Victoria & George: Pre-Wedding Reception

A couple of days before the wedding, a drinks reception was held on the banks of Stourton Water in Cawston. I was greeted with the most wonderful summer evening views over the water, while guests enjoyed drinks, canapés, and Jonny Kerry’s French musette accordion music.
Later on, there was entertainment from the waiting staff, who turned out to be surprise singers. Just a glimpse of what was to come at the weekend
