Our third wedding of last week was a great one! We photographed the wedding of Claire and Luke at St Mary's church in Astbury followed by the reception at The Tytherington Club near Macclesfield in Cheshire.
We started the day by visiting the bride as she prepared for the big event. The weather was perfect (for the bride, not for wedding photographers as the sky was clear and the bright sun low in the sky at this time of year) and the atmosphere at the house was relaxed and fun.
I had a new assistant with me. It was the first time that Paul had worked with Northwest Photography – but I need not have worried, his pictures were fantastic. We will be using him a lot more in the future I am sure!
The ceremony at the old and characterful St Mary's Church was like a breath of fresh air. The wedding was taken by a vicar who seemed to actually care about the bride and groom and made the wedding personal and fun.
After the ceremony we headed to The Thytherington Club in Macclesfield, Cheshire for the reception. The club had laid on two golf buggies so the bride and groom could travel the short distance to the lake on 9th hole for some romantic pictures. Of course a lot of fun was had driving the buggies containing a bride and groom!
The Tytherington Club is not a venue we visit often but for wedding photographers it is great. The vast open spaces and beautiful Cheshire countryside make wedding photography very easy.
It was made even easier by the fact we had such a lovely bride and groom and such great guests.
Thank you to Claire and Luke for making us so welcome on your special day.
A few pictures from the wedding can be seen below along with a short video montage (which we provide on a disc to all wedding couples so they can copy it and send it to their wedding guests along with the thank-you cards)
