Talia & Elliot - An Elegant, Friend-Filled Knowsley Hall Wedding - Knowsley Hall Wedding Photography

View fullsize

Spring is officially in bloom and summer is most definitely on it’s way! Yesterday I had the great pleasure of spending the day at the BREATHTAKING Knowsley Hall capturing the lovely Talia & Elliot’s very special day. These two wonderful people have been together since they were 17 and you could really feel the joy and love that completely surrounds them. They first got in touch with me 18 months ago after I had shot their friends, Darren & Steph’s wedding in 2017 at Delamere Manor and we hit it off immediately. They wanted wedding photos that told the story of the day but also showed off their unbelievable wedding venue.

When we met for their pre-wedding shoot a couple of months ago, these sweethearts kept trying to tell me that they ‘weren’t picture people’ and could be awkward in photos. As a photographer, I found the absolute opposite to be true (hether they knew it or not): two people who completely delight in each other’s company and have such gorgeous chemistry that it JUMPS out of the photo. It was literally impossible to take an awkward photo of these two!! Ont the day, it didn’t hurt that Talia was an absolute VISION in her epic Pronovias gown with added train AND the most stunning appliqued veil - and Elliot scrubbed up perfectly in my fave, Whitfield & Ward. Add to that some romantic ivory and green blooms from Hayley Cowell and you have a dream of a wedding. I loved exploring just a fraction of Knowsley Hall’s extensive grounds and even more fun once the party got started in the evening - these pals knew how to party! Thank you so so much again guys for having me along - what a truly magical day we had! Here’s your sneak peek!!

Jodie & Danny: An Elegant Jewel Toned Autumn Knowsley Hall Wedding

View fullsize

October wedding? TICK! October wedding in an iconic stately home?? DOUBLE TICK! October wedding in an iconic stately home, accented with sumptuous jewel tones, daschund references, a jaw-dropping Pronovias off-shoulder gown and some of the MOST hilarious and fun bridal party members?? THIS WEDDING WAS THE DREAM!!

From the moment I met the incredibly sweet Jodie and Danny, we literally never stopped laughing.  Beginning with our initial Skype chat to their gorgeous Fletcher Moss pre-wedding shoot and the day itself, the ease and delight that these two so obviously have with each other makes so so many more naturally loving moments...in short, they're a photographer's dream! After that first meeting though, I started thinking about how to properly convey that ease tangible joy.  Whilst I'm a photographer first, I had been looking at ways to push my business even further so that I may truly tell the full story of a wedding day from all angles.  Enter the lovely Amy! Amy has been second shooting for me from the very beginning but over the last year, she's been making a huge splash with her videography skills.  Her unobtrusive, gentle approach, her light editing touch and eye for detail make her the perfect fit for my own vision of how I want  to capture a wedding and give couples the option to relive their day through both still and moving pictures.

Amy was due to second shoot Jodie & Danny's wedding for me anyway so we thought it would actually be the perfect opportunity (with their permission of course!) to trial the idea of a highlights film alongside my still photography.  With the amazing setting of Knowsley Hall - even the persistent rain couldn't keep us from showing off the gorgeous decor...we even managed to sneak out during a break in the showers to take a quick walk on the grounds! Knowsley Hall wedding photography varies so much because of how rich the space is and when you have a playful, fun-loving couple like Jodie & Danny the results can be spectacular. 

Thank you so so much to this wonderful pair for having us along to capture your gorgeous day, I'm thrilled to share a teaser of the film footage we captured alongside the many photos of the day.
