Andy & Rebecca - Great Hall at Mains Wedding Photographer
Andy and Rebecca said I do at one of Lancashire’s finest venues, The Great Hall at Mains. Their Great Hall wedding had everything from crazy-good dancing to some of the best speeches I’ve had the pleasure of hearing.
It was such a pleasure capturing Andy and Rebecca’s wedding. They give off such warm vibes and I cannot be happier with the moments and memories I have captured for them.
Adam & Sarah - Bartle Hall Wedding Photographer - Preston
I was recently back at one of the North Wests top wedding venues, Bartle Hall, documenting the wedding of Adam and Sarah. They are such a beautiful, happy couple and along with their two awesome little dudes make a wonderfully lovely and happy family. They are all about fun and smiles and that showed throughout the day. Even when Sarah decked it late on in the day caking her dress she laughed and rocked it.
Their Bartle Hall wedding was filled with fun, laughter, Jägerbombs, mud and kids being kids. I had so much fun with them and it was such a pleasure to be back at Bartle Hall. There were so many fantastic moments throughout the day and I have picked some of my favourites below. As usual there was very minimal posing from me and I just let the day run it’s course, this allowed for much more fun and unpredictability.
Anthony & Carla - Storrs Hall Wedding Photography
ANTHONY AND CARLA’S LAKE DISTRICT WEDDING AT STORRS HALL, WINDERMERE
This was my debut visit to the magnificent Storrs Hall in Windermere. Storrs is situated on the shores of Lake Windermere in the stunning English Lake District. The venue itself is a quite fabulous and grand old country house that overlooks Lake Windermere and has simply breathtaking views of this stunning part of Cumbria.
Carla and Anthony’s Storrs Hall wedding was so much fun, from start to finish. They certainly picked a rock star cast of wedding professionals for their wonderful summer wedding on the lake. It was awesome catching up with and working alongside some fantastic suppliers for this wedding including video skills by Adam Wing, music and entertainment by the crazy talented Jennie Sawdon and The Rush. Not forgetting some ridiculous cake skills by Kelly-dee Towriess of Pink Frosting Cake Company.
LAKE DISTRICT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
After hanging out with Anthony and his groomsmen and Carla and her Bridesmaids we headed to the stunning Catholic Church of Amabilis in Ambleside for their ceremony. Anthony, Carla and their wedding party then headed back to Storrs Hall to begin the celebrations. A Lake District wedding wouldn’t be complete without a brief trip out on the lake.
Overall this was such an amazing wedding. Anthony and Carla are such a lovely, happy couple who were a pleasure to be around. It was an honour to capture their day for them.
Ben & Jenny - Lancashire Marquee Wedding Photography
Ben and Jenny tied the knot recently at the stunning St. Lawrence church in Barton, Lancashire before continuing the epic celebrations on Jenny’s family farm just down the road.
Marquee wedding’s are awesome. End of. Ben and Jenny had planned their wedding for a sunny day, with two substantial marquees, footy nets and a fairground ride. Of course the unpredictable British weather stepped in and threw us some rain just as everyone was arriving for the reception. Typical. Not that it mattered, Ben and Jenny were incredible and didn’t once complain about the weather. Instead they did what every Bride and Groom should do and not let the weather dictate their day. They smiled, they laughed, they drank, they danced and they did manage to get out and ride the fairground ride!
My day started out early doors on the farm as Father of the Bride was finishing his morning rounds with his cows. From there I made visits to the groom and his groomsmen and the bride and her bridesmaids respectively. After a beautiful and emotional ceremony Ben and Jenny set off to the farm for their reception on a spectacular old tractor and trailer. The rain didn’t dampen any spirits and with the help of the ridiculously talented Singing Waitersand host for the day Rob Falcon the guests were kept thoroughly entertained.
Overall this marquee wedding was so much fun to be a part of. Everything about it rocked from the stunning surroundings, the superb entertainment and most of all the gorgeous, fun and crazy lovely Bride and Groom.
Destination Wedding Photography in Zante – Grant and Kristina
GRANT AND KRISTINA’S DESTINATION WEDDING – ZANTE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of being flown out to the Greek island of Zante to photograph Grant and Kristina’s wedding. This so-called job of mine can be challenging at times. There’s long, unsociable hours and many of them sat staring at a computer. Saying that I can’t think of many jobs quite like it. It was sat on a boat in bright blue waters of the Mediterranean, just off the coast of Zante I came to the conclusion that my job actually is the best one I could wish for.
I spent three days in Zante for Grant and Kristina’s destination wedding. The day before the big day I was invited to join them on a boat trip. I politely accepted their invitation and took along my cameras.
On the day of the Zante wedding I met up with the groomsmen at their hotel (and waterpark) – Aqua Bay in the lovely little town of Tsilivi. Needless to say we had a good laugh with a bit of footy down at the beach before the boys hit a few of the water slides. It was a tad more chilled for Kristina and her bridesmaids. Plenty of pampering and bubbles before heading off on the short drive to their idyllic venue. Their ceremony and evening reception was held at the magnificant Porto Azzuro Beach Bar Restaurant which is located near the small town of Vasilikos, in the southeast of Zakynthos.
After a gorgeous wedding ceremony on the beach Grant, Kristina and their guests devoured delicious food, threw back plenty of alcohol and danced into the early hours. I had such an amazing couple of days with these guys. I cannot thank them enough for having me along to capture it for them. It was humbling being welcomed in by everybody and meeting some wonderful people. Grant and Kristina are so lucky to have such fantastic friends and family that made the journey with them.
It’s hard to put into words just how much fun I had at Grant and Kristina’s Zante wedding. I’m hoping that the photo’s that follow will do all of the talking for me.
Wild Boar Wedding Photography – Rick and Becky
RICK AND BECKY’S LAKE DISTRICT WEDDING AT WILD BOAR IN WINDERMERE
I was well happy to be back at the gorgeous Wild Boar in Windermere earlier this year for Rick and Becky’s wedding. Set in some beautiful surroundings the Wild Boar in Windermere has everything you could possibly want from a wedding venue. The venue itself is cosy and stylish and boasts not only quality ale but has its own smokehouse which produces some ridiculously good meat!
WILD BOAR WEDDING
My day started out following the boys down to a nearby lake for a little dip. I didn’t personally brave the water myself but it certainly looked like the boys had fun and it definitely cleared off any hangovers from the night before. The girls had a slightly more relaxed morning of pampering.
After a beautiful ceremony, the bar got busy and the celebrations continued. In true Cumbrian fashion, the rain threatened a couple of times but nothing that would put a dampener on the day.
After a journey off in the jeep with Rick and Becky for some evening portraits, the night got fully underway with music from the impressive Keytars.
Rick and Becky’s Wild Boar wedding was everything and more than a wedding should be. Thank you for letting me be a part of it
Paphos Destination Wedding Photography – Mike and Karen
PAPHOS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
It was an absolute pleasure to be back in Cyprus recently to shoot the wedding of Mike and Karen. It was my first time in Paphos, having previously shot weddings in Limassol, and I absolutely loved the place. I have been lucky enough to have captured two other Cyprus weddings over the past few years so it was awesome to be back in such a wonderful country.
Mike and Karen’s Paphos wedding had everything (and more) I have come to expect from a destination wedding. It had a gorgeous venue, wonderfully tasty food, insane light and most of all crazy-lovely people.
Mike and Karen were married at the stunning Alexander The Great Hotel. I spent the day with them, starting with the boys in the morning. We spent a little bit of time over in a local bar, playing pool and sampling the local beer. After the boys were ready I headed to meet the girls in their room for some pampering, laughter and plenty of bubbly.
Their ceremony took place on the Unity Terrace which offered gorgeous sea views. In between the drinking and celebrating I was able to steal Mike and Karen for a few portraits before they sat down to enjoy an extremely impressive wedding breakfast. As the day was drawing to an end we were treated to a blast of my favourite kind of light so we nipped down to the beach for some portraits on a rock jetti. One of which was the image at the top of this blog, which I was made up to have won a Wedisson Award for just a few weeks ago.
DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
I love shooting weddings abroad and getting to be Mike and Karen’s Paphos wedding photographer was a so much fun. Destination weddings don’t only allow me to visit new places but let me explore the culture of weddings in other countries.
I cannot thank Mike and Karen enough for flying me out to such a beautiful part of the world and giving me the freedom to tell the story of their wonderful wedding.
