Some Nice Words, Thank You Sam & Andrew

Thanks to Sam & Andrew for the nice letter we received

Wedding Photography at West Tower: Jonathan & Amy

When it comes to a wedding preparation is everything & the Fulsters are experts at organising a wedding (even down to toilet breaks). Its always a joy to photograph people who over the years have been involved with your business and this wedding proved that point as we photographed Amy's sisters wedding a few years ago and following on from this Jonathan & Amy's wedding didn't disappoint, another great wedding. Amy had the blingiest shoes ever with a stunning dress to match and the look on Jonathan's face as she walked up the aisle with a proud Dad was priceless. The reception was at West Tower, a venue that is turning into a second home for us but then again it is a gorgeous place & add to this beautiful sunlight and boy we shot some beautiful images of Amy & Jonathan and the great atmosphere this wedding had.After some great speeches (to a tough audience as Amy's Dad would agree ;)) it was party time with a brilliant 1st Dance choreographed by themselves that was very funny and got the party going till the early hours.

Thanks to the wedding committee for all their hospitality, another great wedding D&J x

West Tower Wedding Photography: Gareth & Joanne

West Tower in Aughton is one of my all time fave wedding venues add to that a great Bride & Groom in the gorgeous Gareth & Joanne then images like these are easy. One of the best parts of their wedding was meeting up with past Bride & Grooms & friends, these are the little things that make our job worthwhile.I have to say the staff at West Tower are fantastic and the day ran so smoothly and Gareth & Joanne where a joy to photograph and made for some special images. I hope you like as much as I do.

Wedding Photography at West Tower: James & Laura

Another beautiful warm sunny day & we were shooting James & Laura's wedding at West Tower one of my favourite venues (just as well were seem to be at West Tower every other week). The ceremony took place at one of the most picturesque churches I have seen, Lathom Chapel on the estate of Lathom Hall. Surrounded by flowers & the Lancashire countryside it was a special venue & a very funny vicar keeping the packed church entertained.

Wedding Photography at West Tower: Stephen & Nicky

When I first met Stephen & Nicky and as they talked me through their dream wedding day & how it would run I thought to myself ‘ if half of what they had planned worked then this would be a wedding to remember’ well guess what EVERYTHING ran exactly as they wished. My brief was to photograph a wedding based on a vintage English garden party and as Stephen & Nicky arrived at West Tower in the most gorgeous MKii Jaguar (oh what a car) we where greeted by what can only be described as your dream vintage English Garden Party complete with band, games, picnic table, bunting…. So many things you didn’t know where to start. As guests enjoyed the party we slipped off for photos in a nearby cornfield where Stephen & Nicky’s love just shone, oh & regarding thinking of everything what about the shoes… will they get dirty … oh no!!! Nicky had organised some personalised Converse trainers!!! My god they thought of EVERYTHING!
One of my Highlights of the year was handing Stephen & Nicky a few props & saying ‘show me your personality’ WOW! What fun.

Thanks Stephen & Nicky for a memorable day, as much as I hate using cheesey words… your wedding rocked. Dx

West Tower for Frank & Samantha's Wedding

Wedding photography at West Tower in Aughton is always a joy but this wedding was extra special.Samantha was Chief Bridesmaid for her sister Louise when she was married to Damien at West Tower so it was an extra honour when Frank & Samantha asked Jane and myself to photograph theirs (phew no pressure). This was a very emotional wedding, just how I like them, with Sam being escorted up the aisle by her Mum & a speech by Louise all in the gorgeous surroundings of West Tower & Frank & his Bestman & mates providing a good bit of banter.All in all a great day.

Thanks Frank & Samantha for a super day, your love made for some special images. Dx

Keith & Lisa's Wedding at West Tower Country House

Jane & I had been looking forward to this wedding ever since the pre wedding shoot we did nearly a year ago with Keith & Lisa. The venue for their wedding was West Tower, one of the most gorgeous venues in the north west. There is so much as a photographer you can do here, the staff are super helpful & food is fantastic. Both Keith & Lisa looked amazing and were a joy to photograph ( and her mum makes a mean bacon barm aswell,happy days)

Check out our facebook page & be a fan to see more stunning images from their wedding

Ian,Louise and Georgie...Gorgeous

Normally the Bride is the star of the show but have to say there was nearly an upset as Ian & Louise’s gorgeous daughter Georgie arrived in her dress. Our second home West Tower for this emotional wedding with personal vows from a gorgeous couple having all in tears and again the weather didn’t let us down, no snow, in fact some guests didn’t know what all the snow fuss was about.
For me the highlight was again the speeches, with a really funny poem given by Ian’s dad & a great Bestman’s speech by Ian’s brother all the way from Australia (yes he said it was cold) all finished by a great evening started by a casino from pier casinos, great company, great food, great casino, great fun, what more do you need…..red 14..red 14…red 14…damn!!!!

Michael & Lisa's Wedding at West Tower

Talk about all the seasons at once, when we woke the morning of Michael & Lisa’s wedding it was thick freezing fog, as we left it was the most perfect winters day. Our brief was relaxed & informal as Michael is not a fan of having his photo taken (but then again neither do I) but I have to say hats to a fantastic couple whose warmth really touched both Jane & myself. West Tower was the venue for this wedding & looking magnificent after its refit (foods amazing aswell) and made for great images as always.
One of my fave images of the day was as we were shooting the room layout & Michael just grabbed Lisa & hugged & kissed the light was just flooding through the window & the image sums up these two perfectly, just in love.

West Tower with Gareth & Christina

Its always a joy to photograph a wedding when you have been recommended to the Bride & Groom & even better when the original couple are involved with the day.A very calm Christina was having final makeup done when we arrived and we were greeted by Mike & Nicola (Brides Brother & Sister in law) who's wedding we shot a few years ago great to see them again.Gareth & the lads arrived at St Teresa’s Church in Up Holland, this church has the friendliest priest I’ve ever met.Another beautiful sunny day as Christina arrived ‘fashionably late’ but was worth the wait,stunning.
On to West Tower in the picturesque town of Augton,we seem to have quite a few booking here this & next year but hey not complaining it’s a stunning venue & really helpful staff (& Peroni lager, result!!!).West Tower has so many great places for wedding photography & the lighting on the day was great.Again superb speeches in a fantastic room, great coordination by these two the whole day was fantastic.

Yes Nicola I have recovered after coffee in a LFC mug,just!!!
