Lichfield wedding photography - Christian and Zoe’s intimate lichfield wedding

Living just 20 minutes away from the beautiful little city that is Lichfield really does make me one lucky wedding photographer. I absolutely love Lichfield, having worked there for nearly 4 years in a photography studio, I know all the beautiful spots for wedding photography. Lichfield is full of character, with cobbled streets and the stunning Lichfield Cathedral, you’re spoilt for choice for photos, making this a gorgeous city to get married in.

Lichfield wedding photography - Christian and Zoe’s intimate lichfield wedding

Christian & Zoe had planned a big party for their wedding in 2020. They chose the gorgeous, grade two listed Guildhall in Lichfield. With its large suite, it was the perfect venue for their party plans. Unfortunately, Christian and Zoe’s plans had to change, like many couples. Covid19 meant they had to whittle down the guest list to just 15 of their nearest and dearest.

Getting ready for the big day in Lichfield

Zoe and her one of her bridesmaids stayed at The Hedgehog, in Lichfield. A beautiful country pub and hotel on the outskirts of Lichfield city centre. With great food, spacious rooms and a chilled vibe, this is the perfect place to stay for your city wedding in Lichfield.

Zoe chose a beautiful, boho style dress from Kelsey Rose Dress. This dress was stunning for a summer wedding. It was floaty and had such elegant movement to the fabric.

A pair of vintage inspired Rachel Simpson shoes matched the dress perfectly.

Zoe loves vintage stylingvintage inspired hair style by Karen Chesters, a Lichfield hair and makeup stylist.

Zoe’s incredible look was finished with a gorgeous, colourful bouquet from Jem’s Floral Studio based in Lichfield. I absolutely love seeing pops of colour on your wedding day and what better way is there than in your wedding flowers.

The intimate ceremony at Guildhall, Lichfield

The wedding ceremony was short a sweet. With a beautiful reading from one of Zoe’s bridesmaids, the ceremony still felt so personal for Christian and Zoe. This couple are a pair of pranksters, even during their ceremony, they couldn’t resist having a giggle at one another… I bloody loved this.

Keeping to covid guidelines, Zoe ordered confetti canons for when they walked out of Guildhall as husband and wife. These created some hilarious photos as we were not expecting the explosion noise to come from these tubes! The confetti created this cloud of colourful confetti on the streets of Lichfield.

The couple photos around Lichfield

We headed back into Guildhall for Christian and Zoe to cut and share their wedding cake with their guests. Cake was accompanied by bubbly and a thank you speech from the newly weds. This short but sweet little celebration was filled with so much laughter (mainly from Christian and Zoe’s cake fight) and love for the couple, it was beautiful to be part of. The Guildhall in Lichfield is the perfect setting for an intimate wedding.

We wandered the streets of Lichfield, capturing fun a loving photographs of the newly weds. We had so much fun, we found some cool red phone boxes in Lichfield’s Market Square. We stopped off at the Memorial Garden on our way to Lichfield Cathedral, where I got to capture Christian and Zoe dancing in the empty street and have a private confetti celebration.

Confetti at Lichfield Cathedral, YAY!

Christian and Zoe’s intimate Lichfield wedding was perfect. They managed to fit so much into their shortened wedding. They embraced the changes and showed us all that what really matters is that you’re getting to marry the person you love. Wedding photography in Lichfield truly is stunning.
