Liza & Jean-Luc get married | At Bene’t’s Church & Corpus Christi College, Cambridge
Jean-Luc and Liza got married in the centre of Cambridge. I was delighted to be asked to photograph their wedding, firstly because Cambridge is my hometown, secondly, I got married in Cambridge last year and I know the potential for wonderful photographs is everywhere but finally and most importantly because Jean-Luc is a fellow photographer so it was a real privilege to be asked!
I randomly met Jean-Luc on a train to France a good few years back. We seemed to be heading for the exact same destination as we kept bumping into him on each transfer to and from France. We got chatting and I found out he was a photographer so had plenty to chat about. I later discovered that Jean-Luc and I have a friend in common and we have continued to bump into each other randomly over the years! I am so glad that Jean-Luc asked me to photograph their special day. It really was a special day with lots of thought put into how the day would unfold.
Jean-Luc and Liza got married at Shire Hall registry office in the morning, followed by a blessing at St Bene’t’s church in the afternoon. This was then followed by a wonderful reception at Corpus Christi College in the evening. Liza had two dresses for the day, and she looked absolutely stunning in each of them! Jean-Luc looked dashing in his two outfits too (bar the Arsenal cufflinks :))
Cambridge is a photographer’s dream, with amazing detail almost everywhere you look. The venues chosen by Jean-Luc and Liza were no exception! Each venue had its own charm and beauty.
A wonderful wedding for a wonderful couple. I feel privileged to have been a part of their day.
A special thanks, as ever to Charlie my wonderful second photographer.
They’re really good Geoff!
Subtle oblique line of greenery that goes across the top two pictures!…
Can’t wait to see the rest…
Julien
Thanks Julien. Liked the fact that you noticed the line of greenery too! Not many would 😉
You & Lucy up next! Can’t wait to see you at the altar!
Nice ones Geoff.
You did justice to the photographer 🙂
-Shine.
Thanks Shine, good to hear from you. You star on there too! 🙂
And I forgot to say, thanks for all your help on the day. We all agreed; you were the perfect best man 🙂
Am I too late in congratulating a FAB duo of photographers !?? You were fab before our big day, on the day and afterwards ! A true great wedding photographer ! Could not have been happier with the results !
Thank you JL, you being happy makes us happy, that’s all we strive for! It was a great honour being there and capturing your big day. What a picture you both looked. This is one of my busiest blog posts to date so shows you’re a popular, much loved couple too! Big love x
Was doing a wedding photographer’s wedding photos a bit daunting? 😉
Great shots, particularly love the one on the hill and the bottom right dancing shot.
Thanks for your kind comments Ozzy, much appreciated.
The thought of photographing a photographers wedding is daunting but when you really sit down and think about it; you’re probably going to have picturesque venues, time would have been factored in for all the photographs and the couple will be prepared for having a photographer with them all day! So no, it’s not that daunting really 🙂 To top that, Liza and Jean-Luc have a fantastic eye for good photography so that helps too 🙂
Congratulations once again!
Amazing Photos, Looks like something you would find in a wedding Brochure.
Thanks for sending one over of my Croquembouche.
