Faye and Lee's wedding was at the Dunkenhalgh hotel. It is an extremely popular venue which regularly handles 3-4 weddings simultaneously. The grounds are superb, there are two purpose built gazebos. The courtyard with the hanging baskets and the ornamental fountain is perhaps the best location.

Inside there is a marvellous staircase. Faye had her favourite pictures taken here. Outside when it is dark the whole building is floodlit. Their son Damien proved to be star of the show. He put a special dance with mum and spent the rest of the evening scooting around the tables on a little bike he had been presented with.

The wedding of Rebecca and Daniel

Rebecca and Daniel's wedding was at Gibbon Bridge. It has the nicest gardens in the whole of Lancashire. Daniel was a very demonstrable groom, he actively participated in the ‘Friends’ shots. I felt I could have spent another half hour in those magnificent gardens.

A Ukrainian wedding

Lisa and Mark got married at the Ukrainian church in Oldham. During the ceremony the traditional crowns were placed on their heads. at the reception they were greeted with a small glass of spirit and pinches of salt. As they entered the room they passed under a specially baked loaf with a decoration of small doves.

Two of Marks ushers were Royal Marine Commandos, one of whom was decorated. Some photographs were takn in the grounds Mark's father's impressive house.

A Wedding in the snow

Philippa and Neil's wedding was on the Saturday when the really heavy snow had just come down. The motorways were closed and what would normally have been a half hour's journey took me three hours to get to the church. Actually I got to within half a mile of the church but had to walk the rest of the way. Guests with 4x4's flattened a track for the wedding party so Philippa's car got her right up to the church entrance.

Philippa arrived in the middle of a snow storm. After changing from her boots to her shoes in the church doorway she made her entrance. The snow had stopped when she came out and everybody went to Farrington Lodge. Philippa was really keen on getting pictures in the snow so she urged everybody to brave the cold.

Simone and Richards Wedding

Simone and Richard had a Xmas theme their wedding. Simone choose red for her bridesmaids dresses having her flower girl in white with a red sash and purse. Between the church and the reception the car driver stopped at one of Simones favourite views just as the clouds were coming over the hills.

The reception was at Mesnes Hall near Clitheroe. A picturesque setting for a winter wedding.

A Lake District Wedding

Karen and Mark chose the Langdale Chase Hotel on the banks of Lake Windermere for their wedding. A superb venue with stunning views. It has a impressive interior and beautiful gardens. It was a very emotional day for both of them.

After the ceremony and the group photographs in the grounds, the whole bridal party went on a cruise of the lake. A lively party ensued. After the speeches Karen and Mark had a picture as the sun set over the peaks with the sun reflecting on Windermere.

Anna and Leon's wedding

Anna got married at a beautiful church, All Saints in Liverpool. She went on to the Crowne Plaza. We stopped off at Albert Dock in the afternoon and later we were lucky that  the skies were clear for a sunset and a moonlight picture. The white bridge is about 2-3 minutes walk but well worth the effort. It was just a little too windy for the Chinese lanterns that had been planned. Permission had been sought from the coastguard but they advised we might have problems because wind speed was about 20 mph. Ideally wind speed should be less than 10mph.
