Richard Portraits

A couple of weeks ago we did a little portrait shoot with my (Pete’s) brother around Manchester (followed by a lovely lunch – thanks Richard!).  Richard works in radio and has had a fantastic year winning a silver award in the Sony Radio Academy Awards so we’re very proud!  He is also a fantastic musician and wanted some ‘moody shots’ for a new music venture and we were more than happy to help out.  It’s a little strange trying to work with someone in your family, but we had some fun with it and got more than a few shots that we’re happy with.

By the way, if anyone is looking for a pianist or a guitarist to play at their wedding, let us know and we can pass along his details to you – we like to keep it in the family!

Jen, Adam, Squidge & Bump

This post is a shocking 7 months late…sorry Sis!  My big sister Jen was a few weeks away from giving birth to the gorgeous Lydia, who is now this big (pictures courtesy of up and coming photographer Jen Briggs!) …

…and as we don’t get the opportunity very often (they live in Qatar!) we grabbed the chance to get a few family portraits and shots of the bump!

Amy & Aaron

You may recognise Amy and Aaron from a portrait shoot we did a while ago, which was a little practice for their big day!  It definitely helped them be much more relaxed on their wedding day so it’s something we would recommend to anyone who is a little nervous about their wedding pictures!

Amy & Aaron are such a cute couple.  They are always smiling and laughing with each other, which makes our job so much easier as that is exactly what we like to capture at weddings.  They weren’t alone in this either, both families were exceptionally jolly and made us feel like we were one of the guests!  A special thank you must go to bridesmaid Rebecca, for getting us Diet Cokes from the bar all evening!

On with the pictures!

Helen & Terry

Helen and Terry got married on Saturday, one of the few days lately when it hasn’t actually rained so we were really excited to make the most of those autumnal leaves!  Helen & Terry had a stressful run up to their big day, it seemed that just about everything that could go wrong did go wrong…but thankfully the run of bad luck didn’t last and the day itself was fabulous.

Onto to the pictures…

Alison & Mark

Alison and Mark have had a whirlwind romance…meeting, falling in love, moving in together, expecting their first baby and getting married all in less than a year!  Their wedding took place on Sunday at Worsley Court House, which is such a lovely and unusual venue.  It was everything a winter wedding should be – cosy and relaxed, and the evening was topped off with a fabulous Ceilidh band who got everyone up on the dancefloor!

Gorgeous flowers
