Beth & Shaun’s King Arthur Celebration

Beth and Shaun were originally supposed to be married in 2020, but because of the pandemic, everything was put on hold, I marked the date by photographing their pre-wedding session at the King Arthur. They gave me a date for 2021 and we put hope on that being their day, and although there were huge developments and improvements, the number of people you could have at a wedding hadn’t really got to where they wanted. So Beth and Shaun had their church wedding with the plan to have a celebration a year later, so here we are…

Beth and her party had hair and makeup done in Tonna, then made their way down to the King Arthur for dressing.

After a while Shaun and his groomsmen, along with the tiniest best man appeared. During the year the pair had become parents.

They didn’t have a ceremony, once the guests arrived they started to celebrate, I took this opportunity to photograph the candid shots.

I photographed the groups while everyone was being entertained by an amazing saxophonist.

I photographed the large group shot from the roof just before we went in for food and speeches.

The decor was absolutely gorgeous, a lovely selection of pinks and purples adorning the staircase, top table and centrepieces. Their cake from Centre Stage Cakes was amazing and featured a gondola, as thats where Shaun proposed.

The speeches were lovely, I love hearing the funny little stories about my couples during the speeches.

As always I always opt for the evening light for portraits, I’m not having to contend with full force mid day sun this way and its always more flattering.
