Marion & Tom- Winter wedding in Birmingham

Gemma — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:26:03 +0000

A Very lovely December Winter Wedding in Birmingham. I met Marion a couple of times in Brindley place to have a coffee and a very good natter about wedding plans, and pretty much our life stories as we got on very well indeed. It was like catching up with an old friend.

Marion and Tom had a beautiful Catholic wedding ceremony at the Church of St Thomas More in Shelodon, Birmingham. This was followed by the wedding breakfast at Piccolinos in Brindley place, Birmingham city centre (one of my favourite restaurants in Birmingham so an excellent choice!)

They really wanted to have a ‘City adventure’ for a wedding and thats exactly what they had. The whole wedding party in the evening walked through the crazy lights of the German Market in parade to the Banqueting suite in Victoria Square ready to hit the dance floor.

Marion loves a very 50′s vintage style as do I so I wanted to create this through my editing. What a gorgeous day it was!

Nadja &Simons Wedding -Sweet Briar Farm, Hampshire

Gemma — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 17:01:05 +0000

An August wedding in Hampshire and an absolutely gorgeous day. Nadja, Simon and close family and friends came down from Croydon, London. The boys were extremely excited about the 5 star golf course that was convieniently next door, I’m sure that wasn’t a coinsidence

The majority of there family joined them from all over the world making it an extremely special occasion.

It was indeed a colourful day, with wind mills, Lanterns and hearts on ribbons filling the trees and candles lighting the walk ways. Nadja had clearly worked her magic in making sure everything was perfect.

With Simon coming originally from Birmingham, UK and Nadja from Mauritius they wanted to honour their 2 very different backgrounds by having 2 ceremonies in one day. Yes this was a completely crazy idea but it absolutely worked! and yes Nadja got to wear 2 different outfits, AMAZING!…

Little Jacob who’s GORGEOUS I think you’ll agree. Photographed in the studio completely happy and content for well over an hour. Liz and Dave where just about to leave for a holiday in Devon and i’m sure it was a quiet drive as this little tiger was very sleepy in the end. Well its hard work being a model!

A HUGE congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Henderson!A brilliant day had by all I should imagine!! I had so much fun photographing Matt and Jens wedding at the stunning Sudeley Castle in Cheltenham. We had a complete mixture of weather which was actually brilliant because the white umbrellas came out too. We were completely spoilt for choice in terms of where to take photographs as the whole venue and its surrounding acres are simply breath taking. Heres just a tiny snippet of there day. Happy browsing!

Lyndsey & Andy (Deer Park Hall wedding)

The beautiful location of Deer Park Hall in Eckington. We had a few showers that broke out just after we created the heart image so it was perfect timing really. Lyndsey and Andy are such a lovely couple and I wish them all the best for the future.

Fionnuolla & Stephen (Catholic Wedding in Solihull and reception @The Manor Hotel in Meriden)

Congratulations to Fionnuola and Steve. A very fun (and crazy) wedding day!

Its been extremely hectic over the last few months being in the middle of the wedding season. We’ve had some unusual but yet very usual, un-predicted weather for the UK over the last 2 months.

I just thought I’d share a snippet of images from Fionnuola and Stephens wedding that took place at the end of last month. I hope everyone’s had a lovely August bank holiday weekend!! =)

The Amazing new ‘Sparks’!!! (Mr and Mrs Sparks to be exact) an absolutely scorching hot day, and yes we were in the UK!

Both Gem and Rob couldn’t take the smile off there faces throughout, It was such a pleasure to document such a fab day. The Royal Agricultural Collage is where they both met so to get married there too was very special. Shortly followed by Stone Barn (Cripps Barn) hidden away in North Leach, Cirencester by fields of Barley. Amazing.

Amanda, Bethany’s mum is my very good friend of mine from school. I am so so pleased for her and Kian, Bethany’s dad and their new GORGEOUS baby girl. Although I’m not happy at all with the way Amanda has slipped straight back into her little denim shorts (thats not fair lol) I really enjoyed the shoot and can’t wait to do another one in a couple of months time! I love the fact we had the chance to go out into the garden and make the most of the nice weather. (Lets hope we get lots more sunshine please as I’m banking on some devonshire sunshine in August too) =) Lots of love to you 3 xx
