A Surprise Kenilworth Wedding!

A Surprise Kenilworth Wedding

So here is a different one for you! This Kenilworth wedding was a total surprise for the guests and even members of the couples family!

I will tell you the story…. So Sarah & Matt had been together for a good 10 years I believe. Now Sarah never wanted to get married, but, whilst on holiday in New York, Matt got down on one knee in Central Park and proposed. Needless to say Sarah said yes, but this left them with a slight dilemma; How to have a wedding, with out actually having a wedding? 2 yeas later and an email pops into my inbox asking if I photograph private parties? “I do” I say, “Tell me more.” And this was the reply – “It is a strange event and probably not something you will ever see again! We are holding our 10year anniversary/engagement party (2years late!). We have a surprise in store for all of the guests as we will actually be getting married. The guests are unaware (other than parents) of the little twist so my plan for photography is to capture the excitement/surprise of the guests. The guests have always been told that we are not interested in getting married so hopefully should not guess the surprise!”

Well, you count me right in! Sounds like great fun! And wasn’t it just!

Sarah looked gorgeous in a little back cocktail dress to meet the guests, while Matt was in a grey suit. Halfway through the ‘party’, Sarah disappeared and Matt ushered everyone into a room that was set up with popcorn and a big screen to all watch a 10 minute video on the couples life. Thanking everyone for being a part of their journey, showing photographs of their life together and ending up with the question “And what next?” Lo and behold, up starts the wedding march, in comes Matt, out come the waterworks and in glides Sarah! The rest of the day took care of itself, and I left a happy, yet still somewhat bewildered marquee behind as the food was being served. Enjoy the photographs, we did!

“Hi Charlotte, I don’t like the photographs, I love them! I can’t stop looking at them, you’ve captured everything so when we look through the book it’s like reliving the day. Thanks you so much, Sarah” Sarah, 23rd March 2014
