Beautiful wedding photography, based in Solihull, West Midlands
As we come to the last of our May weddings, we once again see a change in the weather. In contrast to last week’s scorching temperatures, last Saturday saw the rain return, this time for most of the day. Sarah and I did a ‘split’ morning to cover both the bride and groom’s morning preparations,…
It’s a common misconception that a bright, clear summer sky and warm weather are the ideal conditions for wedding photos. However with the sun high in the sky and no cloud to diffuse the light, it means we have our work cut out. This kind of weather – for us – means harsh shadows, huge…
Having previously only shot a wedding at Mallory Court in the winter, we were somewhat relieved when the ominous weather forecast for last Friday turned out to be false. Mallory’s fabulous grounds need a fine day to be appreciated (and photographed) properly and luckily, we had both the weather and the time to use the…

The church they’d chosen was St Mary the Virgin (sometimes known as Hanbury Church) which is in a fantastic location overlooking the surrounding countryside. Their reception was held at a local gastro-pub – The Queens Head Inn. Our day started with me…
Colin and Sara’s big day was held at two venues we’re quite familiar with. St Alphege, sitting at the end of Solihull’s high street, has been used for weddings by several generations of Sara’s family. The Ramada hotel – conveniently across the road – is a venue well-versed in holding wedding receptions. The only downside…
We’ve had a few album deliveries this week… Most of these are from the tail end of last summer and autumn. The Deluxe albums (left) all come pre-made so we can just hand them over. However the Premium albums (black boxes) need prints ordering and then assembling into the pages – a tricky and time-consuming…
