⚡⚡ Kira & Ben ⚡⚡ ⚡⚡
What a wedding day this was!
It was an early start for Kira & Ben at Holiday Inn Bromsgrove, and as they had booked my full day package, I got to be there from the very beginning, starting with morning prep with Kira and her bridesmaids.
It was a busy morning, with plenty happening around Kira, but she was absolutely amazing throughout. Calm, happy and completely surrounded by the most wonderfully warm and welcoming friends and family. I was made to feel part of the gang from the moment I arrived, which always makes such a difference.
And then there was the dress! Kira looked incredible. It suited her perfectly, and that VEIL! It was a proper statement veil and ridiculously long. Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE a long veil!
The ceremony went beautifully, and although the weather was a little damp, it certainly didn't dampen the celebrations. Guests headed outside for the confetti, before we moved on to the group photographs, with everyone making the most of the welcome drinks and canapés along the way.
Ben was an absolute star during the group shots. He was keen to help organise everyone and get the right people together, which definitely made my job a whole lot easier! Teamwork makes the group-photo dream work!
We decided to save Kira & Ben's couple photographs until after their wedding breakfast and speeches, and I think it worked perfectly. Once the formalities were done, we could sneak away together for some calm, relaxed time with just the two of them.
And honestly, these two...
There was such a lovely connection between them. The kind where you don't need to manufacture anything or give them a hundred instructions. They just naturally fit together. Looking through these photographs, I think it's pretty obvious that Kira & Ben were made for each other.
Then came the evening... and this is where things got a little lively!
In all my years photographing weddings, I don't think I've ever seen a group of guests get onto the dancefloor quite so early. It was 6pm and the dancefloor was already absolutely packed! Even the DJ and I were looking at each other thinking, well... this is happening early!
And, of course, Kira was first up!
After the first dance and a particularly emotional Father-Daughter dance, it was time for me to say my goodbyes and leave this brilliant bunch to carry on the party into the night.
Kira & Ben, thank you so much for trusting me to tell the story of your wedding day from those first moments of morning prep right through to the dancefloor madness. It was an absolute pleasure to be there.
Congratulations, you gorgeous pair!
