Well after clearing my back log of work I'm back to the most enjoyable thing, Shooting more pictures. I've had some great venues this year so far. Springhill Barns Pershore for Jamie and Emma's wedding was an absolute delight. The venue itself is over acres of established gardens and a lake. With a manor house tying the out buildings together and then the niche little areas making perfect locations to use for couples, pictures don't do it justice. What makes this a special place to work at is that they only take limited bookings every year. This translates into being booked up till 2020. So if you are planning your wedding and want it here then get booking because the chances are you will have a prolonged engagement. The farm is based at the rear of the manor house and has plenty of scope for photo opportunities . With rustic barns and sheds and numerous of dilapidated doors you can't go wrong. At the side of the main house is a lengthy greenhouse and a tennis court which sprawls out towards the lake. The garden goes from formed recesses lovingly tended to , to wild flowers and small nature reserves dotted around.
Taking Emma and Jamie around the lake was an absolute breeze, we had perfect sun diffused by thankful clouds and the gentle lapping of the lake. The lake has bucketfuls of reeds and grasses blending into the banks which gives a great contrast to the images I took. After a slow walk round we made our way back to the house and used the gardens to use as some foreground interest and sat Emma just beyond this. The sun gleamed over the tops of the conifers and gave a beautiful sun flare to the images. From here we went to the tennis courts which is where the net had seen better days, (i love anything old school though) but this just added to the feel of the images. This was such a compliment to Emma's dress and Jamie's attire. Both looked so relaxed and comfortable , and effortlessly held each other and made the time seamless.
I really had such a great day here, and with Emma and Jamie's family and friends made me feel welcome and most of all smiled when the camera caught them. This is why I feel so grateful for any booking I take for anybody's Wedding, its one of the most special days you will ever have in your lifetime. To be booked to capture a beautiful day and a couple which outwardly show their love for each other is a blessing.
