Saturday was my birthday! It was also the day that Sass and Dave got married at Westonbirt School in Gloucestershire! I didn’t mind working on my birthday as this couple were such lovely people when I first met them, and we had so much fun on their pre-wedding shoot, so I knew covering their wedding day was going to be a blast!
Sass got ready at The Old Bell Inn with help from her mum and bridesmaid Steph. She had a gorgeous Caroline Castigliano dress that was truly princess-style. About half an hour before the service was due to start I headed over to Westonbirt School to meet up with Dave and the guys. Sass arrived with her dad and made her entrance through the grand front doorway.
The service took place in the school’s library, with beautiful light streaming in through the windows in front of the couple. It was all going so well, until the fire alarm went off! Luckily the service was pretty much over so we all hurried outside whilst the staff confirmed it was a false alarm. Although this meant Sass and Dave missed their grand exit as a married couple, it didn’t matter as next they headed over to the quaint church in the school grounds for a blessing. So we got to do it all over a second time!
The weather was glorious and everyone got to enjoy drinks and canapes outside on the lawns whilst Sass, Dave and I slipped away for some fun portraits.

Sass and Dave’s full gallery will go online in a few weeks time, once they’ve been into the studio to see their photographs for the first time. But in the meantime here are a few of my favourite images:
