Julie & Nigel County Buildings Stafford

County Buildings Stafford

recently I had the pleasure of photographing Julie & Nigel's special day that took place at Stafford's County buildings...

The County Buildings is widely regarded as one of the finest late Victorian buildings in Great Britain.

It is situated at the heart of the historic county town of Stafford.The building is licensed to hold ceremonies in any one of five locations, making it ideal for occasions attended by from 25 to 100 guests.Locations vary from the opulent splendour of the Council Chamber to the intimate warmth of the Members' Library. The building's magnificent sweeping staircase provides a unique setting for your wedding photographs, whether formal or reportage.

The wedding itself was followed by a reception at Worsten Mill originally built in 1814 this has retained much of its original features, and makes a great backdrop for photographs.

Below as usual are a few from the day....





a few minor adjustments....








Showing those purple shoes.....


















Thanks for having me guys....album design is underway !

Becky & Stephen

Becky & Stephen's Wedding Worsten Mill Stafford

Time to post a few shots from Becky & Stephen's wedding...

The morning started at the brides house with the usual prep shots and details, The girls all very relaxed sipping pink champagne not even the rain was going to spoil this day...and boy did it rain !!

From the brides house I went to meet the lads at the church and at this point the rain was bouncing of the floor...so time to dig out those umbrella's.

Following the service we headed over to Worsten mill to finish of the photographs, I started indoors with the groups and managed to get outside for a few shots of the couple.

here are a few from the day.

The rain just kept coming............

time to head indoors for this shot.....

Nothing was going stop Becky getting to the church on time...

all the best guys..thanks for letting me be a part of your special day..

wedding day for Joanne & David

Joanne & David, St Dominic's Stone & Sandon Hall

At the beginning of July I had the pleasure of photographing Joanne & David's wedding. Joanne and David had travelled up from Ealing London and chosen Sandon Hall as the venue for their special day.

My starting point for the day was with the bride in the morning to cover the preps, The girls were all very relaxed and naturals in front of camera....

I then headed over to the church to capture the guests and groom arriving, this done it was time for the arrival of the bride maids and also the rain ( perfect timing !

Then it was time for Joanne and her mum Rita to arrive, both looking amazing and full of of smiles.

with David just about holding it together...lol ( I wont say anymore mate you never know who's reading this !) the happy couple became Mr & Mrs Knowles..( Congratulations )

So time to head over to Sandon and complete the photography. I have to say that everyone on this wedding was so warm and friendly it was an absolute pleasure to be part of it.

below are as usual a selection of images from the day....please feel free to leave any comments.

enjoy...

James & Sharon ,wedding, sandon hall, Stafford.

Sharon & James wedding took place at St Andrews Weston followed by a reception at Sandon Hall.

This was the third wedding i have done for this family starting with James brother Richard back in 2004, followed by their Sister Claire's wedding in 2007 and finally James in 2009. So a massive thank you to all the family for using Stephen Sutton Photography for all of the family weddings.

This was another great day with familiar faces and great weather, I'm sure all three of the wedding i have done for this family have been really nice weather, correct me if I'm wrong guys....


Its difficult to show all of the wedding on a blog post but as usual I have posted a taster.




St James Weston..


Richard and James...







One final adjustment




James first look at Sharon....







A much needed drink......





James and Richard are big Rugby players, I think this is a sign of affection ( Honest ! )



The brothers and sisters together, I think I have done this shot on all their weddings.




And finally Richards speech this was so funny and delivered with perfect timing.

All the best to you both for the future and thanks once again for choosing me for your wedding photographer.
