Once again we found ourselves back at The Mere Court Hotel in Knutsford, Cheshire (it feels like our second home we are there so often!), this time for the wedding of Nick and Emma Bone.
The Mere Court Hotel is one of our favourite wedding venues in Cheshire as it is just so perfect for wedding photographers. The staff are simply the best, the building is characterful and beautiful and the grounds simply stunning.
The wedding on Saturday was a colourful affair, with the bridesmaids wearing bright blue and the guys were almost all in kilts (good job the weather was warm!)
It was an early start for us as ‘en-route’ to photograph the bride at her mums house in Radcliffe we stopped off in Sale at the florists to pick up the flowers to take to the bride. It was the least we could do as it was the florist who recommended us having seen us photograph a wedding two years ago. A few minutes were spent photographing the bride as she prepared for the big day (we never intrude too long) before heading to the Axe and Cleaver pub in Dunham Massey to photograph the guys.
Emma arrived at the church looking fantastic and was led into the church by a Scottish piper (a nice touch). The ceremony was wonderful with the ‘stand-in’ vicar at St Mary’s, Dunham Massey giving a light-hearted and funny atmosphere to the proceedings. (So refreshing and a far cry from the ‘stale’, stuffy ceremonies we sometimes sit through!)
After the ceremony the bride left for The Mere Court Hotel where the celebrations carried on into the night.
Thank you Emma and Nick (and your families) for allowing us to share your special day with you.
Below are a few pictures taken during the day – we hope you like them.
Have a great honeymoon and speak to you again on your return.
