Bridal Fayre | Somerford Hall | January 29th 10am to 4.00pm

   Bridal Photo shoot {Sandon Hall}

I wanted to share some images from a recent bridal fashion shoot at Sandon Hall in Staffordshire. This was test for a project I will doing later on in the year, so I needed to sort out my timings and locations.

The old dining room was my prefered choice to start with its impressive chandelier and long oak table, I love photographing bridal portraits in this room as the light is stunning.

Over the years I have shot numerous weddings at Sandon Hall and find it a  photographers dream for locations.

   A date for your diary

The Spring Bridal Fayre will be on Sunday 11th march 10.30am-4.00pm with free parking and free entry

The long Oak table in the old dinning room.

This morning we headed off into Stafford Town Park to Photograph Rio & Andrew.It was a lovely frosty morning, a little on the cold side but non the less great for the pre wedding shoot. I prefer to do the pre shoots outdoors rather than in my studio as this is (weather permitting ) where we will be spending most of our time for the wedding photographs, however we do have the option to use the Studio should the weather for the pre shoot be against us.

The pre shoot itself is very relaxed and around half an hour, these are normally shot on a weekday and in Stafford.

Rio & Andrew will be getting married this year at Somerford Hall in Brewood one of my favourite venues, The venue has some fabulous opportunities both indoors and out for some great photographs.

Here’s one from this morning…….

The Old School House | Weeford | Donna and Daniel Wedding

As promised here are a few images from Donna and Daniel’s Wedding.

Donna and Daniel chose to hold their Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Reception at The Old School Housewhich is in a quiet village of Weeford, near Lichfield, Staffordshire. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside yet minutes away from the local motorway network.

It was a lovely sunny day…We started the day photographing the bridal preps and details such as shoes, flowers, perfume and jewelry, then we went onto the The Old School House to photograph the Groom, best man and guests arriving.

The service was held in the Marque at the Old School House, and from here we headed outside into the grounds for photographs and of course a much needed drink for everyone.

After the Wedding Breakfast Donna and Daniel had arranged for a Hypnotist to entertain their guests. They chose Ian Dee, who is based in the UK. He had the guests laughing hysterically.

Here are a few shots from the day……

a few of Donna’s details..

Final adjustments..

This little chap came into the studio just before Christmas with his mummy and daddy for his first Watch me grow Photo shoot.  Now on his second WMG  photo shoot and he has changed so much already…….He’s a very smiley little fella but on this occasion was saving his smiles for everytime I put the camera down.

You have to work hard to get a baby to smile that’s why it is so rewarding when they do.

I have been so busy this year that I have found it difficult to keep up to date with my blog. So let me start with a pre wedding shoot from earlier in the year, these are a few images from Donna and Daniels portrait shoot.

The couple are now married so I will post a few shots from their wedding soon.

We spend around 30-40 minutes on pre wedding portraits and keep things nice and simple, the idea is for the couple to get used to being photographed and help them with posing so on the big day they feel more at ease with the camera.

Pre wedding portraits are done on a weekday in the Stafford area.

Here are a few images from their portrait session……
