The one thing I’ll always remember about Christina & Chris’s wedding way was the music. With Chris as a professional trumpet player, it was only natural that their day was going to be filled with the most fantastic and consciously chosen music at every step along the way – and that’s exactly what it was.

The city of Bath was the backdrop for their day, firstly with their wedding ceremony at the stunning setting of Bath Abbey, followed by celebrations at Bath Guildhall.

I just gasped when I walked into the Abbey – it felt like a royal wedding with those tall ceilings, beautiful stained glass windows and the music that Chris had composed filling the room. The choir and band featured Chris’s friends and industry peers and it really felt like everybody joined forces to make their day as special and as personal as possible.

Christina looked beautiful as she walked down the aisle with her dad, carrying a bouquet of roses and eucalyptus, dotted with paper flowers made from sheet music. I’m pretty sure they spotted me tearing up at one point in the ceremony, half-hidden behind the giant Christmas tree as I shot their vows!

The beautiful carved wooden gates of the Abbey made for a beautiful backdrop as they left their ceremony to confetti, at one point with a guest chucking a whole box of it over Christina which of course made for a fantastic photo! Afterwards, we took a short walk to the Guildhall for their reception in the stunning ballroom, with tables themed on their love of gin and music.

During their speeches, they were treated to video messages of congratulations from their favourite rugby team as a wonderful surprise! The excellent music continued throughout their day, including during reception drinks and most importantly an incredible band in the evening, with vibrant colours lighting up the ballroom as they danced the night away.

Thank you both so much for having us along to capture your wonderful day!

“Cat was the most stunning photographer we could have asked for on our wedding day. She captured every little look, every cute kid moment, every guest and every smile - especially the moments that passed us by in a whirlwind of a day. We ended up with the most stunning collection of images that we keep looking back on.

We had SO many compliments as well about Cat, her manner, her skill and her kindness. She managed to get the balance perfect between achieving the formal shots but not making them feel staged or forced, as well as all the beautiful, informal reportage shots.

I couldn’t have dreamt that someone would capture our day so perfectly and would recommend Cat to anyone in a heartbeat.”
