From our initial call to discuss their wedding at Clearwell Castle, I knew that Clara and Toby's day was going to be a special one. Lovers of film (both movies and the photographic medium), they explained how their hand picked ensemble cast of only their very closest friends and family made for an intimate ceremony and celebration with the people who matter to them the most. And what a celebration it was! The Great British weather was not on our side the entire day, however spirits weren't dampened and everything went off perfectly. They shunned some traditions to do things their own way, having a first look before the ceremony where the (happy) tears couldn't be held back and then walking each other down the aisle to be married in a beautiful ceremony flanked by the afore mentioned guests.
We found breaks in the weather to head outdoors for some portraits which we kept loose and fun before heading back inside for cake and dancing as well as a dress change for Clara as the party continued.
