Based in Solihull, West Midlands, Rob and Sarah Gillespie offer wedding photography services to the West Midlands and all surrounding counties.
Our very last wedding of 2011 saw us return to the venue where we got married ourselves back in October – the fabulous Avoncroft Museum near Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. This was the wedding of Karen and Tim and was what we call a ‘referral’, meaning it was booked on the recommendation of a past client. We…
Back at the end of October, I was asked to photograph a Christening for two of our past clients, Nicola and Darren. They got married in June 2010 at Wroxall Abbey Estate (click here to see our blog post) and had chosen the same venue for the Christening of baby Holly and also for Evie,…

Our last-but-one wedding of 2011 saw us at a local venue we’d been wanting to work at for ages – Hampton Manor. This lovely 19th century manor house with contemporary interior makes for a great wedding venue and it’s one we look forward to returning to. Sarah and Paul booked us earlier this year. The…

Beautiful! The shot angled to the church spire is amazing!
Inspirational! Each photo has encapsulated a precious moment in time. Ambience, mood and emotion all caught beautifully by the camera. Marie.
We’ve commented before that we only ever seem to get to work at Highbury Hall towards the end of the year. True to form, we returned there on a grey day in November for the wedding of Laura and Tim. This was a slightly shorter than usual coverage day for us, but we were still…

What fab photos. I love the interesting angles and the long exposures with the dancing. Such great details too – the message tree is a great idea and love the owls and the stripy socks too!
At the end of October, we made a long-overdue return to the Billesley Manor Hotel in Warwickshire for the wedding of Yvonne and Sam. It’s been a couple of years since working at this popular venue and we’d been looking forward to it ever since the couple booked us at the start of 2011. After…

We go back in time a little now to a small wedding I covered on my own in August. April and Rhys had already got married abroad, but held a blessing ceremony and celebrations at the fabulous Ettington Park Hotel, in rural Warwickshire. This was a very small, intimate event, with just a handful of…

This was our first time at a new venue – new to us, that is. Kelmarsh Hall in rural Northamptonshire, has a great reputation for hosting weddings. The 18th century mansion looks gorgeous outside and inside, the fabulous rooms have tons of light- fabulous for weddings. Clare and Adrian booked us in May last year…

Hi Rob and Sarah,
Thank you so much for being part of our wonderful day.
The whole day was so unforgettable, as your photos clearly show.
Friends and family traveled from all over the globe, just to be with us, which was so overwelming.
Kelmarsh and the staff, the catering and florist all helped to make the perfect wedding.
Best wishes.
Mr & Mrs Read
The day was wonderful. Friends and family had travelled great distances to be with us; the staff at Kelmarsh, Portfolio’s staff, the florist and our lovely driver all helped to make it perfect. Thank you so much for photographs that caught all that – they really are the icing on the cake.

Amazing photographs! Such a beautiful day and such a lovely couple! The images really capture all the little details that made your wedding so special.
Whether this really was the hottest day of the day I’m not sure, but it did feel like it as we photographed the wedding of Eve and Alan! Just a week before our own wedding, this early October day was bright, sunny and hot. They’d chosen Nuthurst Grange to host their wedding – a venue…
