Wedding Festival On The Hill

It isn't often Mrs Angelic gets to play in the sunshine as part of a wedding fair but yesterday she did just that. Donning her Vintage Booth hat she took one of our Vintage Photobooths to East Bridgford Hill to take part in their "Wedding Festival On The Hill". The brainchild of Emma and Amanda (owner and co-ordinator) it involved a couple "renewing their vows" coupled with exhibitors attending as suppliers to that renewal. As a quirky idea it worked really well.

Preparations:

Future brides and grooms attended as guests of the couple renewing their vows generally staying for the majority of the day. The grooms took themselves out to the sun-drenched rear lawns and relaxed with a drink from Boxed Drinks' Horsebox Bar.

They tried their hand at Clay Pigeon Shooting and croquet meanwhile their brides were able to watch the skills of make up artists and hairdressers at work. These skills were provided by Alison and Barbara for hair, Blush Moments for make up whilst Shade BridalDaisy Dresses and Giulia provided beautiful dresses and hats.

The Ceremony:

Guests and exhibitors all congregated to watch the ceremony charmingly conducted by Ali accompanied by ARK Angel and The Nottinghamshire Harpist. The music provided a beautiful addition to the renewal service and all the guests joined in with the spirit of the festival creating a lovely atmosphere worthy of a real celebration.

Festival Entertainment:

Once the ceremony had been completed guests had the opportunity to take part in the entertainment that had been provided as part of the festival. As well as our gorgeous Photobooth they could take a ride in Betty or Bertie around the village, dabble on the blackjack table  or have a boogie. Guests could chat about dynamic displays, watch the lovely calligraphy talents of Danielle Lummis and marvel at the truly quintissential English floral work of Daisy Works all whilst nibbling on delightful canapes and listening to the gramaphones playing their records.

We weren't exhibiting the wedding photography as Angelic Photo but it was lovely to meet up with the talented Mike and the quirky Hannah as they bustled about capturing the renewal....and some gorgeous gluten free cake

Mr Angelic had been lucky enough to attend the "Swing On The Hill" event held the night before and, as always, he had his trusty Canon camera to hand to capture some images of the evening at this gorgeous Nottinghamshire venue. We will leave you with a sample of the images he captured so you can judge for yourselves.

Spring Wedding Fairs Season in Full Flow.

Whether you call them wedding fairs, fayres, showcases or exhibitions  it has been an extremely busy Spring season so far for us with a wide range of places we have attended and with some still to happen.

Wedding fairs are a great way of checking out venues to see if they fit everything that you'd like for your big day. It is also a great way to meet up with suppliers and get some fantastic ideas.

Additionally, as suppliers it is an easy way for us to see if there are any changes to the venue since we were last there and to store that information for the future. It is also the perfect time to meet up with any couples who may already have booked us for their weddings for a venue visit.

What you See Is What You Get.

Here at Angelic Photo we like to keep it nice and simple at the wedding fairs. In general we don't like to bombard you with lots of albums that blur into one therefore we only take a few. It is done like this because we want you to see what a full day working with us produces and hopefully let those photos do the talking. Obviously, if you wanted to see work from your venue then we are more than happy to send links over for our online galleries if we have photographed there previously.

We prefer to talk to couples about the whole package they would get with us. Yes awesome photos are an absolute necessity but you are likely to be spending more time with your photographer on your wedding day than you are your partner. This means making sure you "click" with them is almost as important as it all helps towards capturing those awesome shots.

Our packages are also nice and simple. Angelic Photo has no hidden costs such as copyright or second shooter as these are already in the price. We explain everything when we chat to you and in our leaflets as we believe you should be fully aware of what we include when you book. We also carry the same ethos over to our Themed Photobooths with an overall price that is fully explained before you book. Don't forget we also do a joint booking discount to make it even more worthwhile.

Time Flies When You Are Having Fun

Many months ago the ever so lovely Mr Angelic designed a new website for our wedding photography business and we were going to be very good and put lots of blog posts on to let everyone know what we have been up to.

As you can see by our very clean and empty blog life got a little bit crazy and it didn't quite happen so Mrs Angelic has decided that we need to be much better at this social lark so here we go.....our first post of our brand spanking new blog.

So what has been occurring? In the words from The Sound Of Music - Let's start at the very beginning.....of 2016.

2016 has been a year of growth for the Angelics - in every way possible.

As some of you may know we also own and run our quirky photo booth company - Booths Dot Co - with our distinct looking vintage photobooths and Ellie our caravan photobooth. This has kept us extremely busy with booths going, literally, across the country to some rather amazing venues and events. We will eventually set up a blog over on that site as well but one step at a time..... :D We have some fantastic ideas for the future growth of this side of the business and you can keep up to date about our newest builds as they happen by liking our Facebook page.

We have taken on two people to work alongside us with both the booths and the wedding photography partly because of how busy we have become but also partly because as well as our business growing our family has also grown and we now have a nearly 8 month old Little Angelic to keep the older Little Angelics on the run. Lauren has taken over some of the mantle of the photography from Mrs Angelic and has been doing a cracking job as we hit our busiest year ever for weddings whilst Craig has become an extremely able and well-liked booth attendant.

Angelic Photography itself has gone from strength to strength with us travelling the Midlands and further afield to some stunning venues including the beautiful Hothorpe Hall & The Woodlands, Swancar Farm Country House, Hellidon Lakes and The Tythe Barn, Launton to name but a few. We are always extremely grateful to be invited to capture one of the most important days of a couple's life and are very lucky that we go to some fabulous venues such as these.

We have worked with many wonderful suppliers and Mrs Angelic aims to try and do some blogging about these over the course of time as they certainly deserve recognition. Keep an eye open for her "Quality Questions" that she will be starting very soon.

Corporate-wise we have worked with some brilliant companies over the last year - from having the fantastic opportunity to work at the ITV Gala to our "Santa Shoot" with Howdens Joinery Company - and this side also continues to go from strength to strength as we work alongside some very good event planners.

And the future?

Well immediately Mrs Angelic is EXTREMELY excited to be working at the wonderfully regal St Paul's Cathedral this month before we leave a seriously busy Summer season and hit an almost as busy Christmas season.
