Visited today for the Middle Earth Open Date. It was great! Several stalls selling nice things, a stall selling BBQ which was tasty!. A few stalls demonstrating skills and then displays of paintings etc. Had a lovely atmosphere. Can't forget to mention the tall tree men! Who were friendly and looked great!

Had an amazing time photographing Jordan and Tasia’s wedding at Bewdley Museum. The whole team and every guest were genuinely welcoming and relaxed, which makes a huge difference on a wedding day. The setting works beautifully for natural, honest moments and the photos really do speak for themselves. Brilliant couple, brilliant atmosphere, and I would love to shoot here again.

Free admission and lots to see and learn. They have vast gardens you can explore, as well as jewellery shops and cafes inside. Really fascinating about the jail history where kids as young as nine could be jailed. Lots to keep the children entertained too… or in my instance, a 29 year old big child.
