Danny & Clare had requested the assistance of one of my photographers, Louu. As per usual Louu came away with superb shotsof the day
We started the day with Clare for some shots of her getting the finishing touches to her hair and make up, along with her bridesmaids and flower girls
After a few candid shots of the girls, Louu & I drove the short distance to catch Danny and best man Paul doing a touch of ironing and brushing off their suits
The boys were ready just in time for the arrival of a pair of fabulous Bentley’s which were to whisk them off to Bootle Town Hall for the ceremony
Danny seemed a little nervous but Paul did his best to calm his nerves
Only a few minutes after Dannyhad gone to take his place and await his bride Clare arrived again in a Bentley to be walked down the ailse by a very proud grandfather
The ceremony was lovely and quite emotional with a few tears being shed
After a few formal shots of the bridal party outside of the Town Hall we hopped into the Bentleys for the short drive to the reception in Ince Blundell
On the way we stopped for a short time for a few shots of Danny, Clare and bridesmaids with the cars
The wedding breakfast & reception went very well, with only one hitch. The DJ failed to turn up! After a bit of a panic a replacement was located and arrived to rapturous applause from the guests
We left the guests to enjoy and dance the night away, reflecting on what a wonderful day Louu & I had enjoyed
A twelve hour day but we enjoyed every minute of it

11 bridesmaids, 4 bestmen and 200 guests
For the occasion I asked Marcos James again for his assistance. Thank you once again Marcos for a fantastic job
It was an early start at 9 o’clock, I went to meet Kate and the girls whilst Marcos met Richard and the boys for breakfast to watch the rugby world cup
Kate had organised everything with military precision. It all ran like clock work with the cars leaving bang on time
Very kindly, Richards father Gary had donated his new Rolls Royce for the bride and groom to use for the day
We took the twenty minute drive to Hagley Hall where Richard was eagerly awaiting the arrival of his bride. Kate looked absolutely stunning
Kate’s father, Rod had come over from Holland to walk his daughter down the aisle. His face was a picture walking arm and arm down the ailse with her
Then something happened that I’d never ever seen before …. Kate went to take her seat, her father thinking he was helping moved her chair to allow for Kates dress to fall into place
You’ve guessed it, Kate went straight on the floor. For what seemed like a minute but really was only a few seconds there was a deathly silence. Then Kate burst into laughter closely followed by all of the guests
Everything else ran very smoothly during the service and we moved into the Main Hall for some champagne tatsing whilst Richard & Kate chatted with their guests
After some informal portraits and group shots we then drove to Kateshill House for the wedding breakfast
The evening flew by with everybody having a really good time
Richard and Kates first dance was something else, ‘the time of my life’ from Dirty Dancing. Every move was perfect, even the lift. I’m sure there was some dance lessons involved, even the bridemaids were involved
Marcos & I had an amazing day and would like to thank Richard & Kate for asking us to be part of it

For this wedding I requested the help of Louu, who came away with some stunning work
Paula & Tim had picked an absolutely stunning venue, the ‘Isla Gladstone Conseratory’ in Stanley Park, Liverpool. A new venue to us and one we can’t wait to return to in the future
Tim arrived in plenty of time, to await the arrival of his bride. Paula was fashionably late, due the fact the limousine she had picked was too long to fit into the grounds of the venue
After a few manoeuvres the chauffeur finally manged to get the car into a position to let Paula and her father Brian walk up the aisle
Paula looked beautiful as she walked down the aisle, Tim’s face lit the room up when he turned around to see his bride walking towards him
The ceremony was lovely, lots of emotion and full of laughter ……..
We moved outside to take some candid group shots and the whisked Tim & Paula into the nearby park for some relaxed portraits
The speeches and wedding breakfast flew by and we were soon into the first dance, something I’d never seen or witnessed before. A Ceilidh(Scotish dance)
The Ceilidh was so much fun, everybody couldn’t stop laughing at each other but once everyone had got to grips with the moves it was an impressive site
Before we knew it the evening was coming to a close, what a wonderful and very different day
Thank you to Paula & Tim for letting us be part of their amazing day

I quickly persuaded Dean, Nigel the best man and the ushers to make their way down to the beach for a few informal shots of the guys larking around, as they do
It was soon time to meet with Angharad and her bridesmaids for some beautiful shots of the girls putting the finishing touches to their hair and make up
Before we knew it the Rolls Royce taking Angharad to the church had arrived. I made my way to the church which was only half a mile away, ready to receive the bridal party arriving at the church
The ceremony was beautiful in the quaint little church but after a few formal shots we took the thirty minute drive in the Rolls Royce along the coastline to the Plas Dolguog Hotel near Machynlleth
I took Dean and Angharad off into the stunning grounds of the hotel which featured a small river, bridges and a number of wooden walk ways for some informal shots
The speeches were hilarious with Nigel and Bryn battling for the honours
The laughter and enjoyment carried on into the first dance and I left them as they really started to party into the night.
