S he’s been patiently waiting for 2 weeks now whilst I went to my brother James’s wedding (who also filmed Clemmy & Alex’s wedding) in Scotland followed by a family holiday, but that wait is now over. Drum roll… ta da!
I was especially looking forward to photographing this one it being the latest in a sequence of weddings that began many years ago with the most recent in that chain being Ali & George’s marquee wedding at Jervaulx Abbey in April.
But this was Clem & Alex’s day with a beautiful ceremony at Ripon Cathedral, my second in as many weeks, followed by a reception at the ever fantastic Swinton Park (30-40 weddings covered to date at the venue!) near Masham in North Yorkshire.
It was one of those golden days of early Summer when the sun just shone from start to finish and though it’s the one thing you can plan for, you simply cannot order it.
And they had butterflies! Friends from Australia had arranged for butterflies to be delivered and released during the drinks reception and absolutely no rhopalocera (I looked it up!) were hurt during the making of this wedding day.
Clementine wore Caroline Castigliano from Harrogate Bridal Collection and the bridesmaids grey/blue dresses. The floristry was by a friend Sasha and the car a Bentley.
The bride made the cake! Music during the day was provided by Groove Anatomy with the full band in the evening and the couple honeymooned in Tuscany, Florence and Venice.
