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.
