Clare college wedding

The Clare College wedding of American bride Riana and English groom Rob was a celebration deeply rooted in their shared love for Cambridge. As a photographer who has captured many Clare College weddings, I was excited to document their special day in this iconic venue, where their journey together intertwined with their educational past and Rob’s romantic proposal on Clare Bridge.

Wedding Day Atmosphere: Their Clare College wedding, held on September 16, was marked by a dramatic close sky and brief rains, adding a sense of elegance to the warm golden light of late summer. The day began with behind-the-scenes moments, capturing the bride and her attendants filled with laughter and happiness, while the groom and his groomsmen shared their joy in the historic crypts beneath the chapel.

Ceremony in the College Chapel: The wedding ceremony, a privilege reserved for Clare College members and alumni, was held in the College Chapel. The stunning elegance and ornate decor of the chapel provided a moving backdrop for capturing the expressions and reactions during the Clare College wedding ceremony.

Photography in Scholars’ Garden: Post-ceremony, the silvery sky beautifully contrasted with the lush emerald foliage and damp cobblestones in the riverbank Scholars’ Garden, where we captured stunning and unforgettable photographs of the Clare College wedding.

Reception in the Great Hall: The reception was held in the magnificent Great Hall of Clare College, a 17th-century marvel echoing historical splendor. This part of the Clare College wedding was a jubilant celebration, marking the end of formalities and the beginning of festive cheer.

Intimate Celebrations in the Bar and Cellars: As the night progressed, the intimate setting of the Bar and Cellars beneath the College Chapel, with its sensual stone arches and soft lighting, offered a perfect environment for continued celebrations of this memorable Clare College wedding.

Documenting Riana and Rob’s Clare College wedding was a profoundly moving experience. Their day was filled with affection, laughter, and shared joy.
