Andrew & Heathers Wedding at Soughton Hall

Andrew & Heather where a joy to photograph, why because they knew just how important good images of their wedding are, and boy did they deliver. This was my first visit to Soughton Hall in Northop, and you cant help but fall in love with this stunning venue. The staff, the food, the rooms and that’s before you walk around the gardens, it really is a photographers dream venue.
This wedding was on a high when we arrived & didn’t go any lower it was just a blast from start to finish & had everything (we could even choose the best room to photograph Heather getting ready, how cools that!) all finished off with a amazing light show to really set off this beautiful venue
I hope to be working in the future with this venue & staff & have to say I am really looking forward to it.

Posted a few different images on the Classic Photography Facebook page, be a fan…. You know you want to, if only to have a nosey at what’s happening in the future.

Michael & Lisa's Wedding

Well another wedding, and another day dodging the showers, but one thing I love about our couples is that no matter the weather they still enjoy themselves totally & this was the case with Michael & Lisa and they really gave us some great shots. Their wedding was at Rainford Parish Church & the reception in the Laureate Restaurant at Kilhey Court Hotel with its views over the gardens.
Now I have to admit when we left I felt a little sorry for Michael as after a great Dads speech & a very emotional, from the heart speech by Michael he was the destroyed by a Bestmans speech including the groom singing his nemesis song, hilarious.

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)

James & Leah's wedding at Bartle Hall nr Preston

I have to say this wedding had everything apart from the weather, it was torrential all day, but it was still one of the most loving, fun weddings we have shot. James & Leah just accepted the weather because the real reason for the day was to start their new journey as man & wife, and their love for each other really made this a special wedding not only for family & friends but also Jane & myself.
James & Leah married at the impressive St Wilfrids Church in Standish & then onto Bartle Hall nr Preston, our first visit to this venue. Jane & I really enjoyed this wedding not only were James & Leah were a joy to photograph, but also the weather made us try new ideas, new angles & new techniques & for this reason this wedding will always have a soft spot in my thoughts.

Thanks to you both for a special day.Dx.

Norman & Joanna's wedding at Beeston Manor

When Jane & I left the studio for Norman & Joanna’s wedding the heavens were pouring but on arrival at Joanna’s parents the rain stopped & held off until the evening. The day was great with the guests really getting involved with just enjoying themselves & making this a day for Norman & Joanna to remember.
The reception was another new wedding venue for us, Beeston Manor in Lancashire. The owners really have put their heart & soul into this venue & chatting with them after have made a lot of sacrifices to establish their dream (That so rings true with Jane & myself).

Matt & Michelle's Wedding at Kilhey Court Wigan

Matt & Michele’s wedding took place at the historic St Thomas the Martyr church in picturesque Up Holland, parts of the church date back over 800 years (apparently??). Jane was met by a very relaxed Michelle & Henry their cute little son I met up with Matt at the church with his mates in party mood. This wedding was always going to be a laugh & really didn’t disappoint even to the point where at one moment we had to stop taking photos for laughing. The reception was at Kilhey Court Hotel with its glorious gardens the day just flowed…. Even the weather was great.

David & Jennifer's wedding at Thornton Manor

David & Jennifer’s wedding found Jane & I back at one of our fave venues, the stunning Thornton Manor. Jennifer was a joy to photograph so calm & relaxed, but not without the odd tear as she walked up the stunning aisle to meet David.
The weather was glorious & a gorgeous evening sunset turned into a great party in the grand hall. A fantastic day at a fantastic venue. Thanks go to David & Jennifer for loving the photography at their wedding as much as we did….. and I saw a ghost, but that’s another story!

Matt & Ruth married at Kilhey Court Hotel in a very relaxed but emotional day, over 200 friends & family joined them including several of our previous couples to make this a memorable day.

Madeline & Stuart’s Wedding at Rowton Hall in Cheshire.

If I was asked to describe Stuart & Madeline’s wedding I would say 90 guests all on their feet dancing & singing along with a ratpack singer, & that was just the wedding breakfast. This was a fun FUN wedding right from the start, Madeline & Stuart are a gorgeous & friendly couple & where a real joy to photograph.
The wedding took place at Rowton Hall a beautiful wedding venue in Cheshire with perfect weather & great guests this was a wedding for Jane & I to remember. One part of the day everybody was looking forward to was the speeches as Stuart had been bestman for his 3 bestmen & they were out for revenge…. & they didn’t disappoint.
Thank Stu & Maddie for a great day & the laughter.Dx
