Lawson Photography » North West Wedding Photography

Yesterday despite all the odds, Joanne & Darren were blessed with blue skies for their chic city wedding.  Also, for the first time ever there were no markets/inflatable Santas outside Manchester Town Hall!  

 

A few shots of the bridal preparations

Joanne’s accessories were gorgeous!

The bride looked positively radiant

There were no tears until the father of the bride arrived, it was such a beautiful moment he looked like the proudest dad in the world!

The town hall is one of our favourite venues to photograph, it’s so dramatic!

Darren looked very dapper (and calm!)

A beautiful ceremony, with a mixture of tears and laughter!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some portraits after the ceremony

Then we headed off to Sam’s Chop House for the reception, which was cosy and full of character!

Stunning cake!

A few shots from the speeches

The first dance…

Thank you Joanne and Darren for choosing us to photograph your beautiful wedding X

We are immensely excited to introduce a new type of album, which we are officially in LOVE with!  Kiss books are made with love in California, and feature the softest leather covers in a range of classic and funky colours.  We can’t stop looking at them they’re so pretty!

 

The kiss mark (which only appears on samples!)

This is what I like to call ‘Mulberry handbag leather’…it’s the real deal

They each have their own funky storage bag, here are some shots of them close up

We chose ‘Voluptuous Black’ and ‘Redlight Red’ for our samples, and at the same time ordered a ‘Smouldering Brown’ for a client.  We had to take a few pictures of the brown before it goes to its new home!

 

The only trouble is, now we want one in every colour! X

Over the next 6 weeks Rock Fm are running a campaign to find Lancashire’s ‘Bit of O’reet’, and along with a 5 day trip to New York, the winners will receive a portrait session with us (including a DVD of all their images and an 18″x12″ framed print).  If you are aged between 18 – 25 years and fancy entering the competition, then check out www.rockfm.co.uk for more details.

Yesterday we spent the day with our nephew Joshua; holidays are much more fun with a toddler around!  We began with some ‘organised fun’ in the form of egg painting!

 

Here we are looking very proud of our achievements!  Mine is obviously a miniature Peter Lawson

 

After a ridiculous amount of chocolate we headed off into Avenham Park so Josh could roll his egg (which is a bit of a tradition in these parts!).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope everyone had a lovely long weekend!  Does anyone else have that Monday morning feeling?! x

We covered the wedding of Karen and Chris yesterday.  Despite the weather forecast being for heavy showers, it didn’t actually rain until 9pm (by which time the dancing was well under way!).

 

A few details shot in the morning

 

The blushing bride!

 

Saint Christopher’s Church in Blackpool (which was lovely)

 

A surprisingly calm groom!

 

Loving this kiss picture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of the best confetti throwers we’ve ever seen!

 

Off to the reception at The Grand (yes I waited for the swan to be in the optimum position!)

 

Some shots of the happy couple

 

They had the most fantastic gospel choir to greet all the guests at the reception

 

The cake looked good enough to eat (thankfully we managed to resist!)

 

Lovely speeches

Congratulations Karen & Chris, have an amazing honeymoon! X
