The Bond Digbeth Birmingham Wedding Photography

The Bond Digbeth Wedding Photographer

Let me tell you about The Bond Dig­beth, Birm­ing­ham Wed­ding Photography.

Have you ever been to Dig­beth in Birmingham? 

What used to be the indus­tri­al heart­land of the West Mid­lands city is rapid­ly becom­ing a thriv­ing cre­ative and cul­tur­al hub. With a num­ber of uncon­ven­tion­al wed­ding venues it’s also some­thing of a go-to-quar­ter for cou­ples who want a dif­fer­ent vibe for their day.

There are quite a num­ber of unusu­al wed­ding venues around Birm­ing­ham and the Mid­lands and Dig­beth def­i­nite­ly has it’s share!

One of these is The Bond, which has it’s own wharf at the inter­sec­tion between the Grand Union Canal and Riv­er Rea. Over the years the site has been used an ice fac­to­ry, a gas works and even a ware­house for HP Sauce! 

So with such an inter­est­ing his­to­ry, The Bond makes the per­fect post-indus­tri­al wed­ding venue. Ide­al if you’re a cou­ple who are look­ing for some­thing a lit­tle bit different.

That also makes it a great place for a doc­u­men­tary wed­ding pho­tog­ra­ph­er like me!

Rea­sons to choose The Bond Dig­beth for your wed­ding venue:-

• Urban-cool in a funky part of Birmingham
• Grand Union Canal backdrop
• Only min­utes from the railway/bus sta­tions and Metro

A Digbeth Wedding 

So for this par­tic­u­lar wed­ding, the Bride got ready at home in Wolver­hamp­ton (just around the cor­ner from my house!) before jump­ing in a taxi to head to The Bond in Birmingham.

This was a Novem­ber wed­ding but mild and dry, a great autumn day to get married!

As you can see from the Bride’s shoes, this was a wed­ding that was full of colour. It also had some great home-made qual­i­ties, like a Great British Bake Off style cake table. The idea being that any­one (or every­one!) would bake some­thing and bring it along to add to the feast. Nom, nom, nom.

I’ve pho­tographed a few wed­dings in the Dig­beth area now and they all seem to have a real­ly relaxed, chilled out vibe with cou­ples want­i­ng to have an awe­some party.

This was no exception.

Photographing a Wedding at The Bond in Digbeth

You can see in one of the pho­tos above all the bright­ly coloured strips and cir­cles of tis­sue paper that had been used to dec­o­rate the room used for the cer­e­mo­ny. It’s lit­tle touch­es like this which are so inter­est­ing to see and make every wed­ding that I pho­to­graph different.

Time for the wedding!

One of the things I love to pho­to­graph at a wed­ding, like here at The Bond, is the hugs afterwards!

When you’ve wit­nessed a cou­ple you love tie the knot, it’s the most instinc­tive thing in the world to want to give them a big hug afterwards.

The Bond in Dig­beth has a huge canopy out­side the cer­e­mo­ny room. It’s per­fect for al fres­co drinks.. and also hugs!

At some point dur­ing the day I always aim to get some pho­tos of the cou­ple, but try not to make it feel like a ‘pho­to­shoot’!

Lots of my cou­ples either hate the idea of pos­ing or just don’t want to miss out on valu­able min­gling time by spend­ing ages away from their guests.

But hav­ing a bit of time for the two of you is a great thing to do. I tag along whilst you’re hav­ing some time togeth­er, nin­ja-style! I’m always hap­py to give a bit of guid­ance and direc­tion, from a pho­to­graph­ic point of view. Think­ing about where the light is good, how I can bring in the envi­ron­ment around your venue to the photographs. 

How­ev­er, the main thing is you be you!!

This is where my style of Wed­ding Pho­tog­ra­phy real­ly seem to suit The Bond in Dig­beth Birmingham

Outdoor Speeches at The Bond in Digbeth

As I men­tioned ear­li­er, The Bond has a great out­door space by the wharf on the canal. 

(If you’re watch­ing Late Night Lycett on Fri­days on Chan­nel Four, it’s the area the guests walk through from the canal when it’s their turn to be interview!)

It’s also a great space for wed­ding speeches.
