The Wedding of Clare and Mark @ Cley Windmill, Norfolk

The last wedding we photographed before Christmas was Clare and Mark's wedding which took place at Cley Windmill in Norfolk. It was a lovely intimate day and we were honoured to both be a part of it. The weather held out for us so we even all managed to get down to the beach at Cley for some photos. All of you were so brave putting up with the cold weather but we're glad you did as the photos are definitely worth it. I started with Clare getting ready in the Windmill and David started with the boys and all the other guests getting ready (also in the Windmill)

Here's a selection from their day:

Clare (and her dress) were both very beautiful

I love Clare's shoes

Both Clare and her dad cried when he saw her - I love this photo

During the ceremony only I could be in the room with them as it's really tight for space and there wouldn't really be anywhere for David to stand or sit to get photos as well

I always love photos at the Windmill as it's a very distinct venue and there are gorgeous views across the marsh from the balcony

Clare was very brave and made her own bouquet the night before.  It was really nice to hear that all the girls had got together the night before and they all made their other halves buttonholes to wear so each buttonhole was unique

Such a funky bowtie and shirt

Then down to the beach for some hot chocolate and group shots - and a quick change into wellies

Mark in his uniform for a few photos

I just adore beach photos and being winter it's nice not to have lots of people in them - I think our only spectator was a curious seal and fisherman

Back in the warmth of the windmill and a bit of relaxing time before the speeches and dinner

If you attended Clare and Mark's Wedding (or if you couldn't attend this as the Windmill is very limiting on numbers but attended their party a few days later) and would like to view their wedding photos they are online now, there is a password but I'm sure they'll be happy to share it with you.

Clare and Mark are a very funny couple who made us laugh a lot and they were a pleasure to photograph. Their friends and family were all very welcoming to us and made us feel like a special part of their day. We are certain that Clare and Mark will have a very happy future ahead of them and we are delighted that they have just told us that they're now expecting their first baby.
