It was great to catch up with Katie & Kelvin this week ahead of their wedding at the amazing Mitton Hall later in the year. Katie & Kelvin decided on a city shoot for their pre-wedding photos as a nice contrast to their wedding day at Mitton Hall in the countryside. We met up at Bluu in the Northern Quarter for a drink and chat before we headed out for a meander through the Northern Quarter to shoot some awesome stuff! Here’s a few of my faves…

What are the odds…?!?!

Great work guys – can’t wait for your big day now!

Can’t wait!

It was great to catch up with Lindsay & Chris for their Blackpool pre-wedding shoot ahead of their wedding in June…in France! Woop! Lindsay & Chris are getting married at the stunning Chateau De La Couronne in the south-west of France and it’s going to be amazing!
I met up with them in Blackpool so that they could get some of their hometown weaved into their wedding photography story and we had great fun. These two are seriously gorgeous and look soooooooo good together – good job they’re getting married!

Here’s a few of my faves from the shoot…

Awesome work Lindsay & Chris – can’t wait for your big day now!!!

I spent a great afternoon wandering round Tatton Park with Ruth & Paul for their pre-wedding shoot. It was a beautiful spring afternoon and we rounded it off the way all pre-wedding shoots should be rounded off – with prosecco & beers! Marvellous!

I’d been looking forward to Ruth & Paul’s shoot for ages – I’ve known them (especially Ruth!) for quite a while now. I first met her the first time I met Alexis off of Alexis and Adam as Ruth was helping Alexis with wedding dress shopping and I happened to be at an open evening at Dreamcatcher Bridal in Kirkham – which is quite a while back now! Ruth and Paul were then at Ali & Adam’s wedding, so it was great to see them there as well as when I’d met them when they booked me to shoot their big day. I love it when you get to see brides and grooms a few times before their day!

So…onto the pre-wedding shoot – we had a lot of fun! We took advantage of some local street urchin’s mild vandalism and we shot some gorgeous images along the way! I really can’t wait for Ruth and Paul’s big day in Manchester now – they get married at Manchester Town Hall and then are having an intimate reception at The Restaurant Bar and Grill before a MASSIVE evening bash at The Victoria and Albert Hotel – it’s going to be awesome!

Here’s a few of my faves from their Tatton Park pre-wedding shoot…

I had a great morning with Caz & Darren last week, meandering our way around the grounds of Quarry Bank Mill and shooting some amazing stuff. They’re getting married at The Belle Epoque in Knutsford in a few weeks time and I know it’s going to be the most amazing day!

Here’s a little sneak preview at Caroline & Darren’s shoot….

How cool are these two?!?!  They are going to look amazing on their big day – I seriously can’t wait for it now!

What a glorious day today!  You’ve got to love the great British weather – you never know what it’s going to do and today it surprised us by being sunny, warm, beautiful – love it!  I met up with Hannah & Ian at Alderley Edge for a wander round the forest to shoot some pre-wedding images.  I’m pretty sure they won’t mind me telling you that they were slightly apprehensive about what lay in store, which I guess is one of the main points of the pre-wedding shoot – get those feelings out their system, so that on their big day they know I’m not going to have them doing things they’re uncomfortable with, that make them feel awkward – they’re going to be totally relaxed and trusting in me that we’ll shoot the most beautiful set of images for them.

Hannah & Ian were amazing this morning – I didn’t actually believe that they were apprehensive about the shoot because they looked so damn good through the lens!  I’m sure you’ll agree…

How amazing do Hannah & Ian look?!?!  I really can’t wait for their big day at Heaton House Farm now – it’s going to be awesome!

Zoe & Mark are an awesome couple – great fun to be around and getting married at one of my absolutely favourite venues, the stunning Styal Lodge in Cheshire. I spent a few hours with them at Lyme Park in Cheshire for their pre-wedding shoot and we got some great stuff.  Here’s a little sneaky peek…

Mark does an awesome ‘mean and moody’!!!

Really great to catch up with you this week guys – can’t wait for your big day to come round!

I’m really excited about Andy & Seb’s big day at Styal Lodge in a few months time – two of the loveliest guys you’ll ever meet getting married in one of the most gorgeous venues! Perfect!

It was great to catch up with Andy & Seb up at Lyme Park in Cheshire – we got really lucky as there was even a bit of snow down for our shoot! Here’s a little sneaky peek…

Great to see you guys – can’t wait for your big day at Styal Lodge now!!!
