Spains hall open days and wedding fair


Well what a lovely weekend! The sun shined and www.spainshall.co.uk was looking fabulous.
There can be few venues with a lovlier atmosphere and praise must go to Tim and Rosemary Ruggles-Brise for creating such a wonderful venue. It was also great to get out and chat to people again.
90% of our work is from recommendation nowadays, so we do not often promote ourselves at events such as these but for Spains Hall I made an exception.
It was worth hanging around just to sample the gorgeous Baileys profiteroles made by the outside catering side of http://www.le-talbooth.co.uk !
I met some lovely people, most organising events in 2009 but many still have some details to sort out for weddings this year.
Over 350 people came on Saturday and over 500 on Sunday. Some were locals just having a good look around their local wedding venue.
I have enjoyed a great relationship with the staff here since the time the Stables were a building site. I was delighted to be asked to photograph the brochure pictures which featured a young dancer/model called Nina (above).

More pictures can be seen at our Spains hall website page http://www.reportagephotography.com/spainshall.htm

I am looking forward to doing many more weddings at this beautiful venue this year. In the meantime I will be back to photograph some more trees being planted as I did last in their ever expanding Arboretum in February.
Its great being a photographer!
