Wedding: Cooling Castle Barn – Cat and Matt
Edit: I’ve just put up Cat and Matt’s wedding website. Check it out here.
So hands up who remembers Cat and Matt’s engagement session? Well if you don’t go check it out. These guys are hilarious and on Saturday I had the privilege of shooting their wedding at Cooling Castle Barn in Kent. Awesome venue, hell it even has a castle in the grounds, could anybody ask for a more photogenic location?
Anyway there’s far too many great photos to share them all so here’s part of the story. I began the morning with Cat and the girls getting ready at Smudge’s hair dressers in Sidcup…
Hit the jump for the photos…





Matt had written his own vows. Quite simply the most romantic speech I’ve ever heard, had nearly all the congregation members in tears. To be honest, I don’t blame them, I was close myself! I think Holly managed to get it on video so I’ll add it soon, but I fear it could be a touch wobbly since she succumbed to the speech too.


After the ceremony we all headed out for first champagne then the formals. I have to confess I haven’t had so much fun shooting formals in a long time, especially the stags and hens. Can you guess Matt is a touch happy to be married?

And the girls. Oh the girls, when I could get them to put their legs away we got some fab pictures too (not to say the photos of the legs weren’t fab as well… naturally…
)







Well next Friday it’s the turn of Kate and Paul. You’ve got a lot to live up to guys!
