Once again I was back in the heart of Birmingham city centre to be Catherine & Emmet’s wedding photographer at the stunning Hotel Du Vin. This hotel converted from the former Birmingham eye hospital really is a great venue for a city centre wedding with its mixture of original features & modern updates blending together really well.
I met up with Catherine & the girl’s in the Penfold suite & everything was running smoothly & calmly with only a shower of rain causing a little disquiet. Nipping downstairs I caught Emmet’s stylish arrival in a lovely old Rolls Royce although the pesky rain did see us dashing for cover.
With ceremony time approaching we headed into the Krug suite to await Catherine’s arrival. The ceremony was conducted in high spirits with plenty of laughter, admittedly mainly aimed at Emmet who proved to be very competent at fluffing his lines 🙂
Another day of very leisurely timings meant that the drinks reception could be enjoyed in the courtyard before family photos & a deluge of confetti!
A quick stroll out into the roads surrounding the hotel gave us some photo opportunities before heading in for the movies themed wedding breakfast complete with suitable props to entertain everybody followed by speeches including the most shy, retiring bestman ever. Not!
with the evening celebrations in the Pub Du Vin fast approaching we headed downstairs to be treated to a guest appearance by non other than Tony Blair!!
First dance followed & how the light fittings & wall units survived will remain a mystery for all time 🙂
A last shot in the amazing wine cellar & it was time to bid farewell to Catherine & Emmet.
