Sarah and Bens Wedding at the Brook Marston Farm Hotel, Warwickshire

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

It’s been a really fab weekend! Yesterday we were at the wedding of Benjamin Foster and Sarah Foster, which was magical from beginning to end! A beautiful snowy white day which provided lots of laughter, anxiety, and tears especially when Ben lost his wedding ring in the snow! A moment that will stay with him forever! Alls well that ends well though! — at Brook Marston Farm Hotel.

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!

Sandra and John’s wedding held at Lea Marston Hotel & Spa.

Friday, October 19th, 2012

Sandra and John chose Lea Marston Hotel as the venue for their wedding on what turned out to be a beautiful Autumn day! Both the Bride and Groom were totally relaxed as they made their vows and if they had been just a little nervous it really didnt show! John’s parents unfortunately couldnt make the wedding but with their photograph close to them, the Happy Couple ensured that they were there in spirit. Proceedings went smoothly with the presence of a Master of Ceremonies who made everyone smile and brought a touch of bygone eras to the occasion. It was a wonderful day and Priory Photography were very proud to be a part of it! We wish you all the very very best Sandra and John!!

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

The marriage of Carina and Marc at Sketchley Grange Hotel & Spa, Leicestershire

Thursday, August 9th, 2012

These are a few photos we took at the wedding of Carina and Marc at Sketchley Grange Hotel and Spa. It was a lovely day for all concerned but especially for the happy couple! The look of pride and joy on Marc’s face said it all when he saw Carina for the first time in her wedding gown. Though Marc admits that he is not overfond of photographs, we didnt have to ask him to smile – he couldnt stop!! Thank you for asking us to share your special day, it was lovely and we were delighted to capture memories for you!

Sarah and Rob

Thursday, June 21st, 2012

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!!

Collette and Chris at The Old School House, Weeford

Friday, June 8th, 2012

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!

Natalie and Jon’s wedding at The Old School House, Weeford

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

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.

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!

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!

Ellen and Lee

Monday, December 12th, 2011

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

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

Sam and Matt

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

Weddings are always a wonderful occasion and although stressful they are always worth the stress and time put into them. This was especially so for Matt and Sam when they married at Tamworth Registry Office. After arriving in a limousine with her Bridesmaids and Pageboys, Sam never looked lovelier. Matt knew he was a lucky man and his smile said it all when he first saw her as she walked down the aisle to meet him. With vows exchanged and the realisation that they were husband, all nerves disappeared. Following photographs in the grounds of Tamworth Castle, the Happy Couple were at last given the chance to spend time together alone as our photographs reflect.

The Progressive Club played perfect host to their Wedding Breakfast and Reception and was magically transformed to complement the Wedding Colours. The Wedding Cake had been saved as a surprise for Sam as she had been told that she would be unable to have her dream cake, yet when the time came there it was! We were honoured to photograph Sam and Matt’s Wedding and be a part of their special day and wish them all the happiness in the world as they sail through life as Husband and Wife.
