When Tony and Nicola first got in touch with me about their Sale Town Hall and Belmore Hotel wedding in the center of Sale just 4 weeks before the big day, I was so excited – they were planning the most fun and laid back wedding with a vintage double-decker bus transporting their guests between ceremony and venue, a local busker playing a mix of Disney hits and soft acoustic tunes and even a STUNNING flower photo wall created by a family member
Read MoreSo I'm getting super into theis year's pre-wedding shoots: meeting in stunning new locations, hiking or walking and spending time with couples who are just so damn excited about their plans...pre-wedding shoots are about so much more than pretty pictures though, they're about connecting and getting to know each other, about working out your chemistry and reassuring you that I'm not eager to make you look like anything or anyone but YOU.
Read MoreWhen we met up for their Rivington pre-wedding shoot a few weeks ago, I was so struck by this tenderness they have for each other. More than anything, I understood they are best friends and marriage is literally just a natural extension of that: a commitment of hearts and souls and at times I almost felt I was intruding. And though I knew we'd have an awesome time working together on their wedding (beginning this Friday with their Liverpool Town Hall civil ceremony, followed by Saturday's Spring Cottage garden party extravaganza!) - I wasn't prepared to fall a bit in love with them and spend a languid 2 hours walking the sun-drenched trails of the gorgeous scenery that will provide the setting for Saturday's festivities.
Read MoreSuzanne and Matthew got married last September at the spectacular Manchester Town Hall, which is an iconic Manchester city centre wedding venue just a few months before this iconic building shuts for weddings for the next 6 years whilst it undergoes a dramatic refurbishment and renovation. It was one of the most fun weddings I’ve shot and even the rain didn’t dampen the day!
Read MoreVicky and Mark have been together 18 years (!!!) and have two STUNNING children, Ebony & Austin who tagged along for the shoot. Whilst a pre-wedding shoot is generally just to get comfortable with the couples portraits, I loved having these two goofballs around. They were hilarious and the dynamic of the day was super relaxed, feeling more like a family day out than a photo shoot. These kids are STARS and their energy is completely infectious.
Read MoreNaomi and Jamie got married last autumn in the awesome Ashfield House, which is a quirky house in Standish. They had their ceremony at the same venue as the reception, which was great, because having everything in one venue meant more time for drinks. They chose Ashfield House because they could have the place for the whole weekend and they just fell in love with it. It was a massive family wedding, which felt so personal and authentic to them as a couple.
Read MoreApril showers are upon us and for me that means the onset of my favourite time of year: WEDDING SEASON! I'm so so excited for 2018 and what lies ahead capturing some gorgeous couples in magical settings. In celebration, I'm thrilled to share with you one of my last weddings of 2017, the very festive celebration of Rob and Carina at Manchester Town Hall (already miss this iconic venue whilst it's shut for a full 6 year renovation!) and the beautiful King Street Townhouse.
Read MoreStace and Luke got married last summer at the lovely The Mere Golf & Spa, which is an elegant venue in Knutsford. They had their ceremony at St. Mary's & St. John's in Newton-le-Willows, which was just a short drive away.
