Arley Hall Wedding Photography - Matt & Sarah

Arley Hall Wedding Photography

My first visit to Arley Hall was for this beautiful wedding. Matt and Sarah clearly chose their wedding venue well as Arley Hall is pretty much as good as you can get from a wedding venue. Their Arley Hall wedding was a delight to be a part of and pleasure to capture for them.

Arley Hall is packed with history dating back hundreds of years making it a spectacular setting for a wedding. The grounds are perfectly manicured and were so much fun to explore with Matt and Sarah to create some gorgeous portraits.

Matt and Sarah’s Arley Hall Wedding was a joy to photograph and I can’t wait to be back there again soon.

The Oak Tree of Peover Wedding - Jamie & Abi

Oak Tree of Peover Wedding Photography

It was a pleasure to be back at the absolute beaut of a wedding venue, The Oak Tree of Peover for the wedding of Jamie and Abi. This stylish yet rustic venue sits serenely in the Cheshire countryside.

I loved every part of Jamie and Abi’s wedding day, from the beautiful ceremony amongst the wooden beams and floods of natural light to their outdoor drinks reception and intimate wedding breakfast.

Exploring this rustic wedding venue with Abi and Jamie was so much fun. We wandered through the estate and created some fabulously striking and emotive couples portraits.

I’m very much looking forward to photographing more gorgeous weddings at The Oak Tree of Peover.

Oak Tree of Peover Wedding Photography - Mark and Lisa

Mark and Lisa’s Wedding at The Oak Tree of Peover

The lovely Mark and Lisa were married at the beautifully rustic Oak Tree of Peover in the heart of Cheshire. Surrounded by stunning countryside this tranquil wedding venue is a gem and I loved photographing my first ever wedding there.

Mark, Lisa and their wonderful guests provided me with so many moments to document throughout a perfect wedding day. There was plenty of hugging, smiles, tears, laughter and dancing. The venue was joy to shoot in, packed with natural light and surrounded by countryside. What more could I ask for.

Weddings - 2019 Highlights

Best of 2019 Weddings

The end of yet another brilliant year in this fascinating and extremely rewarding job. Whenever I speak to people about weddings I always get a feeling of satisfaction and still, 11 years on, feel very privileged to call this my job. Documenting peoples lives and their families is the best part of photographing weddings, in my opinion. Of course creating stunning portraits is so much fun but those photos of family and friends are the memories my couples treasure the most. My main aim this coming year is to keep working hard on the documentary side of wedding photography. Since writing this blog, at the start of 2020, I have picked up a ‘This is Reportage’ award for one of my photographs. TiR is solely for documentary wedding photography and is an international competition with only 4% of entries winning in each round. This was a great start to my 2020, one that I’m hoping can get even better.

2019 was another year photographing some wonderful people in some simply amazing wedding venues. If I photographed your wedding in 2019 then thank you so much for putting your faith and trust in me. Looking forward to 2020 I have so much to be grateful and excited for. If I am photographing your wedding this year then I cannot wait to be a part of it! I have got so many brilliant weddings to look forward to this year.

As always this blog is not to showcase my ‘best of’ 2019 yet more like some of my personal wedding highlights. I have been involved in some brilliant weddings and the photos that follow are just some of my memories of those awesome wedding days.

Thanks 2019. An extremely cracking year.

Are you planning a 2020 or 2021 wedding?? If so I’d love to hear from you.

Sandhole Oak Barn Wedding Photography - Matt and Jenny

Matt and Jenny’s Wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn

Matt and Jenny’s wedding sums up everything I love about about my job. Their Sandhole Oak Barn wedding was an absolute joy to be a part of. Firstly Matt and Jenny are themselves such lovely, warming characters who make everyone around them feel happy. Their wedding was filled with like minded individuals. Add into this an incredible wedding venue, a stunning summers day, lawn games and lots of alcohol and you have a wedding to remember!

Summer Wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn

I love Sandhole Oak Barn. It’s one of those venues that looks amazing no matter what the weather decides to do. Luckily for Matt and Jenny their summer wedding was a sunny one. This meant we could play lawn games, drink on the verandah and enjoy exploring the surrounding grounds creating some amazing golden-hour portraits.

My day started out with Matt and his groomsmen where the laughter was rife. Matt has a such a pleasant demeanour and bares a constant smile on his face. Jenny is very much the same and the time I spent with her and her bridesmaids was equally as fun. I could tell from the off we were in for a good day.

The rest of the day panned out as well as I guess the newlyweds would have dreamed. Fun, laughter and general merriment ensued.

It was lovely working alongside the fantastic Top Table Events and Sid and Olive who made everything look amazing run smoothly.

Sandhole Oak Barn Summer Wedding Photography - Chris and Leanne

CHRIS AND LEANNE'S SUMMER WEDDING AT SANDHOLE OAK BARN, CHESHIRE.

Chris and Leanne's summer wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn in Cheshire was certainly one to remember. It was a day jam packed with sun, fun and plenty of awesome people! 

They had picked a selection of brilliant wedding suppliers to make their wedding a cracking day. My good friends at Flower Design were responsible for the amazing flowers on show. It was great catching up with and watching Robin Kershaw from DFC who did an amazing job hosting the day. I also had a top day working along side my old friend Mark from Studio54D who was on video duty. 

I had such a great day hanging out with Chris, Leanne and their two little dudes. They picked such a stunning venue in Sandhole Oak Barn. Everything about this venue rocks! 

This wedding had it all, laughter, emotion, beauty and so much more. 

Grab a brew and check out their day below. 

2017 Wedding Highlights

2017 WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS

Looking back through my weddings from 2017 was a brilliant reminder of what a cracking year it has been. Filled with moments of laughter, beauty and pure emotion. I have always strived to better myself as a photographer by hunting for moments and trying to capture emotion in my images. For me documenting weddings has been always been about enjoying what I do. If I can tell a story for my couples whilst shooting moments that make me smile then I'm doing a good job. Real moments are the heart and soul of every wedding.

Looking through the weddings I shot in 2017 and trying to narrow down all the thousands of images I took was so hard. The following 200 images are just some of my favourites from 2017. They may not be perfect but each one makes me smile, either from the moment, the people or the memory of where and when it was taken.

Another top year. Here's to 2018.

Sandhole Oak Barn Wedding Photography - Jonathan and Katie

JONATHAN AND KATIE'S WEDDING AT SANDHOLE OAK BARN, CHESHIRE.

Sandhole Oak Barn is one of those venues that seems to have evaded me over the years. I have been excited to shoot here for some time and what a wedding this was to pop my Sandhole cherry. Jonathan and Katie are so lovely and have such a great bunch of people surrounding them. 

SANDHOLE OAK BARN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Set in the stunning Cheshire countryside Sandhole Oak Barn is such an incredible wedding venue. I was lucky enough to spend the day here capturing Katie and Jonathan's Sandhole Oak Barn Wedding.  

Drinks flowed, the weather was more than kind and a there was plenty of laughter and particularly bad dancing. Mix this with serious amounts of love, a killer venue and some ridiculous skills from the North Wests top DJ - Andy Murphy and you've got one hell of a wedding!
