The day started off with some photos of Ian and the lads getting ready, and pretty much straight away it was apparent that today was going to be a relaxed and humorous day. As for Sarah and the girls, well when I got to The Moat House it all seemed very relaxed and the bridesmaid’s hair and makeup was well underway.

Once the girls were all ready it was time for me to head off to the church to get some shots of Ian and the lads outside the church, this is normally were the day starts to get a little bit more serious however when I got to St James Ian and the best men were drinking some champagne in the car park like it was a day at the races for them, but they soon got down to business and photos done in they went before the girls arrived. Sarah arrived in style in the Morris from Platinum Cars and just at the right time, between a couple of rain showers.

I was hoping that the grey clouds outside would blow over and not try to spoil their special day, and they did. So once the ceremony was done, everyone headed off to The Moat Hose for a few drinks and some photos in the grounds. The Moat House has some great spots for photos, you just have to watch out for the swans as they don’t like you to get too close. Don’t worry I got some action shot of them.

Despite the swan incident Sarah, Ian and their guests had a great day in a great setting so thank you to all of them for making my day easier and a big thank you to Sarah and Ian for letting me be a part of their special day.

Laura and Ryan at The Moat House Hotel, Acton Trussell. 8th July 2016.

Laura and Ryan at The Moat House Hotel, Acton Trussell. 8^th July 2016.

Today was a glorious sunny day, and today The Moat House was the perfect setting for a wedding. When I got to the room to start photographing the bridal prep it was like an oven in there even with the windows open, but it didn’t seem to stop Laura and the girls enjoying a few glasses of bubbly as they prepared for the day.

I think Ryan and the lads had a similar idea as the waited in the sunshine, enjoying a beer as the guests arrived. Now normally there is a fine balance in timings at a wedding, not trying to rush bride to make sure she gets to the ceremony on time and trying to get the photos done before the registrar starts to give you that look which says that’s enough, well today was not like that the registrars form Cannock Registry Office simply said take “your time there is no rush”. So Laura did and came down from the bridal suite relaxed and laughed with her dad as she walked round the Moat House arriving traditionally a little bit late for the ceremony.

Ryan seemed a little nervous as he waited for Laura to walk down the aisle, but he relaxed when she finally walked the few steps down the aisle and the ceremony could begin.

Once the new Laura and Ryan had signed the register and made their first walk as Mr & Mrs Bell there was a little surprise for Laura. Well not so little really, unknown to Laura it had been arranged for her horse to pay a little visit to help her celebrate the day.

After all of this it was time for the guests to soak up the sun and enjoy a few drinks while we made the most of the sun and venue for a few photos before the wedding breakfast and speeches. Even after the speeches the sun was still shinning down on the Moat House so all the guest headed out on to the canal side for a few more drinks and to chill out before the evening reception, first dance and a quick sing a long for the football fans.

Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Bell.
