Charlotte and Paul live in Australia but decided to get hitched back in the North West, in January…there wasn’t a flip flop or surf board or barbecue in sight.  What there was however, was a bunch of lovely people to celebrate their day.  There was also a bit of sunshine, they must have brought it with them.

Jenny Packham dreaminess…

Gorgeous Rachel Simpson shoes…

Meanwhile Paul was lounging around at the Midland…

Time to put that stunning dress on…

Paul is so flippin’ cool.

Manchester Town Hall is so pretty

Here we go…

We had to do a few portraits around the town hall, because it’s amazing.

Then we had a little wander around the nearby streets for some gritty Manchester stuff

Mingling at the Midland…

A few from the speeches…

Some dance floor action…

Thanks for an amazing day Charlotte and Paul! x

Michelle’s gorgeous Caroline Castigliano gown…

You may recognise the lovely Romina from her wedding in 2010! She and Rich are expecting a little baby girl soon

Meanwhile Phil was in the billiard room with the men folk…

The bridesmaids looked fabulous!

Adorable page boy alert!

Dress time. Wow did she look good.

Phil was starting to look a little nervous!

Adorable

Married!

A brave five minutes out in the cold…

Gorgeous details…

Speech time!

These two are after our job…

Guestbook + polaroid camera + dressing up box = awesome.

Michelle is a dance teacher so it came as no surprise that she had choreographed a little something. Despite being a bit nervous, Phil rocked it. A* Phil!

Congrats Michelle and Phil! xx

We are greedy and have two trees..one real (love the smell) and a little faux one which lives in the attic…

Love our tacky sign!

This year I made a photo book for the Lawsons which involved stealing their photos and scanning them late into the night like an elf!

The one day it snowed!

Cosy

My Christmas earrings!

First thing on Christmas morning we drank tea out of Christmas mugs and opened pressies!

Then we visited Pete’s parents and co and opened some more

Boxing day was spent cooking and celebrating with my parents…

…and the next morning we walked off some of that turkey!

We also had some pretty epic nights out including a fantabulous Christmas party in Blackpool with some photo buddies…

…and a reunion with my college buddies who haven’t changed a bit

 Fa la la la la la la la la.

Something old, new, borrowed and blue from her girls…

It was really hard to get any expression out of Dan…

What do you do when you bought special silver Hunter wellies for the wedding and it’s not going to rain?  You wear them with you PJs.

A morning highlight: Manisha’s mum doing a sneaky shot!

The perfect day for a walk.  It was in fact the cheesiest winters day I have ever seen – on our way in the morning we drove through the frosted forest, and two deer ran across the road and off into the sunrise.  It was like a really elaborate Christmas card.

Church time!

She looked beautiful!

A wonderfully emotional ceremony…

At the back of the bus Dan was revealing the top secret honeymoon destination…

She was pretty excited!

En route to Cripps Barn we stumbled upon the car-which-was-supposed-to-turn-up-but-didn’t.

Some woodland adventuring…

Mulled wine = winter wedding essential!

Time to eat!

I love speeches.  These were magnificent.

These people know how to party!

Manisha and Dan, you rule. RT.
