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.
