Kevin and David are an absolutely charming couple and their civil partnership is the first I’ve covered. This presented me with a chance to go about things differently so it was a really fun challenge. Usually I’ll kick off a wedding day’s coverage with the hubbub of the bridal preparations but obviously this wasn’t going to be a factor on this occasion. Kevin and David wanted a fairly low-key wind-up to the day, away from their descending guests, alone in their suite to get ready in peace. I was given a few moments before proceedings began to capture some last minute intimate portraits before heading down to take my place amongst the guests ready for the ceremony. A few, simple but emotional declarations and three wonderful readings by friends later and it was on to the celebrations. The flowers by Foxtaillily and decor, food and drink were all fantastic, unsurprisingly given Satis House reputation, with musical entertainment provided by Music and Events. With everything just right it wasn’t hard to see why everybody was having a good time! David has been performing on stage in the West End in the Lion King for the last 10 years and several of the cast were guests. Despite my initial predictions nobody had started a “Circle of Life” medley before I left. I’m sure that later in the evening it was a different story!
