Alexa & Andy – A Rockin’ Wedding

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

Kirsty & Neal – Engagement Session at WBA

It’s not long since we were at the West Bromwich Albion ground for Elesha & Daniel’s engagement shoot. This time, however, rather than being moved on by security, we had full access to the ground.
Kirsty & Neal get married at The Mount Hotel in Wolverhampton at the end of May and, as Neal is a huge fan, Kirsty arranged for us to do their engagement shoot in the WBA ground…











For a little contrast, we also grabbed a few shots away from the ground…









Looking forward to the wedding… Photos here soon…
Jemma & Andy – A Wedding at The Old Rectory Hotel, Wem

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..
Sarah & Louis – A Wedding at Caverswall Castle

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
The Black Country Living Museum with the Family

This week, on my day off, the spring weather seemed to arrive and we decided to take the kids out to the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley.
It’s only 15 minutes from where we live but we’d never been before. It’s a great place too. Loads to do and see. And amazing fish & chips!
We’ll be back…





















Elliott wasn’t quite tall enough…

..so I HAD to go on too










Old skool!



LOVE these 3 images. Elliott’s getting so expressive






LOVE this pic of Evelyne


That lollipop made quite a mess eh?!

Shelley & Daniel’s Fun Booth

Shelley & Daniel’s wedding at Packington Moor Farm was crazy fun.
Their Fun Booth didn’t let us down either. Shelley set the bar early on…






















Ruth & David – A Wedding at Temple Newsam, Leeds

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

Lamb Of God @ Birmingham Academy

It seems the bands I’ve been shooting recently all fall into the heavier end of the musical spectrum.
This gig was no different.
The mighty Lamb Of God were ably supported by fellow Americans Job For A Cowboy, August Burns Red and Between The Buried & Me. I was shooting the gig for Rock Sound magazine. Here’s a few of my fave images…








The Fun Booth – Lauren & Ashley

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…



















Joy & Richard’s Fun Booth

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!
