Yesterday the effervescent Jacqui married her sweetheart Dave in the Inglenook Suite of the GORGEOUS Rowton Hall in Chester with just a few very close family members faithfully looking on whilst their labrador (and ultimate flower girl) Mabel Pie bounded around greeting all her new best friends with her very own flower collar and goober-dog grin.

There is DELIGHT and I cannot think of another couple who embody this magic golden time than the exquisite Laura & Lewis who got married in the family embrace at the beautiful Stock Farm in Knutsford. With their gorgeous rescue pup Jack faithfully at their feet, the happy couple said their vows on the lush green lawn in front of their dearest friends and family and there was not a dry eye in sight!

Lucy & Matt - The Dreamiest, Rainy-Day Farm Wedding at Home - Lancashire Wedding Photography

Lucy & Matt have been together for what their friends will describe as forever. If you caught hteir pre-wedding session on my social media, you’ll have seen the easy, relaxed chemistry they share - a gentle camaraderie, an equal balance and a clear, electric adoration for each other that jumps out of every photo. I should have realised that their pre-wedding shoot set me up for an even greater concentration of that connection on their wedding day.

Amber & Andy - Love Always Wins (even in the rain!) - A Sale Town Hall Micro-Wedding

Today was a typical Manchester spring day - grey, torrential rain but full of laughter and joy and an attitude to embrace whatever is thrown at you.

Clare & Bobby - A Golden-Hour Woodland Wedding - Cheshire Woodland Weddings

Throughout the uncertainty of 2020 and the very gradual reopening of 2021, Clare & Bobby’s patience and persistence payed off and April 17th 2021 truly was one of the most glorious wedding days I’ve had the privilege to capture. The magical soft golden sunshine and warmer temperatures combined with a truly spectacular (and impeccably run) venue, the birdsong, the beautiful, emotional faces of close family and friends included to witness the joining of these remarkable humans was the stuff of wedding dreams.
