What a fantastic day we have had with Sarah Denham and Graham Delaney or as we know them now Mr and Mrs Delaney!!! Sarah looked stunning in a gown that suited her to perfection. The sun shone down as we photographed the happy couple and stayed lovely for the rest of the day! To end the day just right we planted lanterns and tea lights all round the new gazebo in the garden when it went dark! It was so romantic! Much love to you both! Xxxx
P.S. many thanks to the staff of the Holiday Inn j10 Walsall for all the help they gave us on Saturday.

We had a great afternoon on Saturday doing a wedding pre-shoot with Kelly and Ross. The couple are getting married at the beautiful St.Chad’s Church at Hopwas, followed by a reception at the new hotel at Drayton Manor theme park. We always meet up with couples about a month before the wedding day to finalise the plans for the big day and of course take a few photographs of them as well.

We just love the way the Marquee was decorated at the weekend for Sarah and Ben’s wedding. The staff at The Brook Marston Farm Hotel did the couple proud and the photographs looked fab with such a lovely backdrop.

When we first met Gina and Richard, their car broke down so we never got to actually sit down and discuss anything! The preshoot a year later went a little better thankfully and so when we finally got to the wedding day we were raring to go! Opposite the Stockland Green Methodist Church in Birmingham was a pub. As the Best Man Steve was definitely in the mood to celebrate – he nipped over to the pub for a bit of Dutch courage before the ceremony! Richard didnt need to though as he had waited a while for this day and was enjoying every moment! Gina looked so beautiful as Richard’s smile acknowledged! Following the ceremony, Richard and Gina travelled to the Castle Hotel, Tamworth where everyone enjoyed a celebratory drink before stepping out for photographs. At the foot of the historic Castle, the Happy Couple and their guests stopped for photographs amidst the flowers and sunshine, it was a lovely sight! As the day passed, Gina and Richard celebrated their wedding with family and guests in the Tudor Suite of the Castle Hotel, until before you knew it – it was the First Dance! We were very happy to be asked to photograph your Wedding Day Richard and Gina and wish you all the very best as Husband and Wife, now and in the future!

When I arrived to undertake Bridal Prep at Alrewas Hayes for Sarah, I was met by a scene of organised happy chaos! You cannot expect less though when you have 6 Bridesmaids who are excited, happy and nervous all at the same time! If Sarah was feeling any butterflies at this point it didnt show. The ceremony was lovely and before we knew it we were outside in the hot sunshine! Though we took the large group photographs on the lawn of Alrewas Hayes, we soon moved everyone into the courtyard where there was more shade. The lakeside was important to both of the Happy Couple as it was where Rob had proposed so we had to photograph them there, it just had to be done! Before moving on to the Wedding Breakfast in the garden of Sarah’s parents, we were able to photograph them in a friend’s classic MG. There may not have been much room for Sarah’s dress but both she and Rob looked very much at home in the gorgeous car! We wish Sarah and Rob, all the happiness in the world as they set out into married life together!!

Coombe Abbey is a beautiful place to get married and so it was for Anne and Nigel! Despite the formal nature of the setting, this was a lovely relaxed wedding with family and friends. Anne looked lovely in her wedding gown and Nigel didnt look bad either! Following their big day, Anne and Nigel were driving down to Venice in their sportscar! We were so jealous but were not surprised as Nigel is a pilot and no one wants a busman’s holiday for their honeymoon! Anne and Nigel, it was an honour and pleasure to be your wedding photographers. We wish you all the very best as you set out together as Husband and Wife!

After the heatwave of the previous week, it was definitely a little cooler for Collette & Chris’ wedding at St Mary’s C of E, Church Weeford. I always feel a little in awe of the Bride’s wedding dress as each is unique, wonderful and as individual as the Bride herself. Collette’s dress was no exception! Using natural light is more flattering but it is still hard to capture how beautiful each dress is. Collette was a picture of loveliness in her dress and I know it brought a tear to her Dad’s eye when he saw her. Chris was taking things in his stride. As a Firefighter, he is used to stressful situations but I think even he was a little overwhelmed when he first caught sight of his beautiful Bride! As tends to happen, the day went quickly in a whirl of colour and emotion. Before we knew it, the Happy Couple were dancing their first dance surrounding by the love and well wishes of their family and friends! I love weddings!! We wish you all the best that married life has to offer you both Chris and Collette!

I love my work! How could I not when I get to work with lovely people like Ben and Charlotte. Their wedding last Saturday 12th May at the Ramada, Penns Lane, Sutton Coldfield was so memorable in lots of ways! Our favourite Registrar Geoff was presiding and really put them at ease and made their ceremony personal to them! I can’t praise him enough and really enjoy working with him! Charlotte looked a dream in her Wedding Gown. As per normal, the day went by in a flash and we were photographing the first dance before we knew it! Well done to Ben and Dave the Best Man for their great speeches!

Natalie and Jon’s wedding was amazing! From the fact that it kept dry all day to how beautiful Natalie looked, the day was perfect! I got very excited when I saw the Vintage Daimler arriving and actually jumped up and down! (note to self – must be more professional and not jump up and down!!). Have a wonderful honeymoon Nat and Jon you deserve it!!! Dxxx.

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! Dxx

Tamworth came to a standstill on monday night when a multitude of dancing extras descended on Market Street to appear in the latest music video production for the band ‘Misty’s Big Adventure‘.
The video is the brainchild of talented local director Mark Locke, famous for films like ‘Crust’ and numerous music videos for Dinosaur Jr., Athelete, Unkle and the Tokyo Dragons.

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!

The weather may have been cold at Nuthurst Grange, but the love and laughter surrounding Ellen and Lee at their wedding, from family and friends was lovely and warm! Following the most relaxed and laughter filled bridal prep I ever had the pleasure to photograph, Ellen made her way with her Bridesmaids to the little chapel within the grounds. Though no one wanted to be outside for long, their family and friends were cheerful as they waited for photographs and made the whole chilly experience fun! With Christmas trees and lights all round, even Father Christmas couldnt stay away and made a surprise visit to wish the couple well and give out early presents to the good little boys and girls who were there. A magical wedding for a truly lovely couple! Thank you for letting us capture your memories and be a part of your special day, it was a true pleasure!!! Debbie & Mark xxx
