I’m a huge fan of Rye and in particular The George Inn, its such a gorgeous place, very relaxing and comfortable. Whenever I get some free time I escape to Rye and book in at The George – it’s the perfect place to recharge your batteries.
Katie and Ian’s tied the knot at the town hall, which is a short walk up the hill from The George. With its huge windows, it’s a great location to shoot and I love the feel of the place. A wedding in Rye has such charm, local people stop what they are doing to have a look (the people in the pie shop – “Simon the Pieman” stopped serving to take a look at the newlyweds) and others gather around as the town crier announces the marriage on the steps of the town hall. We wandered off for some shots in the cobbled lanes and the town crier waited for us patiently, so he could lead the couple down the hill to their waiting guests at The George.
Katie and Ian were such a lovely couple, really relaxed and happy. The whole day had a really lovely vibe to it and this, I’m sure, was testament to them as a couple. I know a lot of brides follow this blog and my advice to those planning a wedding is: plan it, then when the day arrives, enjoy it! There’s nothing more you can do and what will be, will be. The best weddings are always those that have a happy couple at the center.
Here are some of my favourites (it’s a bigger blog post than normal – to keep you going over Christmas!)
Pretty shoes!
Katie’s “something borrowed” were these beautiful earings
The bridesmaids dresses were from Coast
Katie wore a stunning Jenny Packham number
Married!
Who would have thought it was December!
These favours were delicious French macaroons
The cup cakes were really tasty – Katie packed me off with a little bag containing two of the delights. They were to die for!
Cup cakes by The Primrose Bakery
The room looked so Christmassy!
This shot really does not tell the story of how it was obtained – I had to crawl through the back of the laundry cupboard to get onto the balcony. Bizarre!
Congratulations Ian & Katie! Enjoy Hawaii!
