Ripley Castle pre wedding shoot with Lois and Luke.

Luke and Lois are very excited about their wedding day. They have had their day planned for the last couple of years and I just cannot believe how fast the 2 years have gone by since they booked their photography. 
Their whole day will be spent celebrating at Ripley Castle in North Yorkshire.
I love Ripley Castle, it's a beautiful venue and we decided to meet there for the pre wed shoot so we could explore the estate and gardens after catching up over a cup of tea!

Lois and Luke were pretty relaxed in front of the camera and we made use of Ripley's gorgeous walled garden and the woods. The wisteria looked fantastic and I love the shots of them in front of it. So take a peek at a few of the images from their shoot.
Can't wait to shoot their big day!










Thanks Lois and Luke!! x

Anna and Andy - Cheshire wedding

I travelled down to the beautiful little village of Farndon in Cheshire just on the Welsh border at the weekend to shoot Anna and Andy's wedding day. 
Friday evening was spent attending the church rehearsal and then scouting out photo shoot locations down on the banks of the River Dee. Its a gorgeous location with some fantastic backgrounds to use.
On the morning of their wedding day I spent the morning at Anna's parents house with lots of family busying themselves getting ready.
Anna looked absolutely stunning, her hair and make up were just beautiful and she was so relaxed. She has the most amazing smile!




They spent most of the ceremony giggling and looking at each other and it was a really lovely ceremony.....


Followed by an impressive confetti tunnel.....

followed by a walk through the quiet village back streets and time alone by the river for their Bride and Groom shots.




 They were whisked away from the river in their open top car and enjoyed a lovely relaxed reception at Cheshire View. The weather was glorious and guests enjoyed drinks and canapes outside in the sun whilst we took some family photos. There were some emotional speeches, quite a lot of tears from the girls followed by games on the huge lawn and topped off by some epic moves on the dance floor!!
All in all, a fabulous wedding. I enjoyed every single minute, and I even got a bit of a tan!
Congratulations Anna and Andy!
