Sean & Kara - Romantic Elopement in Cambridge

Love knows no bounds, and sometimes the best weddings are those celebrated in a more relaxed, intimate style.

 

The Gonville Hotel, a cosy spot in the heart of Cambridge, was the perfect venue for Sean and Kara to begin their elopement. With its elegant atmosphere and lovely views of Parker’s Piece, it set the ideal scene for their big day. Kara looked absolutely radiant, thanks to local makeup artist Kelly, and Natalie, a hairstylist from Huntingdon, gave her a beautiful boho-inspired look. Kara chose a simple yet stunning dress from ASOS, while Sean looked sharp in a classic grey suit. Before we set off to explore Cambridge, I took some photos of them on the hotel grounds alongside a vintage Bentley, which perfectly suited the vibe of the day.

 

No trip to Cambridge is complete without a punt along the River Cam, even when it’s raining. Fortunately, Scudamore Punting Company had everything covered, providing warm blankets to keep the couple—and me, their photographer—snug and dry. As we glided along the river, the raindrops added a special, cosy feel to the experience, making it all the more romantic.

When the rain eased, we wandered through the streets of Cambridge, discovering hidden gems and iconic landmarks, each perfect for capturing beautiful photos.

 

Finally, we returned to Gonville Hotel where the hotel staff were exceptional in ensuring everything was just right, creating an intimate and memorable experience for the newlyweds. Thank you to the Gonville Hotel team for helping make this moment so special for the newlyweds and for making my role as their photographer a joy. It was an unforgettable experience in every way.
