I know we always go on about having the coolest clients, but seriously… We have the COOLEST clients!
Emma & Neil get married later this month in sunny (we hope) Birmingham and if we have half as much fun at the wedding as we did on their engagement shoot, it’s gonna be a great wedding.
Here’s a few faves from their shoot a few weeks ago…
Those of you that follow me on Twitter or Facebook might remember my mad weekend a couple of weeks ago where I travelled 300+ miles and did 3 engagement shoots in one day before shooting an Essex wedding the next day!
I’m breathless just thinking about it!
The first day started blissfully enough though when I met up (for the first time in fact) with Michelle & Lawrence for their shoot in Bury St Edmunds. The weather was glorious, as you can see, and Michelle had packed a picnic for later in the shoot.
We started in this amazing field with a huge tree right in the centre…
Their wedding isn’t until December but I already know it’ll be one of our fave weddings of 2010.
Just don’t mention the keys to the Mercedes! 
Somewhere along the line, Alexa & Andy looked at the “rules” of how a wedding should be and promptly tore them up and laughed!
We LOVE couples who inject personality, creativeness and uniqueness into their weddings. We also LOVE couples who make their wedding as much fun as possible. Alexa & Andy’s wedding, quite simply, rocked!
Good advice me thinks.
Alexa made the bouquets and the buttonholes. Amazing!
And then there was the dress from our neighbours at The Custard Factory, The Couture Company
Alexa wore these during the day…
..and later on switched to these!
Cute alert!
They were married at Birmingham Register Office
And then headed to Tanworth-In-Arden where they held the reception at The Bell
Told ya!
And then they only went and booked our favourite wedding band… the superb Cartoon Kings
If you’re planning a wedding this cool and this much fun, we want to be your photographers!!! Please!!!
Thanks to Alexa & Andy for having us along for the ride and big thanks to the amazing Bianca Barrett for second-shooting with me 
You may remember Jemma & Andy’s engagement shoot. It’s one of our faves. We even used it for a sample book for our studio.
Their wedding was even more fun thanks to a great group of guests, an epic Fun Booth (on the blog soon) and, most importantly, Jem & Andy giving us the freedom to do what we do best.
Many thanks to the legendary Emma Case who helped on all levels, including amazing swirls and hearts on the light shot above
Top tunage!
One of their engagement photos made the slideshow
A few sneak peeks from the Fun Booth…
Congrats to Jemma & Andy and thanks for having us be part of such a fun wedding. More Fun Booth pics on the blog soon..
This past Easter weekend saw us busier than ever with viewings, appointments, band shoots, live gigs and 2 weddings!
One of those weddings happened on Saturday with Alexa & Andy. It was a fantastic wedding which I’m looking forward to blogging in a couple of weeks. Just wait til you see Alexa’s dress!
In the mean time, here are a few photos from Alexa & Andy’s engagement session. We met in Selly Oak, close to Birmingham University, and they asked if they could bring their cute puppy along for the first half of the shoot.
Outside The Soak pub where Alexa & Andy first met
Alexa & Andy are currently living it up on honeymoon in South Africa. I’m looking forward to seeing them when they get home and going through their wedding images with them. On the blog soon….
I’ve been a slack blogger in the past week or so… Must do better!
Sarah & Louis’ wedding was our first at the beautiful Caverswall Castle. Amazing venue and a super-cool couple. You may have seen the card we got a couple of weeks ago
I struggled to narrow these down for the blog but here are some of my faves from the wedding…
Ok… this is Mango, an acoustic duo who play everything from really mellow tunes right through to Killers and Nirvana covers. They are AMAZING! We highly recommend them if you’re looking for entertainment for you wedding.
Yes!
The sign of a great wedding is when the photographers end the day on the bed with the couple!
Thanks again to Anna for second-shooting on the day and massive thanks to Sarah & Louis for having us along to be a part of their day. T’was much fun
Long-time readers of this blog may vaguely remember a great wedding we shot at the Buttermarket in Newark. The couple were Emma & Pete so it was great when Emma’s sister, Ruth, booked us to shoot her & David’s wedding in Leeds.
Emma & Pete have since started a family so it was amazing to see their gorgeous little boy as well as catching up with Emma & Ruth’s parents.
The ceremony was held at the impressive Temple Newsam House before heading to the Thorpe Park Hotel for the reception.
I was ably assisted by Mr Chris Barber. Here are a few images we came back with…
Ruth looked amazing with a little vintage twist.
Emma waits for her sister to arrive at Temple Newsam…
Thanks to Ruth & David for having us there to photograph their day. Thanks to Emma & Pete for putting us in touch with them. Thanks to Chris for helping on the day. And thanks to whoever took this photo of the four of us at the end of the night
We’ve had lots of great feedback after posting Lauren & Ashley’s wedding.
But people have been waiting for the Fun Booth pictures and here they are. I apologise in advance for the last one!
Parental love…
Remember Joy & Richard’s white wedding?
One of our fave couples ever and they didn’t let us down with the Fun Booth either.
Enjoy!
Ok, let’s get it out of the way…. Shelley & Daniel are fab!
One of our fave wedding venues. Check.
Bring the dog to the wedding. Check.
Family & friends up for a laugh and making us feel totally welcome. Check.
Totally cool, easy-going, friendly couple. Check!
Bride’s dad singing The Backstreet Boys… see below…
They got married at a church in Hammerwich and we were told “NO PHOTOGRAPHS DURING THE SERVICE” by the vicar. Grrrrrr!!
We like to break the rules (with the help of long lenses)
Great cake. Check.
An entourage of groomsmen. Check.
Ian Stuart dress. Check.
Shelley’s dad gave a great speech..
…and scored pretty well!
The evening reception was great fun. The band were rockin’ and both the bride and groom got on the mic..
But the crowning glory came when, at 11pm, the bride’s Dad insisted the DJ play “Backstreet’s Back” by the Backstreet Boys, to which he knew every word and even a few choice dance moves!
“Everybody…. yeah yeah”
We even convinced them to brave freezing temperatures so that we could get this one…
As you can tell, this was the kind of wedding we love being involved with. Just great fun
We’ll be posting their Fun Booth photos here soon too so watch this space….
Thanks to the lovely Anna for helping me out on the day again and thanks and big congrats to Shelley & Daniel for having us along to such a great day.
