Why it's okay to plan a smaller wedding...
Planning a wedding is a huge undertaking and usually very costly. What if I told you there are couples out there who too would rather spend their hard earned cash on something a little quieter & smaller than the average wedding (at £25K!) Should you save the money and take a dream honeymoon or put it into your first house as a couple? You aren't alone, many couples since lockdown have decided to ditch the big wedding in favour of something a little more intimate...
A wedding photography package to suit you...
Bespoke Package
If you choose my Bespoke Package (4 hours cover) I can begin with the details in the morning - all those little details you don't want to forget!
1 hour is all I need to capture those all important moments before you say "I do"
Wedding ceremony's these days last usually around 30 minutes (unless it's a church wedding, they tend to be a little longer)
I capture your ceremony in a very unobtrusive, considered way - no clicking away like mad on my camera! You don't want to know I'm there!

After your ceremony I like to capture any 'Group shots' you may want - I ask my clients to write a short list ahead of the big day to make sure I get all the shots required of family & friends.
As you and your guests chat I capture candid shots and details.

After you've had chance to mingle and chat with your guests its time for me to steal you away for a short time in order to capture your newly-wed images
With the time I have left I like to capture your venue decor - your venue have usually finished decorating your wedding breakfast room so I can grab a few shots before your guests take their seats.lvia Salve
Kristin & Anthony's Micro Wedding...
at Domo Boutique Hotel & the Dudley Priory Registry Office
Wedding Prep...
Beginning my day at Domo Boutique Hotel as Kristin got ready to say I do. The fabulous Carrie of Elysian Bridal Design providing hair & make-up.
Beautiful Bride...
First Look...
Kristin & Anthony chose to travel to The Priory Registry Office together so this is their 'first look' photograph.
Any excuse for a kiss!
The Priory Registry Office...
At the Registry Office I captured a few candid images ahead of the ceremony and made sure I got the 'best man with the rings' shot.
The ceremony...
Kristin & Anthony had a beautiful ceremony infront of family and friends.
First steps as Mr & Mrs...
I captured the whole wedding party on their way to the rose garden for the all important confetti shots & the group shots of friends and family.
Confetti shots, group shots & candids...
Newly-wed images...
Once the group shots were finished Kristin & Anthony's guests made off for the reception at Domo in Oldbury. I took Kristin & Anthony over to the Priory Ruins, in the grounds of the Priory Registry Office. The ruins make a fab backdrop!
Domo Boutique Hotel
Back at the Domo Hotel Kristin & Anthony's guests were kept happy with Prosecco & canopeas...
Candid shots...
Time for candid shots at their drinks reception. Such an awesome venue! Lots of character.
Making the most of my time...
As Kristin & Anthony had their speeches before their wedding breakfast, I still had time to capture some images of the speeches before it was time for me to take my leave...
Is my Bespoke Package for you?
Kristin & Anthony ended up with a beautiful collection of images from their wedding day - even though I was only with them for 4 hours! If you are having a smaller wedding or if you simply want just a few hours of photography to capture 'the main parts' of your day, my Bespoke Package could be for you...
Thank you...
Thank you to Kristin & Anthony for booking me and to their guests for making me feel very welcome!
