Stockport Town Hall Wedding: Camille + Ben
I first got to know Ben and Camille whilst on holiday on the island of Nevis in the West Indies. We were all there as part of a group trip from Manchester for the island's annual Culturama Festival. I was struck by how lovely they are as a couple and how at ease they are with each other. Some time after, Ben got in touch enquiring about my photography services for their upcoming wedding. After sharing my pricing information, we arranged to meet at Ben and Camille's new house to discuss in more detail what they had planned for the day. Here are a few highlights from Camille and Ben's big wedding at Stockport Town Hall.Camille opted for a black, red and white theme wedding with lots of vintage details.Camille's gorgeous earings in-keeping with the vintage theme.Camille's chief bridesmaid, Fayola's adorable son Remi was the ring bearer.The bride-to-be received a suprise wedding gift, this beautiful retro perfume bottle.Ben got ready at home, helped by his Ushers and Camille's Dad, Trevor.Check out little Remi's cute Converse trainers!Instead of carrying flower bouquets, the bridesmaids wore roses in their hair and carried these pretty fans.Camille's Mum handcrafted Camille's, diamante headpiece herself... a woman of many talents.Fayloa and Remi... and pre-wedding gifts for the bridesmaidsFor this wedding, my Assistant, Safrana Musa photographed the groom getting ready, while I photographed the bride.Ben's hand-crafted cufflinks by Helen Hamer of Hanfords of LondonCamille's dress had this pretty broach detail to the back...Aston Martin anyone?
