Wedding: Swaffham Prior, Cambridge – Holly and Phil
Oh no, I’ve done it again. Another epic photo post.
Holly and Phil tied the knot a few weeks back in Swaffham Prior,Cambridge. Phil had contacted me last year having seen this very blog and decided I was the one for their wedding. I have to say I was honoured when they booked without even meeting me! Fast forward 9months and we all finally got the chance to meet for a drink at TheSnug while I was passing through Cambridge. I’m always a touch nervous meeting a couple for the first time, especially when they’ve already booked, but with Holly and Phil I really lucked out. We all got on like a house on fire and Phil filled me in on some of his cunning and devious plans for the day.
The day started with me photographing Holly getting ready at the Mead village (Phil’s Dad really has built an entire village in theCambridge countryside) and Tom (my trusty second photographer) covering Phil. I love covering the girls getting ready; there’s always so much going on and you can feel the excitement in the air. I was a bit sad last week when I wasn’t allowed to be with my own Holly getting ready for our wedding!
The venue itself was a real treat: Phil had really gone to town on the marquee. I haven’t seen quite so much work put into a marquee in a long time and it really paid off. From the amazing cupcake table through to the trees covered in candles it really was a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple.
I guess it’s time for me to get on with the photos so I’ll start with this one.
More after the jump!
Love this one of the bridesmaids seeing Holly’s sister (and flowergirl) made up for the first time. Holly’s actually a primary school teacher and there were plenty of adorable kids around!

More adventures soon,
