On Friday we had a great day photographing Steph and Dean’s wedding at the Ramada Hotel near Chester. It was a very emotional day and Steph and Dean are such a fantastic couple, very relaxed and so much fun that taking pictures of them was a delight. All the family were very warm and friendly too which makes the day even more enjoyable!






Although wet all week, the weather for Stacy and shane’s wedding at Mere Hall in Bolton, turned out dry and sunny. Shane suited and booted looked very dapper and the lovely Stacy looked simply fabulous. With so many guests, a lot of energy was required on my part but it was fun photographing such a meticulously planned wedding day!
Just a few of the details

Loving the bright colours in this detail shot!

Here are a few of my favourites…. nearly ready, with mum and Stacy





A few portraits with Shane, best man Dean and the page boys at Mere Hall
 










Now this is a proud dad if ever I saw one!







Emotions were building up and it was hard for Shane to keep it all in

A perfect moment!

A beautiful bride!


Shane was very emotional but laughter helped!


















Grabbed a few portraits while at the venue for the carvery












More portraits of the happy couple by the canal at Worsley (and 1 coach and a whole lot of guests!)














Congratulations Stacy and Shane and thank you for being so much fun!
Although not sunny, the rain stayed at bay for this gorgeous wedding and Erica looked radiant. The ceremony at the stunning Preston Minster had a special meaning, as Erica’s Grand Father was once the Father of the parish church. A truly great day!

Found a great location for Stacy and Shane’s pre-wedding shoot, with lush green foilage and an old cobbled bridge over the canal. We had a lot of laughs and it was a lovely, dry and sunny day but terribly windy!
 

























Thank you stacy and Shane, it was a fun day out. I can’t wait to photograph your wedding day in August!
Well, how can I sum up Catherine and Andrew’s wedding day? fun! fun! fun!
The wedding day was held at Egerton House, Bolton. Catherine & Andrew are a lovely couple, Jake their little boy was adorable and the gorgeous bridesmaids were such fun!
