There was a calm autumn feel to Katie and Charlie’s September celebration, with the day moving between family homes, church, and the grounds of Mulberry House. Mulberry House gave the reception a settled country-house backdrop after the ceremony in Romford, and the film had plenty of small changes of scene to carry the story along.
Morning
Katie got ready at Mulberry House before leaving for the ceremony around midday. Charlie’s morning began in Romford, which gave the film two distinct starting points before everyone came together at the church.
Ceremony
The ceremony took place at St Edward the Confessor Catholic Church in Romford at 1pm. Katie arrived for the start of the service, and the church setting gave this part of the film a clear sense of occasion without needing anything overdone.
Speeches and Wedding Breakfast
After the ceremony, everyone returned to Mulberry House for the reception and wedding breakfast. The speeches were held between the main course and dessert, with Katie’s father, Charlie, and the best man each taking their turn.
Evening
The evening centred on the cake cutting at 8:30pm, followed shortly after by Katie and Charlie’s first dance at 8:45pm. It gave the final part of the film a clear shape, moving from the formal moments of the reception into the dancing and evening celebration.
