Hayley & Chris – Dovecliff Hall Hotel Wedding

I started the day with Hayley at the Dovecliff Hall Hotel, which looked amazing with it’s Stately home appearance and the fields which had not yet been harvested, I knew we’d have to venture down later for pictures!

Leaving the girls to make their way to the church in Fenny Drayton, I caught up with Chris & his Groomsmen, the little ones definitely setting the standard for looking good! After the ceremony had taken place and confetti was thrown we all headed back to Dovecliff where I got chance to steal Hayley & Chris away long enough to explore the grounds and get some beautiful photographs in those fields.

Special mention has to go to the Table decorations, hand made by Chris and they were superb! Hayley & Chris are both teachers and each table had a theme of a different subject, and a card detailing it and the table bouquets were decorated accordingly! Very nice touch.

Congratulations Hayley & Chris, I’m so glad I captured your wedding for you, I wish you all the best for the future, and keeping in mind you’re both teachers, I hope this work deserves an ‘A’ !!

Sian & Andy – Moor Hall Birmingham Wedding

Congratulations to Sian & Andy. I loved being a part of your day and getting to know you both. Sian reminded everyone why they were there with love themed hand made decorations. The lanterns looked amazing in the sky when they were released at dusk, and your first dance was beautiful to watch!

Congratulations again and I wish you both the best, enjoy the pictures!

Emma & Sean – St Mary’s Guild Hall Wedding Coventry

Emma and Sean were Married at St Mary’s Guild Hall in Coventry, which gave us the stunning Cathedral grounds to use for photographs before they were both whisked away in a high spec Jaguar to Ansty Golf course for the evening reception. The light was just perfect so out we went to do some more portraits in the last of the sun. Which led us to their lovely choreographed first dance before Sean revealed a surprise of their dog arriving at the party!

Congratulations to you both, what a fantastic day and I’m proud to have been a part of it.
