It just so happened that Lois and John shared their wedding with Knutsford Carnival.  Although this meant that the logistics of getting to The Belle Epoque were a little more tricky, when we did arrive we were treated to a bunting filled street – I LOVE bunting!

On with the photos…

Some last minute speech prep!

Pretty flowers!

Ah how I love lace…

Such a lovely ceremony…

Married!

Off to the cosy pub next door to warm up!

Love these shots in bunting, so British!

SO PRETTY!

Wonderful speeches!

Lois and John, thank you so much for a brilliant day! xx

Kim and John are having a fabulous city wedding this summer, it’s going to be AMAZING!

It was so quiet and peaceful by the water :-)

Just to clarify, these dogs do not belong to them…

Humphrey didn’t want to leave!

We left them unattended for 2 minutes and they started tree climbing!

Thanks for a fun evening guys! xx

Felicity and Jon are lovely, funny people and it was genuinely just nice to hang out with them for the day.  ’Queen of the schedule’ Felicity had organised everything to perfection, and despite a rather changeable weather forecast the sun even shone, not sure how she managed that!  Gold Louboutins, ice cream, AMAZING flowers and Thornton Manor…brilliant :-)

Congratulations Felicity and Jon!  Hope you’re having an amazing honeymoon xxx

Holly = funny, energetic and endlessly expressive.  She’s a whirlwind.  I want to have as much fun as Holly does.

Martin = calm, caring and endlessly surprising.  I say that because half an hour before the speeches he told me he was nervous; by the end of his speech everyone was in tears.  Half an hour before the first dance he told me he was nervous; pretty soon after he was in a dance -off.

It’s nice to see the groom pampering too :-)

Lovely gifts for the girls…

Holly’s first reaction to her present from Martin (besides crying), “how did he hide this?! I’m going to have to watch him!”…

Brolly time

Time to get that (custom designed by the way) dress on – fondly referred to as ‘the monstrosity’…

Meanwhile Martin was hiding at the back of Shelley Church…

A campervan in the rain :-)

Husband and wife!

We love Rudding Park!

Before we all drowned we made the group decision to do the rest inside :-)

These two can entertain each other forever…

Details details details!

80s party bags for the boys, what a BRILLIANT idea!

If Holly ever gives up her career in nursing, I reckon she’d make a darn good photographer :-)

Holly and Martin’s dog (baby) was really missed at the wedding; her sis and friends made them a little slideshow…

This is the face you pull when you’ve just cut the cake and then it’s announced “Holly and Martin are about to cut the cake, get ready!”…

Let’s pretend it never happened…

Hiding!

Holly and Martin, it was such a pleasure to capture your day! xx

Their wedding was the same, and very much about the two of them. Just like us on our wedding day, they kept taking time out to be with each other and fully enjoy the fact that this was their wedding!

Here are some of our favourite images from their day:

Connie laughs constantly!

A quick round of golf for the boys.

Love the duck.

My favourite :)

The poor best man was given the wrong suit pants! Jeans it is then.

3 tiers, now that’s a bacon sandwich!

James has been fixing up this car for years.

Amazing what a scotsman can hide up his kilt.

to be continued…

It had rained all day so the giant jenga hadn’t seen much use. You can rely on a band though.

Awesome first dance moves.

As good as the first dance was, I’m not sure anyone could top this kid’s robot moves.

When’s the best time to show the groom that you dismantled his car? When you’re holding him up in the air, obviously.

Congratulations, Connie & James! xx

Our good friend Stewart (the genius behind Folio fine art albums) mentioned a while ago, over a pie and a pint, that he was thinking of hiring a camper van and touring the UK.  Not everyone can make the big photography conventions, and this way hopefully those who haven’t stroked their lovely pages and sniffed their delicious leather covers can have the chance.  In true Stewart style (just like the time a few years before when he said he was going to start making albums for himself), this is happening, and it’s going to be brilliant.

We’ll be at the Manchester meet on Sunday 27th May at The March Hare, come by and say hi!

Here are some of our favourites:

Here’s the story of their day…

The men folk (and ‘best woman’!) played a bit of golf in the drizzle…

It’s handy to have a friend with an awesome camper van!

Putting the dress on is EXCITING!!!

It’s also very handy to have an Uncle Bernard with a beautiful Austin Healey!

Snazzy tie time…

Lee designed his ring to include the words ‘hope’ and ‘at home’. Arww.

Women make excellent best men :-)

A bit of speech pondering…

TIme to make a break for the trees!

Lee loves 1970′s photography, so we had to shoot a little film…

That’s enough of that, where were we…

Lovely speeches!

A few more portraits in the golden light…

Congrats Mary & Lee, you are awesome! x
