Amy & Dave’s Wedding by Victoria Jane Photography

vickyjanephoto — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 14:00:47 +0000

Amy & Dave’s Wedding was a pleasure to photograph. I’m so pleased that I could be part of their special day.

Amy & Dave had chosen to get married at St Mary’s Church, Clifton On Dunsmore, followed by Brownsover Hall. Amy had asked me to meet her at Brownsover Hall where she was getting ready with her family, including her lovely little bridesmaids.

I left Amy to finish getting ready & headed to St Mary’s to meet Dave & his Groom’s men. I spent about 20 minutes photographing the lads before also capturing the setting of the Church & various personal details of their wedding.

Amy & Dave had chosen to have some of their photos at the Church followed by more at Brownsover. A particular request from Amy way my ‘confetti shot’. Amy had seen this shot from one of my other weddings & had really like it. It’s a little time consuming to edit but the result was definitely worth it . I know Amy & Dave loved it too as they chose to have a large canvas of it for their living room wall.

Once I had photographed all the requested group shots I took Amy & Dave off for a short time to capture some beautiful pictures of the newlyweds together. They’re we a great couple to photograph & Amy didn’t stop smiling throughout

We finished with a picture of them cutting the cake before the wedding breakfast.

The images above are just a small selection taken of the images taken on the day. Amy & Dave have a password protected gallery on my main site http://www.victoriajanephotography.co.uk. If you are a friend or family of Amy & Dave please ask them for the password so you can view the rest of the images from the day.

Our New Arrival

Well after deciding to keep us waiting for nearly 2 weeks, Grace finally made her appearance . Stuart & I are overjoyed & are very grateful to everyone for their kind wishes & gifts.

Jessica (now 5 yrs old) has taken to her big sister’s role brilliantly, particularly in the important duty of deciding what outfit Grace should wear that day!

I’m now taking a little break until the Summer, however if you’d like to contact me to chat about an upcoming wedding, event or photo shoot then please still feel free to email me on vicky@victoriajanephotography.co.uk. I’ll do my best to get back to you as quickly as possible but please forgive me if I’m not quite as quick as I should be

Jane & Stuart’s Wedding at Bosworth Hall – Wedding Photography by Victoria Jane Photography

vickyjanephoto — Tue, 29 May 2012 14:21:24 +0000

The day of Jane & Stuart’s wedding arrived & with a glorious sunny day ahead we made our way to meet Jane at Bosworth hall. We had been asked to photography Jane & Stuart’s wedding right from early morning up until the evening celebrations. After their pre wedding meeting a few weeks earlier it became clear that not only would Jane be the star of the day but their beautiful daughter Jorga would be too . Jane & Stuart have a large family & group of friends & a good number of which we’re children. Jane & Stuart were very keen for the children to be captured naturally, enjoying themselves, as much as possible through out the day. With a large venue, big grounds & lots of children it made it essential that there were two photographers. Jane & Stuart knew that I often have an assistant photographer with me & knowing also that my little girl Jessica was about the same age as Jorga, were confident that I would be up to the task in hand. With this in mind we made our way to the bridal suite to meet Jane & the 6 young bridesmaids – Chaos I hear you say? – we’ll to our surprise – exactly the opposite . Jane was a very calm, organised bride & not only did she have time to get ready herself but with a little help from family, helped with the 6 bridesmaids & still had time to pose for photos !!

Jane & Stuart’s wedding was a wonderful wedding from start to finish. Family & friends thoroughly enjoyed themselves (as did I ), there was lots of smiles from the children who behaved themselves all day & we had a fantastic time being part of their special day.

Here is just a small selection of photos from Jane & Stuarts Wedding at Bosworth Hall.

Tess & Tom | Wedding photography at The Windmill Village |

vickyjanephoto — Tue, 29 May 2012 13:18:45 +0000

Tess and Tom are such a lovely couple that we couldn’t help but smile most of the day. The wedding ceremony and celebrations all took place at The Windmill Village Hotel, Coventry. We were photographing their wedding right from Tess getting ready until late into the evening celebrations. Tess & Tom were very keen to have not only group & posed shots but as much reportage style photography as time allowed … needless to say, with guests enjoying themselves & the weather on our side, guests spent as much time chatting, drinking & laughing outside, as they could … so plenty of photo opportunities !! Here are just a few photos from their day! ……..

If you are thinking of getting married and you want a fun photographer who offers flexibility along with creativity please give me a call on 07739096632.

Stuart Kettell takes Macmillan fundraising to new heights

vickyjanephoto — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 23:56:33 +0000

Yes hes back again & this year his 2012 challenge is even more crazy than last year!!

For several years Stuart has devised a ‘Mad Fool’ task that he does to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. His past challenges have included cycling on a replica Penny Farthing from Lands End to John O’Groats and Kayaking across the channel from France to Coventry , he suspended himself, David Blaine style, inside a Perspex box suspended above Broadgate in Coventry city centre for a week & last year he ran 7 marathons in 7 days in a giant hamster wheel!

Over the last year Stuart Kettell has meticulous calculated, plotted & planned this year’s 2012 “MAD Fool” challenge, aimed to raise money & awareness for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The idea … To be suspended for up to 12 hours a day … by just a big bunch of helium filled balloons … 14 meters in the air !!! … MAD

His Challenge started at 12pm Saturday 3rd of March & continues until midday Saturday 10th March & can be found in West Orchards Shopping Centre in Coventry.

As with previous years I was happy to photograph the launch & will be photographing Stuart’s mad challenge through out the week.

Below are a number of images I took from the launch on Saturday

To follow his progress please go to http://www.willthemadfoolmakeit.co.uk where webcams are being updated daily

+ please please help him reach his target for Macmillan by texting your donation. Text STUK50 to 70070 with the amount £1-£10. or go & see him in West Orchards … you can’t miss him … he’s dressed all in green, has green hair … oh … & is being dangled 30ft in the air by a massive multicoloured cluster of 25 x 8ft helium filled weather balloons !!!

Steph Dean & Family – Home Photo Shoot

Over Christmas I had the opportunity to photograph a lovely family at their home in Kenilworth.

After much bribery with biscuits & children’s tv (thank goodness for Justin’s House) we finally managed to get all the kids- big & little !! to sit for a group shot & with two wonderfully active children that’s no mean feet !

Today was a great chance to play with my new contemporary wall paper backdrop & wooden flooring as well as my all white backdrop.

Here are a few shots from their home photo shoot.

The rest of Steph’s photos will be available to view on my password protected gallery available at http://www.victoriajanephotography.co.uk.

Rona’s Birthday Celebration – Alveston Manor, Stratford

vickyjanephoto — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 22:04:20 +0000

Jenny, Rona’s daughter, contacted me after reading my blog, to book me to take some family photos at Rona’s birthday gathering. Rona, Jenny & her family, her brother & his family & Rona’s sister travelled from all around the country to met up for Rona’s birthday. Jenny was particularly keen to capture these family photos as the family haven’t had the opportunity to get together all as a big group for a number of years.

It was a very bright & crisp Saturday at the end of November. We all met at The Alveston manor in Stratford Upon Avon to do the photography. This was a great venue for the photos as we were able to stay in doors (& keep warm !) for the larger group shots & then venture outside for a few smaller family group photos.

Here is just a taster of the images taken on the day.

Leigh & Family – Home Photo Shoot

vickyjanephoto — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:33:20 +0000

Any one who knows me will know that I’m very much a “people person”, so how cool’s my job ? … particularly when I get to photograph a fun loving family such as Leigh & her family.

Here is just a sneaky peak at a few of the photos taken that evening.

If you want a family photo shoot in and around Warwickshire, or if you have any kind of family celebration coming up, please don’t hesitate to contact me. My number is 07739096632.

Happy Belated New Year :)

After a fantastic Summer, Autumn & Christmas of photography I thought I’d start to catch up & update my poor neglected blog

I had the pleasure of photographing some wonderful Weddings right through until two days before the New Year. In between my weddings I’ve had the opportunity to photograph a number of families as well as being back at the Birmingham Hilton Metropole with their 2011 Christmas & New Year events & ball.
