Cat & Dave's 'Great Gatsby' themed wedding at St Peter's Church, Kinver &, Spring Grove HouseA day that was long-awaited by Cat and Dave's family and friends, planning got underway in earnest after Dave's on-stage proposal at the close of one of Cat's productions on 24th December 2014. From that moment on it was full-steam ahead with the planning of their 'Great Gatsby' themed wedding with excitement building until their big day finally arrived in August 2017. With such a large bridal party, prep was busy to say the least and great fun - especially with takes for their Marryoke of 'summer Nights' (see www.occasions.uk.com) being captured to add to their video package. I knew from Cat's performance background that we were going to be capturing something unique and this was confirmed when I got a taste of the Gatsby theme on being allowed into the bedroom to grab some detail shots and was allowed to see Cat's feather bouquet and her beautiful gown with a bodice of white feathers. I caught up with the boys (looking very dapper in black tie) at St Peter's Church in Kinver which provided the perfect backdrop for their rather emotional wedding ceremony 'especially the part when the boy finally got the girl' - or maybe the other way around! Given the location we always anticipate some flowing veil shots (we have only one blow away once) and, as usual, the wind obliged whilst Cat and Dave kept a firm grip on the veil. Ceremony and family group photos over over, we all moved onto Spring Grove House. A venue that perfectly complimented their Gatsby theme; with the 18th Century Georgian Mansion opulently dressed for their day's events, the theme park to provide a bit of fun for the bridal party visit to the carousel and chair swings and the funky Cellarz venue for a more 'nightclub' feel to their evening. We have photographed Dexter several times during their gigs and so it was great to catch up with the guys again (Cat's extended family) and see them perform at the wedding and knew it wouldn't be too long before Cat would be up to join them to complete the line-up - wedding day or not! Congratulations Mr & Mrs Richard's - it was a blast! For a taste of their day, please take a look at their slideshow but because the autoHD option reduces quality, please select the 720 from the dropdown menu at the bottom right of the viewing screen. Thanks & enjoy!
