So excited to be photographing this joyful pair getting married soon 🙂

So excited to be photographing this joyful pair getting married soon 🙂

It was so nice to finally meet Nic and Nicole (we’d previously only chatted over Skype as they live in Belgium). Â They had planned a wonderfully personal wedding in Nic’s home town, and people travelled from far and wide to celebrate with them. Â It was a real Manchester wedding too, starting off with glorious…

I was looking forward to Sarah & Tim’s wedding so much! Tim is an awesome wedding photographer (along with best man Paul) and wedding photographer’s know how to party!  Ok, that’s not always true, but I wanted to make us sound cool.  Anyway, Tim & Sarah are adorable with each other, and their daughter…

We had no idea how beautiful Rochdale was! Â Last week we went for a wander around its pretty hills and reservoirs with these lovely folk (ok, it turned into quite a walk – but we were trying to get our steps in!). Â Although Catherine was apparently not used to Dave looking quite so adoringly…

These guys know how to do a family weekend away – all twenty of them came up to the Lakes to celebrate Mum’s birthday, play football, drink some bubbles, and then we turned up to take some pictures 🙂

Loulie and Murray had their gorgeous wedding at The Orangery at Settrington, part of a really beautiful estate in North Yorkshire.  It’s always so nice to visit places we’ve never been before, and we fell in love with it as soon as we arrived. We’ve had a long break from weddings and were recharged and…

We went for a lovely wander around Bolton Abbey in the sunshine with Louise and James. Â We had so much fun hanging out with these guys, can’t wait for their wedding next month!

This seemed like the perfect shoot to post on Mother’s Day, Lula and her lovely Mummys 🙂 We’ve known Lula since she was a little bump (Karen and Jo went to the same NCT class as we did when we were expecting Albert!), and it’s so wonderful to see the gorgeous, cheeky faced little…

It always feels like the year is over before we know it (time flies when you’re having fun and all that); it’s only when we come to choose some of our favourites for one of these round up posts that we look back on all the wonderful adventures we’ve had, and truly appreciate what…

It was so wonderful to take some ‘bump photos’ for Shelley and Chris. Â It may not feel like it at the time, but you really forget afterwards what it’s like to have a bump (and Shelley’s is spectacular, well worth a photo or two!).

Just before Christmas we spent a lovely day at The Chester Grosvenor watching Siobhan and Scott get married. Â Before the big day they expressed to us (as almost all of our couples do!) that they hate having their picture taken, and despite being together forever they have no pictures of the two of them….

Merry Christmas one and all! We will be ‘out of the office’ until the 4th January, so unless it’s a photographic emergency please leave us to our mulled wine and mince pies 🙂

Welcome to the world Clara, you have such awesome parents!  I’d forgotten how small 6 week olds are, so adorable 🙂

These lovely people, Lauren & Paul, got married at the always beautiful Allerton Castle a couple of weeks ago, and we just had to get their blog up in time for Christmas! It was a rainy, cosy, wintery day (but no floods here!) so while we couldn’t venture outside for pictures, it really didn’t…
