Steve and Amy – Birmingham Wedding Photography


On Saturday 17th September we were delighted to be photographing the lovely Steve and Amys wedding. We had met previously at their engagement shoot so we knew we were in for a fun filled, joyous occasion.

We met at Amys parents house on the morning and were made to feel extremely welcome by her parents, it was very hard to turn down the offer of bacon and pancakes…which smelt AMAZING!

Before Amy got into her gown we grabbed some shots of it elegantly hanging on the staircase. The dress had so much detail we had to get a close up.

Steve had sent an amazing gift for Amy to open – a canvas of their wedding invitation which she was thrilled with. What a wonderful idea, plus Steve has no excuse now to forget their anniversary :)

The ceremony was at Wylde Green United Reformed Church. So many people had come to watch the service, and celebrate Steve and Amys big day.

I love these next two photos – one of the bridesmaids having a sneaky peek at the guests before their big entrance, while the groom waits nervously at the alter.

The ceremony was beautiful, filled with personal, heart-felt prayers and wonderful music, thanks to the band Urban Devotion.

Before heading to the Link for the wedding breakfast, we stopped off at Sutton Park for a few photos. The park is a very special place for the couple, as its where Steve proposed.

The first dance was very romantic, and we really wanted to reflect that in the photos.

In the evening, we had a photo booth set up. Amy and Steve had bought lots of props: glasses, wigs, fairy wings, tiaras, feather bowers, just to name a few, and guests were cueing up to get in and dress up. You all looked beautiful :)

There were sooo many lovely photos we didn’t have the space to write about them all so have added a couple more to the gallery below.

Congratulations Steve and Amy, we wish you a lifetime of happiness together.

John and Katie – Manchester Wedding Photography

We were back in Manchester not so long ago to photograph John and Katie’s wedding. Not to be confused with Kate and Johnny’s wedding thats coming up shortly!

The ceremony was at the Midland Hotel, such a fantastic venue and has accommodated the likes of George Best, Pavarotti, The Beatles, Madonna, and a personal favourite Mike Tyson, (before the crazies kicked in). Was great to be back in Manchester city centre, great place.

We only covered the wedding for a few hours, however everyone looked like they were having a great time, and John and Katie were no exception to this. Lovely couple and hope to see again soon.

All the best John and Katie.

Amy and Andrew – Keele Hall Wedding Photography

We were back at Keele Hall to photograph the wedding of Amy and Andrew. Such a nice venue, and real hidden gem within the Keele University campus.

The ceremony was at St Johns Church in Keele Village. What a fantastic church, very impressive. After the ceremony the couple release two doves. It was quite a photo challenge but just about managed to get some.

We headed to Keele Hall. Amy and Andrew met while at Keele University so was fitting to have the reception there.

Congratulations to both you you, such a great couple, I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Speak soon.

Baby Phoebe

A few weeks ago we were back in Nottingham, but not to take photos of little Locksley, this time to photography his new cousin, Phoebe.

She took a while to get used to us, but was a perfect model in no time. We had a great day, Phoebe’s very lucky, as she has fantastic family all around her, and I’m sure we’ll be back to take some more photos in the future.

Image of the Month – August

This is one of many favourites from Aug/Sept. I like this shot as it captures a real moment.

I could tell Tony and Jules enjoyed every minute of the wedding, and this shot just captures one instance. You can just about see their guests looking at them, as they are having their first dance.

Tony & Jules Wedding, Hampton Manor

We recently had the great pleasure of shooting the wedding of the fabulous Jules and Tony Way. We first met the couple over a year ago and hit it off instantly. Since then we’ve shot a Rat Pack styled photo shoot for the swing themed invites.

The venue was Hamton Manor, in Hampton-in-Arden, and the weather was fantastic all day. Both Tony and Jules looked great, Jules in a one off dress, and Tony looking very swarve in deed.

They are a great couple, very welcoming with lovely kids, helpful too.. giving us photography direction during the couples portrait shots.
