It had been a little while since I had shot a wedding at the lovely The Lake at Barston and I was really looking forward to heading back there to be Stephanie and Paul’s wedding photographer.
The day started with me meeting up with Stephanie at her parents house for her prep. I was greeted by a very busy household making sure Stephanie was well looked after and enjoying her final preparations for the big day. Stephanie and her Dad travelled in a beautiful vintage Rolls Royce over to The Lake at Barston where Paul, his Best Women Adele and guests had gathered for the ceremony. The Lake at Barston, just outside Hampton in Arden in the West Midlands offers a wonderful countryside wedding venue. It is set within West Midlands Golf Club with beautiful views of the golf course and fishing lakes.
The ceremony was held in the lovely light & airy restaurant looking over the lake and golf course. It certainly was a great setting for Stephanie, Paul and the guests to enjoy the ceremony. After the ceremony it was very windy, to put it mildly, but a sheltered area just outside the Restaurant was a great spot for Stephanie and Paul to have their confetti shot taken.
There had been a huge downpour of rain overnight so we thought it would be safer for Stephanie and her wedding dress to keep to the paths in the grounds to capture Stephanie and Paul’s portrait shots 😉
Meanwhile, the staff had been busy setting up the restaurant . Everyone was happy to retreat inside from the windy weather and enjoy the wedding breakfast and speeches.
The evening entertainment started with Stephanie joining the girls on the dance floor before Stephanie then took to the floor once more with Paul for their first dance.
