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.

Tatton Park wedding photography │ Kerri and Chris

6th August 2011

I was so glad that Kerri and Chris chose me to be their Tatton Park wedding photographer because this is one venue that had so far eluded me.  I knew after meeting up at Tatton that time would be a limiting factor for all the pictures I had in my mind.  The gardens close-by are a treat but go a little further and a whole new world opens itself up to you.  Now if only Tatton would put a golf buggy or two at the photographer’s disposal ………

Cheshire wedding photographer │ Tara and Danny

30th July 2011

I was Georgina and Barry’s Sandhole Oak Barn wedding photographer last year and Tara was one of Georgina’s bridesmaids.  Tara and Danny were so enthusiastic about my pictures they chose me to do their Cheshire wedding photography two weeks later. Neither of them are camera shy so I knew I was off to a flying start!

I met up with Tara and Danny at Tara’s parents’ house a month before the wedding to get an idea of the lie of the land and the final timetable for the day.  A glass (or two!) of wine and three hours later I think I had a fair idea.  The marquee was going to be there and that huge tree in the middle of the lawn wasn’t going to be there!  I think that was the plan.  No, really, all was clear, and I was really looking forward to using Dad’s beautifully restored gypsy caravan as a prop. Best of all the wheat fields down the lane should by then be golden.

Adlington Hall wedding photography │ Katherine and Paul

1ST May 2011

Katherine and Paul chose me to be their Adlington Hall wedding photographer on 1st May.  Like Laura and Ben whose Statham Lodge wedding photographer I had been the previous month, Katherine and Paul had been at both of the Cobley weddings (your cheque is in the post guys!) so we already knew each other quite well.  At our pre-wed meet I also discovered that we’d both been on holidays to New Zealand and were knocked out not only by the landscape, naturally, but also by the little things such as the live green-lipped mussels you could buy in many supermarkets, and by the great coffee you can get at anywhere, with not a Starbucks or Café Nero in sight.

It was another warm and sunny day, though a little hazy cloud cover to soften the harsh light would have been welcome. (Some photographers are never satisfied!).  I don’t normally mention flowers but I thought the colour combinations in Katherine’s bouquet were particularly lovely. After the wedding at St. Anne’s in Sale the bacon butties came round to keep everyone fuelled up, a brilliant idea when the ceremony falls around lunchtime and eating beforehand would have been just too early for lunch.

Statham Lodge wedding photographer │ Laura and Ben

4TH April 2011

I hadn’t done any Statham Lodge wedding photography for a couple of years, (though plenty of Cheshire wedding photography), and though it was only early April, the daffodils were already out and we could not have been blessed with a finer day.  Being surrounded on all sides by attractive and well-managed gardens Statham Lodge always was a versatile venue and it has now been further improved with the addition of more ornamental features.

Laura and Ben chose me to be their Cheshire wedding photographer after they were guests at Michelle and Alastair Cobley’s wedding in 2010, loved the pictures I took for them and were impressed by my relaxed and easy-going manner.  They were also guests at Rachel and Julian’s Cobley’s wedding in 2007.
