Shrewsbury Wedding Photographers & Filmmakers - Kate & Thom - Albright Hussey

Shrewsbury Wedding Photographers & Filmmakers at a beautiful Albright Hussey Wedding.

The golden Sunlight filled the scenic surroundings of the beautiful Albright Hussey Hotel as we walked with Kate and Thom for their evening portrait session. The hotel was behind us, teaming with laughter and excitement, the guests spilling out onto the front lawn of the beautiful Tudor manor. We started our session as we always do, by playing some music to set the mood, beginning with River by Leon Bridges. The love shared between Thom and Katie was not only present but palpable, their chemistry was so easy to evoke. Thom looked at Kate as though she were the sun, as though the warm light of the evening radiated from her. She looked back at Thom and saw her love reflected back. Their is no question that their love, a love that has taken years of friendship to come to fruition, was not only magical but also completely and utterly true. This pairing was perfection.

We often speak about the privilege of capturing a wedding day. We talk about the fact that we view our jobs as Photographers & Filmmakers to be an honour and something that we treasure. In moments like this, we recognise our job to be a gift. We are entrusted with so much, and we are allowed to get a glimpse of the intimate and beautiful aspects of a relationship that we realise not everyone has the permission to see. We are able to be witness to the outpouring of emotion, the glances across the room, the subtle touching of hands. We are so invested in every moment of every wedding day we are a part of, and this is what makes us the story tellers we are.

Kate and Thom were married back in May, where Kate got ready at her sweet family home in rural Shropshire, while Thom was over at The Albright Hussey with his Ushers. The bridesmaids donned their beautiful Sorella Vita gowns, with April and Sally Howe working their magic with Hair and Makeup. Kate looked like a true princess in her gorgeous tulle gown purchased from Jdezire Bridal and stunning Rachel Simpson shoes. Thom and his ushers suited up in Peter Posh tails along with his groomsmen & Cavalli shoes. The florals had been created by the brides mother and family friends the day before which added a gorgeous personal touch to the overall look of the day.

The Albright Hussey is a stunning wedding venue near Shrewsbury which is the perfect place for brides who want everything in one place, with tons of options for customisation when it comes to catering and decor. What we really love about this venue is the gardens! The front lawn of this beautiful old manor house is divided by a Tudor moat complete with resident black swans and a huge weeping willow. Kate and Tom opted for beautiful floral centrepieces and made a feature of the beautiful cake, handcrafted by Kate’s mother.

The day played out beautifully, with Thom’s sweet words of his love for kate making the whole room weep, while tears of laughter spread throughout the guests during his brother’s best man speech. This was a day that was truly focused on the important things, family, friends, and love. Katie and Thom are truly a couple who love each other endlessly and we feel incredibly privileged to have been a part of it.

Here is our film and a few highlights from the day:

Kevin & Michelle - The Mytton & Mermaid Hotel - Shrewsbury Wedding Photographer - Beautiful Family Wedding

Kevin contacted us only a few months before their wedding date - he and Michelle had gotten engaged and a date at their dream venue had become available and they just decided to ask the question - ‘Why wait!?’. We met up and heard all about their plans for the perfect family wedding - including eight flower girls and pageboys below the age of four (SO cute!) and a ceremony in the courtyard of The Mytton and Mermaid Hotel just outside Shrewsbury in our beautiful home county of Shropshire. It was what we felt every wedding should be - a day where you’re surrounded by your loved ones. We couldn’t wait to be a part of it.

“There were LOTS of happy tears, this is exactly why we chose you guys! We now have the perfect video and photo selection from our day to preserve the memories forever.”

The Mytton and Mermaid is a picture perfect countryside hotel nestled by the river just outside the grounds of the famous National Trust owned Attingham Park. The height of summer, not a cloud in the sky - everything was perfect. The wedding itself was filled with so much love and happiness. So many relaxed moments, laughter, amazing transport choices, intimate time spent in the beautiful riverside grounds of the hotel and the best donuts at a wedding this year! Capturing a wedding day like this means so much to us - it was such a joy to spend time getting to know this adorable family, there were tears in our eyes too as they all joined together in Kevin and Michelles first dance that evening.

We were honoured to capture both a photographic record and a film of their day which you can see below!
