We’ll be at the Wroxall Abbey Wedding Fair this Sunday 28th March 12-5pm. If you’re planning your wedding and you’re in the area we’d love to meet you. Wroxall Abbey Estate is a gloriously grand venue set in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside. It’s only 10-15 minutes drive from Solihull. The wedding fair is always a great day. Come along and take a look around and meet some fantastic vendors at the same time.

A few examples of daylight shooting with the 300mm f2.8 IS. Very impressed.

We recently attended the varsity rugby match between Warwick Uni and Coventry Uni hosted at the Butts Stadium.  We hired the Canon 300mm f2.8 IS lens for the first time to see how it would performed under floodlights.  Examples below: -

We did the event photography for the 2010 Warwick University Drama and Music Societies’ ball on Friday night.

Warwick University Students, an In The Secret Garden Theme, fabulous fancy dress and the Restaurant in the Park at Jephson Gardens in Leamington Spa.

To be honest it is easier to show you…

We had an ashmorevisuals big day out today.

We went to the Focus on Imaging show at the NEC in Birmingham. Lots to see, lots to buy (and was bought!!!) and generally well worth the trip.

Peter had to disappear early but Andy and I thought we’d get a shot with some proper big boy lenses. You can see into people’s souls with these beauties!

Hello everyone, I’m Jules and I’ve joined the ashmorevisuals team to blog about everything weddings. I’m not an expert, I’m just a gal who got married last year and loved the whole business of planning our big day. Ultimately our day was about us and I truly believe that’s what makes the most beautiful weddings so special. It doesn’t have to cost lots of money, it doesn’t have to involve 200 guests, it just has to be all about YOU. So if you’re planning your wedding right now, my heartfelt advice is not to worry about doing things the right way or trying to please everyone, just stay true to yourself and… enjoy it.

I’m going to be bringing you the best in wedding style, the latest trends, fabulous blogs and stylish suppliers.  I hope you’ll find inspiration and ideas here and I’ll keep the updates coming on a regular basis so you’ll have some new eye candy every time you stop by. Please do leave your comments – I would love to know who you are and what you think!

As this is my first post I thought a good place to start would be to share a few pics of my own wedding. Leighton and I got married in October 2009 at Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire. So here’s the problem – as Leighton is the resident wedding photographer here at ashmorevisuals who could we trust with taking his place behind the lens? Of course we didn’t have to look very far did we? Leighton’s partners in the business, Andy and Peter, very kindly agreed to do the honours for us. Didn’t they do a fabulous job?

My dress is Pronovias Huella from Elisa Hamilton in Henley in Arden.

Hand made vintage hair accessory by Etsy seller Lulu Splendor.

Leighton’s suit is from the Gibson Carnaby Classics collection from First for Men in Coventry.

Flowers by Cindy at Pure Botanics and you can see more pics of them here.
