Barns Cannock Wedding Photographer

Another last one for me in this my retirement year, a final visit to The Barns in Cannock for the sunny wedding of Lou and Luke. My day started with a tour of the rooms to capture the detail, rooms which had been impeccably styled by Carabou for today’s ceremony and celebrations. Chatting to the registrars it turned out that I had photographed the wedding of one of them, Jane 23 years ago..!!! Luke, his sons, Liam and Ryan and the groomsmen were first to face the lens, looking “a proper job” in their suits from Dapper Dan.

Paul from Platinum Wedding Cars soon arrived with the lovely bridesmaids, including the couple's daughter Ellie and of course the radiant Mother of the Bride. His next journey saw our Bride, Lou, wearing a fabulous gown from White Rose of Stafford make her entrance, escorted by her father.

After a short and enjoyable ceremony, the couple took a slow drive, courtesy of Platinum Wedding Cars to Shoal Hill on Cannock Chase for their personal wedding portraits.

Stunning Spring Wedding at The Moat House Acton Trussell

The Moat House Acton Trussell has for many years been one of our favourite venues.  Today for the wedding of Georgia & Sean it was to be my last visit as a professional photographer and it looked just as fresh and friendly as it always has.  I shall miss this place as I move into retirement. The day itself was a really kind day, heavy rain forecast for later but for the wedding, thankfully dry.

Moat House Wedding Photographers

My day started with Georgia as she enjoyed her final preparations with Rachel Bourne taking care of her make up with hair by Gemma Birch.  I left them for a short time to capture Sean & the guys who arrived in a surprise Limo, have to say they all looked rather smart in their suits from Dapper Dan.

Next, it was back to Georgia, just in time to see her stepping into her fantastic gown from Wedding Belles of Four Oaks.  The day was now speeding along and soon all of the guests were seated in the Acton suite, styled today to perfection by Bespoke Creations, who incidentally also provided the bouquets and bridal party flowers.

Sean stood at the front eagerly awaiting his bride and when she arrived, yes you guessed it…..the tears flowed. The ceremony was made all that much more enjoyable by the regular interruptions from Dolly, the couples adorable daughter.

Lakeside portraits at The Moat House 

As Georgia & Sean left the room they were joined by close family and friends Lakeside for those all important group shots. Taking advantage of the kind weather the couple then joined me for their personal portraits around the gorgeous grounds of this stunning venue.

Candid Photographs of the Wedding Speeches at The Moat House

Back to the Acton suite for photos with the cake from Cakes by Pip, Table Centres by the bride’s friend Stacey and stationery from Elegant Creations by Mandy. Coverage of the entertaining speeches completed the daytime sessions, with an evening return to capture the first dance of the new Mr & Mrs Haynes bringing their day with me to a close. Without question a wedding that was a pleasure to cover and a fitting end to my career at The Moat House.   Georgia & Sean's suppliers:- Venue - The Moat House Acton Trussell Venue Dresser & Florist - Bespoke Creations Dress - Wedding Belles of Four Oaks Menswear - Dapper Dan Cake - Cakes by Pip of Wednesfield Stationery - Elegant Creations by Mandy MUA - Rachel Bourne Hair - Gemma Birch Photography - Barry James - the couple chose our CD coverage

Ellie + Josh's Acton Trussell Wedding by Stafford Wedding Photographers

Church Bells ringing, snowdrops blooming, another new season begins.  Today saw me at St James Acton Trussell and The Moat House for the wedding of the lovely Ellie and her handsome groom Josh.  My day started at Ellie’s parent's house to photograph her dress from Wed2be and her bouquet from C & R Flowers.  It was then over to the church to capture Josh & the guys who made the short walk from the Moat House, have to say they looked extremely smart in their suits from Duncan James.  Next to arrive in a stretch limo from Finishing Touch were……wait for it……. Ellie’s nine bridesmaids, two flower girls and six pageboys!  Right behind in a modern Bentley from the same company came the star of the show, today's Bride Ellie, escorted by her Dad Robert to make the short walk down the aisle where her husband to be, Josh, eagerly awaited her arrival. After the ceremony and a few photos at church, it was over to the warmth of the Moat House.  Due to the cold weather, all of today’s group shots were completed in the library, a gorgeous room, with the couple then joining me for photos in the Acton Suite, styled today to perfection as always by Design Elegance.  The guests at this time were entertained by the fabulous Andrew & Nicki of Finesse. To complete today's short coverage the couple braved the elements for a portrait session in the wonderful grounds of the Moat House.  They will have the chance to warm up on their honeymoon in Mexico.

So it was a welcome return to Calderfields, one of our most popular local venues for the wedding of Kirsty and Lee, on this beautiful early October day. Lee and the guys were there early, looking well smart in their suits from Duncan James.  A little while after the bridesmaids arrived in a stretch from Finishing Touch.  Following behind was our bride Kirsty and her Dad in a gorgeous Austin Princess, courtesy of Platinum Wedding Cars.  Kirsty looked stunning in her gown from Your Wedding Shop, with a bouquet from Flore of Willenhall completing the picture. Emerald Strings entertained the guests as they waited for the ceremony to begin. After a small delay, Kirsty walked the few steps to be at Lee’s side as they became husband and wife.  Then as the guests enjoyed celebration drinks the couple joined me Lakeside for their personal portraits.  Family group shots preceded the meal with me then returning for cake cutting, the cake provided by Bee’s Scrummy Cakes, and first dance later in the evening.

A Gorgeous Summer Wedding at Fairlawns in Aldridge

One of our local venues, the lovely Fairlawns at Aldridge was the setting for today’s wedding of Mykala and Aaron. The day started with Mykala and the girls as they made themselves ready for the big occasion. Mykala's dress, a Maggie Sottero creation from Wedding Belles of Four Oaks looked fabulous on its hanger and looked even better once Mykala stepped into it complimented by her “Jimmy Choo” shoes. It was not long before Aaron and the guys arrived in style in a surprise stretch limo.  They were wearing full highland kilt attire supplied by Duncan James of Walsall – and very impressive they looked too. The garden room had been styled to perfection for the ceremony by Stacey and the team at Make My Wedding Special. Aaron waited nervously for the appearance of his bride Mykala who was escorted to his side by her Dad Steve.  The ceremony was short but meaningful and soon the newly married couple led their guests to The Terrace for celebration drinks before joining me on the lovely grounds for their group shots.  After a few moments capturing their private portraits, it was time to eat and celebrate. An evening return for the first dance and cake cutting completed my coverage for this “so much in love” couple.

Oak Farm was the venue for today’s wedding of Emma & Chris.  It is one of our most popular venues this season and this was my second wedding of the weekend there – it really is a warm and friendly venue. Chris was first to show, looking resplendent in his immaculate suit from Kevin Paul Hednesford.

Emma joined Chris in the Garden suite at Oak Farm for a short, meaningful and sometimes quite an emotional ceremony. As their guests mingled on the terrace for welcome drinks and canapés the couple enjoyed a few private moments with me in the front gardens for their personal portraits. They then joined their family and friends for final group shots before the meal. The reception was in the Paddock Suite which was simply but beautifully dressed today by Venue Creations, centrepiece – the cake from Cakes & Sugar Craft Cannock. My short coverage today now complete I left another happy couple to enjoy the company of their children, family & friends.

Oak Farm Wedding Photographs

Today’s wedding at one of our most popular venues Oak Farm where our bride Bash and her groom Lee was set to be a very colourful and lively event, a Scotsman marrying an Indian lady – what else would you expect! After a couple of hours with Bash as she prepared for her wedding day it was on to Oak Farm to meet Lee and the guys.  As a Scotsman Lee and his groomsmen were all dressed in kilts with the full highland accessories, which had been provided by Slaters Menswear of Birmingham. Not long before Bash arrived accompanied by her daughter Sonia, her bridesmaid and her son Sonny, who was to have the honour of presenting his mother to Lee. Bash was wearing a traditional Indian wedding gown from Kiran's of Birmingham and carried a gorgeous bouquet created by Hawthorn Florists of Essington. After a short but meaningful ceremony as their guests enjoyed reception drinks, Bash & Lee joined me for personal portraits in the immaculate garden at the front of Oak Farm.  Rain interrupted our coverage, but thankfully the clouds disappeared long enough for us to complete all of the group shots and further Bride & Groom photos before everyone was due to sit for their meal. The Paddock suite looked lovely day styled by Venue Creations.  A piper led the couple into the room accompanied by rapturous applause and cheers from their family & friends. An evening return for the cake cutting, a  work of art from Sugar & Spice, and first dance to the sounds of Code Music completed our coverage for Bash & Lee. Have to say the highlights of the evening for me were the fantastic performance of Amit from Code Music and his drummer, the enthusiastic dancing by the ladies in their colourful clothing and a top top-class buffet from Oak Farm.

Fiona + Martin's wedding story at St Johns Hammerwich and Moat House Acton Trussell

From the first time I met today’s groom, he had a smile on his face and today, the day he would marry Fiona at St Johns Hammerwich he was positively beaming.  Martin and his best man Neil plus his two sons and two of Fiona’s sons, his ushers were first to face the lens and extremely smart they all looked in their suits from Duncan James.  Fiona’s two bridesmaids were next to arrive quickly followed by Fiona in a modern Bentley from Finishing Touch.  She was escorted to her wedding by her eldest son.  Her dress from Kissxx Lichfield was an absolute delight, as was her bouquet from Amanda Hower of Burntwood. After a moving ceremony, the couple lead their family and friends out of church for a few photos followed by an avalanche of confetti before enjoying a leisurely drive to the Moat House Acton Trussell to continue their celebrations. As their guests enjoyed welcome drinks and canapes Martin & Fiona joined me on a tour of the venue’s fabulous grounds for their personal portraits. The all-important group shots were then covered before the couple made their way to the Acton suite, which looked fabulous today styled by Bespoke Creations.  A few images in the room completed our coverage today for Fiona & Martin.

A full day ahead for Stephen and myself starting with bridal preps for Katie and her bridesmaids right through to the evening celebrations at the gorgeous Chateau Impney, which incidentally was completed in 1875, a jewel in the crown of Droitwich. While Stephen stayed with Katie right up until she left for church with her Dad in her car from LOVE WEDDING CARS I set off to meet Dave and the guys at St Annes at Streetly. They looked “window perfect” in their suits from Duncan James, and I must say were very calm and relaxed, it's wonderful what a break from school can do… Next to arrive were the beautiful bridesmaids and Katies Mom, and we all then along with many onlookers eagerly awaited the bride's entrance. We were not disappointed as she alighted from her Love Wedding Cars vintage style wedding car looking absolutely stunning in her gown from Designs on You and carrying a beautiful bouquet from Bramble Hedge Florist (Queslett). An extremely lively ceremony saw Katie and Dave become man and wife.After a few photos at Church, including a complete confetti storm it was on to the Chateau to celebrate the wedding of these childhood sweethearts. The gardens at this stunning venue provided the perfect backdrop for both the group shots and the couples personal portraits, not just your normal groups though as Dave, the Dads and the groomsmen had their shirts torn open to reveal “Super hero” T shirts,which was also the theme for the Grand ballroom and the dual design cake from Love Cake Supplies of Bourneville. Stephen and myself stayed with Katie and Dave to capture the speeches, cake cutting and a superb “show stopping” performance by Katie and two of her bridesmaids. as the band, Sparks said follow that if we can… Our time with this lovely couple and their equally lovely family and friends then came to a close….

Wedding Photography of a Calderfields Summer Wedding

  Today’s wedding of Leanne and Zennon saw a welcome return for both Stephen and myself to one of our most popular venues – Calderfields Golf and Country Club.  The weather had been absolutely horrendous right up until the time for the arrivals and then as if by magic the rain, wind and thunder disappeared.  I would like to think it was down to us, but in reality, a greater force was involved. Zennon & the guys were first in front of the lens smartly presented in their suits from Dapper Dan. Finishing Touch transported the bridesmaids and the bride to the ceremony.  Leanne took up the whole of the back seat in her mammoth and beautiful gown from Simone's of Wednesbury.  Her hair was the crowning glory lovingly styled by Gemma Neville of Dream Bridal Hair.  She carried a lovely bouquet from Herbarium of Aldridge. The ceremony was an entertaining event after which the couple joined Stephen and myself for the private photos at Lakeside. Group shots then preceded the meal which took place in the marquee style Calderfields Suite.  The meal was “rudely” interrupted after the main course by a couple of policemen looking for a suspect.  The hushed silence was replaced with cheers and laughter as people realised that this was, in fact, the afternoon entertainment. In the evening Owen Strickland dazzled the guests with his magic skills, Booth Events provided giggles for folk that used the photo booth, and the cake from Cakeland of Great Bridge was cut and served. A starlight dance floor was laid by Design Elegance for the couple to celebrate their marriage with a first dance as Mr & Mrs Webster. Leanne and Zennon chose the following suppliers for their special day:- Venue -  Calderfields Bridal Hair - Gemma Neville of Dream Bridal Hair Bride’s Dress - Simone's (Wednesbury) Florist - Herbarium of Aldridge Menswear  - Dapper Dan Cars - Finishing Touch of Smethwick Cake - Cakeland of Great Bridge Photobooth - Booth Events Dance Floor - Design Elegance Magician - Owen Strickland and the singing policemen Photography - Les & Stephen of Barry James – the couple chose our Calderfields Exclusive Bronze collection

Today saw a welcome return for me to a venue where I always look forward to working, the wonderful The Crow’s Nest at The Waterfront, Barton Marina for the wedding of Julie and Kevin.  The weather wasn’t the best, light rain, strong winds with heavy rain forecast,but none of this was going to dampen anyone’s spirits, as became more and more apparent as the day progressed. Kevin and his best man were first to arrive,well over 30 minutes late due to an accident on the way, but he still emerged from the stretch limo from Finishing Touch with a broad smile on his face, he was really looking forward to his big day with Julie, and I must say he looked immaculate in his suit from Peter Posh from Minworth. The Limo then had to return to collect Julie and the bridesmaids so we all knew she would be unavoidably detained, it’s fashionable for the bride to be a little late… When Julie arrived she looked absolutely stunning in her gown from Abbey Warehouse of Leeds and just like Kevin…she wore a massive smile. It was not long before she joined Kevin in the Crow’s Nest, which looked perfect, dressed by Sorella Events, for a lively ceremony that would see them become “Mr and Mrs Haynes”. Family group photos followed the drinks reception before the couple joined me for a somewhat windy tour of the grounds for their personal portraits. Back inside for final shots of the room and the couple with their cake from Celebration Cakes completed my time with this truly happy couple.

Today’s venue, The Moat House Acton Trussell, has been one of my all time favourites over the last 25 years.  I have seen it grow and expand, yet it always keeps that little secret of being “special” to each and every couple who choose to get married there, as it was again today for the marriage of Deborah and Frank. My coverage started with Frank and the guys who looked “window” perfect in their suits from the well established and respected Duncan James of Walsall. Deborah and her bridesmaids were mext up and have to say she looked absolutely divine in her gown from Kissxx Bridal of Lichfiel. She was soon to join Frank in the Colin Lewis Suite, which had been dressed to perfection by Kerry of Sorella, for the ceremony that would soon see them leave as husband & wife. My very great friends Andrew + Nicky Kristy of Finesse Piano + Cello played as Deb walked down the aisle.  After the ceremony the couple joined their family and friends for those all important group shots. It was then just the two of them who came with me to explore the fabulous grounds lakeside for their own personal portraits. We then ventured into the Acton Suite again styled by Sorella for a few more photos before moving to Canal side for their final “big” group shot and confetti before their meal.   Deb & Franks suppliers Venue - Moat House Venue Décor & Florist - Sorella Events Menswear - Duncan James Dress - Kissxx Bridal Music - Finesse Piano + Cello Photography - Barry James – The couple chose our Storybook Bronze collection

Hayley + Matthew's Wedding Story at Brownhills Methodist captured by Fairlawns Wedding Photographers Barry James

Today’s wedding at Brownhills Methodist Church was one of those occasions when you really know how time flies, our groom Matthew and his brother Chris were educated at Shire Oak at the same time as my two sons Stuart & Stephen.  All are now grown men pursuing their way in the world. Matthew and his groomsmen were first in front of the lens suited and booted to perfection by Duncan James Menswear.  The bridesmaids quickly followed transported in a Daimler limousine from Finishing Touch. Our bride, Hayley arrived soon after in a fabulous modern Rolls Royce, again from Finishing Touch.  As she alighted, her dress chosen from Lucy Alexander, who incidentally also provided the bridesmaid's dresses, turned her into a Princess for the day, it was absolutely stunning.  Hayley then joined Matthew at the altar where they were to become “Mr & Mrs”. After a very lively and joyous ceremony, the couple joined their family and friends for those all important group photos at church, a church where Matthew’s Mom & Dad also got wed. It was then on to the reception venue, the fabulous Fairlawns Hotel & Spa where as their guests enjoyed reception drinks Hayley & Matthew joined me in the lovely grounds for their personal portraits. A selection of photos in the garden suite with the fabulous cake from Carole Gregory and table centres from William Wheat completed my coverage for this well-suited couple.

Great to have Stephen with me today for the wedding of Shelby & Stephen at St Marks Great Wyrley, without doubt one of our favourite churches in the region and then on to the ever popular Oak Farm hotel, which I have to say looks really good following the recent makeover. Our day started with Shelby and the girls as they enjoyed being pampered by the hairstylist and make up artist.  Then it was on to the church where first on the scene were Stephen & his best man Liam who had travelled up from Devon for the day, both of them looking extremely smart in their suits from Kevin Paul. The bridesmaids were next to arrive in a “stretch” from DSC Limousines with Shelby and her Dad Mark following close behind in a vintage Austin Princess from Platinum Wedding Cars.  All of the girls carried floral creations provided by Chase Florist. Shelby dressed in a full gown from Celebrity of Cannock was escorted by her Dad to the altar to join Stephen for the ceremony, made all that more meaningful as Stephens family are dedicated members of the congregation at St Marks. After the ceremony and a few family group shots in the church grounds it was off to Oak Farm for the couples celebrations.  The Paddock suite looked lovely today dressed by Venue Creations with balloons from Carabou, who also provided the balloons for a “release” at the end of today’s photography. Sticky Fingers provided the guests with delicious ice cream in the warm sunshine while the couple joined myself and Stephen for their personal portraits. An evening return for cake cutting (Kathryns Homemade Cakes) and first dance completed our coverage for this well suited couple.   Shelby & Stephens chosen suppliers:- Venue - Oak Farm Venue Décor - Venue Creations Cars - Bride – Platinum / Bridesmaids – DSC Limousines Dress - Celebrity Cannock Menswear - Kevin Paul Florist - Chase Florist Cake - Kathryns Homemade Cakes Balloons - Carabou Ice Cream Trike - Sticky Fingers Tamworth Photography - Barry James Photography - the couple chose our digital coverage
