Sunday took me over to Nottingham for the wedding of Kate and James at the wonderful Thrumpton Hall and a nice surprise…….. the sun came out to play.  We had all prepared for rain and grey skies, but Kate and James started their married life under mostly blue sky and sunshine.  The couple had both the ceremony and reception at this stunning wedding venue.  A big thank you to Lyn from Thrumpton Hall, who made me feel very welcome and was really helpful on the day.

Being a Cheshire wedding photographer, it was nice to get out to a totally new venue in a new area of the country. It’s always a challenge and I look forward to exploring any new wedding venues, finding all those great little spots inside and out to capture new shots to add to my wedding photography portfolio.

Moving onto the wedding celebrations, and the ceremony was held in one of Thrumpton Hall’s traditional rooms, and was an intimate ceremony complete with real life fire place gently crackling away and big windows overlooking the lake.

The stunning grounds of Thrumpton make it easy for wedding photographers to provide a natural and relaxing environment for the wedding photography, and it was a joy to work with Kate and James.

After the ceremony we moved over to Thrumpton’s marquee, which is one of the best I have been in.  Provided by Bond Marquees, it was the perfect mix of traditional wedding ceremony venue and modern reception facilities.  I was extremely spoiled and was provided with a great meal from Helen from Maverick Venues, who did the catering which was delicious.

The party started early into the evening with Kate and James’ band performing their first dance song.

So there we have it, a great wedding day, brilliant couple, stunning weather, amazing wedding venue and a very happy wedding photographer – why would I want to do anything else???

Onto the photos…….

My latest Cheshire Wedding saw me head over to Statham Lodge, a stunning wedding venue in the heart of Cheshire which is always a popular wedding venue.  It was Carly and Stevens big day, and although the day started off with rain, we managed to grab some time outside to get the photos they wanted.  Carly and Ste were both an absolute dream to work with, with Carly particularly mastering the seductive pout for some of the more dramatic shots at the end.  I had already done an engagement photoshoot with them and so it was a very easy day for me.

The Staff at Statham Lodge were terrific and I was very well looked after which is always nice. 

So onto the photos and it was off in the morning to visit Carly as she was getting ready……….

I have been so busy recently I have not had chance to blog some of my latest work and so I thought I would start with Melanie and Craig’s wedding at the Melbourne View Hotel in Melbourne.  I had the pleasure of spending a very sunny and relaxing day with Melanie and Craig for their intimate wedding at the Melbourne View Hotel. I had a great time with this brilliant couple and all their guests and it was a pleasure to be able to be their wedding photographer.

So onto the photos………

I had the pleasure of spending a lovely and very sunny day with Laura and Charlie recently for their wedding in Alderley Edge, in the heart of Cheshire.  Although we were forcast rain for the day, the weather was great, very sunny and the guests got to enjoy the relaxing grounds of the hotel.  I was up bright and early to meet Laura at her parent’s house, where the girls were all busily getting ready……..
