I’m a nomad

I Left home at 19 to go to uni­ver­si­ty and lived in about 8 dif­fer­ent stu­dent hous­es. Then, whilst work­ing in hos­pi­tal­i­ty, I lived in about 10 dif­fer­ent places over a peri­od of about 12 years. I have final­ly put down roots on the West Midlands/Staffordshire/Shropshire bor­der and it’s great slow­ly get­ting to explore the oodles of coun­try­side we have on our doorstep.

So, expe­ri­enc­ing Claver­ley Church wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy at the 11th cen­tu­ry All Saints Church, where the Bride’s par­ents got mar­ried, gives a won­der­ful feel­ing of his­to­ry and con­ti­nu­ity. When it’s fol­lowed by a recep­tion in a mar­quee at Claver­ley Crick­et Club, which last year field­ed a team made up of three gen­er­a­tions of the fam­i­ly, you get a real sense of con­nec­tion with this East Shrop­shire village.

Over the last few years I’ve pho­tog­ra­ph­er quite a few wed­dings in the Bridg­north area so I’ve writ­ten a blog about quite a few of the venues in the area, if you’re look­ing for inspiration!

Getting Ready at Home

The Bride got ready at her par­en­t’s house, on the out­skirts of the village.

I then head­ed into Claver­ley to The Plough where the Groom and guests are gath­er­ing — noth­ing wrong with hav­ing a drink (or two) to set­tle the nerves!

Very con­ve­nient­ly, All Saints Church is a short stroll from the pub. The church can trace it’s ori­gin back to 7th cen­tu­ry with the present church found­ed by 1st Earl of Shrews­bury in the 11th Century.

Cricket Club Reception

Although I went from the Bride’s fam­i­ly home to the church and then to the crick­et club you could have walked the whole jour­ney if you’d had about fif­teen min­utes to spare (which I did­n’t!) which gives you an idea of what a local affair this was.

With a bar made by the groom, the Bride’s Mum the wed­ding plan­ner and her broth­er the M.C. it was Shrop­shire through and through.

There were glass­es of gin big enough to swim in, some foot­balling rival­ry and sing-a-long Oasis dur­ing the wed­ding breakfast!!
