Sarah & Thomas - AT LAST! An Intimate Bolton Town Hall Wedding - Lancashire Wedding Photography

Out of the blue in October 2021, I finally heard from Sarah who was tentatively dipping her toe back into wedding planning after so many disheartening earlier attempts.

Josh & Rebecca - An Intimate, Relaxed, Golden-Hour Holford Estate Wedding - Cheshire Wedding Photography

I’m THRILLED to share with you the STUNNING, dreamy, sun-drenched Holford Estate wedding of the wonderfully kind and sweet Rebecca & Josh. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: September weddings are my JAM. The weather is typically dry and still warm, the sun drops earlier and we get a KILLER sunset and golden hour around 7pm.
