Coventry Wedding

Saturday's Coventry wedding was the ideal wedding. Despite a cold wind, the sun was out and the flowers were blooming. The vicar was extremely welcoming and co-operative, allowing one operator to stand at the front of the church and one at the back. Not only that – but the photographer was very accommodating and friendly.

With the reception held at Ardencote Manor Hotel – it was stunning to see a rainbow on the horizon as the guests enjoyed the wedding breakfast.

The day finished with messages for the bride and groom; some very kind and memorable, some just hilarious!

Warwick Wedding

We filmed a lovely small wedding on Easter Monday in Warwick. It was very cold and it even snowed! But as the sun set, its rays was streamed into the marquee - stunning!

My three favourite things about their wedding were:

1. On the orders of service were characatures of the couple in front of the church – was great fun and very colourful!

2. The couple took the term ‘cheesecake’ to the extreme. They had a five-tiered cake, with each tier being a different kind of cheese. And to top it off, they draped a beautiful pink orchid down the side.

3. The Three Waiters performed at the wedding – I have heard about them but had never seen them until then. They were fantastic – but the success of their performance was massively dependent upon their surprise, or their ‘shock factor’. They would be a brilliant surprise/present for a friend at their wedding!
