Saddleworth Hotel wedding photographer │ Gemma and Matt

18th December 2011

Gemma and Matt were hoping for a little snow to add that extra sparkle to their winter wedding and they literally got it by the truck load!  Their snow-capped wedding was held at the fabulous Saddleworth Hotel just a week before Xmas and I for one thought I’d never make it after experiencing the heaviest of snow falls the day before.  Being a winter wedding photographer always poses new challenges, especially with Lancashire wedding photography,and the stunning backdrops around the hotel meant I was amply rewarded for my efforts.

Manchester Town Hall wedding photographer │ Laura and Peter

29th October 2011

I was a Manchester wedding photographer again at the end of October for Laura and Peter’s Manchester Town Hall wedding photography.  Laura and Pete charmed the pants off me when we first met up in 2010 and so it was at our pre-wed meet nine months later when I was greeted like a long-lost friend. Their warmth brings out the best in people and the Registrar (Manchester Registrars are tops!) made their ceremony so unique and heart-warming that I have to admit to fighting back the tears at times.

Manchester MOSI wedding photography │Suchira and Mark

24th September 2011

I believe I have the distinction of being one of the world’s first ever Manchester Museum of Science & Industry wedding photographers.  The MOSI is well known throughout the North West as a leading museum attraction and also as a corporate conference venue but weddings are new to them.  A bit like the wheel, you wonder why they hadn’t thought of it before, because they can provide a unique experience like no other which appeals on many different levels.

I love being a Hindu wedding photographer so I was really pleased Suchira and Mark chose me.  Hindu wedding photography is very colourful and the ceremony so symbolic it can be easily understood by all creeds. The getting ready pictures are such fun to shoot and Suchira’s were all that I’d hoped for.

Cheshire wedding photographer │ Nicole and Matthew

17th September 2011

More Cheshire wedding photography for me, this time as a marquee wedding photographer in Cheshire.  With so many couples getting married at a “sensible” age it made a refreshing change to photograph a younger wedding for a change.  There’s always that feeling of slight unpredictability that keeps you on your toes.  Sure as fate when I arrived for Nicole’s getting ready pictures both her parents were casually pottering about, blissfully unaware of the time (Dad still in shorts and wellies!),  sorting out the final details in and around the marquee.  Nicole’s parents have an absolutely fabulous property, with woodland, lawn and meadow spread over several acres, making this the perfect setting for their daughter’s marquee wedding photography.

Saddleworth Hotel wedding photographer │ Jennifer and Nathan

3rd September 2011

This was my first Saddleworth Hotel wedding photography for over a year and my and how things have changed! The new extension is a spectacular success in every sense, with Anthony’s trademark quirky detailing adding the wow factor that makes this venue a cut above the rest. The execution is first class, with black marble flooring throughout. Downstairs there is a grand baronial fireplace, with fine wood panelling cladding the walls. Upstairs the look is sleeker, and the high-tech lighting system is a real talking point. Brilliant!

I was a Lancashire wedding photographer for Jennifer and Nathan in early September. Jennifer readied herself at the nearby Cherry Clough Cottages and wore a very pretty dress with beautiful flower detailing around the single shoulder strap and neckline. St. Chad’s in Saddleworth was only a short distance away and the upstairs gallery which runs on all three sides gave me some different angles to work with.
