Andy and Rebecca said I do at one of Lancashire’s finest venues, The Great Hall at Mains. Their Great Hall wedding had everything from crazy-good dancing to some of the best speeches I’ve had the pleasure of hearing.
It was such a pleasure capturing Andy and Rebecca’s wedding. They give off such warm vibes and I cannot be happier with the moments and memories I have captured for them.
Over the Easter Holidays I met up with the Haynes, Garner and Jobe families at Ribby Hall Village in Wrea Green, Lancashire to capture some documentary family portraits. They were visiting our lovely county to spend a bit of time all together as a family and to help celebrate a special birthday. They had hired out the stunning Coach House at Ribby Hall Village and they got in touch with me to come along and capture some memories for them.
The day was fairly cold and slightly on the wet side but after I’d arrived and introductions were made we set out for a trek through the woods. Along the way we stopped off for a bit of a play on the park and the grown ups showed the kids exactly how it’s done. Yes it was muddy. Yes it was wet. Yes it was a bit windy. But it was so much fun seeing this family together laughing, playing and spending some valuable time together.
My family portrait sessions are designed to capture families being themselves. I love getting to know new families and to see firsthand the love and laughter that being all together brings.
This bunch were such a pleasure to shoot. They didn’t once complain about the mud and we didn’t stop smiling the whole time. They are such a lovely family and I’m so chuffed I have captured such precious memories for them.
Here’s a few of my favourite photos from their session…
This was my debut visit to the magnificent Storrs Hall in Windermere. Storrs is situated on the shores of Lake Windermere in the stunning English Lake District. The venue itself is a quite fabulous and grand old country house that overlooks Lake Windermere and has simply breathtaking views of this stunning part of Cumbria.
Carla and Anthony’s Storrs Hall wedding was so much fun, from start to finish. They certainly picked a rock star cast of wedding professionals for their wonderful summer wedding on the lake. It was awesome catching up with and working alongside some fantastic suppliers for this wedding including video skills by Adam Wing, music and entertainment by the crazy talented Jennie Sawdon and The Rush. Not forgetting some ridiculous cake skills by Kelly-dee Towriess of Pink Frosting Cake Company.
After hanging out with Anthony and his groomsmen and Carla and her Bridesmaids we headed to the stunning Catholic Church of Amabilis in Ambleside for their ceremony. Anthony, Carla and their wedding party then headed back to Storrs Hall to begin the celebrations. A Lake District wedding wouldn’t be complete without a brief trip out on the lake.
Overall this was such an amazing wedding. Anthony and Carla are such a lovely, happy couple who were a pleasure to be around. It was an honour to capture their day for them.
The beautiful pair that is Andrew and Hannah got married at one of the North West’s finest Ribble Valley wedding venues recently. Andrew and Hannah’s Browsholme Hall wedding was all sorts of fun. As per usual the hall was dressed to perfection and looked simply stunning. It’s always a pleasure working at Browsholme Hall and this wedding was no let-up.
The boys started the day with a bit of a kick about before getting ready and heading to the venue. The girls drank, laughed and got pampered before heading over to the Tithe Barn for the ceremony.
This was a gorgeous wedding in the heart of the Ribble Valley and was a pleasure to be there amongst some wonderful people.
Alex and Steph were married recently at one of my favourite North West wedding venues, Browsholme Hall. This gorgeous venue is situated in the heart of the Ribble Valley in Lancashire. Surrounded by insanely stunning scenery it has everything you might possibly want from a venue. Especially from a photographers perspective
I had been looking forward to this wedding for some time. Alex and Steph are a super lovely, super smiley couple who are just a joy to be around. Their Browsholme Hall wedding was a pleasure to shoot and I genuinely loved being a part of their wedding day.
After catching up with the groom and his groomsmen at a local hotel I headed into the depths of the Ribble Valley to the picturesque Browsholme Hall to capture the bridal preps. The girls were full of smiles and in great spirits as they got themselves ready for the day ahead. The ceremony in the Tithe Barn was simply stunning and the character of the old building added to such a romantic setting. Alex, Steph and their guests enjoyed delicious food from food-legends With a Twist and continued to drink, dance and laugh the night away.
Thank you for having me along as your Browsholme Hall Wedding Photographer. Here’s my highlights
Back in December I spent the day with Rick and Lizzie capturing their Eaves Hall winter wedding. I absolutely love these two! I knew that their wedding day was going to be amazing ever since we first met. Getting to know them over the past year or so has been brilliant. We got to know each other a little better when we met up last year fortheir pre-wedding shoot at Beacon Fell. I could not wait to be back at Eaves Hall, one of my all time favourite venues. Eaves Hall is situated near Clitheroe in Lancashire’s Ribble Valley. It has everything you would want in a wedding venue, beautiful grounds, breathtaking views, exclusivity and insanely good food!
I set out early to meet up with Rick and the groomsmen at The Higher Buck, a wonderful country pub in the picturesque village of Waddington. From there I head over to meet the Lizzie and her bridesmaids at Eaves Hall’s Lodge. It was another beautiful winters day in the ribble valley.
Rick and Lizzie had rounded up a dream team of wedding suppliers to help them with their day. Lizzie had theinsanely talented Flossy & Leigh on make-up duty and my good friends Flower Design had created some floral magic for them. I had the pleasure of working alongside the very talented James Wray of James Wray Weddings for the day. You can view his crazy good trailer of their wedding here – Eaves Hall Wedding Video.
The day was a happy, yet emotional one and was filled with so many beautiful moments. I always aim to give my couples a set of images that are a true reflection of their wedding day. Below are some of my favourite wedding photos from their truly gorgeous wedding at Eaves Hall.
Matt is an old college friend who I hadn’t seen in years. When he contacted me early last year to meet his beautiful fiance and check my availability for their up-and-coming wedding I was super excited. Not only were they getting married at one of the most gorgeous venues on the Fylde coast but this was going to be a double wedding! Yes you read it right, a double wedding. As in two Brides and two Grooms! After meeting up with them and hanging out at their pre-wedding shoot I was even more excited for this wedding. Matt and I were good friends back at college but then, as it happens, our lives just went in different directions. It was awesome catching up with him after all these years and seeing just how happy he is with Areej. They are perfect for each other and just being around them you get a sense of warmth and happiness.
So, the double wedding thing… the other Bride and Groom were actually Areej’s sister and her hubby-to-be. In the lead up to the wedding I really didn’t know what to expect with this, as I had only been hired to shoot Matt & Areej’s wedding. It worked out superbly and was definitely a wedding to remember.
Check out their day below…
Back at the end of July I shot the fantastic wedding of DJ and Lindsay at the gorgeous Ashton Hall in Lancaster. It was my first visit to Ashton Hall and what a stunning venue it is.
My day started out at the equally beautiful Thurnham Hall, just down the road from Ashton Hall, to shoot the bride and groom preparations. From here we headed to my home village of Poulton to the legendary St. Chads Church for the ceremony before heading to Ashton Hall. Once there DJ, Lindsay and their guests enjoyed some insanely good food, plenty of alcohol and some crazy good music from one of my favourite wedding bands The Deadbeats.
Congrats guys and thanks for having me along as your Ashton Hall Wedding Photographer
