Joe did – just look at those smiles as they head to their London bus under an umbrella!

A marquee at Harthill Weddings in Burwardsley made the perfect blank canvas for their day, which they filled with rustic decorations, urns of flowers and the most gorgeous table plan made from a picnic basket with hydrangeas spilling out of it. Love it.

As the sun set, we couldn’t resist grabbing a silhouetted photo outdoors with all the bell jars and fairy lights they set up along the staircase, before leaving everybody to dance the night away to a fabulous band. Congratulations Anna & Joe! I loved your day.


“We were absolutely delighted we asked Cat to be our wedding photographer - both because of how she was on the day and the photos she took. Her communications in advance was great, and she did everything she said she would, and more on the day. We hardly noticed her on the day (in a good way!) but expertly manoeuvred our guests to get the photos we wanted. The pictures she took were beautiful and absolutely captured every moment in the style we hoped for. we couldn’t have been happier!” - Anna & Joe

Jess & Graham: Rainy Tipi Wedding in Wing, Buckinghamshire

Honesty time: I think I nearly squealed with happiness when I saw Jess's bridal outfit hanging up as I arrived - sparkly bridal separates! She paired a sequinned top with a white skirt, and suede Aquazzura heels for a comfortable yet gorgeous bridal look. I love couples who plan their wedding day to suit them, and her look really illustrated the way they approached their big day.

The day started with everybody heading out in a convoy of red, blue and white classic convertibles to their church in Wing. They enjoyed a lovely, relaxed ceremony, and just as we all left the heavens opened, but this of course didn't stop everybody grabbing ice cream from Elsie's Ices on the way out!

They held their celebrations at Jess's grandparents' farm, a place dear to her heart. Their venue was three fab tipis, decorated in aqua and blue lanterns and honeycomb balls, with each table named after a classic car. I especially fell in love with their beautiful hand-painted table plan and signs, generously created for them by a friend and decorated with blue painted flowers.

In between rain showers we managed to run out to shoot portraits and family photos, and the fallen rain made for incredibly saturated colours in their photos. Beautiful.

The evening began with no formal first dance, just pure fun and joy dancing to awesome band Big in Brazil. What a great day, that suited them perfectly. Thank you guys!


“Cat was so helpful and lovely during the run up to the big day and on the day. We are
absolutely delighted with our photos, they are beyond perfect!”
- Jess & Graham

Yulia & Romain: Mayfair Library Wedding & Reception at The Orrery, Marylebone

Yulia & Romain's wedding brought me back to Mayfair Library for the third time. I just love shooting here - its beautiful understated elegance is perfect for intimate wedding ceremonies and with Mount St Gardens next door it is just great for photographs!

They arrived in a taxi to friends and family waiting outside the venue and a round of applause when they stepped out of the car! Yulia looked incredible in her simple yet beautiful white dress with flowing sleeves, carrying pink roses and white freesias.

After the ceremony we headed to Mount Street Gardens for photographs, followed by a walk through beautiful sunny London to Marylebone High Street, where we stopped at French restaurant The Orrery for a reception on the terrace. With family visiting from France and Ukraine for the wedding, there was lots of catching up to do, complete with champagne and fabulous canapés before dinner!

Yulia & Romain, I'm so honoured you asked me to capture your big day. Wishing you the hugest of congratulations!


"Cat provided outstanding support during the preparation stage and delivered absolutely gorgeous photographs following our wedding. Moreover, she made a great contribution during the wedding itself with her cheerful attitude, kindness, and the ability to gently organise guests when necessary to take group photos. The result was the wedding album full of natural, spontaneous and beautifully presented photographs which captured the best moments of our special day.” - Yulia & Romain

Amy & David: Pastel DIY Outdoor Wedding at Furtho Manor Farm

Amy & David's wedding day was a vibrant, sunshine filled day from start to finish and filled with beautiful homemade details everywhere you looked. Furtho Manor Farm was the perfect canvas for their day, with its spacious barn that they draped in fabric, fairy lights and ribbon, and the field by the lake where they held their ceremony.

I just love love loved Amy's elegant bridal style, with her Justin Alexander lace overlay dress and Rachel Simpson shoes she is a girl after my own heart! She walked down the aisle with her dad to two friends playing the guitar and violin, with friends and family sat on haybales all around. Amy & David said their vows in front of a spectacular floral arch, decorated by my favourite florist, The Basement Florist, in hydrangeas and Juliet roses.

Whilst the ceremony took place, guests participated in a ring warming tradition, with Amy & David’s wedding rings being passed around whilst the ceremony took place, to have their rings blessed with the love of friends and family - such a wonderful idea!

I'll always remember this wedding day because their wedding portraits had a bit of an unexpected twist when we found a little frog which had jumped inside Amy's wedding dress whilst we were shooting – it was such a funny moment and I’m so thrilled we were able to capture it before he jumped back into the grass! 

The relaxed, fun vibe of their day continued in the sunshine with garden games, a barbecue buffet style wedding breakfast, dancing into the night and bubble guns and mini tipis for the children to play in. My favourite weddings have a real focus on not only celebrating love but being fantastic fun for everybody there, and the wonderful Amy & David achieved this perfectly with their day.

Amy & David, I couldn't be more honoured that you asked me to photograph your beautiful wedding day. I wish you every happiness for the future!


"WOW! They are far more beautiful than we ever expected (although we knew how talented you were!) we love them, can't wait to share them with nearest and dearest. You are truly wonderful - thank you so so much!" - Amy & David

Beth & Matt: Heartfelt Pastel Wedding at Moggerhanger Park

Ohhhh Beth & Matt's wedding day was just wonderful and so filled with love, not just between themselves but as a celebration of their faith too. They were married at Woodside Church in Bedford, in a heartfelt ceremony with an upbeat church band bringing an element of worship to their day too. The one thing that I remember most about this day is all the little looks between Beth & Matt during the ceremony, beaming with excitement!

After the ceremony, they shared a mini cake-cutting for their church friends and then left in a gorgeous Morris Minor to Moggerhanger Park, the setting for their reception. The flowers in the gardens were in full bloom and it was just a joy to photograph their portraits there.

The reception room at Moggerhanger was the perfect lilac colour to the point where you'd have thought it had been painted to match the colour scheme, set off by lots of handmade flower arrangements in purples, pinks and whites. A friend of the couple had wrapped the staircase rail in vines and roses, and Beth's lovely mum had created all the bouquets and centrepieces, heading to local flower wholesaler Savins and buying gerbera daisies, hydrangeas, roses and gyp to decorate their day with.

With their first dance held amongst a sea of pink and white balloons, you'd swear you were in a film or fairytale as everyone danced the night away to a family friend playing acoustic songs. Thank you Matt & Beth for asking me to photograph your gorgeous day - it was wonderful from start to finish!


"Oh wow - the photos are just incredible, thank you both so, so much! We have had a lovely evening looking through them all and re-living the day. Everyone we have shown the photos to have commented on how amazing they are, and we really appreciate everything you did on the day, we were so relaxed throughout.

Thank you once again for all your hard work and for being such an amazing part of our day, we will cherish these memories forever. Now to pick our favourites, I think it might be impossible!" - Beth & Matt
