Tracy and Alan at Oak Farm Hotel 14th June 2014.

The sun was out again for today’s wedding at the Oak FarmHotel, and when I got there the guests were making the most of it in the gardens. Tracy arrived with style in an Austin Six, a nice surprise for her from Alan, and when she came into the ceremony he surprised her again by wearing some comedy glasses. Don’t worry he didn’t wear them for the whole ceremony. After the ceremony it was out into the gardens to for some photos and enjoy the sun. Before long it was back inside for the wedding breakfast, speeches, and then the evening with our Photo Guest Book.

Jennifer and Mike at Oak Farm Hotel, Cannock 17th May 2014

Picture Box at Oak Farm Hotel for a wedding, I’ve lost count how many weddings I have done here over the years that I have been photographing weddings. Still it is a nice venue, and on a day like today with the sun shining the guests will be relaxing having a drink in the front garden. When I arrived that is exactly what they were doing, so a few quick shots of Mike and the lads before they had to go into the ceremony room to see the Registrar. Jennifer arrived on time and in style in a Morris 18, as you would expect driven by John from Platinum Wedding Cars. Again a few quick photos and it was in so Jennifer could see the Registrar as well. The ceremony was straight forward no mistakes and no tears from Jennifer or Mike, then off outside. A few family shots then it was time for the guests to take it easy with a much needed cold drink while I got some nice shots of the new MR & Mrs Taylor.

Katie and Adam at Hawkesyard Hall Estate, 3rd May 2014.

I always look forward to coming to Hawkesyard Hall whether its for a wedding or a wedding fayre as it is such a nice setting and on a day like today with the sun doing its best and not a cloud in the sky you couldn’t hope for more. 

When I got to Hawkesyard Hall Katie and the girls were busy with hair and makeup in the bridal suite, along with more than a few glasses of bubbly. Katie had seemed quite calm when we met on the pre wedding meeting but if there was a Picture Box Awards ceremony at the end of the year I think Katie may be a nominee for “The most excited Bride on the day”. Adam on the other hand was definitely one of the most nervous grooms that I have met. 

Although being nervous Adam remained composed as the bridesmaids and an emotional and tearful Katie entered the ceremony room. After a short ceremony without anymore tears from Katie it was off outside to enjoy the gardens and a bit of welcome sunshine. Some of the guests simply relaxed with a drink, whilst the others amused themselves with a game of oversized Jenga. Mr & Mrs Fullagar headed off down into the gardens for some photos. Hawkesyard Hall is great as there are so many bits that can be used for photos.

As much as I could have carried on photographing Katie and Adam it was time to head down to the reception. Mandy from Make My WeddingSpecial had done a great job on the ceremony room but it has to be said that she had done a fabulous job on the reception room, colourful is an understatement. Room shots done, cake shots done and it was time for me to leave.  A big thank you to all of Katie & Adam and all their family and friends for making the day enjoyable, and a big thank you as well to Andrew and all the staff at Hawkesyard Hall I’m looking forward to the next wedding there.

Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Fullagar.
