Lucie and David's Wedding At The Cloisters Suite, Holiday Inn, Bolton!

Back to the Holiday Inn! This is fast becoming my most photographed wedding venue, and there is a good reason why. The venue is amazing, I’ve said it time and time again on this blog and I’m unsure whether my photo’s can really do it the justice it deserves. If you are reading this and looking for a place to tie the knot then head over there asap and see it for yourself.

Anyway, I arrived at the venue early and headed to the Cloisters Suite to snap some shots of the room whilst it was unattended. The couple had arranged for the room to be dressed to match the theme colours, and it looked spectacular. The venue dressers had done a fantastic job tying up the green colours of the bridesmaids dresses (if you’re reading this, I lost your card – drop me a line and I’ll give you a shout out on here). Once I was done I headed over to the front of the hotel to catch the lads arriving early doors to catch some liquid refreshment before the ceremony. David and his groomsmen are a top bunch of lads and were in good spirits. I jumped in the lift upstairs to catch the bride and bridesmaids' final preparations. Lucie lost an amazing 4 stone in her preparations for her big day and was featured in both Slimming World and Wedding Ideas magazine. Lucie looked stunning in a dress which really complimented her new slimline figure. The bridesmaids were in a very tasteful lime(?)ish green colour outfit, with the flower girls in dresses that matched up perfectly.

The service was held in the Cloisters Suite and featured both Lucie and David being quite emotional, as well as very eager to say ‘I will’! David’s best man and ushers did a stirling job assisting me in rounding up the necessary participants for the group shots. His best man also did a fantastic job in stitching his brother up during the speeches, as well as on the stag do by all accounts. Lucie’s Dad brought his folk band along for the evening do and the couple rounded off the day with their first dance performed by the band.

URBAN BEEYATCHES!

I went out a couple of weeks ago with Cecelia and Becky for a fashion style photoshoot on the streets of Manchester. I found a few decent locations and we headed off out for about an hour with the theme of Urban Bitches! Some results below.

Calender Girls for Christies

Ok, its been a while since I posted on here so time for an update.

In February I was asked to photograph lots of semi naked women in a pub after closing time. Being a married man I naturally declined the offer until I was told the cause. After finding out one of their close friends had been having treatment for cancer, a bunch of ladies decided to help raise money Christies Hospital by doing a calendar girls style shoot. So on March 16th I made my way to the Help Me Thro’ pub in Bury, to do the shoot. What a laugh! The girls were on top form and I must say very brave to be getting undressed in front of me (although I think the fact it was held in a pub gave them something to assist with the poses, including a topless group shot done outside the pub as below).

Calendergirls Group

They are currently trying to raise funds to get the calendars printed up. Details of how you can donate can be found on the site below.

TWISTED

OK so not really photography related but I've always fancied myself as a bit of a graphic designer too. My friends have started up a club night called Twisted, held on the last Saturday of every month at a club in Bury. They asked me to do them a poster advertising each night so I thought I'd share the first 3 with you!
