The Wedding of Kath and James @ Blackthorpe Barn, Suffolk

The next wedding we photographed in August was Kath and James' wedding which took place at Blackthorpe Barn in Suffolk. We had slightly blustery weather but gorgeous sunshine too for their day so we could enjoy an outdoor reception.

Here's a selection from their day starting with me joining Kath getting ready at Blackthorpe House whilst David started with the groom and guests arriving at the barn:

Kath had her twin sister Ros and James' sister Sarah as bridesmaids - Sarah had kindly recommended us after seeing us photograph one of her friends weddings last year (Alice and Chris' day) and it was great to see her again

Kath looked amazing in her dress

Kath's dad came up to see her in her dress for the first time

Even though Blackthorpe House is right next to the barn they still had a lovely old vintage car to drive them round

Here's the boys arriving

James looked very excited and dashing in his suit

The barn looked beautiful, it was incredibly dark though as the venue shut all the doors during the ceremony and there was very little in the way of lighting which was a bit of a shame but none-the-less we still got lovely photos during the ceremony

Fab confetti ones (I always adore confetti shots as they're so relaxed with everyone enjoying themselves)

This old, gnarly tree trunk looks brilliant in photos and thankfully it was dry so they could sit on it

What a happy couple

Each of the children at the wedding breakfast had a gorgeous bear and gift bag awaiting them

Whilst the adult favours were jars of homemade chutney

The speeches were all good and very emotional in places

A gorgeous cake that the two families had made between them

Kath decided to throw the bouquet in the evening and I think we can see quite a few people here keen to catch it

James' sister Sarah caught it (let's keep our fingers crossed that this might just be a future wedding we'll get to be a part of!)

The band really added a great atmosphere to the evening and an already brilliant day

If you attended Kath and James' Wedding 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.

Kath and James are a lovely, relaxed and sweet couple that we're certain they've got many happy married years ahead of them. We love their images so much and are sad their day's now gone but look forward to designing their album with them soon.

The Suffolk Wedding Show (next Sunday 20th October)

This is just a quick post to let you all know that we are exhibiting at The Suffolk Wedding Show next Sunday (20th October) if you'd like to meet us, view our books and albums and to see if we're exactly what you're looking for in Wedding Photographers.  Details are as follows:

Sunday 20th October 2013
The Suffolk Wedding Show - Wherstead Park, Wherstead, IP9 2BJ
11.00am-3.30pm
We will be on stand 23 (in the marquee)

This show looks to be brilliant again this Autumn and is one we very much enjoy exhibiting at.  The Show is run in conjunction with Heart Radio and there are around 60 exhibitors so it should be a great day with a lot for you to look at.  There are always plenty of photographers at this event so you can find a style to suit you perfectly from the traditional to the complete reportage.  I would put us somewhere in between the two - we capture your day in a natural, informal and relaxed way but we do take some formal shots as well as most of our couples are looking for a mix of the two to keep everyone happy!

It's always lovely to see so many people and we'll have lots of beautiful books and gorgeous albums for you to look at.  If you feel like having a chat with us we'll try our best to answer any questions you have and hopefully we'll be available on your date to photograph your day.  We'll also have a very special offer running on the show day (and for a short period after) for those who take the time to come and see us and want to book us for their day :-)

Next year is booking up fast and we have just opened our books for 2015 so please get in touch with us as soon as you can if you are interested in us photographing your day for you. We hate turning people away when we're booked for your dates so please do get in early especially if it's a Saturday between April-October (our most popular months)!

If you can't make this show please don't worry though there's plenty on my Website for you to look at and we can arrange meetings at other times to get together.

I'll blog this again next week to remind you all of the date.  We look forward to seeing you there and hope to be photographing many of your weddings soon
