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…

So many shoes!

Helen looked totally gorgeous, and we were loving her veil!

This little lady was stealing the limelight a little though!

There was just enough time for some quick portraits…

We wanted to take this veil home with us, it’s so awesome!

"Hollywood Bride"!

Off to St Bartholomew’s church to see Terry…

A few moments with his best man…

Here she comes!

So cute!

I love the supportive hand on the shoulder!

 

We had to get a couple of portraits in front of that fantastic door!

Before we headed to the amazing gardens across the road!

Such an amazing spot!

Handsome groom…

Beautiful bride…

Amazing cake!

The speeches were so much fun, though poor Terry’s speech had managed to go missing in the course of the day!  he handled it brilliantly though and you would never have known!

 

A few from the first dance…

Thanks Helen and Terry for sharing your day with us! X

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

Beautiful dress…

Alison not only had some fabulous dainty shoes, but also some trainers for later!

I love this next one!

Cheers!

Totally stunning!

Meanwhile Mark was feeling a little nervous!

Everyone was so excited to see the bride!

Ceremony time…

Such a beautiful venue

After the ceremony we ran outside for a few pictures (in the rain!) before it went dark…

Love this one!

Working it!

They are so adorable

The cake (well cake and cupcakes!) was AMAZING and made by Alison’s Mum and Mark’s sister!

I am completely in love with this next one!

A few shots from the speeches…

And finally a few from the first dance…

 

Congratulations Alison and Mark, and thank you for a wonderful day! X

On Saturday we had the pleasure of hanging out with the Carter family.  Despite being a little bit under the weather, this little guy managed to pull off a few smiles for the camera!

Adorable!

A big thank you to the Carters for having such a cute child!

We’ve been buried in a mountain of prints and albums for the past few weeks, and completely missed the festivities of Halloween and Bonfire Night.  We were both itching to leave the confines of our office and decided to head for Manchester on Friday for the "Christmas light switch on".  We took along our little point and shoot camera (Canon G9 for those who are interested!)…

Is that a UFO in the background?

We actually almost missed the show as we were distracted by cocktails at Bacchanalia

Unfortunately we were so transfixed by Leon Jackson and the fireworks that we completely forgot to take pictures

As an advisory note I would like to add that drinking iced beverages outside in November is not something I would recommend…I have been freezing ever since!

Emma and Mark were married on Saturday at the fabulous Lowry.  They wanted their day to be fun and relaxed, and they definitely achieved this.  They both share a passion for adventure and travel…can you believe they’re going to the poles for their honeymoon for a MONTH?!  There were lots of quirky details and even a visit from their dog Campbell, which made this wedding that little bit out of the ordinary!

Emma’s gorgeous dress…

 

These have to be the least ‘bridal’ shoes ever, but totally awesome!

Best light for doing makeup? Outside!

So pretty!

Blue sky over the Lowry

Emma’s Mum was checking out how much Mark was shaking!

He was pretty calm!

Here she comes!

Doing a runner!

Luckily she didn’t get far!

Married!

Love these ‘crowd’ shots!

This bridge was the perfect spot for a group shot

Mulled wine and milling

Time for some portraits…

Love this bridge

Their gorgeous dog Campbell stopped by to say congratulations!

So cute

You don’t get walls like this every day!

I have to put a few reception details on here because they were fab…

Check out the table plan

Each table was complete with a photo of Campbell in various outfits!

Emma’s talented sister spent HOURS making this stunning cake

Dinner and sunset = fabulous

Some shots of the speeches

Some fun with sparklers!

We have to give special mention to guests Lisa and Gareth (who’s wedding we photographed last year), as they are three months away from having a baby!

First dance…

Hope you two have a lovely honeymoon, wrap up warm and take lots of pictures of the penguins! X
