This weekend Ian and I had the honour of photographing Kathryn and Theo’s gorgeous wedding at Rectory Farm in Cambridgeshire. It was special for lots of reasons, it was the first Jewish wedding I had photographed in nearly 8 years, and they decided to have a first look before the ceremony (very popular in the US but less so here) which was such a beautifully touching and emotional moment and I was pretty stoked to share with them.
But there was one thing that seemed even more special, it was a really wedding of sisterly love. From Theo’s beautiful sisters who were part of the bridesmaid clan, to her mums special bond with her own sister and Kathryn’s aunt to of course her own gorgeous sisters who all walked down the aisle with her. I loved her older sister Kira’s speech, which felt special to me as I have two sisters myself. And of course one of my sister is a Katie (as Kathryn often calls herself) and Kathryns younger sister is called Julia. As the beautiful Julia said to me as we were about to leave it is “Kismet” a jewish word for fate or destiny, and I like to think its fate I get to share the day with all my lovely brides. I will share more of the beautiful bridesmaids at a later date but for now here is a sneak peek of Kathryn and Theo, at their first look and stealing a kiss after the ceremony… (the ceremony was outside so it was a little chilly but Kathryns coat complimented her dress beautifully)
