Thornton Manor Wedding – James and Michaela

JAMES AND MICHAELA’S WEDDING AT THORNTON MANOR

James and Michaela are not only a ridiculously beautiful couple but they were an absolute pleasure to spend the day with at their Thornton Manor wedding. They chose the stunning Lakeside Marquee for their ceremony and wedding reception.

My day started, as usual, with the boys. James and his groomsmen were kicking back at a local hotel and were in great spirits. Some Fifa, beer, footy and banter followed before I head over to meet up with Michaela and her Bridesmaids. The laughter and drinking continued before heading to the Lakeside Marquee at Thornton Manor for their ceremony.

After a beautiful ceremony the guests were kept entertained by the magic genius Sean Heydon and the very talented singer Sam Harrison. Alcohol flowed and the speeches went down a treat as the day continued to get better and better. It was lovely catching up with my past Bride and Groom Matt and Areej too, who had also recommended me for this wedding.

An overall amazing day with amazing people and I’m made up with the memories I have captured for them.

New House Farm Wedding, Lake District – Leigh and Gemma

LAKE DISTRICT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY – LEIGH AND GEMMA’S WEDDING AT NEW HOUSE FARM

I love the Lake District! I’m so lucky to live so close to this beautiful part of England and even luckier to get to visit it fairly regularly to be a part of so many amazing weddings.

Leigh and Gemma are two of the most easy going people I have ever met. Gemma’s constant warming smile and Leigh’s laid-back persona made them an absolute pleasure to be around. They chose the stunning New House Farm in the Lorton Valley for the place they would marry each other. It was my first time at this venue and what a beautifully stunning wedding venue it is!

NEW HOUSE FARM, LORTON VALLEY – CREATIVE DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Situated in the north-west of the Lake District, New House Farm is filled with character and history and is a wonderful place to tie the knot. Log fires, original features, stunning scenery and the hayloft of an old converted barn are just some of what this venue has going for it.

Gemma and Leigh’s New House Farm wedding was so much fun. The rainy weather didn’t stop us getting out and enjoying some of the fifteen acres on offer. Their wedding was packed with fun, laughter, plenty of dancing and one of the best Father of the Bride speeches I’m yet to witness! It was lovely catching up with the extremely talented Chris Cook magician who was let loose to keep the guests entertained. The day’s entertainment didn’t stop there though with musical legends Hipster keeping the guests dancing the day and night away.

This Lake District wedding was a pleasure to be a part of. Grab a coffee and enjoy my highlight’s of Leigh and Gemma’s wedding…

Andy & Rebecca - Great Hall at Mains Wedding Photographer

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.

Adam & Sarah - Bartle Hall Wedding Photographer - Preston

I was recently back at one of the North Wests top wedding venues, Bartle Hall, documenting the wedding of Adam and Sarah. They are such a beautiful, happy couple and along with their two awesome little dudes make a wonderfully lovely and happy family. They are all about fun and smiles and that showed throughout the day. Even when Sarah decked it late on in the day caking her dress she laughed and rocked it.

Their Bartle Hall wedding was filled with fun, laughter, Jägerbombs, mud and kids being kids. I had so much fun with them and it was such a pleasure to be back at Bartle Hall. There were so many fantastic moments throughout the day and I have picked some of my favourites below. As usual there was very minimal posing from me and I just let the day run it’s course, this allowed for much more fun and unpredictability.

Anthony & Carla - Storrs Hall Wedding Photography

ANTHONY AND CARLA’S LAKE DISTRICT WEDDING AT STORRS HALL, WINDERMERE

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.

LAKE DISTRICT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

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.

Ben & Jenny - Lancashire Marquee Wedding Photography

Ben and Jenny tied the knot recently at the stunning St. Lawrence church in Barton, Lancashire before continuing the epic celebrations on Jenny’s family farm just down the road.

Marquee wedding’s are awesome. End of. Ben and Jenny had planned their wedding for a sunny day, with two substantial marquees, footy nets and a fairground ride. Of course the unpredictable British weather stepped in and threw us some rain just as everyone was arriving for the reception. Typical. Not that it mattered, Ben and Jenny were incredible and didn’t once complain about the weather. Instead they did what every Bride and Groom should do and not let the weather dictate their day. They smiled, they laughed, they drank, they danced and they did manage to get out and ride the fairground ride!

My day started out early doors on the farm as Father of the Bride was finishing his morning rounds with his cows. From there I made visits to the groom and his groomsmen and the bride and her bridesmaids respectively. After a beautiful and emotional ceremony Ben and Jenny set off to the farm for their reception on a spectacular old tractor and trailer. The rain didn’t dampen any spirits and with the help of the ridiculously talented Singing Waitersand host for the day Rob Falcon the guests were kept thoroughly entertained.

Overall this marquee wedding was so much fun to be a part of. Everything about it rocked from the stunning surroundings, the superb entertainment and most of all the gorgeous, fun and crazy lovely Bride and Groom.
