Leanne and Dave at The Worsley Marriott, Worsley, Salford

So after leaving Hilary and Carl's fantastic bash (see previous post), I had to head home, download the images taken to my computer and back them up, clear the memory cards, charge the camera batteries and get to bed so I was bright and fresh for Leanne and Dave’s wedding the very next day. So up I got and headed over to the Marriott Hotel in Worsley. It was a beautiful day, sun shining all day long. Leanne and her bridesmaids looked amazing and were amazingly calm and serene as they made their preparations for the event. Dave is a top lad and his best man and ushers were all round good blokes on the day. The couple wrote and read their own vows on the day, which made the service itself really personal to them. The Marriott at Worley is a great venue for a wedding with lovely rooms and grounds, which were great for getting some special shots.

I must give a special thanks to the Toastmaster, Stephen, who was simply a legend on the day. He organised everyone throughout the whole event, which aided me no end in being able to just concentrate on getting some great photos for the couple. I cannot recommend this man highly enough. He comes as part of the wedding package at the Marriott but if you want him at your wedding then get in touch and I’ll pass his details to you.

Congratulations to Leanne and Dave!

Hilary and Carl at The Mercure Dunkenhalgh Hotel and Spa, Clayton Le Moors

The Dunkenhalgh Hotel and Spa in Blackburn was the setting for Hilary and Carl's big day. A beautiful stately home which is a perfect set up for a full day's service and reception. Hilary and her bridemaids looked great even before they were completely dressed… and by that I mean they all looked fab in their matching pyjamas! Carl, seemingly not one to do things by half, arrived at the venue by helicopter before making his way to the room for the service. The tough looking groom completely melted when he saw his gorgeous bride walking down the aisle. This set the tone for a great day filled with laughs, tears and a whole lot of fun! Highlights below.

All the very best to the both of you! I really hope you love looking at your pics as much as I loved taking them!

Tracy and Glenn at Buile Hill Park Hall, Salford

Ok, time for more catchy uppy!

Tracy and Glenn tied the knot at Buile Hill Park Hall in Salford. I arrived at the bride's house to the scene of Tracy’s army of bridesmaids helping her prepare for this great day. The park hall was a belting venue for the service and the reception with the staff working effortlessly to make the day run smoothly. The couple chose an outdoor barbeque for their wedding breakfast, which was served just in time to miss the typical Manchester shower. For evening reception the DJ made countless costume changes and had a team of dancers to help get the party started! Highlights below:
