The Marriage of Louise and Chris

Tuesday, January 15th, 2013

Barnsdale Lodge on the shores of Rutland Water was the setting for the wedding of Louise and Chris and what a lovely venue it was too! Though the weather was cold, the atmosphere surrounding the happy couple was warm and joyous. Louise looked beautiful in her elegant wedding gown and fur cape as she walked down the aisle to join Chris at the front. Chris couldnt have smiled more when he saw her and who could have blamed him! Priory Photography were very proud to be asked to capture happy memories for Louise and Chris and wish them all the love in the world as they embark on their married life together!

Emma and Toms wedding at Heythrop Park, Oxfordshire

Monday, September 3rd, 2012

You expect a Wedding Day to entail some stress or detail that doesn’t quite go to plan but occasionally you encounter a day that is perfect in every way! Emma and Tom’s wedding was just such an occasion! Two hours after arriving in the sleepy Oxfordshire village of Churchill, we were surrounded by uniformed officers of H.M. Armed Forces, namely the RAF, who were there in force to support Tom on his big day. Following lunch, Tom resplendent in his full dress uniform, made his way to All Saints Church accompanied by his Best Men Bobby and John and the groomsmen.

The sight of over 12 servicemen in full dress uniform, many with swords was a sight to behold. The Bride however was never in danger of being upstaged for she was truly breathtaking in a classic vintage dress with full cathedral veil! Emma had given Tom orders not to turn round till she reached him and as she made her way up the aisle on the arm of her Father I caught sight of the tears of happiness in her eyes and understood why. Following a moving ceremony, the happy couple left the church under an Arch of military Swords! This perfect moment was only slightly bettered by the sight of the Red Arrows flying overhead! The warm sunshine and blue skies made the reception venue of Heythrop Park even more special and provided the perfect backdrop for photographs.

It was an honour and a privilege to be your Wedding Photographers Emma and Tom for which we thank you with all our hearts, we wouldn’t have missed it for the world! Priory Photography wish this lovely couple all the very best that married life has to offer them for they truly deserve it!

Shawn and Sophie’s wedding at Barton Marina

Sunday, August 26th, 2012

The weather forecast was for rain from 1pm onwards, the clouds were black and we even heard thunder! Yet magically the rain stayed away for Shawn and Sophie’s wedding day! Sophie looked truly stunning in her wedding gown and though lovely to start with, the make up artistry of Sally Simpson had transformed her into the Bride we would all love to look like! Shawns face when he first saw her said it all.

The Waterfront at Barton Marina played perfect host to the Happy Couple and the Marina itself was a lovely backdrop to the celebrations! Best Man Ben gave a very funny speech and trying to focus on my work whilst laughing at the same time was not easy! All too soon, we approached the end of the evening. Thank you Sophie and Shawn for granting us the honour of being your wedding photographers, we thoroughly enjoyed capturing your memories and sharing your precious moments! Dx

Vicky and Adams wedding at Drayton Manor Hotel

Thursday, June 7th, 2012

Drayton Manor’s new Hotel played host to the wedding of Vicky and Adam and what a great day we all had!! I spent the morning with Vicky photographing Bridal Prep which was full of laughter, tears and huge smiles!! When you have spent many months planning, preparing, hoping, praying, worrying, and fretting it can all be quite a relief when the day finally arrives! Emotions are often close to the surface but it’s all good and helps make the day special because it means so much to you and loved ones around you. Vicky and Adam had a wonderful day with family and friends and my lasting memory will always be when they sat down on the chairs at the front before the Registrar and whispered “I love you” to each other before the ceremony began. I felt like I was intruding on a private moment so I looked away but when people really love each other it warms your own heart too just to be around them!! Have a lovely honeymoon both!!!

The wedding of Jennie and Tom at Packington Moor

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

Big smiles were the order of the day for Tom and Jennie’s wedding at Packington Moor! Even Millie their dog looked as if she were grinning from ear to ear! When it comes to describing Tom’s smile when he saw how breathtaking Jennie looked as she walked down the aisle though – well words fail me. She looked amazing! Following the ceremony, family and friends gathered in the lovely gardens of Packington Moor Farm for photographs and though it was becoming a little fresh at this time of the day no-one really minded. Packington Moor Staff were lovely and couldnt do enough to ensure that the day went smoothly. The only hitch if it can be called that, was when someone (who shall remain nameless) stepped on the Brides dress as she walked down the aisle! Everything was just perfect, a truly lovely day for the happy couple to remember forever. Priory Photography & Design were delighted and honoured to be asked to photograph this very special day for Jennie and Tom and wish them all the happiness in the world as they set out together as Husband and Wife!

Alison and Simon

Sunday, March 11th, 2012

When you go to photograph a wedding you expect to see some nervous anticipation from the groom but Simon was calm personified! His wedding to Alison at the Arden Hotel was full of laughter but if there were some butterflies, they were not on show. When Alison entered the room, Simon beamed from ear to ear as did the rest of their family and friends as she looked every inch the beautiful Bride. Simon’s Sister Karren had done a splendid job for them with the flowers as the colourful blooms really were eye-catching. The Arden Hotel, played perfect host to the happy couple and their guests and nothing was too much trouble! When we took them outside for a romantic candlelit shot, it really did feel quite magical! Priory Photography were very proud to be asked to be a part of this lovely couple’s special day and we wish them a long and happy life together as husband and wife!

Debby and Wayne

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

After the December of 2010, nobody knew just what to expect from New Year’s Eve 2011! For Debby and Wayne it was their Wedding Day and nothing was going to spoil it! It was a little cold but nothing compared to the previous year, so even though the bride came fully prepared with comfy white snow boots and white fur cape to match her stunning white wedding dress – it wasn’t too bad. Wayne was full of anticipation rather than nerves and even though his Best Men and Ushers kept him both amused and distracted, it was well worth it when Debby (after forgetting her bouquet) arrived. Wayne’s proud, beaming face said it all!! From the wedding ceremony at the Church, and on to the reception at Chesford Grange, Kenilworth! The Happy Couple had arranged a surprise for their guests by way of their arrival at the reception – real reindeer pulling a sleigh! Entrances just don’t come much better than that!

With the theme of winter in mind Debby had worked hard on the decor and details of the Reception room so that it looked breathtaking. The theme of white, ice blue and silver was reflected in the lighting, table centre pieces and lots of details such as the bauble place settings and white dove decorations. Wow!! If the fact that it was Debby and Wayne’s wedding wasn’t enough to encourage guests to enjoy themselves the “Buckaroo Reindeer” and “Photobooth” certainly were! When the clock struck midnight, party streamers, confetti and shout’s of “Happy New Year!” marked the beginning of this lovely couple’s first year as Husband and Wife. Priory Photography and Design were both delighted and honored to have been asked to capture Debby and Wayne’s wedding day for them and wish them both a long and very happy life together as Mr and Mrs Croft!

Laura and Matts Wedding at Hawksyard Hall, Rugeley

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

After the heatwave of last week, it was down to earth with a bump and back to normal temperatures when we photographed Matt and Laura’s wedding on Friday! The Autumn colours were beautiful though and made a lovely backdrop to the setting of Hawkesyard Hall as the Wedding Venue.

Laura looked amazing as she entered and there were a few teary eyes amongst family and friends. The red camper van complete with surfboard that Laura arrived in, looked fab as it drove the couple round to give them some time alone.

St Thomas’ Priory Golf Club played perfect host to the wedding breakfast and reception and looked after everyone so well! We would like to wish Matt and Laura a long and happy married life together and are proud to have been asked to photograph their very special day!!

Amy and Spencers Wedding at the Castle Hotel, Tamworth

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

When Amy and Spencer came to visit us earlier in the year we fully expected their wedding to take place on a brisk, fresh Autumnal day and not during a heatwave in October! Sunday 2nd October 2011 may well be the day that many remember as being hotter than most of our Summer days but for Spencer and Amy it was the day that they were married at the Castle Hotel, Tamworth. Everything about the day was beautiful from our lovely Bride Amy to the smile on Spencer’s face when he saw her as you can see captured in our photograph below. I could write reams about what a wonderful day it was but that photograph says it all and so much more! We would like to wish Spencer and Amy only the very best that life has to offer them as they deserve only the very best!

What do our clients think of us!

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

“We could not have been more pleased that we chose Debbie and Mark to photograph our wedding. We looked at a lot of photographers but when we met Debbie at a wedding fare, we knew that we were going to go with Priory Photography. It’s a big decision to make, asking a stranger to take such personal pictures of you and your family and friends, on the most important day of your life! But Debbie and Mark made it easy for us. It was very important that we both felt comfortable and calm on our big day. They listened to everything we said and really cared about us having wonderful day, as well as taking the best pictures to remember our wedding. They really could not do enough for us, to make sure we were happy with all the shots they took. We had all the pictures we wanted and more. It was also lovely for us to go and have some private pictures taken together, just the two of us, and Debbie and Mark came up with some beautiful ideas for romantic photographs. Many of our guests also commented on how lovely and accommodating they both were, which was great as you want all your guests to enjoy the day as much as you do. It was absolutely the most perfect and best day of our lives and we have to thank Debbie and Mark for being there to photograph every wonderful memory. They are images, that hopefully one day, we can share with our children and grandchildren. We will look back and treasure them for the rest of our lives! Love Donna and Paul”. xx’
Donna and Paul Cowley, Leamington Spa

“Just wanted to say how perfect you have been for our wedding. From the moment we first approached you, you have been nothing professional, friendly and keen to help us get the perfect wedding shots.
Both you and Mark are amazing photographers as well as wonderful people – it was more like having close friends at the wedding than photographers.
Thank you for everything, you were perfect!”
Dan and Tania, Lincoln Cathedral, August 20th.

“Mark and Debbie helped to make our day so much more special with their friendly and professional service. We both hate having our photos taken but after speaking on the phone & then meeting them both in person we knew we’d be in safe hands. On the day, nothing was too much trouble & it was so relaxing & informal that we forgot they were there. When we saw the finished product we were so astounded at the quality & the vast selection of photos available to us that still 6 months on picking the wedding photos for the album is still on our to do list!!! We would recommend them to anyone without hesitation”.
Jackie and Ben Delves, Chester

“I would recommend Priory Photography to anyone. The team are very personalised and listen to your needs. Nothing is too much trouble and more importantly the photographs are AMAZING!”
Mr & Mrs Thompson, Burton on Trent

“We choose Debbie & Mark because their photographs were beautiful but also because we liked them! I put off choosing a photographer because I thought they were all the same – scary! Debbie and Mark weren’t like that though from the moment we met they. On the day, they worked longer than I thought they would, taking our photographs from about 12 noon till 10pm. They took loads of pictures and helped us to design our album after. We were really, really pleased with our lovely wedding album. Many thanks”
Hollie & Robert Atkins, Birmingham
