On the last Saturday in May I was in Staffordshire to be The Barns Hotel wedding photographer for Anna & Matt’s wedding in Cannock.
Firstly though it was a trip to Codsall to Anna’s parents home to catch up with the girls getting ready for the big day ahead. Anna was happily taking in her stride & it was great to see everybody in high spirits & enjoying the morning even though the chickens were a bit of a distraction for the youngest member of the bridal party 🙂
With time marching on I was soon in the car & heading through the lanes to St Mary the Virgin & St Chad church in Brewood to meet up with Matt & the guys who, it is safe to say, were thoroughly enjoying themselves & certainly not taking life too seriously!!
The very punctual arrival of a beautiful Rolls Royce saw everybody ushered into the church for Anna’s arrival at her family church. A lovely, personal ceremony followed made even more personal with Anna having so many connections to the church. Bright sunshine greeted us as we headed out into the churchyard for the first photos of the newly married couple.
As always with a Barns Hotel wedding we diverted to a local wood to get some shots of Anna & Matt as, lovely as the Barns is, it doesn’t really have any grounds to speak of. Not a problem though as the woods gave a lovely backdrop to Anna & Matt’s photos.
Soon we rejoined the guests & after family photos we headed into the lovely dining room for the Wedding Breakfast & really great Speeches that filled the room with laughter!
A warm spring evening tempted people outdoors for a while before we headed back in for Anna & Matt’s first dance.
