A Forest of Arden Wedding
I was once again at the stunning Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club nestling in the Warwickshire countryside just outside Birmingham to be Catherine & David’s wedding photographer. To say a houseful greeted me on arrival at Catherine & David’s house for Catherine’s prep would be an understatement but everybody was in great spirits & thoroughly enjoying the excitement! With the morning passing in a whirlwind it was soon time to head for the charming St Peters church in the centre of Coleshill to meet up with David & the Guys awaiting Catherine’s arrival. The ever friendly church staff made us all welcome & soon the appearance of a delightful Studebaker heralded Catherine’s arrival, who it has to be said was looking a lot calmer than David 🙂
A lovely church ceremony followed, enjoyed by all after which & with some trepidation we ventured outside for photos. The forecast was dire but happily the rain held off & we got some lovely photos in the Churchyard before heading to the Forest of Arden. Sadly minutes after arriving the heavens opened & so we quickly headed in for the Wedding Breakfast & Speeches.
As evening appoached the rain had changed from a monsoon to merely heavy drizzle & that didn’t stop Catherine & David getting out for a few photos before the evening celebrations kicked off with very lively Irish music to get everybody dancing. After a fun first dance played by the second band of the night the rain had stopped, the sky had cleared & we grabbed one last shot in the late evening light.
