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 photographed the wedding of Peter (Karen’s brother) and Vicky back in 2009 (click here to see blog post).
Starting the day over in Kenilworth, I dropped Sarah off with Tim and his groomsmen and then made my way over to meet up with Karen and her bridesmaids before moving onto Avoncroft itself.
This was a cold but very bright winter day – so bright in fact that the couple opted to have the curtains drawn in Avoncroft’s main Guesten Hall to avoid everyone having to squint during the service!
As with all winter weddings, we’re a bit more mindful of time than during the summer. It’s important we get the couple out for the photos of them alone as we won’t have a chance later on due to the light disappearing so early. Of course at Avoncroft this is no easy task as it’s such a large site and with so many varied and interesting photo opportunities to take advantage of. Karen and Tim had pushed back the time of their food so we could make the most of the afternoon sunlight and we were rewarded with a lovely winter sunset behind the iconic Avoncroft windmill.
A big thank-you to Karen and Tim for keeping us fed during the day – hope you like the pictures!
