A Photographer's Vetted Directory
Cambridge Wedding Suppliers
The florists, caterers, planners, makeup artists, cake designers and bands I've worked with on Cambridge weddings — vetted from the photographer's vantage point.
A wedding photographer sees the entire chain of suppliers on every wedding day — what works, what falls behind, who delivers, who turns up to the brief. This directory collects the suppliers I've worked alongside on Cambridge weddings and would happily recommend to my own clients. It is not exhaustive and not paid placement — these are simply the names that come up repeatedly when I'm asked for a recommendation.
