I love Christmas weddings – and what is even better than a Christmas wedding? A snowy Christmas wedding! Becky & James studied together at Cambridge University and went back to Selwyn College for their beautiful wedding. After picking their way through the snowy quad, they had a moving church wedding service in Selwyn College Chapel, complete with Christmas carols from the choir. Everyone spilled out onto the snowy Cambridge quad for beautiful group photos, framed by the arched wooden doorway to the chapel. With the temperature below zero, we were able to use the chapel for couple portraits – and to capture the incredible train on Becky’s Sophia Tolli wedding dress. After this we moved into the cozy, lamp lit, formal hall for speeches and then dancing to a live swing band by the giant Christmas tree.
If you loved this snowy Christmas wedding you might also like this Christmas wedding at Clare College Cambridge (or to check out what a summer Cambridge College wedding looks like!). If you’re planning a winter wedding then this gorgeous barn wedding in the Cotswolds has plenty of inspiration for large celebrations – or this intimate London elopement at a London Town Hall is packed with ideas for small winter weddings. I’ve collaborated with some of my favourite wedding suppliers to pull together top tips for winter wedding planning, and even a special festive blog of Christmas wedding planning tips. You can see more of my storytelling wedding photography here and I’d love to talk to you about capturing your special day – please send me a message.
