Susie and Will were married at St. Oswald’s church in Lower Peover  and had their reception at Susie’s parents home in Smithy Green.  The day was glorious and the gorgeous details were photography heaven for me.  Again, it was lovely to see people I know.  They had an afternoon tea tent (which was my favourite) full of china tea-cups and scones.  Must give a mention to Sara Ewer – her  flowers and marquee decorations were stunning.   CS Catering did the food and canapes, Light Tech were in charge of lighting and sound and Tent and Garden supplied the fabulous marquees.  I could go on and on but I’ll let the photographs tell the story.

Helen and Dale had a wonderful wedding on the lawn at Rookery Hall.  I’m always delighted when weddings are outside because it’s such a rare event with our weather.  I met Dale and Helen last year after I had photographed their friends wedding so was very happy when they booked me for theirs.  Helen wore a beautiful Ian Stuart gown and had orange calla lilies and orchids in her bouquet.  Caroline Law did an amazing job helping them plan the wedding and creating the stationery. Dale was in a bit of a stress when I arrived because he was trying to perfect his speech. The table in his hotel room was covered with A4 paper screwed up into little balls! It’s a well known fact amongst Dale and Helen’s friends that they are a bit nuts and Dale thinks he’s a superhero (with a huge list of life threatening hobbies as evidence.)  As a surprise they had Dale’s sky diving team land on the lawn at Rookery Hall in spite of gale force winds (in the sky diving world anyway – it was just a bit of a breeze to regular people) Thanks for having me you two – it was fantastic to spend the day with you and I’m looking forward to County Bride Magazine coming out in August with your wedding as one of the real wedding features.

Laura and Howard enjoyed one of the many sunny days in May for their gorgeous wedding at the Inn at Whitewell.   Jane from Flower Design created stunning bouquets and decorated the marquee beautifully.  Samantha Kay did the girl’s make-up and managed to stay calm despite the chaos.  Surefire Magic entertained the guests during the day with some amazing close-up tricks. Paul Guard performed during the evening and was fantastic as always and my husband Will (True Story Wedding Films) made a beautiful film for them.

Rachael & Jon had a glorious day for their Stanley House wedding.   Linda from the Flower Shop in Clitheroe made the venue look even more beautiful with stunning flower arrangements. Just Cupcakes made a delicious mountain of pink and cream cupcakes (look at the little flower girl’s face)  and All That Jazz entertained everyone in the evening.  My lovely husband Will, (True Story Wedding Films) created a beautiful film for them – click the link below to see a short clip.

Dawn and Freeman had a wonderful May wedding at Hoole Hall in Chester.  Some of their guests had been at other weddings I have photographed so it was great to see them again.  It was lovely to share such an emotional and fun day with you both  -  thanks again for having me.  Here are a few of my favourites…
