Katherine & Ben - Family and Feasting and Love Abounding for a Yank/Manc Oddfellows Wedding - Manchester Wedding Photography

Colorado-born Katherine met her Mancunian sweetheart Ben several years ago and they have jumped headfirst into building an unbelievable life, filled with so much joy and love - and even more so with the arrival of son Joshua just one year ago. I felt so honoured to have been chosen to capture what was ultimately an intimate family ceremony at Stockport Town Hall and a low-key wedding breakfast at Oddfellows on the Park

Abbie & Robert - An Intimate, Elegant Wedding at Home - Cheshire Wedding Photography

This beautiful, warm couple has so so much love in their lives and it was such a treat to spend an afternoon in their orbit. From the moment I walked into Abbie’s family home and was greeted by a grinning bustle of activity to the the nervy moments pre-ceremony to finally a surprise golden-hour portrait shoot and all the small sparks of magic in-between, Abbie & Rob concocted a wedding that paid tribute to their previous plans, looked ahead to the big fat soiree next year and still, though not what was originally expected, became the PERFECT wedding day of their dreams.

Emma & Dan - The Most Magical Golden Hour Family Wedding and Wine Bar Knees Up - Stockport Wedding Photography

Originally Emma & Dan had planned the massive do at an iconic Manchester venue. But with the uncertainty of restrictions looming, the day was, several times, scaled back and morphed and molded until eventually it settled into the PERFECT wedding day it became: a gorgeous, intimate family ceremony at the beautiful Stockport Town Hall followed by a laughter & gin-filled reception at the Heaton Moor wine bar, Thom’s Bar.

Sally & Chris - A Vibrant, Traditional Wedding at Home in Yorkshire (with nods to Kenya!) - Yorkshire Wedding Photography

And THIS is exactly what the effervescent Sally & wry, generous Chris did for their UNBELIEVABLE wedding day on Saturday. Sally and Chris began planning their wedding, not just in a pandemic, but from afar whilst living and working as teachers in Kenya. Immediately, the AWESOME Lucy Wright Events came on board and, despite distance and time zones, everything was smooth sailing and completely in hand

Leanne & Gareth - A Colourful, Relaxed, Country Pub Cheshire Wedding - CHeshire Wedding Photography

The new Mr. & Mrs. Whitby have been working tirelessly throughout this pandemic caring for all creatures great and small - Leanne as a physio and Gareth as a vet. Perhaps the selflessness of their chosen careers has given them a karmic leg up because the relatively insignificant hiccups to their day (their second or third date, I’ve lost track) couldn’t dampen the overwhelming joy of what was truly a spectacular wedding day.

Jacqui & Dave (and Mabel pup!)- An Intimate Mid-Week Summer Micro Wedding at Rowton Hall - Chester Wedding Photographer

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.
