adam and carla {wedding}

The Beetle & Wedge near Goring was the location for Adam and Carla’s lovely waterside wedding on Saturday. The whole day including the ceremony was held at the venue, right on the river Thames.

To be able to have the outdoors ceremony Carla and Adam had to officially get wed at the register office earlier in the morning, but that meant that they could then have the unofficial wedding wherever they liked. Plus I was allowed to shoot throughout the ceremony and the registrars were really nice and relaxed which made it extra nice for me!

Carla’s theme for the day was sunflowers and they really brightened the place everywhere the guests went, very cheerful! It was also being great right next to the river seeing all the boats go past with people waving, and the gorgeous swans with their baby signets who came to say hello!

I must also mention Carla’s amazing Mum Ana (who runs Silva Cakes) - she not only made the wedding cake, but also Carla’s stunning wedding dress! I could not believe my ears when Carla told me! What a talented mum!

Carla’s beautiful engagement ring:

Not entirely appropriate, but it tickled me!

Beautiful yellow sunflowers everywhere!

Adam was not really into the whole posing for the camera kinda deal, so I gave the groom shots a nice and laidback vibe and I’m pretty sure I heard later on in the day he was actually quite enjoying being photographed

The Clarendon Quartet provided the lovely music

I loved Carla’s fantastic laugh! I have never seen someone smile so much all day!
