Leanne & Andrew's Lakeside Wedding on The Wirral
/
Leanne & Andrew tied the knot in the beautiful St. Andrew's church just at the bottom of their road. It was a rainy start to the day but we all had our fingers crossed that the sun would come out later on. After the ceremony it was still chucking it down so the newly wed's made a fittingly grand exit through a shower of confetti!
Next stop was the Lakeside Marquee at Thornton Manor on the Wirral, by the time everyone arrived the rain was coming down thick and fast so everyone piled into a Pinterest worthy marquee to start off the celebrations. We decided to start shooting the groups inside as it was too wet to drag everyone out in their wedding finery - but after 10 minutes the skies magically cleared so Leanne, Andy & I raced out to shoot their portraits!
The Lakeside has the perfect photo worthy locations all within a few metres of the Marquee! The flowers were in full bloom and the grey skies didn't dampen how beautiful the surroundings were. The weather continued to get better and better throughout the day & the sun even made a evening appearance!
James & Rosie's Winter Wedding at Thornton Manor
/
I spent the whole of January itching to shoot James & Rosie's wedding at Thornton Manor. I had six long weeks without a wedding which I thought was going to be great, but in reality after a week or two, all I wanted to do was get back to work! And what a perfect wedding it was to kick start 2017!
I arrived at Thornton Manor early so I could scout out the grounds and get some shots of the hall. The sun was beaming and the sky was that perfect blue colour that we don't see as often as we would like, it was the perfect Winters day.
As the girls were sipping champagne in their suite, I headed out ready to catch James & his best man arriving. Rosie had won some serious wife points and surprised James that morning with a bright red, super stylish E-Type Jag. Now I'm not a huge car enthusiast but this car was undeniably cool!
It was one of those weddings that no matter which direction you looked in, everyone was having fun. As the evening came we headed out with sparklers to honour those who couldn't be there, then it was back inside to continue the celebrations, complete with one of the best first dances I've ever witnessed, a surprise Beyonce tribute from one of the bridal team & a grandma who owned the dancefloor!
