Nottinghamshire, Awesome, Pub & London Bus Wedding

Nottinghamshire awesome pub london bus wedding photographer

We are both so grateful that we trawled the depths of the world wide web to find you! You’ve been absolutely wonderful through out and for camera shy awkward people you made us feel at ease! Your images are beautiful and you’ve made looking back on those memories even more special with the passion and love you show in your work. Richard and I are forever grateful of your talent. Thanks for being you!

This intimate, creative, family Wedding is a pretty special one, it totally sums up how to make a Wedding celebration personal to yourselves. Every inch was curated & designed by Rich & Becky. It was an honour to be the one to record their day.

On a misty May morning I travelled to Becky’s Mum’s house in Bunny, Nottinghamshire. The house was calm, quiet & full of flowers. I popped to the Rancliffe Arms to catch up with Rich & Tom (& family) then back to Becky’s Mums for getting into the dress & Rich’s Mum & Becky’s Dad’s reactions.

I first met Becky & Rich outside Café Nero in West Bridgford. The were so super keen & exited about my style of photography & they mentioned they had hired a big red London bus to ferry everyone from the church to the pub. (I may have done a little dance when they went on to book me). They chose to have a pre wedding shoot at Batman’s House it was clear to see that they were made for each other. View a few shots from their shoot are here, they are so cute together. They also displayed a photo from the shoot on each table on a beautiful mini canvas & easel – love it! All the wonderful florals were supplied by the fab Flowers by Susan

During the ceremony at St. Mary’s Church, Bunny, (wow all the light) the vicar asked me to stay at the back & keep the photos to a minimum. The emotion in those shots still shows through & the framing of the beautiful church wouldn’t have been the same if I had been able to position myself at the front. Becky walked down the aisle to a friend playing the piano (the same friend also sang & played guitar for their first dance). All the feels.

Confetti was specially packaged inside each order of service, designed & made by Rich. (So many lovely design details at this Wedding, the signage, the table details all beautifully printed & linked together with a subtle twitter theme)… We grabbed a big group shot of everyone before boarding the super cool London bus transporting the guests to The Embankment at Trent Bridge now a Castle Rock Brewery pub. Originally Boots first ever pharmacy, then Boots sticky carpet social club….. (sad times)… it is now a pretty cool pub & events venue. Lovely old details still remain & the function room itself looked stunning.
Family stayed on the bus for a ride up to The Victoria Embankment for the all important group shots. Rich nailed his groomsmen shots whilst Amelia picked daisies to give to her Mummy.
After a slap up meal, the speeches were all incredibly emotional. Best Man Tom’s speech was batman themed, the finalé of which was to present a signed photo of Val Kilmer (the only batman actor to respond to his request).
The rain stayed away & everyone made their way outside for a breather & a shot or two.. before the cake cutting & a lovely acoustic first dance by Andy Whittle. Then the Mack Bro’s ensured the dance floor was full of epic moves all night.

Becky & Rich thank you for having me it was an absolute pleasure to share your perfect & super cool, very beautifully designed day! I know you will keep in touch x
