Hi everyone

We are in Kent this June! So wherever your Wedding is taking place - please get in touch and find out what we can do to make your Wedding Day a Dream Day. Hope to hear from you soon. Warm regards.

THIS WEEK AT ROWTON CASTLE

2010-01-11T13:06:00.002Z

Hi Everyone

The photo above is my view from my office here at home! Martin went out last Thursday and took the photos below! Winter wonderland!

We are at Rowton Castle later this week and I wonder if it will be the first snowy Wedding we have had there. It is a very romantic venue and although snow causes problems for travel and walking around - I think Rowton Castle will look even more romantic and I know that it will be very warm and cozy inside with the fires! So looking forward to it and even Georgina and John have said they would like a dusting of snow!

I know that it might sound like I am just saying this - the fact is that we have only four Saturdays left this June/July/August and I think we will be fully booked within a week or so for those months - which I have to say is totally fantastic!

If you are planning your 2011 Wedding - please just get in touch for our details - we will keep the pricing for anyone who books us before Christmas this year. Oh dear did I just mention Christmas again! It is a long way off though!

So a belated Happy New Year to you all. I hope to hear from you if you are planning your Wedding - I would love to chat to you about your plans!

Warm regards. Julia

Sad news about Shrewsbury today.

2010-01-03T13:39:00.004Z

Hi Everyone

I was catching up on my emailing and about to blog for the first time this year - then I heard about the news of an explosion in Shrewsbury next to the Shrewsbury Hotel and very sad news that people have been hurt.

I think I will postpone my New Year blog until tomorrow.

Warm regards. Julia

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

COLOURFUL WEDDING AT WALCOT HALL

2009-11-17T18:28:00.012Z

Hi Everyone

Well I don't know how I did this but at the beginning of September I forgot to blog about Pippa and Keith's Wedding at Walcot Hall! I know we were busy and I was also planning to send some of the photographs to the Florist so I think it got put on to another 'to do' list!

Anyway I shall right the wrong and blog about that August day now! The Florist was Gail at Astounding Surroundings. I was really knocked out by the fabulous colours of this Wedding - they were just beautiful.

Pippa and Keith had their much loved VW Campervan there at Walcot Hall - which was also a star of the day. I don't think they will mind me saying that they had no entirely decided that they would have a Wedding Photographer - when I explained what we were all about on the 'phone and they came to see us - they changed their minds! They also had the Fun Wall in the evening which went down very well indeed.

We had a really fantastic day with Pippa and Keith and their guests and as always enjoyed the wonderful grounds at Walcot Hall.

I have put loads of their flower photographs in this blog - again just because I love the colours!

So if you are considering Walcot Hall near Lydbury North in South Shropshire as your Ceremony and/or Reception venue - we know it well and always have a great time there!

Warm regards. Julia

AUTUMN 2009 WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY NEWSLETTER

2009-11-10T15:02:00.014Z

Hi Everyone [the photograph above was taken in the beautiful grounds of Walcot Hall, Shropshire]

I wanted to just take stock today in my blog of this year’s Weddings and look forward to next year’s - [if you have a little time - look back at my previous blogs - just keep scrolling down they do appear - or go to the previous posts and the archived blogs].

We had a fabulous summer and in fact many more sunny days than we did last year. We’ve been at Rowton Castle Shrewsbury, The Albright Hussey Manor Shrewsbury, Walcot Hall Shropshire, Delbury Hall Shropshire, Mellington Hall Church Stoke, Ludlow Castle Shropshire, Albrighton Hall Shrewsbury, Madeley Court Hotel Telford, Shrewsbury Castle and Lake Vyrnwy Hotel and we’ve still to be at Haughton Hall Shifnal and again at Rowton Castle this year and The Hussey. We had eight Marquee Weddings which we love! We also got over to Solihull twice and the ProStar Stadium in Shrewsbury.

We have booked Weddings in 2010 for all the above venues and a few new ones too including Peterstone Court in Brecon. We shall go there for a site meeting with the London couple nearer to the Wedding. Also Soulton Hall near Wem will be a first. We are in Kent next June for a couple who live in Bahrain and we are so looking forward to that one for Emma and Peter. I know that Emma checks out my blogs - I also know she is enjoying the planning very much. They booked us back in January 2009 for their June 2010 Wedding!

Wherever your Wedding may be taking place – please get in touch for some more information from us including a PDF of pricing which I can send with an email. As we live about 8 minutes from Rowton Castle Shrewsbury we are finding that we are there more and more – we love it there. We often photograph weekday Weddings at Rowton Castle Shrewsbury and can offer a full day coverage or a smaller coverage up to the Wedding Breakfast on weekdays. Get in touch for details.

In the past we have also been at Hawkstone Park Hotel Shrewsbury, Park House Shifnal and Hadley Park House Telford, Davenport House Bridgnorth, Overton Grange Ludlow, The Mill Hotel near Bridgnorth, Goldstone Hall Market Drayton, Adcote School near Shrewsbury and Weston Park Shropshire and hope to be there again in the future.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Warm regards. Julia

DIGITAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

2009-10-31T14:54:00.002Z

An excerpt from Beth's email to me after we had had a Review Meeting to finalise their Wedding Album:
"We just wanted to thank you for the lovely hours you spent with us looking at the design of the album. It was so exciting to get a glimpse of what it will look like and we can't wait to see the finished thing. It made it so personal to design the front cover and edit the inside pages too with you - it's something else about the wedding that we'll always be able to remember and cherish. Thank you for putting up with our experimenting!"

Hi Everyone

We are at Rowton Castle for the Wedding tomorrow and I have been doing some work on our website today which should go live in a day or so. There will be photographs to go with the names of some of our lovely couples on the About Us page!

I thought I would just mention three points about our service:

1. As professional digital photographers we always creatively optimise each image with the lastest software using our own techniques. All our photographs are edited to a high finish. Always check that your Wedding Photographer includes this important service.

2. There is unlimited shooting on a Wedding Day. There is no limit set to the number of images taken on the day. They can all be available on a high resolution print-ready DVD.

3. We use beautiful Wedding Albums - we have the best partners in the world - Queensberry. Time is spent on creative album design in house by Martin and we always invite you to a Review Meeting to approve your Wedding Album - we don't have it put into production until you are 100% happy with it.

You will see that the photograph above of Beth and Luke at Delbury Hall has been edited from the original below. Beth and Luke loved this one of them wandering around the lake and Martin removed the drainage apparatus - this is now one of their favourite photographs!

We have been very busy with enquiries in the last fortnight - especially for next Autumn - please get in touch for some more information or a chat on the phone about your Big Day!

Warm regards. Julia

Lake Vyrnwy Wedding

2009-10-09T17:03:00.008Z

Hi Everyone

We spent a wonderful afternoon with Mirinda and Mark and their families a few weeks ago on a Thursday at Lake Vyrnwy Hotel about 30 minutes from us. I have just put a few here from the few hundred we got for them.

Martin and I love Lake Vyrnwy and the sky there changes from minute to minute. We had a little rain and then it became very sunny and warm! The first photograph here and the last one of my blog were taken 2 minutes apart! Mirinda and Mark had their lovely children there with them - all of them so much fun!

We went down to the Lake edge's with Mirinda and Mark in our 4x4 and the videographer came too [in his car!]. He arranged Mirinda and Mark with their children to walk across the grass and we were happy to get stills! We then took the happy Bride and Groom for a walk on the 'beach'.

We love Lake Vyrnwy and its Hotel and are always happy to photograph Weddings there.

This is a Friday blog so will wish you all a happy weekend. :-)

Warm regards. Julia

MARVELLOUS AT MELLINGTON HALL

2009-09-26T10:03:00.013Z

Hi Everyone

What a fabulous day we had with Nicola and Ben a few weeks ago! It was a quintessential summer's day and in fact we have had - on the whole - very good weather this year! Nic and Ben got married in the most idyllic country Church near Church Stretton and on the way to Mellington Hall we stopped off and got a few photographs with the beautiful countryside as a back drop.

Mellington Hall near Church Stoke is a gorgeous Wedding Venue in the Welsh Marches. It is only about 25 mins from us [and about 25 miles from Shrewsbury via Pontesbury] and we have photographed a few Weddings there now and love being there! Its long drive is very impressive and the Hall stands in 280 acres of landscaped gardens. It is a very friendly place and run to a very high standard with very professional and attentive staff.

I have chosen about two dozen photographs from the 800 we took that day which Nic and Ben have on their print-ready DVD! I think I can understand how our couples say that it is tricky to get the choice down to 100 or so for their Wedding Albums! I hope that my choice just gives a flavour of the day - the story.

Warm regards. Julia

WEEKDAY WEDDING AT ROWTON CASTLE

2009-09-11T11:13:00.009Z

Hi Everyone

Well I am on a bit of a roll this week - second blog! Check out yesterday's blog about our Shrewsbury Castle Wedding!

We had a lovely afternoon with Anita and Julian at Rowton Castle about three weeks ago for their weekday Wedding. I was with Anita whilst she got ready and Martin was with the Guys and got loads of casual ones with them before they got into their suits and then some relaxed ones when they were suited and booted!

Anita and Julian's adorable little Daughter Jasmine took it all in her stride! She had the cutest little Bridemaid dress - see below! Anita's shoes were very sparkly!

Anita and Julian had just want they wanted at Rowton Castle [10 minutes from us].

Have a look at an Album Presentation on our website of a Rowton Castle Reception.

We were with Anita and Julian to get a few hundred photographs of their fabulous day! Do get in touch with us and I will email you our PDF of Pricing - we have full day coverage and small coverage too - we can suit all requirements!

Our Fun Wall is very successful at Rowton Castle in the Georgian Room - have a look at a video that Andy at Cam 3 created for us of the Fun Wall at Rowton Castle! Click here.

I do mention this every blog - Martin does contemporary effects on some photographs but always leaves the original on the print-ready DVD! Any photograph can be turned black and white - and I know that our couples are very keen on the black and whites!

Warm regards. Julia

SUNNY AT SHREWSBURY CASTLE AND ATTINGHAM PARK

2009-09-10T10:42:00.004Z

Hi Everyone

A month ago we had a lovely day with Sarah and Kristien. Their Ceremony was at Shrewsbury Castle and after at the Pro Star Stadium. Sarah got ready at The Prince Rupert Hotel and I was with her whilst she and her Bridesmaids got ready. Before arriving at the Pro Star Stadium we drove with just Sarah and Kristien to Attingham Park and got some fab photos there.

Sarah had the most lovely purple shoes and gorgeous dress! We did the Fun Wall for them in the evening and they danced the night away!

I will be blogging about two more Weddings tomorrow!

Just to say that when Martin has done an effect on a photograph - our Brides and Grooms get the original on the print-ready DVD as well! I have chosen quite a lot of contemporary effects examples below - because I think that they look so fab!

Warm regards. Julia

LOVELY WELSH MARQUEE WEDDING

2009-08-25T16:14:00.006Z

Hi Everyone

Well with the four Weddings completed last week I have a bit of time to catch up on our Weddings this month. Cerys and Richard were married on 1 August at a Church near Welshpool and had planned a New York/Tiffany themed Marquee Reception which was stunning. Jo at Elegant Finishing Touches supplied and fitted the chair covers and arranged the Feather Table decorations. I have to say that how Jo ties such beautiful bows over and over again I have no idea!

I have posted some photographs from Cerys and Richard's Wedding and want to flag up that all the contemporary effects which Martin creates for the print-ready DVD are done with all our DVDs - Martin does always leave the original too!

Cerys was accompanied into the Church by her Brother - Wyn - and very proud he looked too.

By arrangement with the owners of Glansevern Hall and Cerys and Richard we spent a little time at the Gardens on the way to the Reception.

Well - a short blog today as I shall be catching up with all this month's Weddings this and next week.

Get in touch if you would like some idea of our packages.

Warm regards. Julia

WEDDINGS IN AND OUT OF SHROPSHIRE!

2009-08-21T13:59:00.004Z

Hi Everyone

We have had four Weddings in this week [Solihull/Rowton/Lake Vyrnwy & Mellington Hall]. Our Church/Marquee Wedding is in South Shropshire tomorrow with a marquee at Mellington Hall. I will blog next week about our recent Weddings which have all been fabulous. We have been in Evesham at Wood Norton Hall and Solihull at the Forest of Arden and also our our local venue Rowton Castle and Shrewsbury Castle and another venues near us Lake Vyrnwy Hotel and Delbury Hall. So in and out of Shropshire!

Our last Wedding this month will be at Walcot Hall - another one of our favourites.

I just want to give a shout to some suppliers and services we have worked with and would happily recommend. A Touch of Class Wedding Cars - Terry Gill DJ - Ludlow Catering - Tipples Bar - Cam3 Video and PVP Video.

In the last week I have had to say we are already booked to Brides for 19 September 2009, 29 May 2010 and 3 July 2010 and as about 50% of our 2010 Summer Saturdays are booked already - I would say just get in touch with me if you would like some pricing information and a chat on the phone about your thoughts for your Wedding Day. You can not be too early.

So I am off to type up the Photography List for tomorrow and I will be back next week with some photographs from all our recent Weddings.

Have a great weekend - just fill in the form on our contact page to get in touch.

ROMANCE AND FUN AT ROWTON CASTLE

2009-07-31T14:31:00.004Z

Hi Everyone
We are very local for our Wedding tomorrow and we are doing the Fun Wall with a New York theme as the Bride and Groom got engaged in New York and they have organised a box of props for the Fun Wall - really looking forward to that. We saw the marquee last night as we popped in to see how it was all going. It all looked fab and Jo from Elegant Finishing Touches was putting the chair covers on and styling the marquee.

We had a fabulous day at Rowton Castle two weeks ago and I thought I would post a few of Jo and Adam's photographs - mostly to tell you about the print-ready DVD which is always available to the Bride and Groom. As we shoot digitally - all photographs are in colour - and they are all in colour on the DVD. However, Martin spends a few hours turning some of them black and white and also sepia - always leaving the original on the DVD too. So the first one here is in colour and the next one was in colour on the DVD and then turned B&W and all the others were on the DVD in colour too. We will always turn any photograph B&W on request too for the Album or in fact the DVD. We go that little bit further to make the most of the resource of photographs we capture on your Wedding Day. We are 10 minutes from Rowton Castle and love photographing Weddings there - all year round!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend - it is supposed to be quite sunny!

Warm regards. Julia

Have a look at my other blogs too if you have time!

P.S. 5 August 2009 - I am adding this link to a small video of Jo and Adam's Fun Wall at Rowton Castle - click here and it will lead you to Vimeo - switch HD off as it streams better then! It is quite typical of the fun everyone has with the Fun Wall - guess it does what is says on the tin!

This was very kindly filmed by Andy at Cam3Weddings we all had a great day on 17 July 2009! Jo and Adam are just back from honeymoon and we have posted their print-ready DVD to them today!

ROMANCE IN BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS AT DELBURY HALL

2009-07-14T15:46:00.024Z

Hi Everyone

I am trying to catch up on our lovely Weddings and Beth and Luke - who got married on 20 June 2009 - had their print-ready DVD last week so I thought I would post some of their very romantic photographs. They had a Church Wedding in South Shropshire and then after at Delbury Hall, Diddlebury, near Craven Arms, Shropshire. A great favourite of ours!

They did in fact book us on 26 September 2007. I think they wanted it ticked off their list of 'things to do'!

I was with Beth whilst she got ready at home and Martin was with the Guys. We had a fabulous day with them and did not even have to dodge the showers - it just rained whilst they had their Wedding Breakfast. At Delbury Hall there are the most wonderful grounds to enjoy and we always make the best of them. We walked around the lake with Beth and Luke and they really enjoyed 15 minutes just walking hand in hand and having a private chat!

Martin turned this photograph above sepia - it is in full colour below - and Martin always does a few contemporary effects on some of the photographs for the DVD - but always leaves the original!

Beth and Luke had planned their Wedding with great attention to detail and I loved the lavender!

The Coach House at Delbury Hall is a great venue for not only your Wedding Reception but also your Wedding Civil Ceremony - if that is what you are planning!

I just wanted to share a few of Beth's words with you - email received when they got back from Honeymoon:

"We just wanted to send a quick email to thank you and Martin so much for helping to make our Wedding Day such a wonderful, perfect and relaxed day. Thank you for your priceless support, right from our first meeting two years ago to the pre-wedding meeting and the day itself. It really was like having some extra friends at our side to lean on."

Email received yesterday:

"Thank you so, so, so much for the gorgeous photographs which we have spent several happy hours looking at over the weekend. You have captured every moment of our day and it's brought all the wonderful memories flooding back - we are so thrilled with them."

We've such a busy Summer and Autumn/Winter ahead - please get in touch if you would like to chat about your Wedding Plans for 2010 and beyond and I can send our pricing by email immediately.

By-the-way - the caterers were Sue and Chris Hinks and their highly professional service and gorgeous tasting food is worth checking out.

Warm regards. Julia

WONDERFUL WEDDING ON A RAINY DAY!

2009-07-07T10:06:00.014Z

Hi Everyone

I have blogged about this fabulous Wedding a little more below these photos! The couple's gorgeous little Daughter was one of the Bridesmaids - so beautiful! The Bride and Groom - Toni and Jon - were very generous hosts and they totally spoiled their guests. The Champagne flowed, the flowers were sumptuous, the delicious food in abundance and the totally naughty puddings were such a temptation - see photo below.

So yes the heatwave seems to be over for now - back with some rain. I just wanted to blog about a Wedding we photographed on 6 June. Yes it rained. Weather is not personal. The detailed planning of the Wedding by the couple - Toni and Jon - shone through. I was so impressed by the attention to every detail and I know that the lovely Toni had a very big part in the planning. We were at St Giles in Shrewsbury and then after at Stokes Barns near Much Wenlock, Shropshire. The Barns are a great venue to have a personal, bespoke Wedding - the marquee is placed a long way from the farmhouse and loads of bunkhouse accommodation is available and lots of surrounding land.

Toni and Jon put on a very entertaining evening for everyone with specially brought in acts and also a great band - Acid Jam - and the Bride even sang with the Band - she had kept her fantastic voice a secret from us and perhaps a few other people! We put up the Fun Wall for the evening too and that was very much enjoyed by everyone and I thought I would just put the last photograph on of a lovely lady who seemed to defy the law of gravity! A great time was had by all!

Get in touch if you are planning your Wedding - we have a few dates left this Autumn and the main dates for next Summer are being booked. I was surprised to see that enquiries were fewer whist Wimbledon was on and now I have a dozen or more just come in! Love it!

Warm regards. Julia

ROMANCE AND MAGIC AT THE ALBRIGHT HUSSEY MANOR, SHREWSBURY

2009-06-22T13:46:00.011Z

Hi Everyone

Well I have slipped a little on the posting of photographs from our Weddings - better late than never though! We had the most fabulous day with Victoria and Duncan at The Albright Hussey Manor in Shrewsbury on 5 June. The Ceremony was held on the lawn and it looked fantastic - a very unique and magical setting. We do love it at The Hussey! In fact, Martin's Daughter's Wedding in June 2006 was the first Ceremony outside and it never fails to be the most romantic Wedding setting.

I have only put a few photographs here from the hundreds on the DVD - we expect to hear that Victoria and Duncan are back from their honeymoon and we can then get the DVD to them. I have included a photograph of the Imperial Suite as well as I thought it looked beautiful - as it always does.

Duncan and the Guys arrived in a stretched Hummer which I know they enjoyed!

We have already booked half a dozen Weddings at The Hussey for 2010 and hope that that figure increases as we love the beauty of the venue and the professionalism of the management and staff and always feel at home there. We know that couples and their guests have the best of days there.

One special feature - which we try and include in our photographic list - is the lane at the back of the Hotel - weather permitting. If you have a look at our Album Presentation on our website [also on The Hussey's Website - Weddings and then View Album] and the first layout of our e-Brochure you will see how much fun it is to get round there which we always try and do.

Please get in touch if you have fixed your date - I am always - well almost always here! We already know many wonderful venues - if your venue is new to us - we always have a site/briefing meeting with you there pre-Wedding.

Warm regards. Julia

We always accomplish an online gallery for all our couples - password protected - however we ask them to choose about 200 photographs from the some times 800 or so photographs we get on the day - as we cannot host so many and we want them to make their own choice anyway for online viewing.

I have actually networked with Martin's computer today and picked these photographs from his folders - he is just finishing the post-editing of my hundreds of photographs at the moment - as all digital photographers should do really - just to check them! He is very skilled in Adobe Photoshop and if he does a contemporary effect on a photograph he will always leave the original on the DVD - I will blog in the next couple of days with some of the romantic ones which Martin and I both took! There are some stunners!

SHREWSBURY CATHEDRAL AND A BIT OF A WALKABOUT!

2009-06-12T13:17:00.008Z

Hi Everyone

Well two Weddings last weekend - Friday at The Albright Hussey Manor, Shrewsbury and Saturday at St Giles' Church on Wenlock Road, Shrewsbury and then after at Stokes Barns, Much Wenlock with a big marquee Wedding. I will blog with photos next week.

The photographs below are from 30 May at Shrewsbury Cathedral [the Reception was at Madeley Court, Telford]. At the site/briefing meeting before the Wedding we all hatched a plan to stop at the oxbow river bend on the River Severn on the way to the hotel. Glorious weather and the lovely Anna and Rob had a little walkabout in the summer sun! Their idea was that all the guests would be at the Hotel when they arrived and it all went to plan beautifully.

We accomplished the Fun Wall for them in the evening and it was enjoyed by all!

We often plan with our couples to make the very most of the day by stopping off somewhere on the way to the Reception. Most agree it is lovely to arrive when all the guests are there. We often stop in the countryside and the couple bring a bottle of bubbly to have whilst they have a bit of chill. We love couples to bring their ideas to the table. We don't say 'this is what we do - this is what you will have' - we say 'what do you want to do?'

As we did with Charlotte and Alex the week before [last blog] we stopped at a golf course with the permission of the owners [this was Charlotte's Mum's idea] to get some photographs before going on to Fishmore Hall, Ludlow. Last year Martin found himself twice in a helicopter - as that was the couple's transport to the Reception. Every day is different and that is what we love.

When you are considering and short listing your Wedding Photographers just get in touch with me and I will send you our pricing by email for your immediate information gathering and I can also pop the folder in the post to you and later we can arrange a meeting [or chat on the phone] about your Big Day.

ANNA AND ROB AT SHREWSBURY CATHEDRAL - photos accomplished from the back - not intrusive at all - we get Church Wedding photographs like this every time.

LUDLOW CASTLE & FISHMORE HALL

2009-06-04T12:32:00.007Z

Hi Everyone

Just thought I would put on a few photographs from the hundreds we got on 23 May for the lovely Charlotte and Alex who are due back from honeymoon this weekend. I was with Charlotte whilst she was getting ready at her parents' house - so we have dozens of getting ready photos. Her Bridesmaids were there too and I have many photographs of her being laced into her fabulous Wedding Dress. I thought I would just choose a few fun photos from the hundreds [800+] that we have.

Ludlow Castle Ceremony Room looked amazing with the most beautiful flowers - the colours were so vivid - plums, pinks and purples. Everyone had bubbly and canapes on the lawn for an hour or so after the Ceremony and then the Reception was at Fishmore Hall. On the way to the Reception Charlotte had asked [at our site/briefing meeting a few weeks ago] if we could stop at a place to get a few extra candid photos - so we did and when we arrived at Fishmore everyone was there and the confetti was thrown as they ascended the steps!

We accomplished the Fun Wall here too - there is a room just off the Reception area at Fishmore to the left and it was perfect to set up the studio. It was enjoyed by all - as it always is!

We were at Shrewsbury Cathedral on Town Walls last Saturday and after at Madeley Court, Telford - so I will post some photographs from that day next week.

We have a Wedding at The Albright Hussey, Shrewsbury tomorrow and a Church and Marquee Wedding near Shrewsbury on Saturday. It's all go!

Hope to hear from you if you are planning your Wedding - it is never too early to contact us! A number of the main summer Saturdays have been booked already for 2010!

Warm regards. Julia

WEDDING FAYRE AT MILLERS OF NETLEY - MARQUEE VENUE IN SHROPSHIRE

2009-05-21T10:53:00.005Z

Hi Everyone

Are you shortlisting venues for your Wedding Reception? Have a look at Millers of Netley near Shrewsbury - we were there last Sunday at their first Wedding Fayre.

We had a really lovely time at the Wedding Fayre at Millers of Netley last Sunday. There's a lot of interest in this brand new exclusive marquee venue. It's setting is beautiful in the countryside just outside Shrewsbury.

Here are a few of the fabulous suppliers who were there:

Cakes - http://www.cakecreationsonline.co.uk/ - 01885 410 433 - Charlotte Bateman

Jewellery and favours and balloons [and lots more] - Princessesdreams09@yahoo.com - 07972311528 - Sarah Milner

Hats - allisonray@btinternet.com - 07970 632850 - Allison Ray

As Wedding Photographers we love this venue - with its possibilities for photographs - it is a really lovely setting. The 'personal aspect' of a marquee Wedding Reception cannot be overlooked. You can decorate it to your own specifications and feel that it is 'all yours'.

Kelly Miller at Millers of Netley - I know - would be delighted to show you around and give you all the information you need regarding this private and exclusive [and I might say unique] venue. One important fact is that it can cater for up to 250 - venues with that capacity are rare.

Warm regards. Julia

GLORIOUS AT LAKE VYRNWY

2009-05-11T11:14:00.007Z

Hi Everyone

We had a wonderful Wedding at Lake Vyrnwy Hotel on Saturday. A little rain early on and then it was dry and we were able to get down onto the Lake edge - which we always like to try and do at Lake Vyrnwy. Alison and Steve told us that they had the best day ever! They have gone off on honeymoon now to Hawaii and we will have their print-ready DVD ready for them on their return.

Please get in touch any time and I hope you have had a look at our eBrochure on our new website.

HAVE A LOOK AT MY LAST POST - Wedding Fayre at Millers of Netley http://www.millersofnetley.co.uk/ on Sunday 17 May 2009 from 10 a.m. -4 p.m.

FABULOUS NEW MARQUEE VENUE

2009-04-29T13:39:00.007Z

Hi Everyone

WEDDING FAYRE - SUNDAY 17 MAY 2009 - MILLERS OF NETLEY - 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

We are very pleased to say that we will be exhibiting - by invitation - at the Wedding Fayre at Millers of Netley in May. We helped at their launch event in March which was a Charity Ball for the Help the Heroes Charity.

The one big advantage which this venue has is that it can cater for up top 250 guests for the Wedding Reception.

The setting for this brand new venue is stunning. Set in the beautiful countryside near Shrewsbury - the views are amazing and it is a rare thing to find such surroundings for a wedding venue. The lakes on the property are fabulous for photographic opportunities and I believe that there is a log cabin on one lake which is available for the newly married couple's first night - how romantic!

If you are in the stages of finding and booking your reception venue - make a date in your diary to come to the Wedding Fayre on 17 May 2009 at Millers of Netley.

We are offering any couples having their reception at Netley a special addition to their package with us - come and talk to us about it!

Warm regards. Julia
