Fast cars and summer sunshine. A dynamite combination for a modern wedding…
Emily and Dan married at Tanworth in Arden Church on July 4th 2015 before whizzing to Hogarths Hotel Solihull in a brand new white Ferrari! Prestige Photography captured lots of intimate moments throughout their blush-themed affair. Emily stole the show in a dazzling low-back, ivory Lillian West gown while the boys wore designer Hugo Boss suits.
Travelling in style on their special day was perfectly fitting – Dan works as a Service Manager and he met Emily six year’s ago when she was buying her first Mini. Emily kept taking her car back to the garage, but it was just an excuse to see Dan! There was never anything wrong with it! Not long after, he asked her out for a drink.
In July 2013, while on holiday in Cyprus, they enjoyed cocktails at one of their favourite viewing points overlooking the beach. Emily was wearing a dress with lots of back detail, unusually Dan asked if he could take a picture from behind while she looked out to the water.
When she turned back to face him, Dan was down on one knee with a ring. Emily was so excited she burst into tears and took the ring out of Dan’s hand before he had even asked the big question! Meaning she had to hand it back, so he could ask again properly!
“Our photographers Joe and Hope from Prestige Photography were exceptional. We felt that Joe and Hope knew us on a personal level and knew exactly what we wanted without even having to ask. It almost felt that Joe and Hope were wedding guests – which was great! Hope was a massive help with the bridesmaids and captured some beautiful moments during the morning while we were getting ready. It didn’t feel as if we were ‘working’ with them as they made the day run so smoothly. Following the wedding day, the service that we received during the choosing and printing of our photos was faultless. They were very accommodating and nothing was too much hassle.”
“We had been to wedding previously at Hogarth’s and knew as soon as we saw it that it was the venue for our reception. It is in a great location for family and friends who live in the area and it is also a very modern and classy. It really is a WOW venue and the staff looked after us so well. They transformed our reception area, it was exactly what we pictured and we didn’t need to do a thing! The food was outstanding and the sun shining on the beautiful grounds just made our day perfect.”
There was plenty of laughs to be had throughout the day. Due to the hot weather, Dan was unable to get the ring on Emily’s finger! The whole congregation erupted into laughter as Emily told Dan to ‘push it’ in a moment of panic at the altar. Of course, everything worked out okay in the end, and the wedding party danced the night away to their amazing band called The Somebodys.
A huge thank you to Dan and Emily for sharing their special day with us and best wishes ahead of the arrival of your first child in May 2016! Also, thanks to Prestige Photography for sending us this stunning collection of images. You can see more of their work at www.prestigephotography.co.uk
