I'm very excited to showcase the wedding of my sister and her new husband!
Kristen & Matthew were married at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire in an all together beautiful, british affair! To play a part in photographing your sisters wedding is something very special!
On the morning of the wedding I focused on the guys getting ready and got some fantastic shots of the groom and best man rehearsing their speeches and the group showing off their matching navy ties and red socks. They even managed to squeeze in a quick game of croquet!!
Being family, it allowed me to pick up my camera whenever a great shot arose and I was able to capture many great moments. The details which both Kristen & Matthew took time creating, came together beautifully though-out the day culminating in a breathtaking firework display illuminating the castle in all its glory.
Even though it's a bit sad that my sister is no longer a 'Tonge', we know that we have gained a great brother!
It's always a pleasure to be asked to exhibit at one of our favourite wedding fayres - The Hundred House Hotel in Norton, Nr Ironbridge. They are a very hard working, dedicated team led by the fantastic head chef Stuart, who strive to give their clients a memorable wedding day!
I decided to take my camera with me and attempt to give couples an insight into what they can expect from a wedding fayre at The Hundred House and it wasn't long before a few of our fellow exhibitors asked if I could take a few photos for their respective portfolios. What started off as a regular wedding fayre turned into several mini shoots, in between talking with potential clients of course! So as well as showcasing Hundred House we would like to promote a few other companies including a brilliant acoustic band called Synergy, Worfield Classic Cars and a fabulous Barnardos owned dress company called Brides By Appointment.... Enjoy!
I'm proud to unveil Nicola & Simon's wedding photos. They were a very genuine and relaxed couple who planned an intimate wedding with only their closest family and friends in attendance. It was a wonderful wedding to finish our busy summer period with!
Memorable highlights were their black and white theme, a beautiful cake made by the groom (he's a patisserie chef!) and nearly getting run over trying to get that perfect shot (try and spot Simon's alarmed face immediately after!). Nicola's 'insect' shoes definitely deserve a special mention. They benefited immensely from their pre-wedding shoot a few months earlier and felt relaxed enough in front of the camera to even start coming up with their own ideas for photographs on their wedding day!!
As always a special thank you to all the guys at 'The Hundred House'.
