Jessica and Ian at St Mark’s Church, Great Wyrley and The Barns Hotel, Cannock, 24th April 2015.

Its been a couple of years since Picture Box has been to St Mark’s to photograph a wedding. and like the last time I was here everything ran like clockwork. Lads turned up on time in suits from Dapper Dan, photos done and in before the bridesmaids arrived. Then time for Jessica to arrive in style in an Austin Princess from Platinum Wedding Cars, and on time as you would expect from Platinum. A few photos done and, it was in for the ceremony.

With no interruptions to the ceremony, register signed, it was back out for a few family shots, confetti, before some shots of Jessica and Ian on their own by the church door.

The Barns is a popular venue for receptions this year, and it has some good opportunities for photos, and I even got the chance to try out some new Ideas with Jessica and Ian, one where I was crouched down in the road and I since found out got in the way of one of last year’s grooms as he was coming down Cocksparrow Lane, think I may need to look at getting a hi-vis jacket. Still managed to survive without a scratch, and get the rest of today’s photos done.

Despite there being a few clouds in the sky the weather was definitely on our side today and the guests and the new Mr & Mrs Bailey had a great day.

Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Bailey.

Claire and Richard at The Ashes, Endon. 13th April 2015

The Ashes is great venue for a  wedding as there is so many different areas to use for photos, so although it’s a few miles more than most of the venues that I do I still look forward to a trip here. Today’s wedding was no different although there was a quick stop off on the way at Moat House for some bridal prep shots before heading off to The Ashes for the groom and best men. 

The guests arrived in style today in an old London Transport Routemaster bus in red exactly the same as the ones I used to get to school each day. Both Claire and Richard seemed pretty relaxed about today really, however Richard was putting on a brave face until Claire came down the aisle, and he shed a tear.

Today was also the first time I had done two ceremonies at the same wedding. First there was the official ceremony with the registrars and then everybody went outside by the lake for a blessing.

Photos over and another different twist for today, instead of the guest being waited on each table had an apron, chef’s hat and one guest on each table then had to carve a joint of meat for the other guests at the table.

Today was definitely a wedding with more than one difference and will be one that I’m sure will stick in the memory of the guests for some time.

Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Kneeshaw.
