Fiona & Jared’s Ely Cathedral Wedding
If you're dreaming of an Ely Cathedral wedding followed by a relaxed riverside reception at The Old Bridge Hotel, you're in the right place. Fiona & Jared's day was the perfect blend of tradition, elegance, and big laughs (with a surprise four-legged guest!). Set across two iconic Cambridgeshire wedding venues, this celebration had everything: ancient architecture, riverside romance, and even a champagne spray to finish things off with a bang.
Morning Moments & Big Dress Reactions
We started the day with Fiona and her bridesmaids at home, capturing all the calm before the cathedral. From those sentimental jewellery moments to emotional reactions from loved ones, the tone was already perfect.
Suited & Booted Outside Ely Cathedral
Jared and his groomsmen brought big laughs to the front of Ely Cathedral, strolling up in style. The iconic backdrop made for an incredible start to their part of the day.
The Final Moments Before 'I Do'
Fiona arrived in style, joined by her bridesmaids for some quick portraits before stepping inside. Ely’s grand architecture gave these final moments a cinematic feel.
One of Cambridgeshire’s Most Iconic Wedding Venues
The walk down the aisle at Ely Cathedral is truly breathtaking. With two of us shooting, we captured both Fiona’s entrance and Jared’s reaction at the altar.
The ceremony was everything you'd imagine in such a grand setting—intimate, meaningful, and visually stunning.
Portraits & Laughs at the Altar
Before the confetti chaos, we brought Fiona, Jared and the wedding party back inside for a few more intimate and playful portraits. The light, the laughter, and the setting made for something really special.
That Entrance, That Architecture
The confetti moment is always fun, but this time we snuck in a striking black-and-white portrait showcasing the grand entrance of the cathedral—timed perfectly with the celebrations.
A Warm Welcome and Lovely Little Touches
The vibe changed beautifully once we arrived at The Old Bridge Hotel in Huntingdon. Guests mingled in the sunshine, sipping cocktails and having personalised illustrations drawn - a brilliant idea!
The Old Bridge
We took a stroll down by the river and captured some of our favourite shots of the day. The location was postcard-perfect with the Old Bridge and a passing boat adding to the magic.
Not Your Average Formal Photos
We always aim to make group shots feel like part of the fun, not a formality. These ones? Packed with personality.
Outdoor Fun at The Old Bridge Hotel
From emotional speeches to impromptu lasso moves, the outdoor reception space at The Old Bridge Hotel was buzzing as the evening party began!
Bridal Party Goals + Dog Cameo!
We ended the day at Castle Hill with iconic views, fun portraits, and a surprise visit from Kora, Fiona & Jared’s enthusiastic pup.
Ending With a Pop
We wrapped up Fiona & Jared’s day with a champagne spray moment - chaotic, hilarious, and full of energy. Highly recommended.
