Katie and Johnny

I apologise in advance but this is gonna be a biggie post! In fact this is me cutting it down!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it really is such a pleasure to be able to photograph a close friends wedding day. Katie and Johnny's day was no exception. I had to pinch myself when I looked at Katie as we have talked about her day for so long, both as friends and as photographer and bride and to see it unfolding in front of me in such a lovely way was just brilliant.

Saturday was gorgeous in the weather department and the day started at Katie's house

Katie's hair was done by June Robinson and her make up by Deborah Harper

Before I left to see the boys Katie got into her dress and I think I spent my time being more in awe of seeing her all gorgeous in her dress than photographing!

There have been times on a wedding day when we've been able to work the times out for me to photograph the boys getting ready too. It doesn't happen too often but it never fails to make me chuckle at the differences between boys and girls on wedding mornings. I arrived 20 mins before the boys left to head to the church and there was still one of them in a towel (Johnny!)

Johnny and Katie are both teachers and they met when they were made lab partners in University! Johnny is just as lovely as the first day I met him.

The bridesmaids and flowergirls looked gorgeous!

I knew Katie was arriving by horse and cart. Me and my Carly'ness assumed it was going to be a wee wooden horse and cart. Imagine my surprise when I saw this coming towards the church :)

Sneaky looks at each other through a service are my favourites ;)

It would have taken a long time for the horse and cart to get them to the Culloden so Katie and Johnny did part of the journey and then they switched to a good ol classic to get to the reception

Stunning!

The cake was decorated by our lovely friend Loren. Didn't she do an amazing job!!!

The dance floor was a very fun place to be. Katie and Johnny had strictly told me that my evening was to be spent dancing and not photographing, but how could I miss not getting some romance on the dance floor?!

Absolute and MASSIVE congratulations to you both! Have an amazing honeymoon as you jet off on your cruise tomorrow! Cannot wait to see you for a catch up once you return xoxox

P.S I couldn't resist getting a photo with two of my previous brides and friends and current bride ;)
