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!
Shelley & Daniel – Married at Packington Moor Farm

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.
Lauren & Ashley – A Wedding At Hogarths
Remember Lauren & Ashley’s engagement session? I knew then that their wedding was gonna be a great day and I was quite right. On top of that they chose Hogarths in Solihull as their venue and, as you can see above, brought sparklers for us to use for one of their portrait shots. They also had their own fun booth and we’ll have those pictures on the blog soon. They rock!
Here are some of my fave images from their wedding..
Who’d have thought that a wool theme could work so well?!
Watch out photographers! The next generation are coming…
I was assisted on the day again by the lovely Anna. Here’s one of her shots…
Biggest gifts ever!
Big congrats to Lauren & Ashley. We loved being a part of their day and look forward to putting together an amazing album for them. And thanks for the sparklers
Liz & Jon – Engagement Shoot
Liz and Jon get married this April at Moor Hall.
Moor Hall is a great venue not far from where we live but we’ve never shot a wedding there so I’m looking forward to finally getting over there.
For their engagement session, Liz & Jon came to our studio and we went for a stroll around the lovely streets of Digbeth. It was great fun getting to know them a little better and capturing some pretty cool images along the way…
Joy & Richard – A Real White Wedding
Occasionally we get clients who remind us why we love out job so much. Joy & Richard are definitely one of those couples!
We did their engagement session in the snow and their wedding day, also Joy’s birthday, was just as white, just as cold and just as much fun.
I was helped out again by the lovely Miss Emma Case who got these great shots of the boys…
Meanwhile, I was back at Malmaison keeping the girls company…
The service took places at St Paul’s in central Birmingham
Married!
Then it was on to Moxhull Hall…
Time for some speeches
FAVOURITE. SPEECHES. PHOTO. EVER!
Tune in again to see the amazing Fun Booth pictures
Congrats to Joy & Richard. Superstar couple!
This wasn’t just a fantastic wedding. I think we may have bagged ourselves a couple of good mates in the process. I love my job!
Hannah & Ali – Married at The Daffodil, Cheltenham
Many of you will remember Hannah & Ali’s engagement session at their home. It also made it onto the amazingly cool Rock N Roll Bride website.
Their wedding took place just before Christmas at The Daffodil in Cheltenham, a fantastic converted 1920’s Art Deco picture house. The vintage theme continued throughout the wedding and I have to say I wish more couples would go down this route. I think it’s so cool and stylish.
Hannah and Ali both looked amazing, but their guests also made a huge effort and win the award for best dressed guests ever!
Here are a few pictures from the day. I was ably assisted by Mr Tim Herbert on the day. Thanks Tim.
We loved these Order Of Service cards which told the story of Hannah & Ali’s relationship so far.
Coolest. Bridesmaids. Ever. With the ladies’ favourite, Mr Hudson aka Ben.
Roger Moore eat ya heart out!
Some great speeches..
Ali is a talented musician. His band, Envy & Other Sins won Channel 4’s “Mobile Act Unsigned” but he’s now doing his own thing.
He serenaded Hannah and had everyone’s undivided attention.
Who needs Strictly Come Dancing when you have Hannah & Ali!?
The Upbeat Beatles played a blinding set that had the dancefloor rockin for the entire night. Highly recommended covers band.
Definitely one of my fave weddings yet!
Hannah & Ali make a great couple and we had a blast sharing their day with them. Their album is going to be something special
