“We have just sat down together and looked through the slideshow, oh wow, absolutely stunning!”
Emma and Bhavin enquired after seeing our previous work at their venue – the lovely Spring Grove House, situated in the centre of the West Midlands Safari Park.
Unlike the other weddings we’ve photographed there, Emma and Bhavin had planned their entire day at the venue. They opted for the single-photographer option, so Robin met up with Emma during the latter part of the morning and then Bhavin as he was greeting the arriving guests.
This was very much a ‘fusion’ wedding, with elements of traditional western and Indian weddings. Emma wore a gorgeous Stella York dress for the civil ceremony, afternoon photos, meal and speeches. Bhavin chose a sharp, stylish suite from Aristocracy London. Later in the day, the couple changed into their Indian wedding attire for the early evening photo shoot, dancing and party.
We’ve always liked Spring Grove House as a venue – not only does it look great but the staff are on-point and the wider grounds of the safari park make for some very unique photo opportunities. While the gardens at the rear of the house were ideal for a the short afternoon photo session with the couple, the evening shoot took us a little further out. We all got a lift in one of the staff cars down to the giraffe enclosure and surrounding lodges where the evening light was just perfect.
A really big thank you Emma and Bhavin, who were great to work with and very open to trying all the ideas Robin had for pictures. Enjoy the photos….
