    Some photographers produce great pictures, but require you to pose for several hours in order to get them.  We produce incredible images  without posing you too much, allowing you to spend more time with your family and friends. It is a skill we have developed over the past 14 years as wedding photographers!

Both my Wife … the one who takes a bad photo ! …. and I are delighted with the output of your efforts and the speed which you processed and artistic visualisation is first class.

Wedding of Ruth and Iain Richards – St Mary’s, Alsager, Cheshire

The second wedding of the weekend saw us photographing the wedding of Ruth and Iain at St Mary’s church in Alsager, Cheshire followed by a reception in a marquee at the brides fathers house. We stsrted the day at the fantastic White Lion Pub set in lovely Cheshire countryside where we photographed the groom having his ‘final pint’ as a free man! After the church ceremony we drove to the brides family home where a large marquee had been set up on the lawn. This was a large wedding with over 120 guests and 30 children! Fortunately the weather was kind to us – it only started raining as the guests sat down to eat. Some pictures from the memorable day are below.

The Wedding of Jennifer and Danny – Worsley Church and Ramada Hotel, Manchester

Last weekend saw us photographing another two weddings. The first took place at the lovely Worlsey Parish church near Manchester and The Ramada Hotel. The church is Worlsey is great as it is situated just across the road from a beautiful canal which is perfect for wedding photographs. The weather was great and the bride and groom looked lovely. The arival at the Ramada Hotel, Manchester was very delayed however due to traffic caused by the ‘Gay Pride’ festival in Manchester city center so unfortunately there wasn’t much time for pictures at the hotel. A few examples from the wedding can be seen below.

Wedding of Jill and Michael Hunt – Red Hall Hotel, Bury

Our wedding on Saturday saw us driving 50 miles up to North Lancashire for the wedding of Jill and Michael Hunt. The wedding venue was new to us so it was an exciting day (we rarely photograph weddings at venues we haven’t been to before).

The day started in traditional style with us photographing the bride at home and then ‘the boys’ in a pub close to the Church ( St Annes in Turton) prior to the church ceremony. Thinks then got interesting as the happy couple wanted some photographs ‘in the hills’ on the way to the hotel, so we followed the wedding car to 2 local beauty spots before arriving at the newly refurbished Red Hall Hotel. (The groom – an avid Liverpool FC fan wasn’t too pleased to be greeted by a picture in reception of the opening ceremony being performed by non other than……. Alex Ferguson!)

My assistant (not the usual Danielle, but the capable Phil) left at 4pm leaving me to stay to photograph the eveing guests arriving. Jill informed me that there was no need for the pictures to be online the following day (a service we usually provide) as they were going away on honeymoon the following morning. This enabled me to do another photography job on the way home – at a charity find-raising event in Cheshire for our troops in Afghanistan (pictures to follow)

Thanks to Jill and Michael for allowing me to share their great day (and giving me the chance to tick off yet another Lancashire wedding venue)

A few photographs from the wedding can be seen below.
