Kim & James's Wedding - Somerford Hall

I met Kim and James last year and was absolutely delighted as always that they booked me for their wedding photography.

The day started at their home where Kim, her bridesmaids and her Mother were all getting ready. The girls had kicked James out the night before and had all stayed for a pre-wedding party - a couple of hangovers were lurking around, but thankfully not for Kim :)
I started out shooting some details of the dress and shoes, flowers etc, as well as capturing the banter while the girls had their hair and makeup done.

We then headed off to St Michaels Church in Penkridge, where we set up ready to capture the ceremony. The church is an old stone-built church with beautiful stained glass windows and side aisles. it also has a balcony which gives us photographers plenty of scope for different angles. Add to that a really cool and funky priest, we just knew it was going to be a great day !

Kim and James were very traditional about their wedding, which meant straight out, with guests following behind, straight into their limo then off to the venue.

I followed closely behind to ensure I was there when Kim and James got out of the car - on the way there, we drove through sideways rain which meant we parked up and waited for it to finish before we could get out of our cars !! The venue was Somerford Hall in Brewood - a besutiful building with large spacious rooms with plenty of light flooding in through the large windows. Which was just as well as it was a pretty miserable day outside !
