Kate and Andy
Kate and Andy’s Wedding at the Rickety Barn, Bassmead Manor
September the 17th last year was the wonderful wedding of Kate and Andy in Cambridge.
This was an all day event for me, starting at the home of Kates parents and then moving onto The Registry office in Ely (The Old School House in Market Street).
When Kate and Andy booked me it was due to a referral from the wedding photographer Chris Geary who was already booked on that day (thanks Chris).
.
Another thing, when they booked me Kate wasn’t pregnant so I received the good news a few months prior to the wedding.
Because of this Kate wore flat shoes and she said they might not be worth using for photos as they were a bit boring,…. sure thing…..
.... not so boring now.
The weather on the day was really changeable, that sunny but ‘could really chuck it down any time’ sort of weather!
And it did, boy did it really throw it down! It had the best timing though. It rained heavily at the registry office and stopped during the service, the sun came out and lasted until an hour or so after arriving at the Rickety Barn in Bassmead.

Due to the weather we had a double and triple rainbow appear. (ref: Double Rainbow Dude)
After the fun and games in the grounds we went in to the reception itself. The Rickety Barn doesn’t look very big but it is. The actual Barn itself is used for drinks and dancing but sewn onto the back of it is a massive marquee.

I’m not exaggerating, it’s an awesome venue. Everywhere you go there’s a nice spot to either have privacy or be part of the group. It’s big enough to fit everyone in and small enough to feel cosy. It’s also in the middly of nowhere, I couldn’t hear any cars, just wildlife and as far as the eye can see….. fields, sky and trees.
I’d get married here. 
Kate has since given birth to a beautiful baby girl named Orla Sky, ace.

I liked a lot of the nice touches at Kate and Andy's wedding
The bar was an open one so everyone had the option of name tags for their glasses. Cool idea.
Note to grooms... if your best man gives you the above look, you're in trouble.

'...and then I said to him, give me back my toy car or I'll use the other hand to...'

I didn't know what this was but I want one.
I never realised the the Cambridge area was so flat. (I'm not used to it down here)
The Ricketty Barn Bassmead, a wonky image of a wonky barn!
This is the coolest way to deal with couples who have a two foot height difference.
