Birmingham Botanical Gardens Wedding Photographer | Samantha & Jon

On Saturday March 16th 2013 I was at one of my favourite Birmingham Wedding Venues, Birmingham Botanical Gardens, to be Samantha & Jon’s wedding photographer. The morning started with Bridal Prep & it was quite a houseful with Sam, her mum & bridesmaids all enjoying the morning preparations. A quick dash through the Birmingham suburbs & it was time to meet up with Jon & the guys. Before we knew it the time for the ceremony arrived & a packed room thoroughly enjoyed Sam & Jon’s ceremony. We quickly got out for group photos because big black clouds were looming very large on the horizon & sure enough as we headed into the gardens for Sam & Jon’s portraits the heavens opened. Thankfully the covered terrace of the coffee shop came to our rescue & we got some shots off while sheltering from what was a torrential downpour. With the storm passing we headed into the gardens to get some shots with the stunning glasshouses as the backdrop & then it was time to eat!

With the wedding breakfast & speeches completed it was soon time for the evening celebrations for me & it was great to photograph Sam & Jon really enjoying their first dance.
