Georgia and Michael’s wedding wasn’t just a single-day event; it was an unforgettable multi-day celebration that perfectly captured their energy, love, and the joy of being surrounded by friends and family. Held at the stunning Cripps Barn in the Cotswolds, the wedding was a blend of elegance, fun, and personal touches that made it truly unique.
The Wedding Preparations - Bridesmaids & Groomsmen Galore!
The festivities kicked off at Cats Abbey, a sprawling estate in the Cotswold, where the bridal party and their partners gathered for a few days leading up to the big event. The house was buzzing with excitement and anticipation. Georgia and her bridesmaids took over one wing, transforming it into a hive of activity with hair and makeup stations. The atmosphere was electric, filled with laughter, music, and a contagious energy that set the tone for the days to come.
Meanwhile, Michael and his groomsmen took a more laid-back approach in the other wing. They spent the morning watching the Olympics on a projector, and later had a blast during the photo and video shoots. A highlight from this prep time was Michael’s hilarious struggle to get his hands into his sleeves, causing fits of giggles from James, the videographer, and Johnny, the photographer. The two youngest members of the groom’s party, Alfie and Arthur, nearly stole the show in their adorable tuxedos and "ring security" boxes, proving to be the most charming ring bearers.

When the time arrived, Georgia and Michael, along with their bridal party, arrived at Cripps Barn in style. The grooms party rolled up in a stretched limo with the bride follwing along later in classic VW camper, setting the stage for the beautiful outdoor ceremony.
Guests were led down an archway tunnel of greenery, emerging into a sunlit clearing surrounded by towering pine trees. There, Michael stood, surrounded by his groomsmen and bridesmaids, waiting for his bride. Georgia, a professional netball player, looked nothing short of stunning in a fitted bridal gown adorned with just the right amount of sparkle. Her luscious blonde hair was styled in glamorous Hollywood waves, and her short veil was gracefully placed over her face by her proud father as she reached Michael at the end of the aisle. It was truely magical to capture.
The couple exchanged vows that were both witty and deeply emotional, filled with personal promises and heartfelt words that resonated with everyone present. The ceremony took an unexpected and joyful turn when a saxophonist surprised the guests with a sing-along rendition of "I Love You Baby," getting everyone on their feet and dancing, setting a joyful tone for the rest of the day.
