Just spent a long but worthwhile day at the Belfry for a wedding fayre. We love meeting brides (and the grooms, but to be honest the majority of the guys look like rabbits in the headlamps…), and we had some really good conversations with plenty of lovely brides today from across the West Midlands, getting married at venues like Nuthurst Grange, Moxhull, Ettington Park, the new Midlands wedding venue Hampton Manor, and Rowton Castle. We have booked in a load of meetings, and will be dropping a load more couples a line in the coming days, and I am really looking forward to being at some of their weddings.
It is also a good chance to catch up with friends in the business, and to meet new suppliers, like Ben, the Cake Man, who had a massive crowd around his stunning cakes.
We had Joe with us for the day – at only 5 months old he is still a bit small to be away from Kat for such a long day, and he was so good. He did draw in the crowd, but having done that he then distracted attention from my albums to his cute smile, so I am not sure if he was the best marketing aid!

Louise & Peter – Hampton Manor Pre Wedding Photography
We met Louise and Peter at the Belfry Wedding Fayre earlier this year, and chatted about their wedding at the beautiful Hampton Manor later this year. A couple of weeks ago I met up with them in Sutton Park for their pre-wedding shoot.
There are several reasons why I always do Pre-wedding shoots, and one of them is just to get to know people better. It was a nice warm day, and it was great just wandering around taking photos of them, as well as just chatting and getting to know each other. After getting the shots, we found a nice spot to sit for a chat and an ice cream, to talk through the wedding day plans (sitting on a blanket in the park with talking to lovely people about their wedding – there are tougher ways of spending your afternoon…).
I am really looking forward to photographing their wedding, particularly at Hampton Manor, which is a great venue.
Some photographs from the afternoon…
