Snow White and her Groom – this image was taken at Farington Lodge during the frequently lousy weather we had over the winter months of early 2013. In fact this was taken on the 22nd April. Due to the frequent snow showers that had taken place throughout the year up until this point, I had the distinct impression that Kerry would be disappointed if there
Meet Teerisara and Uladzimir, on a rather cold and damp October day at Ribby Hall in Wrea Green. This was actually the last shot of the day and I’m happy with the result. We’d already sauntered through the ground taking images near trees and elevated wooden buildings, and all to good effect. However, the last image was to be taken in front of the fountain, with
I remember a time when all my brides wanted sunny days, or at the very least, it had to be dry. Now? Well, I seem to predominantly have brides who want stormy looking skies and darker days. They want something different for their album, something memorable. Paula and Craig were no different; the day swung from sunshine in the morning, through stormy skies mid afternoon,
I love weddings. The people, the atmosphere, the day. It’s all good! My favourite bit? Well that has to be the informal bridal portrait session between the wedding breakfast and the evening reception.

I was lucky enough to be asked to photograph the wedding of a couple who are good friends of mine, Matt and Lucy. OK, so it tends to up the ante a bit, as friends tend to have higher expectations. And lets face it, we want to do the very best we can for our friends and family. Mind you, there was a little more
There are times when I photograph a bride and groom during the informal portrait session, when their caharacter really comes to the fore. Laura and Matt certainly fit into this category, and I enjoyed every minute of their company.
There are times when you look at a particular setting during the day, and think “Hmmmmm, s’pose it’ll do.” and you leave it at that. This was one such area at the Red Hall Hotel in Bury, all brand spanking new and early in the day it seemed uninspiring. However, as the light started to fade a little, it took on a whole new character
Calthwaite Hall is a beautiful location for a wedding, and as such, I had been asked to photograph their wedding brochure. Calthwaite Hall was originally built out of cut stone in 1837, and was designed in the Elizabethan style.
One of my more interesting wedding venue brochure shoots just lately, was Park Hall near Chorley. I’ve already covered the general shoot in a previous blog entry, but this one is to do with one of my favourite features of the hotel.
Winter weddings can be very challenging. If the weather’s good, chances are, it’ll still be incredibly cold. This wedding was on the 14th January, and whilst we had watery sunshine, it was absolutely bitter.
