Sam and Maddie had chosen the stunning Birmingham Council House for their Birmingham City Centre wedding celebrations. I was so looking forward to being their Wedding Photographer and being part of their big day. I just knew from when we met and at the planning meeting we were going to hit it off 🙂
First stop of the day was bridal prep at Maddie’s parents house. All the preparations were running smoothly with Maddie and the bridal party being very relaxed, happy and on schedule. I soon realised there was a yellow theme for the day. Glorious sunflowers, roses and bridesmaids in lovely lemon dresses complimenting Maddie beautifully. I then just had time to capture Dad’s emotional first glimpse before heading off up the road to meet Sam at St Joseph’s and St Helen’s Catholic Church in Northfield ahead of the ceremony.
Inside the gothic interior of the church adorned with sunflowers a packed church had joined Sam eagerly awaiting Maddie’s arrival in a beautiful vintage car. Sam, Maddie and all the guests enjoyed a really light hearted ceremony conducted by the priest. There were lots of laughs along the way, mainly at Sam’s expense :-).
After the ceremony there was time to capture fun confetti shots and even a shot of Sam with his armada of groomsmen! The wedding party then headed over to the Birmingham Council House for the reception.
The Grade II listed council house is situated in Victoria Square in the city centre. Its architecture is amazing both inside and out. The stunning interiors gave a fantastic backdrop for family photos and Maddie and Sam’s portraits. It was then time for Maddie and Sam to be greeted by their guests into the elegant setting of the banqueting suite for the wedding breakfast and fun packed speeches.
Evening celebrations were soon upon us as Maddie and Sam took to the the dance floor for a truly memorable first dance to an explosion of ticker tape!
