Amy & Nick were an absolute joy, both to photograph and hang out with. So funny, so full of energy. It wasn’t only the bride and groom either, everyone present appeared to be having the absolute time of their lives. I want to photograph these guys every day!

Only the wedding reception that was held at Eden Barn. Amy and her bridesmaids got ready at Low Ploughlands which was bright and spacious. The light here was so good – which is pretty much the most important thing for beautiful pictures! Hair and makeup was by the amazing Daniella Makeup & Hair. Everyone then pilled into a VW Camper to head to St Theobald’s Church – another beautiful spot.

After tying the knot, the guests all jumped on a bus to the reception while I had a few minutes with Amy & Nick for some portraits near the church (it was too pretty not to!). Once we got to Eden Barn it was time for drinks and mingling with all the guests, with some time taken to admire the beautiful flowers by Aspen & Ivy and all the fabulous decorations Amy & Nick had chosen. I wish I could remember who made the cake – it was amazing!!

The speeches were hilarious, I hope they found room for the full size cardboard versions of Nick somewhere in the house . There was a magician entertaining everyone (even the Eden Barn bar staff!). Then the party really kicked off with an amazing band from Après Music, there was a roving sax and drum player. It was simply brilliant. I didn’t want to leave! It was great to work with Just by Michael on video duty too.

Here are some of my favourite images from this amazing wedding at Eden Barn:

The wedding itself was so much fun. Jen & Craig are the kind of people who can have a great time wherever they are, and this kind of joy is infectious – everywhere we looked we saw smiling happy people having the best time. It was relaxed, emotional (so many tears!), just brilliant. Perfect for photographers like us that have a love for real moments.

Here are some of our favourite photographs from their Wyresdale Park wedding:

After spending the morning with Jayne getting ready (complete with plenty of cute parent/bridesmaid moments!) it was on to the candle lit ceremony. We then ran straight up to the roof top with some amazing panoramic views over Manchester for portraits while there was still some light in the sky.

I must confess this has to be one of my favourite weddings. Don’t tell anyone though – we’re not supposed to have favourites. It must be because I’ve secretly always wanted to live in Manchester.

Hilarious speeches followed the portraits, but the laughing faces captured below weren’t all from these. They were actually just having that much fun during the meal! The dance floor was similarly high energy. Everyone was up dancing to the amazing band, or posing in the Photo Booth. I didn’t want to leave!

We’d love to photograph more weddings at King Street Townhouse if this one is anything to go by!

Here are the pictures:

Sara & Tim giggled their way through most of the day. We love that! Tim’s speech was both hilarious and brought everyone (especially his parents) to tears. We did never get to see the special lunge that first attracted Sara to him though!

There were many special touches throughout the day to really make it personal to them. The guests all enjoyed a mulled wine on arrival, a beautiful musical interlude in the ceremony made everyone tear up. Even the cake was made by a sister in law. Other people helped too – too many for me to remember in fact! Additional decor provided by Quirk It.

A ceilidh band in the evening made sure everyone was up on the dance floor, at least until the pizzas came out anyway! Great to see a previous couple of ours again too – the lovely Emily & Daniel.

Here are some of our favourite images from the day:

As the weather was so lovely (September weddings are where it’s at!), Charlie & Tom decided to move the dance floor outside in the evening. It looked amazing!  Festoon lights obviously needed to pull off the look

Most importantly, Charlie & Tom are just so obviously in love – all the little looks throughout the day just melted our cold dead hearts.

Here are lots of our favourite wedding pictures from their day:

Everything took place at the Inn at Whitewell, so there wasn’t really a need for a car. However, Caroline’s dad knew that her dream car was a Jaguar e-type so he tracked down her grandad’s old one (which had been lovingly restored) to take her to the church. Such a lovely gesture and a great example of how both Caroline & Dan’s family went above and beyond to make this day as special as possible.

Here are some highlights from their wedding pictures:

Now we’ve photographed lots of weddings at the main house at Middleton Lodge, but this was our first time in the Fig House, and we have to say it’s simply gorgeous! Set inside the walled garden, and with beautiful exposed brick inside with those fabulous arched windows – it felt like we were in Tuscany.

Here are an extremely curated selection of our favourite pictures from their wedding day (I think we had around 500 actual favourites, but that’s possibly too much to blog!):

There were shots during the speeches, Krispy Kreme instead of a cake, Kat & Mike’s adorable dog, and just a general air of giddiness. I wish everyone was enjoying life as much as this pair.

Here are lots of our favourite pictures from the day. I defy you not to smile along!

We also live in the same village as these lovely folk (Adlington, just down the road from Rivington), and they appear to know everyone! People have been randomly coming up to us asking to see their pictures, so we hope everyone likes them, or we might have to move house!

Red Floral Design did an amazing job, completely transforming the interior with a very unique, all green, look. Dancefloor Couture were in charge of the fabulous music (which included Al Grant Sax). The vendor lineup was completed by Ever After Video who were great to work with and did a really cool same day edit in the evening.

Here are lots of our favourite photographs from their wedding at Rivington Hall Barn:

The wedding ceremony was at the glorious Liverpool Cathedral, which is staggering in its size and beauty. The wedding took place in the chapel at the cathedral for a more intimate feel. We then moved on to Sefton Palm House for the Persian marriage blessing and the rest of the celebrations.

Charlotte Elise Events did an amazing job of pulling it all together. We loved working with all the brilliant suppliers too – Surprise Shows put on a fabulous performance which had everyone out of their seats. The Frostery made an amazing cake, Verdure Floral Design provided the most beautiful florals. Hair and makeup by Artiste UK, catering by Dine Events, lighting by Ultra Lighting Hire. Lit Candles (run by a previous couple of ours!) provided the bespoke candles. And finally, we want to give a massive shout out to the awesome Adam Wing and Stuart who were filming with us (not the ITV film crew, although they were pretty cool too).

We were delighted that Hanna & Martin’s wedding was featured in Hello Magazine and Brides Magazine. But we can’t let that stop us sharing some of our favourite photographs from their wonderful Sefton Palm House wedding. Enjoy!
